The superbowl is almost here. Is anyone looking forward to it. Any game predictions. I think SF will win.

Mods, should this be moved to "Sports"?

Well, it is off-topic, but it has its own sub-board under Off-Topic.  :pan:
BTW, welcome.

Well, that power outage was interesting.  Definitely helped the 49ers.  Their comeback almost made them win.

I love how everyone assumes it was the power outage that helped the 49ers play better...

I thought it was a nice touch for the NFL to bring back the replacement refs to officiate the game.

I think it helped.  The Ravens lost their momentum they had during -- Flacco was down for 84 minutes.

Doesn't matter on holding calls.

Or the Ravens would have fizzled and the 49ers picked up their gave either way..

As a Niners fan, I'll admit that they weren't calling much of anything all day long. Just because that one non-call happened to particularly be the death knell for the Niners makes it stand out more, but it's no more egregious than some of the others that went both ways. The important thing is that the refs were consistent in terms of a hands-off approach.

As a Ravens (and Landover Redskins) fan, I am very appreciative that Colin Kaepernick does not play on a team in the AFC North or the NFC East.

That guy is scary good now, and he's only going to get better.
