Did I miss the latest Super Bowl? When was that? February 7th? Sunday? Oh darn.
Actually, I watched most of it. I just wish I had missed the game…because I swear I knew how it would go. I swear I relived the horrible thing that it was, except I don’t remember the commercials. I just remember hating Tom Brady and his lot. But, I remember him in Patriot attire, not Buccaneer.
The GOAT they call him. HA! Yea, he’s a goat, all right. A goat that consumes his weight in water every day, or so I’ve heard. Shouldn’t that make him the CAMEL? The Careless Arsehole Making…Entertainment…Lousy? It’s a work in progress. I’ll hopefully get back to you on that one. [I’m open to suggestions.]
I am just SO glad the commentators mentioned the nagging referees. I am betting Brady’s company had a hand in that. Sure. On top of all the other scandals attached to his success, now we load up some refs with money and charm stuffed in their pockets. Brady was first on the field that day; want to bet he made contact with the first-ever female ref? I would not be surprised. Put in a good word for me. Wink. Thanks, sweetheart. Giselle means nothing.
Why did it seem like the Chiefs’ offensive line was crumbling around Mahomes and his bad toe/foot? ‘Because they were afraid of being penalized for HOLDING. Too often, the Chiefs were getting holding penalties. And, in one instance, one Chief brushes against Brady while saying something. And, that was inappropriate conduct. Brady is even caught smirking, gloating in response to the penalty call.
At the start of the game, the commentators were in favor of the Chiefs winning. By the end of the game, they were praising Brady, claiming he “did his thing.” I am confused. Back in the day, Brady’s thing was stellar quarterback skill. At least, I thought it was. I thought he was just so good that I had to admire AND hate him; that he rivaled Brett Favre and Joe Montana. Now, is it fraud? Is his skill swindling authorities to get his way? He didn’t subscribe to advertising like so many other players. [How many commercials featured Chiefs players and/or Packers’ Aaron Rodgers? Were there Brady ads shown exclusively in Florida?]
As far as I could tell, Brady only benefitted from the excessive discipline of referees, aka penalties. He didn’t even break a sweat!…in Florida! He just walked down the field and planted the ball in hand-picked hands that didn’t have to spike it. The whole experience was like watching a monopoly buy out some small store/company. Congrats. Now, Bob’s Search Engine is a Koogle-head and being turned into a grocery store chain for Biff Jezos.
And if the painful ending wasn’t bad enough…
- Lacking commercials. Advertising was definitely missing something…like alcohol. Even the ever-horse-trotting Budweiser was amiss with some hints at a non-alcoholic beverage I never saw clearly. That wasn’t even a commercial! It was a magazine clipping they kept showing on TV. Half of the commercials were for local broadcasting TV shows. Doritos and M&Ms were the highlights, and even they were lost in a boring sea. Jason Alexander was fishing for a show about nothing, reminiscing about his sweater days with a chocolate-sauce stain. And, there were SO many pitches for African-American awareness…claiming Patrick Mahomes (I had no idea) was also “black”…on a night when the whitest guys in the place took all the joy out of the stadium…… [To be continued]
- Victory parade madness. ……[continued]….and threw the Lombardi trophy over open waters, while drunk, like it didn’t even matter, like it was some souvenir football tossed into the crowd. I don’t even want to know why that happened. I care but don’t want to know. It’s just nuts. It’s stupid. It’s careless. Which brings me back to my point about the CAMEL. So much for all that noble talk about teamwork and good sportsmanship. Bull-diddly-shat.
Yep. That about sums it up. ‘Not even 3 points to give. ‘Not even a field goal. ‘Because it wasn’t worth all the effort or spectacle. It wasn’t worth the risk to everyone’s health/safety. It wasn’t worth Black History Month and all the other merits achieved by those involved. It was a lame joke and cruel punishment to Patrick Mahomes and his team. Granted, if Mahomes knew he had that bad foot, he probably should not have been playing…but you know how people can pressure you to take risks.
[‘Which leads me back to the game between the Packers and Buccaneers, the one that gave Brady’s hand-picked victory-ensured team (of two) the open door to score another lame ring and grand (but not valued) trophy. There were numerous opportunities when Rodgers could have run with the ball to aid his team. But, he did not run for fear of more injuries, like his previous collar-bone, hand and leg fractures. He was scared stiff. Thankfully…or luckily?…that was not Brady’s fault. Had I been battered like Rodgers, I might have been apprehensive, too. But, where’s that cushy insurance package he’s always pitching? Where’s his good neighbor? I guess that’s bogus, too, Drake.]
The BEST part of Super Bowl 2021? Surprisingly, that was the halftime show with The Weekend. I am hardly a fan of the guy. I amazingly recognized a few of the songs. I thought he did a stellar job of working the entire field and light shows. The countless characters wearing real-estate-grunt suits and facial underwear were a bit unsettling. But, the whole worked rather well. No fear of audience interfer–
Oh, wait. There was that one streaker who put everyone at risk at the riskiest of times. [I wonder how that impacted the “social-distancing” crisis.]
What was I talking about? Never mind. It probably wasn’t important.
Hey, you, reader! Go long! I’ll toss you my priceless trophy like a football!…like a football.
