Super Bowl

[phatdaddy]

Well, was hoping the south was gonna rise up again, but, was not meant to be. I know a lot of u guys are patriots fans, so congratulations. More of a college than pro football fan, but living on the coast, i feel closer to Tampa or New Orleans than Atlanta, so no real stake in the game.

I know we don't talk much sports on here, but thought recognition for a heck of a game was due my northern Vbuds

PS. I did bet New England and they did cover the spread

I was rooting for NE, but only because the Falcons knocked out my beloved Packers. Since I had no horse in the race it really didn't matter to me who won. I will say this though... it was a heck of a game. At the end of the first half it looked like a blowout for Atlanta... No way did I ever dream of NE coming back like they did in the second. So yes, a heck of a game.... and on a slightly different note, the half time show was one of the better ones I can remember. Lady Gaga hit one out of the park IMHO.

I'm with you guys - didn't have a dog in the fight but it turned out to be a wild game. I too was afraid Lady G was going to do some big anti Trump or anti America rant - she put on a good show and it was impressive when she took the big leap off the structure (I wonder how far down that was).

there was a football game on? Who won? Clemson or S. Carolina?

Yes, Tom Brady is the Best QB in NFL history.
Yes, The Pats are the dominant team in the NFL for the last decade.
No, it was not the best superbowl ever...

The Patriots (18–0) entered the Super Bowl undefeated and were 12 point favorites going into game weekend. The Giants defeated the Patriots 17–14 in Super Bowl XLII

I judge the quality of the super bowl on it's entertainment value. It's supposed to entertain me, not try and stuff someone's political values down my throat. There are times, like last year, where the half time show was a total put down . I went and got a beer and a sam'mich while waiting for it to get over. Zero entertainment value when it's interspersed with someone's political beliefs (conservative or liberal) as far as I'm concerned.

This years game was a good game, not the blow out that it seemed to be heading for, so I give it high marks for drama. And as I previously stated, I thought the half time show was phenomenal. I'd forgotten how many hit songs of Lady Gaga's that I knew. She was entertaining, which is what she was supposed to be, and the innovation and high energy of her show was stunning. So she also gets high marks in my book.

Probably not the very best Super Bowl of all times. (There have been several really good ones and several stinkers) But overall, I'd rank it in the top 5, and probably even in the top 3. But that's my impression and my opinion and I realize others may think (and are rightfully allowed to think) differently.

I thought it was a good game. Naturally I'm a Pats fan.
If the Falcons can keep that team together they are going to be a great team in the future. Falcons offense is scary fast.

good game. not a surprise as we've all seen brady score 3 or more TDs in a quarter. I have no idea what lady gaga does for a living but man, she is hotter than sh!t!!!!! the commercials sucked. 1 or 2 good ones. that's about it. I would like to see some different teams in the big dance.

I believe the game was won and lost on coaching.
