Some random observations regarding Super Bowl El eye eye eye …
** Though it was never more than a one-possession game until the final two minutes, I never thought the Los Angeles Rams were going to win that game. If it had been decided by judging instead of points, it would have been a runaway, but the fact that New England was dominating yet it was still close is what made it watchable. But it doesn’t matter if it 3-3 or 30-30; a tie game in the fourth quarter is still a tie game in the fourth quarter.
** Speaking of watchable, poor Tony Romo. He spent his whole football life looking forward to being involved in a Super Bowl and the game was such a punt-fest that he had to analyze it like he had one vocal chord tied behind his back.
**I’m sorry that I feel the need to bring this up, but Saints’ fans look worse and worse each day. The not watching part doesn’t really bother me — however that got old after awhile — but the narratives using the words “rigged” and “illegitimate” make me cringe because people actually believe it to be true.
**If you don’t believe Bill Belichick is putting on an act during all of his “it’s on to Cincinnati” weekly press conferences, then you didn’t see him after the game. He was joking around, full of personality, and they almost couldn’t get him to stop talking. You don’t have to like him, but you can’t deny his greatness. They’ve won six Super Bowls and I’d dare say they haven’t been the more talented team in any of them.
**Same goes for No, 12. What Tom Brady has done is beyond greatness. If you thought any differently up until now, this should have sealed it — they are all playing for second place.
**Can we please do something about the post-game festivities? The confetti is so 2005, but the real problem is the parade of the trophy that takes silly to a new level. Good thing the “presenters” have gloves on because we wouldn’t want to get any smudges of the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
