>The temple of boom. At first I took that lightly as fandom gone wild No longer. Richard Sherman is so good that other teams don't even throw at him. He complains about the lack of action but should take it as a show of respect that half the field is out of bounds. These guys are beyond shutdown. You just do not go deep against the Seahawks. I cannot speak with authority but I think this is the best defensive secondary in league history. If you are a fan at all, or even if you just watch the Super Bowl, enjoy watching them. In any walk of life it is a pleasure watching the best of the best.

>NFL DBs are among the fastest people on the planet. They can run the length of a football field at about a meter a second. Wide receivers are sometimes about as fast. It gets a little Darwinian. The Patriots don't have an offense that is very good at going deep anyway so Brady will be dumping it short.

I'm considering boycotting the game this year. I watched a special on PBS Frontline last night about concussions in the NFL, and how the NFL has (or has not) dealt with the problem. It was utterly appalling. Throw in the Patriots cheating too and I'm pretty disillusioned with the whole NFL at the moment. ..and to top it all off..despite my vigorous multi-year letter-writing campaign, they STILL do not show the cheerleaders enough on TV during the games!
