SuperBUST

How anticlimactic was SuperBowl XLV?
(I don't think it's any coincidence that it says 'Cope' and 'terrible' on a towel for the Super Bowl.)

So much so that people were willing to pay $200 to stand outside the stadium in 40 degree Dallas weather and watch the game being projected on a white tarp. If that’s not good, wholesome family-fun then I don’t know what is.

The game itself was in hand from the get-go. The early Ben Roethlisberger pick-6 sealed the deal, and an insignificant late run by the Steelers was hardly enough to make it a game. The Green Bay Packers were the better team, the best team all year, and showed it with their talent, depth and precision. It just didn’t have the feel of smash-mouth game that should have resulted from such good defenses coming together.

The commercials were also weaker than a Circus strongman. Way too much money, and way too much research went into them. They outdid themselves, and by ‘outdid’ I mean couldn’t put a memorable or funny ad together for the life of them.

The NFL Championship game doesn’t have to be Super to be called a SuperBowl… this year proved that.

  1. This is awful. You serious must have typed this in 3 minutes. A 10 year old could write the same thing. I literally learned nothing and get nothing from this. If you are going to blog make it worth peoples time to read, not four paragraphs of garbage. I hope you can do better than this.

    @ Anonymous: Just a few gramatical corrections for you. If you're going to comment make it worth people's time to read, not just a paragraph of garbage.

  3. You're telling me a 6 seed that went 10-6 and made it into the playoffs by picking off Jay Cutler on the last drive of the last game was the "best team all year"? What about Tom Brady having the second best statistical season of his life? What about when they lost 7-3 to Detroit? What about back to back overtime losses to Washington and Miami? What about the 14-2 Falcons...that beat Green Bay? Best team all year....right. And rodgers went to disneyworld. Think before you write man.
