Was it just me...or was that the oddest Superbowl ever????
For Tom Brady and the Patriots the 6th SB win.
Three quarters the only score on the board was their field goal.
(...later the Rams would get their own field goal tying it up at 3 and 3
in the 4th Quarter)
The Patriots would get the ONLY TD of the entire game...
Technically, from the whole defense thing...it was a brilliant game. Well matched neither team gave any quarter at all...preventing scoring.
From merely a spectator's POV though...yeah...people expect TDs and scoring during the Superbowl...just saying.
Pretty incredible half-time, though.
(...no, Not Maroon 5...or Big Boi with his car and coat...or the flames and half-naked heavily tattooed Adam Levine...)
We muted it...had our own halftime and got our snacks on for the second half...
...BEST HALFTIME EVER...
And finally it was Brady to Edelman to Gronkowski to Michel for the ONLY touchdown of the game- with only minutes left on the clock...
And Belichick...almost cracked a smile.
Brady got another ring...and said he was playing until he was at least 45.
(...so I am guessing he is going for a complete set...)
Old age and treachery (...or ability) won out over youth and agility.
Edelman got MVP.
And all those people who paid thousands for good seats in Atlanta...well...they may have felt a bit cheated.
Oddest SB ever.
Fly-over magnificent, as always.
The anthem sung by Gladys Knight (sans Pips) and quite elegant.
The commercials were equally good or terrible. No middle ground this year.
My very favorite
Harrison Ford's dog using Amazon's Alexa to order dog food...lots of dog food...and gravy and sausages...lol
"I'm not speaking to you."
And the Budweiser Mash-Up with Game of Thrones Finale
And an honorable mention to the Return of The Dude
in the Stella Artois Commercial...
Shrimp and Good Cheeses and Crackers and Popcorn, Great Accommodations, Perfect Weather and Amazing Company...oh and a little football, too.
Looking forward to our Valentine's Brunch, John!
