Much will be written today about the Super Bowl last night.
The jokes on Twitter about “oops it was me” and Beyonce’s curling iron
regarding the power outage were endless. Though I did like the Mark Hoppus
reference, “if you like it then you should have put a fuse in it,” good
reference without being on the nose, #nailedit, I agree. Whether you were for
or against the “good team” (49ers) you have to be looking at that final drive
and the pass interference with skepticism. Has football turned into the WWE? Of
course, San Fran should have not been in that place, they should have done more
earlier, but in the end the Ravens won and Michael Oher has a Super Bowl ring,
not all bad.
Personally I would like to discuss all this talk lately of
getting rid of extra points and field goal kickers because they “aren’t real
athletes” and the game should be decided by “real football players” (insert
random soccer comment here). First Take has hit this topic over the head all
week. Okay, last night’s final five minutes had nothing to do with real
football players but rather how to best run down the CLOCK. So, what kind of
athlete is the clock? What kind of training does this time piece go through?
You cannot on one hand say that it is an unfair advantage (3 points) and ignore
the way coaches work the clock. It has become a part of the game and it is far
more ridiculous than the “non-talent” (their words not mine) of the kicker. At
least they do something!
Next God. Ray Lewis, you had two weeks to figure out how to
best thank God without being a douche. Saying “when you have God on your side”
in any format with any words behind it is inappropriate. Thanking God above all
else is fine but acting like the heathens on the other side of the field have
no relationship with God is ridiculous and that an all-powerful being as
somehow anointed you is pure hubris. On that note, if God did have anything to
do with this football game it was to deny the ego of Randy Moss (who dared say
he was greater than Jerry Rice) a Super Bowl ring. As long as Randy Moss is on
the 49ers it is unlikely they will win the Super Bowl if God has anything to do
with it and Jerry Rice is laughing in his head, you know it!
And finally, the halftime show. Not only did Beyonce bring
it, but the singing and dancing made the whole thing just plain fun and
entertaining. Like the halftime used to be before nip slips and old people took
over (Mick Jagger). Everyone is up in arms about Destiny’s Child being forced
to sing a Beyonce song, the mean comments all over Facebook talk about what a
horrible person she must be. Seriously!? Would either of those girls been
invited to sing at the Super Bowl if it wasn’t for her? I don’t even know their
names! They got to perform at the Super Bowl, their stock just went up and they
looked and sounded great. I don’t think wanting to sing one of her biggest
hits, one that got the whole crowd roaring is something to be sad about. Now
losing the Super Bowl…that’s something to be sad about. Poor Jim Harbaugh…so
close, yet again!
