Alex Smith had a great game, by the way.

That doesn't work on me. I hate the 49ers.

Kap played a hell of a game. Flacco did too. But Kap looks special.

In the entire world only a few Utefans think that Alex Smith is better. They're embarassing the rest of us.

All I have to say is that tonight I looked past all of the rivalry crap and forgot which players played where. All I saw on the field were men who hold the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God helping Ray Lewis believe that God really is on his side and that He has forgiven him for what happened in Atlanta all those years ago. Congrats to Haloti, Gnata, Ma'ake, and Dennis!

It's actually Ngata. I'm a 9ers fan but I like Maoris.

[il Padrino Ute]

And half your coaching staff.

Close, but they were Utah guys during those games.

why did I ever learn Italian? and it should have been Paul, not Ngata. Oh well.

I don't have a dog in this fight, because I dislike both teams about the same, but that was holding on that last 9ers play in the end zone.

But, I guess we gotta send Ray Ray out the right way, just like we did Bettis.

I think the defender let go of the receiver just in time so it had to be a no call in that situation. The timing was awesome. One of the best defensive plays I've ever seen. It's one reason I miss watching the NBA. Sometimes it's nice to see it done to absolute perfection.

I saw that but figured you were so excited about the Raven's win.

Even as a Niners fan, I think it was probably a good non-call. I agree that had he released even a couple tenths of a second later, it gets the flag, but in that situation it was just a great play. There were a couple other questionable calls or noncalls, but in the end I have to tip my cap to the Ravens' defense. Baltimore deserved the win.

I have to think the NFL is going to schedule these teams fairly early on next season.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I was sort of cheering for the Ravens, but everyone else at our house was all-in for the Niners. My son's friend took it really hard. I am thinking we might want to put him on suicide watch tonight.

I've been wondering if older brothers who grew up in male sibling rivalry situations trended more toward cheering for the Ravens. Could be a good subject for a dissertation.

I'm a younger brother, but I provincialism trumps birth order when it comes to my preference in this game. Despite sadness at my team's first Super Bowl loss, one has to feel a bit of gladness for the big brother winning this one. After all, Jim beat out his older brother for the starting QB spot in high school (John was a senior, Jim was a soph) and throughout their lives has had the more stellar career, at least until now.

Yes, this was a great Super Bowl for all lovers of irony. Jim has definitely been the fair haired child. It reminds me of George W. and Jeb.

[MarkGrace]

My reasons for pulling for the Ravens tonight.

1. Pitta
2. My auntie and uncle are Ravens season tickets holders and were at the game
3. The older Harbaugh is less douchey

That was pretty much it.

[The_Douger]

I like the Ravens coach better, but I can't stand the Ray Lewis show. I'm glad I haven't watched one minute of the post game crap, becuase that dude bugs me to no end.
