First Take from Bryant Park Live Blog January 28, 2013

11:59 Guess he got a REXtension on his contract.

11:58 Rodgers-Cromartie: "I will retire if we win."

11:57 Stephen A.: "I do not trust anybody who wants to stay with the New York Knicks."

11:49 Oh no, I can't believe they're planning to continue about Bravo's show after the break. What a horrible way to end the show.

11:49 I say, "What about Honey Badger?"

11:48 Stephen A.: Sherman is helped by Earl Thomas and Cam Chancellor. Patrick Peterson is better, but doesn't have as good teammates.

11:47 Skip: Richard Sherman has the advantage over Demaryius Thomas, and it's too bad Peyton doesn't have Antonio Brown.

11:46 Skip: Floyd is just running from Pacquiao and Bradley.

11:45 Stephen A.: People who chide Floyd don't understand the sport of boxing.

11:42 Stephen A.: I don't know how much longer this amazing physical specimen that is LeBron James can continue to last at this level.

11:42 Skip: LeBron will get 5 rings.

11:37 Carmelo Anthony's wife's going on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live!" and talking about his future is irrelevant to anything that should ever be discussed on ESPN2. In fact, the only time I've ever cared about Bravo is when NBC used it to broadcast the first five rounds of Olympic tennis in 2012. Mainly the semifinal match between Federer and Del Potro that lasted 4 hours and 26 minutes.

11:34 YOU CAN'T SPELL BELIEVE WITHOUT ELI

11:31 "This is the first Super Bowl I can remember when no one is talking about John Fox or Pete Carroll. It's all about Peyton Manning and Richard Sherman." -Steve

11:28 "Peyton Manning is the GOAT no matter what happens Sunday." -Steve

11:22 Giants P Steve Weatherford has selected the Broncos.

11:22 "You lose, you're a loser, you just lost later." -Martellus Bennett

11:20 "Eli Manning would not have led the league in interceptions for the third time if I had been there this year." -Martellus Bennett

11:19 "Jerry Jones seems to be more concerned with making money than winning." -Stephen A. Smith

11:18 Martellus Bennett didn't like playing for the Dallas Cowboys at all.

11:17 Martellus Bennett liked Richard Sherman's postgame rant, but he thinks that Michael Crabtree is nice, not mediocre.

11:17 MLB approves padded caps for pitchers.

11:13 because his brother plays for them.

11:08 Martellus Bennett has selected the Seahawks.

11:04 "Both Shanahan and RGIII are to blame." -Chris Cooley

11:02 "It would be amazing to play for [Peyton Manning's] offense." -Chris Cooley

10:59 Chris Cooley has picked the Broncos.

10:50 Skip is changing his tune for no reason, except to create drama on this show. He picked Durant over LeBron and Westbrook for years, and now he's saying Westbrook and LeBron are better than KD.

10:48 Stephen A. makes a good point that the fact that KD sucked in the Finals is not a fact because he averaged 30 and 50+% shooting in those games.

10:44 Skip, last year's playoffs are irrelevant to the conversation of whether you are impressed with KD in the last 11 games.

10:37 "Tom Brady did enough to win Super Bowl XLII." -Skip Bayless

10:35 "We drew up the Tyree play." -Osi

10:33 This is so awkward for Skip Bayless to say that Matt Ryan sucks in front of Osi Umenyiora.

10:31 "Peyton Manning is the GQBOAT regardless of what happens in this game." -Osi

10:29 "I'm not sure I've reached my full potential yet. I'm still learning how to play quarterback in this league." -Peyton Manning

10:28 "A sack is the most overrated stat in football." -Osi Umenyiora

10:27 Osi says how he got after Brady in the Super Bowls reminds him that defense wins championships.

10:26 Osi picks the Seahawks due to their defense (since he's a defensive guy) and due to the weather.

10:15 "The Cowboys epitomize dysfunctionality, simply because of their owner. Cowboys fans all over this world should, I'm on the verge of saying, boycott this team."

10:13 Scott Linehan? Why do the Cowboys continue to make headlines when they're so irrelevant? Even on Super Bowl week? What a joke. The team is just an unsuccessful media circus.

10:12 Skip is wrong. Peyton won't have an ego and throw to Demaryius on purpose because Sherman is talking.

10:08 Stephen A. made a great point: Richard Sherman is like Jadeveon Clowney and his hit. After that hit, he talked about himself and how no one could triple-team him so much, that coaches ignored him at the beginning of the 2013 season, and he became irrelevant. Who cares if Richard Sherman talks and talks? Peyton will throw to Julius Thomas, Welker, and Decker instead.

10:06 I disagree with Skip Bayless that Richard Sherman should take a shot at Peyton Manning today. In fact, Richard Sherman should turn it down in the days leading up to the Super Bowl, not make more noise.

10:06 It is hilarious that Stephen A. just kicked a fan off the set for wearing a Tebow jersey.
