the team you DO NOT want to win SB 40 (1 Viewer)

[el centro]

I voted for Denver. I'm personally routing for Seattle... if not, I don't have a lot of interest. Not much of a Carolina fan, but I do like Delhomme. I've always been a non-Steelers fan most of my life... in order of most hated, it went:1. Dallas2. Oakland3. PittsburghAs an adult, I've grown out of this - also thanks in part to Free-Agency. I wouldn't mind seeing the Bus, Hines & Big-Ben win the big game. But I really don't like any of the Denver's players, and I really am not a fan of Shanny's! Therefore - routing AGAINST Denver.

Peyton and the Colts went down so I'm good with anyone winning.

And I don't get what rules Shanahan has played fast and loose with?

Did you miss the matter of the 3rd round pick forfeited for cheating on the cap?

Pat Bowlen couldn't pay several players' existing salaries as well as the cost of building the new stadium, so he paid them a year or two later and added interest. None of it had absolutely anything to do with Shanahan, who wasn't even in the loop on the decision. It also wasn't really cheating, because Bowlen took existing salaries. It's not like players signed on the assumption that they'd be getting more money than their salary indicated.I understand, it was against the rules, and Denver forfeited a 3rd rounder as a result. But again, Shanahan had nothing to do with it.

Fair enough. I figured MS to be a guy who was totally in the loop, but I have not been able to find anything that establishes something other than what you say. Bowlen is still a part of the organization, and it still shows that it goes all the way to the top.

Haha, fair enough. I don't mind criticisms of my Broncos, as long as I think they're FAIR criticisms. Call our owner a cheater (or a cheapskate), call our former OLB, OG, or SS "dirty" and say they play with intent to injure... just don't tell me our HC plays fast and loose with the rules!

 

[Sinrman]

I went with Denver, too. I'd like a team that hasn't won one in awhile...

 

[My Hope Street Alias]

I don't really dislike any of the remaining teams. If pressed, I'd say the Steelers just so the big-mouthed, should-have-been-fined moron that is Joey Porter doesn't get a ring.

fixed.

Why, for speaking what could possibly be the truth? I really hope not on many levels. Number one, it would really be sad if the refs were trying to give Manning an edge and he's still so bad under pressure he couldn't win.
