ESPN PRESENTS: SUPERB OWL FOURTY EIGHT

With all the events that have led up to this game or whatever on Sunday, I have tasked myself to figure out what would make the best game for SportsCenter's sake.

PREGAME:

This would actually start tonight. What happens is Morten Andersen makes it into the hall of fame, Peyton wins the offensive MVP, and Richard Sherman wins the defensive MVP (though he plays a similar position on the same team, Earl Thomas winning the defensive MVP wouldn't make as much narrative sense because he didn't have a post-game interview). This means we can hype up the matchup between golden-boy Peyton and Richard Sherman's post-game interview. ESPN can do an interview with Luke Kuechly or Robert Mathis on the noon sportscenter and ask one of them about Sherman and what they thought about his post-game interview. Then, after that, they can bring in a panel of analysts and ask them about the hall-of-fame selections and someone like Merril Hoge (and it'll be Merril Hoge) can talk about how Morten Andersen never got hit and never "really" played football because his skillset didn't involve putting himself in the position for a concussion and involved scoring the most points of anyone on the team. But also he's a foreigner so that's funny and we can make fun of that

COIN TOSS:

Russell wilson says "tails" on the coin toss real quietly and the ref asks him for clarification. Sherman screams "HE SAID TAILS STUPID" and Peyton is taken aback by the lack of Class in this toss of the coin. Also it would be great if it were a New York icon like Jay-Z or Bill Parcells tossing the coin.

FIRST QUARTER:

The Broncos receive the kickoff, and Peyton promptly drives them down the field, connecting with Wes Welker for a touchdown (beating Sherman). Russell Wilson and the Seahawks respond with a long drive for a field goal. The Seahawks capitalize on a Montee Ball fumble and have possession at the end of the first quarter.

7-3 Brancose

SECOND QUARTER:

The Seahawks score on a read-option run by Russell Wilson. On the following Broncos possession, Julius Thomas makes a couple of catches where he kinda boxes out the defenders and jumps to make the catch. Like a power forward would, getting a rebound. He played basketball, you know? He did. They end the drive with a touchdown from Knowshon Moreno (remember he cried that one time). At the end of the half, Russell Wilson heaves a Hail Mary pass to the endzone and it's caught at the same time by both the cornerback and receiver Golden Tate. The officials call it a touchdown, mirroring the "fail mary" from 2012 (remember that happened? They didn't have the regular referees and they said it was a touchdown not an interception. Crazy)

17-14 'Hocks

HALFTIME:

Mirroring the "Wardrobe Malfunction" of ten years ago, Bruno Mars' left testicle falls out of his pants. Roger Goodell calls Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff, inquiring about next year's show.

THIRD QUARTER:

SNOW STARTS FALLING, PUT HARD-WORKER AND CLASS ACT PEYTON MANNING KEEPS THROWING! TOUCHDOWN! WES WELKER! Self-Proclaimed "Best Corner In the Game" Postgame Interview slips and falls on snow, is burnt by the little determined guy who could from Texas Tech who is also sponsored by an adult diaper company

17-21 Bronx

FOURTH QUARTER:

This is where things get interesting. Marshawn Lynch breaks off a long run after breaking a tackle for a touchdown. Demaryius Thomas drops a pass off of a controversially early hit by one of the Seahawks defenders, wearing 25 but I'm not sure what his name is, I think it's Mike Sherman or something, and it's intercepted by Earl Thomas who runs it back for a touchdown. Peyton makes that face he always makes when he throws an interception he doesn't agree with

Yeah that one (ESPN.com)

Seattle's famous "12th Man" is rocking the house at the meadowlands, and they're real excited for their beloved Seahawks to finally win their first Super Bowl. However, the old dog, the old competitor, the future hall of famer, the 1998 number-one overall draft pick, the guy who lost the Heisman to Charles Woodson, the son of former quarterback Archie Manning and brother of current quarterback Eli Manning, Mr. Peyton Manning makes a legendary 82 yard drive, just like his predecessor John Hallway or whatever it was against the Browns, and throws the go-ahead touchdown with 12 seconds left to underrated but hardworking Wes Welker, who, if you didn't remember, wasn't even drafted! What a legend.

But, on the kickoff, the Seahawks run the old "Music City Miracle" play to Golden Tate, who runs with daylight down the left sideline to the Denver 35 before pitching it back to Tavaris Jackson who is in on the play for some reason, who runs it in to the endzone for a touchdown.

Seahawks win, 30-27

POSTGAME:

Erin Andrews, in an interview with Tavaris about the final play, is interrupted by Seattle Cornerback Richard Sherman, who shoves Jackson out of the way and screams the preamble to the constitution, the box-art blurb to"Kazaam," and the entirety of the Adobe Lightroom Suite End User License Agreement into the microphone, dropping "SORRY ASS," "PEYTON," "CRABTREE," "I'M GOOD LOOK AT ME IT'S ALL ME I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO PLAYS FOR THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS," "WELKER," and "SKIP BAYLESS" into random spots. Pete Carroll grins as he holds the Lombardi trophy above his head, and yells "This is for you, twelfth man!" (have you ever noticed how weird "12th" looks when you spell it out? I just did). The MVP is Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. Fans pelt him with Skittles. (Skittles are a hard-shelled, chewy, fruit-based candy typically sold in movie theaters and gas stations. Though their "Original" is their highest selling variant, Skittles are also available in "Sour" and "Tropical" flavorings. Skittles are a favorite candy of Marshawn's).

OKAY BUT REALLY:

I'm actually predicting a really good game, especially with the matchup of Denver's combination of Thomas and Decker versus Seattle's defensive backs. That's going to be fun to watch, and it'll make for an excellent showdown. In all honesty, I'm predicting a Bronco victory here, probably 28-23 or something along those lines.
