Oremus Pro Invicem Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 People might not like the Seahawks (which is funny at this point, because in Seattle they were our loveable losers for decades), Seahawks rule! I made these for my friends who accuse me of being a bandwagon fan.
Cherie Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Yes, I concur that the Patriots would have won anyway, without deflated footballs (possibly) involved. God bless Russell Wilson. He's a good man who has been through the wringer in his personal life.
PhuturePriest Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 I like the Colts. I actually rooted for them when they went up against the Patriots. However, they really lost their zest and skill when Manning left. You always had the sense that he was the glue holding everything together, and that was proven by how they've performed.
Amppax Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I am most certainly going to be cheering for the Seahawks. As much as I dislike Pete Carroll (speaking of cheaters), I dislike Belichick even more. I've always disliked the Patriots, and always will. Although I was going to root for the Packers if they made it.

Basilisa Marie Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Well, I'm still in a bitter rage about the Packers handing the game to the Seahawks, and the Seahawks seem to attract the most obnoxious and classless people lately (not speaking about you guys - I live in Washington). But I think my distaste for the Patriots outweighs my disdain for Seahawks bandwagoner fans. Possibly. Mostly I'm just going to watch the game for the commercials, or maybe skip it entirely and spend the day helping our youth minister with Confirmation, since the diocese chose Super Bowl Sunday for us. The mere fact that someone became pregnant is not a good reason to marry them. Priests tend to advise against such weddings. Yep! It's grounds for an annulment! But I do wish there was more societal pressure on men to step up and support the children they father.
Basilisa Marie Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Oh, and re: the deflated balls... Come on, it's not like it would have made a difference anyway. It's a non-story.
Nihil Obstat Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Societal pressure that could, in itself impede his free will in contracting the marriage? :|
Basilisa Marie Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Societal pressure that could, in itself impede his free will in contracting the marriage? :| No, I mean supporting the kids you make and being an active positive influence in their lives, not marrying their mom and calling it good.
Ash Wednesday Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Seahawks rule! I made these for my friends who accuse me of being a bandwagon fan. I can't prop these enough. You also need to do one with Cortez Kennedy.
Ice_nine Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Wow I can't ever be friends with any of you. If the pats win I'm going to come back here and gloat at all you haters. Probably with t-swift gifs. If they lose I'll just gorge myself on superbowl foodstuffs and try to blot out my memory with a sodium/sugar coma.

I think this is one of those rare occasions where you and I are wholly united in a cause.
Makarioi Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 It was cold. Things deflate when it's cold............
Maggyie Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I'm all about marrying the mother and if necessary calling it good.... At least when the alternative is Giselle.
Lilllabettt Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) you know, presumably if you're a "good guy," you're not out sleeping with a woman with no respect to her as a person. Presumably even if you don't love her you at least know her and appreciate her, as a person. Maybe you had no plans to marry her. But then you make a baby. So guess what? Strong, holy marriages have been built on shakier foundations than that. Marriage don't need money. Marriage don't need loving feelings. Marriage don't need compatibility. Marriage needs two people who know what marriage is and are committed to it and the family they have made. For some people its more of a sacrifice than a balm. So be it. that said. maybe Tom Brady offered and she wouldn't have him. Fine. Lol @ the idea that society making a frowny face would constrain the free will of a man to the extent that it invalidates his marriage. Such a man would be the definition of a wet noodle. I'm not talking about the barrel of an actual gun pressing against his spine, I mean society making a frowny face. Lol. Edited January 21, 2015 by Lilllabettt
Basilisa Marie Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I'm all about marrying the mother and if necessary calling it good.... At least when the alternative is Giselle. Now that I think about it, it seems like Benedict Cumberbatch may have gotten engaged to his (lovely and talented) fiance because he got her pregnant. They'd been good friends for a while, but it seems like it's not out of the question that pregnancy encouraged them to make it permanent. But most of the time, it seems like I hear from more people (ones who aren't ridiculously rich and famous) that people who rush into marriage because there's a pregnancy end up regretting it. Whether it's the kids having to deal with fighting parents or spouses eventually getting a divorce.
Ash Wednesday Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I used to not like Tom Brady, but now I don't have much of an opinion of him. Which is a step forward. I figure that I don't actually know the guy so I'm not going to malign his character. I prefer to focus on what I love!
Amppax Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Back to deflategate, 11 out of the 12 balls were deflated, about 2 psi under the requirement. No, it didn't affect this game, but yes, if the Patriots did it intentionally, it's a clear violation of the rules. From what I've heard, they could lose their draft picks over this.
