NFL Playoffs

"Super Bowl hype is always exhausting and overdone, but I must admit, I was astounded at how quickly people started complaining about the HarBowl storyline. John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens had not even finished beating the Patriots, to set up a matchup with Jim's San Francisco 49ers, when I saw tweets and Facebook posts complaining about the Harbaugh hype.

Do you realize how amazing this is? These guys shared a room together as kids, competed against each other in everything, and now they are coaching against each other in the Super Bowl.

That's one of the most incredible sports stories I've ever seen. Are we so in love with our own snark that we can't appreciate it?"

'Even if Ray Lewis did use deer antler spray his body would have never absorbed the banned substance its manufacturer says gives the product its potency, a Johns Hopkins professor said.

Dr. Roberto Salvatori, who runs a lab studying growth hormone deficiency and has been on the Hopkins faculty since 1998, said there is no scientifically accepted way to deliver IGF-1 orally.

?If there were, a lot of people would be happy that they don?t need to get shots anymore,? he said. ?It?s just simply not possible for it to come from a spray.?'

Exactly.  And why in the hell are people even paying attention to this "doctor".  It's ridiculous.

well this thread is fun.

SF is gonna stomp baltimore, so get your fun in now Ravens fans.

Keep calling for a Ravens loss.  You're bound to be right one day.

this is the first time i've called for a ravens loss? i just think SF is way too good of a team. kaepernick plays way too fast for baltimore's smash-mouth defense.
