Super Bowl

The week leading up to the big game sprung questions of whether or not the rematch could live up to the first Super Bowl between the great Tom Brady and Eli Manning. I feel our questions were answered as this Super Bowl between the Patriots and Giants was just as good if not better. I feel the commercials were overall not quite as funny as years before and I will touch base on the halftime show and how it is a joke. First let's focus on the game. One thing that really stood out to me was the uncharacteristic penalties by both teams. The Giants had one or two delay of games and they had to take two timeouts in the fourth quarter to save themselves from getting a delay of game. As for the Patriots, they had the 12 men on the field in the beginning of the game that cost them, of course Tom Brady had the intentional grounding that resulted in a safety, and they also had an offside in the fourth quarter I believe. Both teams pride themselves in discipline and both teams had lack there of. Now look at the fourth quarter drops by the New England Patriots. With nine minutes to go I believe on first down Wes Welker dropped the seam pass. Second down, Aaron Hernandez drops an easy completion over the middle and on third down Deion Branch has the ball but drops it after being hit by the safety. Someone had to step up and make a play but no one did. My last point I want to make about the game itself is Eli Manning is a winner! I thought for sure he was done for in the middle of the fourth quarter. He was short hopping receivers and every throw was wobbly. Sure enough, Eli in the clutch is cool and collected and like he has all year led his team down the field for another fourth quarter victory. How can you be upset with that Super Bowl? How can you beat the game being decided on a hail mary as time expires? The answer is you can't. I don't know what it is about the Super Bowl that brings out these dramatic finishes but I for one can not wait for next year already. Let's go Browns! Moving on to the commercials. I feel they have been on a slight decline over the past couple years but there are still a few select quality commercials this year. I loved the M&M commercial. I thought it was hilarious and dealt more with our generation's humor. I also loved the Bud Light here Wego commercial. It was funny to see a dog running all over to bring beer to a crowd of people, I wish that dog was mine. Other commercials that amused me were the sketchers commercial with the dogs and I got a chuckle out of the. At commercial with the vampires solely because of how dumb it was. Finally let's look at the halftime show with Madonna. After the concert was over they came over the sound system and thanked everyone for watching the halftime show. I felt they should thank me for watching it because I felt it was a waste of my time. For one she was lip singing the entire show. I for one take pride in singers providing me with live entertainment or at least give it their best and not cop out. There has also been a big buzz about M.I.A flipping off the camera. I didn't even know who M.I.A was before that show so I give her credit, any publicity is good publicity right? I feel Madonna still is kicking strong but felt is was just a bad choice for the Super Bowl which is supposed to be family friendly. This is the same woman that sings Like a Virgin. This is the same woman that made out with Brittany Spears and Christina Aguleira during a show. I don't care if the show will be corny with someone like the Beach Boys or something, they at least are better role models in my opinion. That is all I have to say. I know this was a long post but thanks for bearing in there with me. Post by Jared King.
