    As do I.

    I suspected that this might only be because this is the uniform that I grew up with as a fan, so I'm glad to see that an independent party agrees with me purely on aesthetic grounds.

    I have a feeling you will like the GIANTS color rush uniforms then...

    ^ It looks good. I really don't like these garish colors that some teams are using. It's just a way to get people to spend more money on merch.

    May as well wear a blue helmet with the word Giants on it in big white letters

    Well, yeah. The NFL doesn't do anything that isn't driven by money/profit.

    ^

    The 49ers were a significantly better team that year.

    If the NFL really wanted to fix the Super Bowl in their favor so that they would win, they easily could have.

    I was hoping the Seahawks would just stick to their Wolf Gray unis. They had an alternative Neon Green jersey a few years back and fans hated it.

    Sorry, Ed. Let me try that again:

    They just didn't want a blowout and lose viewer ratings.

    The No Fun League needs to add a diving penalty. Especially for D-lineman faking holding penalties. This "game' is turning into the other football as far as drama queens are concerned. BTW the Bills defense still sucks.

    I'm sitting here rooting for the Jets, and then I find out upon checking that I picked Buffalo.

    WTF was I thinking?

    I just watched the Cheese postpone the Cubs celebration only because I completely forgot about NYJ/BUF.

    To be fair, the Bills defense is missing numerous stars right now to injury. I wanted to pick the Jets for a knockout pool, but didn't have the guts to pull the trigger - they're on the road and haven't beaten the Bills since September of 2013.

    Massive respect to Mr Robinson for not taking the whiny bitch approach! Nice to see someone man up and not take the easy out!
