Why "you mad bro" in the sign? Does that have some meaning that the uninitiated will understand?

I know nothing but it seems clear that this is a team rivalry. Payton Manning is Denver Broncos, who are cast as the likely losers of this match; Richard 'You mad, bro?' Sherman appears to be Seattle Seahawks and then I guess seen as being Payton Manning's nemisis and hero of what is likely to be the winning team. Outlook for Bitcoin in Denver: cloudy.

I have over $500 USD invested in this project

Woah, $500! Fox Sports and wild man waving banner better deliver. 

At this penning, I'm 99.8% confident that all will go off without a hitch.

Game on!

My first choice was Corn Beef Hash, but feared that the uninitiated wouldn't understand.  

Bottom line, a majority of the Seattle Seahawks fans will get the overall references cleverly incorporated in the banner... sans the Bitcoin part saved for us.

I just thought of something! CC doesn't have one banner, for it's two singles grommeted together, perhaps easily separated. Imagine if they were separated during the game, then there would be two Bitcoin-themed banners a wavin'. He'll know what to do, for it's in good hands now.

Overstock just previous announced that they will start accepting bitcoins during the design process of the banner. Looking at their site, the page I opted to link to just felt right to go along with the mostly Richard Sherman theme of which, he too, just announced that his site is accepting bitcoin payments, just a couple days prior to beating the 49ers. That is all.

Tired! Just read the above paragraph six times in a row, and still haven't a clue as to if it's penned properly, or is it correctly?

NIghT!

He wants to show to the Super Bowl fans that you can buy seahawks merch with Bitcoin, thus making them interessted in the technology, because they suddenly can relate to it.

Edit: The master was faster.

For those who dont know: Richard Sherman tweeted a picture of himself and Tom Brady with the caption "U Mad Bro" after the Seahawks upset the Pats last season.  I figured you were trying to get this attention since his personal store now accepts BTC.

damn awesome

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Just got a call from Fedex/Kinkos, and the driver is having difficulty delivering the package because the front desk won't let him drop it off. I had to call the Waldorf and I told it was because of policy, but I pulled a few strings and got them to accept the package, but by that time the driver with the package left, but Kinkos then call me back, so all may be well now, albeit a second trip.

Tomorrow, I will go into detail as to how I got Kinkos to do a rush job and fit it into their completely full schedule, and using the same tactic to get this banner accepted at the front desk. You'll love it!

Where does the Bitcoin/google address go to?

Links to http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=seattle+seahawks&SearchType=Header because Overstock.com just started accepting bitcoins for payment, and are doing quite well, I may add.

Just updated the bounty thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=429446.msg4877307#msg4877307

So it's not a donation address? How will you know if it's been successful?

[hilariousandco]

Why didn't you make it a donation address to Sean's Outpost? At least then you will know if anybody scans it.

But Corn Beef Hash is delicious...

Success, in this case, will be measured by having the banner shown on FOX Sports live during the Super Bowl.

If we, meaning all of us, pull this off, I'm sure Overstock will make a donation somewhere once they realize the jump in sales via bitcoins and reverse engineer as to where, how and why such were made.

So does QuestionAuthority like, hence the remark.

Just spoke with the gal at the front desk of the Waldorf, and it's confirmed that the banner is waiting for our fellow Bitcoiner to claim it. I sent him a PM to let him know, along with telling him that this thread's a buzzin' with people asking for a pic of the banner prior to heading out to the field, ergo somebodys please ask for a pic otherwise I may be viewed as a liar.   (<--- pick one)

How many people are taking the banner? Just one?

For privacy purposes, let me just say at least one, but not trying to be an ass here. Better yet, more than one would be a better answer--but less than ten (may or not may be acting as an ass with that one  ).
