Taking a team with all the tools to have been a star caliber team before he got there, and solidifying their place at the top amongst the rest of the NFL. I like the 9ers and now I'm a believer of Collin Kaepernick.

Congrats Exo

The 9ers held that **** together. Great comeback and stop at the end. ****ing Pats ruined my prediction. Tom Slick **** the bed, The Ravens D held up and they might be a better match for the 9ers then most think. Should be a great matchup.

Yeah, I lost a dollar on that game. If the Ravens take the SB, it'd be one sweet victory, but I doubt it. Still gonna be great to watch.

Should be a great game. Both teams are seemingly matched up very well. I like the 9ers to take it because they have been on a really good roll. I wouldn't mind it if Baltimore wins I like their team makeup, lots of heart in that lineup. Ngata is an absolute mad man.

Yeah I was hoping the Pats would make it myself and suprisingly they didn't. I'll be honest I thought the Patriots would dominate that game. Predicting playoff games is always a bitch but I honestly thought that was a sure thing. I guess Brady and Belichick have lost something when it comes to the post season they use to have. They just cant seem to make it over that hump, and maybe the Ravens deserve a lil credit here for how they executed.

At any rate I'm rootin for San Fran in the big bowl game but if the Ravens win then so be it.

I'm rooting for my niners to take the bowl but I don't think I'm going to bet on it like I did with that Pats game.

I got 500 bucks off of the Pats game.

I don't know anyone who bet the Ravens to win. Good call for sure.

Funny how after the fact some folks knew what team was going to win all along.

I never know who is going to win. I play fantasy football but never bet on game outcomes. You can have better players, coaches, talent, and still come away with a loss if the other team wants it more. I didn't know my niners were going to get to the big game, but I knew they were capable of getting there. I was eating a burger today in some random joint and they had Sportscenter on and some other dudes were talking about how the 49ers are the most fun to watch and that they deserve to win. I didn't chime in, just ate my burger, but I had a wonderful feeling the rest of the day. I've been a 49er fan in NJ all my life and I finally get to see them in the big game. I'm like a proud sappy father watching his kid play the ****ing clarinet in the fourth grade holiday musical. It's been a great week.

I think if you watch football enough you can get a pretty good grasp on who is going to win. Of course the upsets happen but still, you can sometimes even predict that if you pay close enough attention. Not always about who's hot but as you say who is playin with passion and on the brink. The Cowboys are a prime example of having all the talent and thinking just cause they wear the star on their helmet they have already won the game.

He has never stated what happened to his white suit during the night of the event. Also read that his tears during his celebrations are fake
