    OK, so we know you can bet on literally everything connected to the Super Bowl tomorrow (or today, I guess). Never mind betting the winner of the coin flip...apparently, you can even do two-sport parlays or some shit where you guess who will score more points: Gilbert Arenas or the Bears.

    But no one's ever figured out a way to bet on SportsJournalists.com during the Super Bowl...TIL NOW!!! :D

    As always, Super Bowl Sunday will be one of the heaviest posting days of the year at SportsJournalists.com. Whether we're reclining in our living rooms, working the desk, surfing the laptop at a friend's house, jerking off as one gazes into his weightlifting trophy case or, in rare cases, WORKING THE GAME, we all feel the insatiable desire to share our running thoughts on the game with six thousand-plus of our closest Internet friends. So here, for your gambling pleasure, are a few over/under bets regarding Super Bowl Sunday at SportsJournalists.com!!!***

    At least this year I won't almost get banned like I did last year when I said something to the effect of I wanted everyone in Pittsburgh to die. Moddy really didn't like that one.

    That is true. But I expect to actually eat before I start drinking this year. Plus, it isn't at my house, so I have to get home somehow. Apparently it would not be a good idea for me to consume 19 beers on an empty stomach like last year and then attempt to drive.
    Also, I have to give you the ultimate props for this thread. Excellent idea.

    I will not express my love of Peyton that many times. IJAG and I together might though.

    You are the closest thing to Rainman this board has.

    True idiot savant.

    Well, I appreciate the compliment, but so far you're the only one who likes it. :D

    Plus, an SportsJournalists.commer is coming here tomorrow and I figure it'll be funny when the rest of the crowd looks at us funny when he asks "So who's winning your over/under poll?"
