  • Jon Jansen
  • Jake Rudock
  • LaMarr Woodley
  • Brandon Graham
  • Marlin Jackson (confirmed today)

I'm sure there will be a lot of recorded videos from celebrities like there last year. 

Big Sean would be an awesome surprise if he showed up. He did an announcement last year for Onwenu since he's a Cass Tech guy and we have two this year.

Unfortunately? Actually, Brady will have plenty of years to come to Michigan. I am ecstatic that the Patriots are in the Super Bowl, and want Tom to get another ring. Shoot, get several more!! I want Michigan to have the GOAT, and a couple three more rings would pretty much make it a slam dunk over Montana et al.

I saw the story about the convenience store owner who did that in reaction to the Boston sports columnist slamming Atlanta sports fans. I thought that was pretty clever. Even got some pretty clever responses from the Sam Adams twitter account, pulled Coca-Cola into it, etc. 

Also, looks like a lot of fun bets - mayors of Flowery Branch, GA (Falcons HQ, practice facility) and Foxborough, MA have made a bet to wear the opposing teams jersey and trade some local goods. 

Six Flags over GA and Six Flags New England made a bet to change the names of one of their rides and serve up either Peach Pie (if ATL wins) or new england clam chowder (if Pats win). 

Of course, there is the traditional mayoral bet, this year including the mayors of Atlanta and Bosto... Wait, what? Boston mayor isn't betting? That's so lame....

Go Falcons! RISE UP!

Marty Walsh is a typical POS Boston pol!  More worried about making City Hall a sanctuary for illegal aliens.  Years ago, Menino and the Southie political mafia told Kraft to pound sand when he was looking to build a stadium on the waterfront.  Maybe if the property had been owned by Whitey Bulger it would've gotten done,  however Whitey might have had to do some pre sale escavation work!  However, Mumbles Menino and now dumb ass Marty Walsh, always "claim" the Patriots for Boston during the Super Bowl.  Marty Walsh would mess up a wet dream!

and I'm not at all sure what I want to happen. I've been pulling for Brady every year; the Falcons making a real go of things makes it complicated.

I do know there is a waitress at the Moonshadow on Lawrenceville Highway who is pulling publicly and without fear for the Pats; I think she will be there for the game.

Any year there is no Dallas is above average as far as I am concerned.

Brady has never lost his job. Steve Young was good but still. I don't think there has really been a guy in the past say 13 years that could take Brady's job. Maybe more years than that. I'm getting old so you have figure in alzheimers. Anyway, how many AFC Championships has Brady taken the Patriots to? Like 8, 9 or 10? Montana didn't do that. This is his 7th Super Bowl too. Brady gets this win and he is the GOAT, hands down. Poor Dan Marino was such a talent though.

That has nothing to do with it. He doesn't do recruiting favors for UNC basketball, so I don't think he will show up to Signing of Stars. I could see him recording a Jumpman video/ad

Michigan is putting on the biggest signing day show in CFP and Harbaugh is going to grab a million headlines.

Michael Jordan and his brand of football gear will be a part of that; if he appears that will be at the center of it. 

High school and youth football kids/parents (the on-field apparel market) will see those stories and some will be more likely to end up buying Jordan brand.

You're right; Looks like those are just Michigan player exclusives for now (all the better for 'crootin with I guess). Bad example. 

Sells more other gear then. They're not giving Michigan all that apparel money for just the M branded gear sales.

Either way, him showing up would only convince Michigan fans to buy more Jordan gear which is pennies on the dollar to his few hundred million dollar empire that you previously mentioned. I love the Michigan is associated with MJ and Brand Jordan just as much the rest of you but it makes no sense for him to come from his perspective. He'll be on the golf course in Florida smoking a cigar

Michigan State University athletic department has confirmed that The Situation will host the Spartans' signing day celebration, A Day of Disrespekt. It was hoped that Pauly D would also attend but he has a prior commitment to DJ a wedding in Sea Girt. "Still, this is quite a coup," Head Coach Mark Dantino said. "As a team we have much to learn about the power of disrespekt from 'The Sitch.'"
