Seahawks vs Broncos, Super Bowl XLVIII Sunday February 2, 2014

The Broncos will meet the Seahawks in New Jersey for Super Bowl XLVIII, and New yorkers & Jersey people had a lot to say about who would win. While some NFL fans were eager to get their picks out there for who will win the match up, others were hating on Richard Sherman’s post-game interview, while still others were making comments about weed.

The Broncos beat the Patriots on Sunday afternoon, while the Seahawks beat the 49ers in the evening. Shortly after the final game, the Broncos congratulated the Seahawks in a classy way, welcoming them into the Super Bowl.

Other football fans were also in a congratulatory mood and looking forward to the match up.

Then there were the fans who were less than thrilled, or even a bit confused, by Richard Sherman’s post-game interview, in which he declared himself the best corner back in the game.

Finally, there were the fans who alluded to the legalization of recreational marijuana and this year’s Super Bowl teams. Colorado and Washington both legalized weed through a popular vote in the 2012 election. While Colorado’s sales began this month, Washington’s will start later this year.

And, well, then there was this guy, who was either extremely confused or trying to make a joke. We’re not sure.
