Super Bowl 2014 Date: What Time is Sunday's Super Bowl 48?



The Super Bowl is Sunday, Feb. 2, and the kickoff time is 6:30 p.m. ET on Fox.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) Wes Welker swears he doesnt dwell on his costly drop in theSuperBowltwo years ago that could have sealed New Englands win over the New York Giants and made up for losing to them four years earlier.

You know what? I dont even think about it, Welker said as he prepared for his thirdSuperBowl, his first with the Denver Broncos. The past is the past, what happened, happened, and Im just looking forward to this one and going out there and playing my best game and doing what I can to help my team win.

Welker said getting to the big game and coming up short two times is what drives him.

I think its the reason I get up in the morning in the offseason and even now, he said after helping the Broncos beat his old team for the AFC title, securing a showdown with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium.

Welker tied aSuperBowlrecord with 11 receptions for 103 yards six years ago but the Patriots perfect season ended when Eli Manning threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds left to give the Giants a 17-14 win.

The teams met again four years later in Indianapolis and Welker caught seven passes for 60 yards and ran twice for 21 more, but it was the catch he didnt make that haunts Patriots fans to this day.

The Patriots led 17-15 with four minutes left and were on the Giants 44 when Tom Brady found Welker wide open 23 yards downfield. The pass, however, was high and slightly behind Welker, who got both hands on the ball but couldnt make the catch.

The Giants got the ball back and drove for the winning touchdown.

Sure, I mean it motivates you during the offseason. It motivates you when youre working out, it motivates you through the year, Welker said. Just that feeling of losing that game, I mean its heartbreaking. It takes a few weeks just to get over it. It definitely sticks with you and motivates you for the future and definitely blessed to have this opportunity again.

Welker joined Peyton Manning in Denver in the offseason after six seasons with Brady and was Denvers leading receiver until missing the final 3 games after sustaining his second concussion in a three-week span. He still ended up with 778 yards on 73 catches and a career-high 10 touchdowns. Wearing a bigger helmet to protect against further head injury, hes caught 10 passes for 76 yards and a TD in the playoffs.

He had four catches for 38 yards against New England in the AFC Championship and his hard hit took out Patriots top cornerback Aqib Talib on a pick play at the line of scrimmage. The next day, Patriots coach Bill Belichick suggested Welker deliberately tried to hurt Talib and complained to the league about it.

The NFL said no infraction had occurred.

Welkers teammates said Belichick was just using Welker as a smoke screen and a scapegoat to hide deficiencies in his teams defense and the fact that Welkers replacement in New England, Danny Amendola, dropped the only pass thrown to him in the title game.

Welker stayed above the fray, saying he was just happy to be back in theSuperBowl.

Im very blessed to have this opportunity again and thats all you really ask for, he said. Its all you work for during the offseason is to get to this point and now you just want to finish it.

DMT FFC Diafold Diamond Flat Folding File Coarse User Reviews

I'm a long-calculate user of DMT bench stones in all their shape factors. Lately, I've been noticing evidence of poor feature hegemony. I just received a coarse flat file and a fine flat file. There are obvious bald areas on these files containing little or no shape grit. I probable best.

DMT ADELUXE Aligner Deluxe Knife Sharpening Kit Reviews

I have been sharpening knives, axes, machetes, scissors, etc by hand for over 6 being now using diamond stones. I can get a pretty good edge, but after reading a book on the subject, I knew that I was never going to get that "factory" sharp feel on my knives without a tool.So I ordered the DMT Deluxe kit - in suspense to get that perfect 20 degree, or 18 degree grind...and I did...for one knife. Then a small fake nub, inside the alignment tool, snapped rancid, and it was impossible to get the tool to hold an slant, because of how the degree "inscription" are locked in place on that nub/lug. The tool became useless, unless I wanted one bevel incredibly sharp.I immediately emailed DMT expressing my problem. I never did get a response. The injection molded fake is as brittle as a child's toy, and really not nearly the quality of the stones they include with the kit (which imho, were pretty dang good.) The one knife I did sharpen with the tool took a great...
