Daniel L. Spuck is agitated.
The Pennsylvania man has filed a motion against the NFL to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania for "a temporary emergency injunction" on the playoffs based on his belief that the San Diego Chargers don't belong there, per The Baltimore Sun.
Spuck is fumed over a controversial missed call in San Diego's Week 17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Officials in that game failed to call the Chargers for an illegal formation by the defense on a 41-yard missed field goal attempt by K.C. with eight seconds remaining. Had the call been made, Chiefs kicker Ryan Succop would have lined up for a 36-yard attempt.
Instead, the Bolts moved on, bumping the Pittsburgh Steelers from the playoff chase.
Spuck filed the motion before the postseason, with instructions for the league to "suspend the playoffs for a week to 10 days, allow Succop to re-kick the field goal, or let the Steelers play the Chargers at a neutral site to determine who plays on," according to The Sun.

I've got the Saints + 7; the Colts + 7; NE +3. Misstated my wagers: San Diego +7, not Colts. Missed the Saints though not by much, but NE was a nice win.

Here's my prediction with actual scoring summary.
Denver will make some mistakes in the 1st quarter which will result in field goals. New England will make worse mistakes though. The second half will result in Manning running a lot which will result in some 4th downs, but New England will be held to some field goals at which point the clock will be running low and the deficit will be great.
The NFC Championship game will be a shocker. Colin Kappernick will gain about 160 to 210 yards rushing like he did in the GB game last year. This will totally rattle Seattle. Seattle fans will be crying more tear drops than rain accumulation in Seattle.
After the game, Colin Kapernick will try to act like a hotdog by wearing those expensive earphones whilst Seattle fans throw things; like in that commercial.
Between or during the games, I better not go into that.

Manning may have another bad playoff game, but I'm thinking that he'll do enough to propel Denver to victory on Sunday. NE's secondary is beat up and their defense is not the defense Peyton played against when he was with the Colts.
As tough as Seattle has been at home, I think SF is on a roll. They seem like a different offense with Crabtree healthy. They have many weapons: the feet of their agile QB, the power of Gore, and the three-headed receiving monster of Crabtree, Vernon Davis, and Boldin.
I think it will be Super Bowl rematch of Denver vs. SF.

That's pretty cool Klydon.
I remember that game because of the drubbing Denver took. That was back when Elway had no running game. I believe that was Bill Walsh's last Super Bowl. It was also a back-to-back title for the 49ers, after having won on a 92 yard drive in the last minute the previous year. Bill Walsh's final Super Bowl was the 92 yard drive one. The 55-10 one which was next year was George Seifert. What's odd though was that the following year would be the closest Super Bowl after the most deficit Super Bowl.

For some reason I was thinking that Seifert only won the ring in 1994 against SD, but you are correct. It's not possible to go out on a higher winning note than how Walsh exited. Funny how he beat Cincinnati twice. The first game in 1981 was a close finish, but SF jumped to a 20-0 halftime lead. I remember an impressive 4th down goal line stand the Niners had in the first half, but Kenny Anderson leading the Bengals back in the 2nd half. That also was the first season of Cincinnati's uniform and helmet change with the tiger stripes. Previous to that, their helmets said "Bengals" and were very bland. *************** The conference championship games were pretty good to watch. I thought SF gave the game away more than Seattle won it. The Seahawks have a tough defense, but will have a much tougher test with Peyton Manning and the Denver receivers. If the game is close and relies upon the QBs to win it, Manning has a huge edge over Russell Wilson. Denver should play to stop the RB Lynch and dare Wilson to beat them through the air.

You may have confused Seifert in '95 with Steve Young, who won his first and only SB against the Chargers. The Sea/SF game showed that Kaepernick and Wilson, while promising, are not in the elite bracket of qbs and have quite a way to go. Kaepernick kept the team in it with his legs early, but in the fourth quarter when the game had to be won with his arm he threw two picks and fumbled twice. It seems that he is too eager to run and doesn't see the field well yet. I was disappointed in Wilson, who had two bad hand-off exchanges in the 4th quarter, one of which led to a fumble at the goal line. He also dropped the ball once for no reason and was shockingly careless on the first play from scrimmage when he had the ball stripped after having much time to make a play. His inability to eat the clock or come away with a td after Kaepernick's blunders allowed SF ample time to drive down the field to win the game. If he had done this against Denver, Manning would certainly have made him pay dearly.

Around every Super Bowl I usually make some meals or snacks that represent the cities or regions of the teams playing. I thought long and hard about Denver and Seattle and came up with some decent options, but then figured that as these teams are from the only NFL cities in the only two states of the country that have legalized marijuana, the best thing to do is to smoke weed during the game.
In an unrelated oddity, every Super Bowl has had at least one player on the roster of one of the teams who had played in the Big 33 Game. This game is played every summer between 33 of the best PA high school senior grads against 33 from another state (MD,TX or OH). This year marks the first time where a roster doesn't include a Big 33 vet.
Finally, the Super Bowl has inspired Bud Bowl, Puppy Bowl and Kitty Bowl. This year the Nat. Geo. channel brings you guppy bowl. During the Super Bowl they will air continuous coverage of a large fish tank with an assortment of fish floating. This will be the only bowl where the competitors, who ultimately rise to the top, will be the clear losers.
