junebugz Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I don't mind the two weeks personally. I think the teams (due to all the required media coverage) need the two weeks to prepare and do all the interviews etc. It's a hugh event...why not live in the moment for those two weeks and enjoy the ride. You worked the whole season to get there, and some over 30 years...I say sit back enjoy the two weeks and when you get tired of the media turn your tv off or to a different channel. For me I am going to soak up all the media coverage I can get to see my Hawks during this INCREDIBLE event. GOING TO DETROIT!!! 1284979[/snapback] I agree, plus it most likely gives the hosting city more time to soak up all the $$$$ that they are hoping for and people extra time to make travel plans, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 If you look at past results since SB XV or so you'll notice that there are numerous blowouts until SB XXV - the Norwood wide right finish. Off the top of my head that was the first 1 week gap I could remember. They've done the 1 week thing over the past few years - since 1999? - and it resulted in probably the best run of exciting games we might ever see. 2 weeks seems to allow one of the teams to vaporlock and crumble under the pressure. Then again, maybe it was just the Bills and Reeves Led Broncos (with the exception of XXV) oh yeah and the Stan Humphries Chargers sucking wind...... 1284722[/snapback] The Steelers apologize for the Stan Humphries debacle. The Steelers choked worse in that game against the Chargers in the AFC Championship game than any in their history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piranha Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 1 week. too much media hype for two weeks. It's not like we're gonna forget when it's on and who's playing. just play it. 1284922[/snapback] Exactly. I never liked waiting 2 weeks.

Menudo Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Last sunday when S Alexander ran around the track with the trophy reporters were all over him. They couldn't just let him and the fans enjoy the moment. There are way too many reporters in this country and most of them don't do a good job, but come on that was ridiculous. I voted 1 week. Forget the SB crap. Get on with the game. 1284819[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 And I thought this actually might be a Menudo post with no reference to Bettis or Big Ben, but he just couldn't help himself and dropped 'em in real subtle like. 1284900[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 What about the INT throwen to Larry Brown? 1285017[/snapback] The Cowboys were favored in that Super Bowl. The Steelers were heavily favored in the Chargers debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I like one week. However, I remember reading that some players complained about one week because they are inundated with requests from family and friends and one week didn't give them time to make appropriate arrangements for their entourage. Sounded like a silly complaint to me. You make enough money - hire a friggin travel agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I guess it allows for players to get healthy and such - but at this point of the season - I am looking to get an extra day back on the weekends - and thusly want the Superbowl to come ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I voted for 1 week as a presonal preference, but I think the strongest case for 2 weeks can be made from a coaching standpoint... it's the biggest game of their lives, and it would be nice to have an extra few days to go over your opponent's strengths and weaknesses and come up with your best possible game plan for the big show.

Buffalo Wings Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Usually I prefer 1 week, but this year, having 2 weeks works out perfect. I will be travelling this weekend and will be on the road Sunday evening. Also this allows me to host my SB party, which I wouldn't have been able to do this weekend.

I know it was lose the tradition of "Super Bowl Sunday", but so many people have parties, and then have to deal with work the next day. This would solve that problem for many, and the parties would be bigger, better, and longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
