Near freezing, snow isn't expected but obviously it's still possible. Bad news for Peyton. I like Seattle to win big if it's windy.

If it is windy, Russel Wilson relies on running around and chucking it in the air, he's not exactly great at intermediate passing. Windy could be bad for him as well, then s could focus more on Lynch.

Maybe Bruno Mars and Anthony Kedis will break out a key of coke and do a cover of white lines while Yaying the out!

According to the biography of the RHCP they were opportunist junkies in the late 70's and up to the mid-90's. So i'm sure he won't discriminate.

Well, glad you made it through--I lost a couple good friends in my teens to drug overdoses so it's amazing to hear people doing hard for 15-30 years and are alright...all things considered.

Yeah, I had some friends die from opiate overdoses in the past few years. Sad stuff, all of them younger than me.

Worst winter in years in the Northeast and Midwest, too. Serves them right.

Serves them right for what exactly? The Broncos are one of those teams that had to pay their dues to get back to the Superbowl

Yeah, I don't see why they deserve it either. Love or hate the broncos, they're a quiet team that doesn't do a lot of talking and generally keeps to themselves.

Spurs fans should love the Broncos.

Not about the Broncos, it's about the NFL stupidly scheduling this game in a cold-weather city. I have nothing against either team.

To take the NFL's side here, they scheduled this game in New York because they WANTED a Super Bowl in winter elements. The fact that this has been a harsher winter than in recent years is just a feather in their cap. This is what they wanted. This isn't like the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas where it decided to snow all over Texas for the first time since the 1980s, but at least Jerryworld is indoors.

See, that's just ing asinine, pardon my French. This is the LAST game anyone should want to be affected by the weather. This is a championship game- it demands good conditions, a fast track and an opportunity for the players to perform to the best of their abilities and for the coaches to use their entire playbooks without being concerned about how the weather is going to affect their gameplans.

I think people tend to over-romanticize cold-weather football. Who wants to see a championship game turned into a mess of punts, turnovers and dropped passes? I'm only rooting for terrible weather just so the NFL can learn its lesson about scheduling a Super Bowl outdoors in the North.

6-12 inches of snow in NY/NJ next week with possibly more coming

[blah blah blah]

Why don't you go watch Arena football you sissy? This is a real game where real men need to brave all conditions. Nothing says 'murica like incomplete passes, 50 running plays for 100 yards total, and sloppy conditions.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. The Super Bowl should be rotated between the California and Florida stadiums (except Jacksonville), mix in New Orleans and Arizona occasionally and if you want a cold weather city to do the Super Bowl, make sure they have a roof on their like Indianapolis. But I'm pretty sure I heard Goodell say he wanted the Super Bowl in NY to have a championship game in winter elements. And of course if you spend a billion dollars on your stadium like Jerry Jones did that's probably worth a Super Bowl hosting. So, warm weather coastal cities, New Orleans, Arizona, Indy for cold weather and brand new stadiums only. Seems like a solid rotation.

AT&T stadium is in Arlington, not Dallas. The Super Bowl in 2011 was in Arlington. Just sayin.

NY is probably going to pull a ton of money for the NFL, which is what they're really concerned about.
