I feel badly for Manning. Everything that people criticize him for was confirmed last night. For some reason he cannot close when the pressure is on. Just happening too many times to this guy. I don't get it because he is extremely talented and knows the game in and out.

Apparently the Seahawks were able to find a "tell" from Manning... at least that’s what this article says... sure looked like it last night.

Did anyone see Mark Cuban's tweet that he turned a $20 bet into $20M last night - betting on a safety on the first play of the game...

There's nothing wrong with that. He gambled with his "own money" and got a hefty prize for doing so. I applaud him.

This story exemplifies what Manning is all about, even after the terrible loss, he was genuinely concerned about Richard Sherman. Classy guy

Y! SPORTS

Yes it's simple. Hit him enough and he folds like a er noodle. This tell seems to effect most QBs

I'm not surprised by who won the game, but I am surprised by the their sheer dominance of it. Sheesh! It was painful to watch! Was that the most lopsided Superbowl game ever, or what?

In score - no but in play - yeah possibly.

It was a team that nobody bet on or gave any credit to coming together as one at the right time and beat the Number 1 offense in the league. Like they say... On any given Sunday and this was Seattle's Sunday. Great job to all of the team and Pete Carroll. The only thing is I thought Russell Wilson should have gotten MVP.

Nobody gave any credit to? LOL! The line was 2 points before the game in favor of Denver...that means MOST people gave Seattle the credit of being a legitimate contender. I'm literally so humored by people thinking Seattle was this incredible underdog...they were barely even underdogs at all, and they won a game that they should have, since defensive teams now own the super bowl in this scenario 4 games out of 5.

We were both wrong...5 games out of 6 now. I think I was hearing the previous record and thought it was after the game was over...

Seattle's Super Bowl dominance could mean NFL emphasis switches back to defense - ESPN

Interestingly, it looks like Demaryius Thomas was playing from the first quarter with a separated shoulder...that had to hurt, lol.

He seemed like he was one of the only Broncos players that really didn't give up and just go through the motions towards the end. I have a lot more respect for him after finding out that he played through an injury like that. Way to go DT!

The NFL went absolutely nuts over the last few days...lol!

DeMarcus Ware, Denver Broncos agree to $30 million deal - ESPN
Steve Smith finished with Carolina Panthers, agent says - ESPN (apparently going to the Bucs)
Golden Tate, Detroit Lions agree to five-year deal - ESPN
Darren Sproles of New Orleans Saints says he wants to be released - ESPN

...and that's just a few! LOL! Dude...ABANDON SHIP!

This will help the Eagles tremendously...

I love this move, even though Sproles is older. Having him, Shady and Brown in the backfield could be amazing. Our offense looks good...I hope Cooper can have another good year (even though I think they overpaid him), and I hope Maclin comes back strong. There are rumors swirling that the Birds may be looking to trade Jackson, but I don't see that happening.

We still need to bump up our defense though.

Denver, on the other hand, really focused on their defense. They will be very strong this year.

All I heard is the Russell Wilson said he wanted to own a team someday, for sure I thought he already owned the 49ers?
