This game has not changed my stance. I still want the Ravens to win the Super Bowl.

But that means a Harbowl.

Blegh. After the handshake incident in 2011, I can't stand Jim Harbaugh, at least. The other Harbaugh, I have no opinion on.

But if the Patriots win, I'm going to bite the bullet and cheer for them to win the Super Bowl, because sports-wise, the San Francisco Bay Area is as spoiled as pigs in mud at the present. They have two good baseball teams (one of which won the World Series this year), a great football team, a good hockey team, and even their basketball team is pretty good now. Frankly, I'm incredibly jealous. Detroit will never be like that.

I want the Ravens to win so bad now. Patriots loss + Harbowl = 2nd best thing besides Bucs winning the Superbowl (which won't happen for a while).

[Bolt the Cat]

I live in Baltimore, so I'm hoping for a Ravens win. Plus, a Harbaugh Bowl would be interesting.

I'm cheering for the Patriots. Aaron Hernandez is from Connecticut, my home state. So I really hope they win. I mean, I like the Ravens, but they're up against the Patriots, so I favor the Patriots. Too bad the Redskins didn't make the Superbowl. Me and my father would've been so torn. But let's go Patriots!

Maybe one day we'll have a Ravens-Redskins Super Bowl. RGIII is a good QB if he can stay healthy. A lot of people in the NYC area are hoping for a Giants-Jets Super Bowl next year, but given the recent performance of teams whose stadiums are hosting the Super Bowl in a given year (12 straight seasons without the host team in the playoffs) I doubt it.

Similarly, a lot of Pennsylvanians want to see the Steelers meet the Eagles in the Super Bowl.

When the AFC Championship game is done, I'll post a list of games I think should be on national TV next season, by then the Super Bowl participants will be determined.

I live just north of Maryland, so I know a lot of obnoxious Ravens fans.
I also have a lot of relatives in Connecticut and Massachusetts, so I know some obnoxious Pats fans, too.

Don't care who wins this game, so long as they don't win the Super Bowl. haha

The Giants didn't even make it to the Playoffs this year. Their performance was almost laughable...they definately didn't get their glory this season. Manning wasn't too happy.

[Marceman]

At this point, I guess I'm pulling for the Ravens by default. Can't stand Jim Harbaugh, and a Pats-Niners Superb Owl would be dreadful.

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

Touchdown Ravens!!! And they got the point, so they're ahead by over a TD now.

[FullMetalAlchemist]

The Giants didn't even make it to the Playoffs this year. Their performance was almost laughable...they definately didn't get their glory this season. Manning wasn't too happy.

Well, the Giants played as well as they did last year in the regular season (9-7 both years), this time their 9-7 record wasn't enough to get into the playoffs.

[Lucario95]

Well, it seems that the harbowl will happen.

[Sid87]

Blech. Time to watch the media gush over Ray Lewis and the Harbaughs.

[Penguinist Trainer]

I am so disappointed in my Patriots right now. My birthday is SuperBowl Sunday and I was so excited that my team was in the final four. I'm actually not looking forward to my birthday anymore.

[sceptile33]

Glad to see the Patriots aren't in the Superbowl again. I got exactly what I was hoping for last year.

[FullMetalAlchemist]

Doesn't look like I will be watching the Super Bowl this year except for the halftime show which features Beyonce. Both the teams I wanted to win today lost. I know missing the Super Bowl is an un-American activity, but I'd rather be un-American than watch 2 teams I dislike right now duke it out.

I'll get my national TV projections up later.

Apologies, but I'm pretty stoked they lost. Not that I'm especially happy that it means the Ravens won, but eh, lesser of two evils and all that.

I changed my mind and am pulling for the 49ers to win the Super Bowl. I wanna see Ray Lewis cry some more, and for Terrell Suggs to shut the **** up.

[Golden_Latias]

So we get a Harbowl. Fair enough.

I'm cheering for the Ravens, because as I said earlier, after the handshake incident between Schwartz and Jim Harbaugh, I can't stand Jim Harbaugh.

That, and other Lions "fans" I've seen seem to love Jim Harbaugh. They often bring him up as an example of why Jim Schwartz is a terrible coach (basically, because he didn't do what Jim Harbaugh did and turn the Lions into a playoff team immediately; nobody could have turned the Lions into a playoff team in one year after '08 lol). So I want the Ravens to win to spite my fellow Lions fans and show them that Jim Harbaugh isn't some miracle worker of a coach.

[FullMetalAlchemist]

Remember that the 49ers have never lost a Super Bowl. To be fair neither have the Ravens. But the 49ers have more appearances and thus more experience playing in Super Bowls. Again to be fair, no one on their 1994 championship team is in the NFL today, they're mostly in their 40s or 50s now.

[Lucario95]

I don't know but 49ers will win this time, and equalize the steelers.

[SapphireBlueEyes7799]

Really not looking forward to the superbowl, except for Halftime. But I guess I'll cbeer for the 49ers. Raven's are being really dramatic. Isn't it like, Ray Lewis' last season or something? Bring more tears Ray. We just love them!
