Seattle scored TD's passing, rushing, had an interception returned for a TD, and a kickoff returned for a TD.

You forgot to mention the fastest-ever Super Bowl score on opening play..

Seahawks get fastest-ever Super Bowl score on opening-play safety - CBSSports.com

Seattle scored without even touching the ball! lol Yes.. it was a "WTF?" moment for many... The expression on Manning's face in slow motion was amusing.

Yes, his expression of befuddlement on the safety was amusing. However, I personally thought that Manning's face on the interception he threw, you know the one that was returned for a TD, was an equally priceless expression: eyes FIRMLY CLOSED, he hauled back and threw that pass downfield utterly,totally,completely BLINDLY...I mean, MAN, they replayed that like three times...Manning, eyes totally CLOSED, throwing in the "general vicinity" of a receiver, and a Seattle defender... OMG, now that was a slow-motion expression I shall always remember...

I told my friend this morning that Denver basically gift wrapped the game and gave it to Seattle! That was a "why bother to watch" game. So pathetic.

It was not a gift wrap from Denver. The best team won by kicking some ass. Seattle took that game!!!!!!!!!!! There was only one reason Peyton had a bad game and that was the Seahawk defense. Peyton had his eyes closed on nearly every passing attempt because guys were in his face.

I loved it

- Now Denver fans have the most losses in a SB. That one was a doozie.

I am also a Peyton fan, but I can't stand Denver because I am a Chiefs fan

Weird thing is Seattle used to be in the AFC West Division battling the Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders and Broncos.

OKay, was it just me, or was John Elway sort of subtly shaking his head in disbelief and disgust when the camera showed him high up in the private suites when it was like 29-0? I mean, it looked to me like Elway's body language was showing that very sublte, slow, gentle side-to-side head movement that conveys a serious "I can't ****** BELIEVE we're getting whipped this badly!" kind of emotional state. Did anybody else get that vibe? His face was not visible, but that was the vibe I got from that shot of him.

I felt it also. Reminded me of the vibe he had when Tebow was being chanted.

I'm guessing that is exactly what Elway was thinking, they loaded up for this. And they knew by doing so they would have cap problems in the near future. Look for big changes in Denver for 2014.

I just call 'em as I see 'em. :lol:

And I didn't really watch the entire game because I don't really follow football...unless the Philadelphia Eagles actually manage to have a good season and that's rare. :lol:

I couldn't tell you that, because I gave up in total disgust and boredom. Another SB where a team simply dominates, and while it's great for the supporting fans, it's just terrible football. You got the idea nothing was going to change when the Broncos hadn't even had a first down by the 2nd qtr. Sucky football is no fun, even if it is the last game of the year. Checked the score later and was glad I'd found something else to do. I was hoping - and expecting - a more competitive game. blah!

Injuries seemed rampant throughout the league this year, and lots of teams played poorly. Not a good season of pro football, that's for sure!

I haven't seen a horse slaughtered that bad since "The Godfather". Peyton Manning should retire in shame. I don't care how good a defense is. When you're paid $17 mil and lead your team through a record setting season, you need to perform better.

Bruno Mars; never really paid much attention to him, but I thoroughly enjoyed his performance. Red Hot Chili Peppers? I didn't even know they were still together. They're pretty irrelevant right now; they haven't released an album in three years, and their schtick is old and tired.

As to the commercials: I liked the Bud Light commercial with Ian Rappaport (the one with Arnold Schwarzenneger). My friend's daughter knows him, and she attests to his being the same likeable guy you saw in the commercial. The Budweiser commercial with the puppy was cute. I liked the Go Daddy commercial: "She just quit her job in front of 100,000,000 people"...
