Super Bowl XLVI Hangover

Now that the dust has settled, here are my random thoughts about last night’s Super Bowl:


1) Madonna did decent, but she is not the right performer to get us amped up for the second half. I really think we need a louder rock band rockin’ the halftime show next year. Motley Crue’s cameo in a commercial was more football-related energetic than Madonna singing ‘Music.” Me and my brother propose some Battle of the Bands-type Halftime Show.


2) M.I.A. flipping the bird. The life of a one-hit wonder…..


3) Wes Welker should have caught that ball. Brady in the 4th quarter threw at least four good passes that were dropped. Not sure why Boston has become Choke City in recent years (Bruins, Patriots, Red Sox multiple times). Welker should have caught it and it bears repeating. The game would have been over if he had made that clearly catchable catch. I don’t like blaming one said person for the loss of the Super Bowl, but Welker…..there is no excuse.


4) Eli Manning is the luckiest s.o.b. quarterback I have ever seen. Two Super Bowls that were won because of awesome catches that were done with mediocre throws. I will never believe that Eli is even close to the level of Peyton, its just never going to happen. The Giants overall are just a far superior franchise as compared to the Colts. The Giants have always had far better defense, far better receivers, and far better support.


5) One minute left in the game, two timeouts left, 1st and goal. Why on earth did the Patriots not let this team just score and get the ball back as soon as possible? The Giants were going to take the lead anyway, they were going to run the clock. Why not just give them the 7 points and get right back to work? The defense of the Patriots have been a letdown for the last couple years, it’s the offense that has always propelled them to wins. Instead, inexplicably, they tried to play defense, were forced to call a timeout, and decided one play later to let them score. If I were the Patriots, I would throw them at the end zone and just hope for a game-winning drive.


6) This was a good Super Bowl, it was a nice tough game, and it didn’t have much stupidity. The Giants definitely deserve to celebrate, while the Patriots deserve to go home empty.



7) Eli……..2 Super Bowl rings, Dan Marino none…………..ugh…………………………………………..


8) This was my favorite commercial



9) Have a nice day everybody
