Stroll Down the NFL Boulevard Superbowl

Stroll down the NFL Boulevard

Superbowl

 

                Well this is it the end of the season. The end of the playoffs, the end of everything as we know it. While we are sad, we have a lot to get to. So Expo can you do one more time??? Kick it!!!

 

                Well here we go, we sit down for our Superbowl  XLIX experience, so before the Kickoff we are ready, Flipped over just in time to catch the John Legend singing of “America the Beautiful” very nice. We thought it was good, thought we might should have stood up, but we didn’t. Okay so here we go the Star-Spangled Banner, Idina Manzel, not too bad, a little long and she sang without accompaniment, which was okay. After this was over we thought “Who was that singing?” so we looker her up and found that it was the gal from Frozen. Oh okay, hopefully you are about to 14:45 of her 15 minutes.  We did think it was neat that NBC decided to show the picture of the coin toss from the first Super bowl. There were 5 people on the field, compared to this year when there were 45 people for the coin toss. (That is too freaking many) So finally the Shehawks win the toss and as they run off the field they yell back to the referee second half. Okay so the Pats start to run off the field while yelling Ball. Now there are 40 people standing out in the middle of the field look around at each with the expression “Why am I here again” written all over their faces. So get them off the field so we can start the game.

 

                The opening kickoff was a spectacle all its own. It used to be neat when the kick returner would have a return average of more than 20 yards. Now even returning the kickoff 23 yards doesn’t get you to the 20 yard line. First thing as a special teams coach teach… “If you catch the ball in the endzone put your knee on the ground, we would rather start at the 20 instead of 18.” At the End of the quarter Tom Terrific using inflated Balls throws an interception and Russell Wilson can’t seem to guide his team to a first down, and we have a tie. This was a lot like watching the world cup soccer. Lots of guys running around but nothing really happened. Except maybe someone found a lost puppy (thanks Budweiser)

First Quarter Score Patriots 0 the Shehakws 0. No one really screwed up, but no one did anything worth mentioning.

 

                The Second Quarter started with the end of another possession by the Shehawks. The Patriots drive the ball down and score a touchdown. But we are not worried about that, we are working on a bowl of Bow tie Pasta with Meat balls, (our meatballs are not deflated) and it is a new dinner idea. Okay so the Shehawks get the ball and score a touchdown right back. As Russell Wilson hands the ball off to Marshon Lynch for the Score. We are tied now and life is good again. The people at their parties are happy, the commercials have been good, we mean we were even happy And Allison was going to tell us what the internet is. And then the Nationwide commercial comes on. Talk about a kick in the balls. We can only guess that nothing sells insurance like a dead 8 year boy was the motto for that Superbowl commercial meeting. Way to Go Nationwide, it is okay to happy cry for the Superbowl, not kick you in groin cry. We for one have scratched Nationwide from our insurance choices for ever. Currently we don’t give a crap if they are on my side. By the time we recover from that The Damn Patriots scored again and there is only 31 seconds to go. Well at least Seattle is getting the ball to start the second half. Then the impossible happens Russell Wilson throws a pass to the left and scores a touchdown and the game is tied again. Wow what action. The first half was pretty good, Football like it should be. Enough defense to make you happy, enough offense to keep you interested.

End of the first half Patriots 14 the Seattle 14. If only we didn’t have Chris and Al on the broadcast things would have been fabulous. We just are not a fan of these two; they contradict each other far too much for us.

 

                The Halftime show as it started was hum… how do we say this? Interesting to say the least. The site of Katie Perry on top of a Liger was great; the fact that they recycled the outfit from “Blades of Glory” was Awesome!!! We know that the costume designer was probably going for some hunger game thing, since Lenny Kravits was coming out soon and it was to be some tribute to him. But we just saw Will Ferrell as fire… Then we got the part where Lenny played. Can we just start announcing that the special guest guitar player will be playing without being plugged into an Amp?  So basically he is going to Air guitar whatever he does. And now to the greatest part of the Halftime show and we are definitely in favor anytime the NFL wants to have Dancing Sharks and Dancing Palm Trees! Other than that the Music was too loud, we couldn’t hear the words to the songs, and the guys who ran out on Stage with the word “Missy” on their britches was just embarrassing. I mean what dude really comes on stage with “Missy” painted on his Pant leg?

Final Halftime Score Katie Perry 5 Lenny Kravitz 2 Missy Elliott 0 (Why was she here again) Dancing sharks and Palm trees 10!!!

 

                As the Third quarter starts the Seattle gets the ball and drives down and scores. Marshon Lynch couldn’t pick up a first down on third and 1 from the 10 yard line and the Seattle kicks a field. (Field goals are not going to win in the NFL as we know) And when Tom Terrific gets the properly inflated ball to start his first drive of the second half, he throw an interception. Then the Seattle scores a touchdown as Russell Wilson throws it to Doug Baldwin. He is so excited that he just scored a touchdown in the Superbowl that he decided that it was time for him to mimic his morning routine. He actually thought it was a good idea to act like he pulled down his pants, bent over and pretended to defecate a football in the endzone as a celebration. We are real sorry, but this is the reason that the celebration should be disallowed after a touchdown. They say don’t let one bad apple spoil the barrel, well that just turned us off. He should have been released from his football duty the rest of the night, and maybe even some next year.

End of the Third Score the Patriots 14 the Seattle 24. Again you can tell us how great Seattle is, but if this is the kind of respect that the team has for the game, then there may be no help for them.

 

                The Fourth Quarter starts with one of the 10 punts in the game and continues that way till the New England finally sticks it in the Seattle Endzone, (hello Doug Baldwin) Tom Terrific began to find his grasp on the properly inflated balls and threw another touchdown pass, to tighten the score.  The Seattle could do nothing with the balls as they punted, it away until Tom Terrific finally scored like he is married to some Brazilin model. What is that Expo? Oh he is married to a Brazilian model? Well Chris and Al only said that like 50 times during the game. Yes they were like dogs on a bone. Yes we won a hundo on that bet. Taking the over on Gisele. So with 2:02 the game finally got interesting. Then what maybe considered the greatest catch in the history of all of football happened. (Personally the best catch was Lynn Swann in Superbowl) Jermaine Kearse made a great catch of a tipped ball, it is not like he trapped it against his helmet, or it was one handed. Frankly if you watch enough football you will see that catch made 4 or 5 times in High school football every year. So the Seattle gets to the 4 yard line. Here is where it gets interesting. Seattle takes a timeout. Why did they take a timeout you ask? Because no one on the field thought it was going to be a catch so they didn’t get ready. And the clock was ticking away. After the timeout it is first and goal to go on the four yard line. Pete Carroll calls the greatest play in history of the NFL. Halfback off left Tackle, it gets 3 yards. Now it is second and goal to go, from inside the 1. Another time out, because for some reason the coach didn’t think about calling two plays in the huddle, and run them back to back and then call a time out. I looked to my son and said the only thing that will keep these guys from winning is a turnover, like a fumbled snap. Little did we know that head Coach Pete Carroll thought he had a better match up than running the ball and decided to trick the New England and throw a pass. But not just any pass, but a slant. To the middle of the field. Hell Russell Wilson would have just as easily handed the Ball to Malcolm Butler.

Final score the New England 28 the Seattle 24. Pete Carroll will live in infamy now as the coach that let this game get away. All the experts will tell you that this was the greatest game ever played in the Superbowl. Only time will tell, but if NFL Films doesn’t use the “Butler did it with an interception in the Endzone” as the name of the highlights of this game. Then they should sure use “Malcolm in the middle intercepts the game”.

 

 

Well that will do it for us again this year. We hope you have enjoyed this as much as we have…

And remember like we always say…

 

 

Summer after high school when we first met
We made out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos
Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

In another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in other life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away!

I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, (whoa)
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse

In another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The one that got away

All this money can't buy me a time machine, (Nooooo)
Can't replace you with a million rings, (Nooooo)
I should've told you what you meant to me, (whoa)
'Cause now I pay the price

In another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one

And in another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away!!
