Post 2018 Superbowl Musings

10. This is now clearly an offensively minded league, and the stereotypes being made about dirty players or street got replaced with smart and skilled, and class act. As more hits get banned by the league, expect it go up.  Brady played very well tonight, and as long as he can get protection, or never get hit because of the potential penalties, he can play for another five years.

9. I didn’t hear of Brady congratulating the Eagles in the press conference; instead I heard that he didn’t shake the hands of the Eagles in defeat. Gisele Bundchen, his wife, congratulated every Eagles player she saw leaving the stadium.  Brady has played in more Superbowls than any other player in the 52 year history of the game.  Shameful lack of grace…

8. No show on the ground during the first week of February in Minneapolis is an ominous wake up call.

7. Randy Moss played for the Vikings and they got blown out two weeks ago….Moss played for the Patriots and said last year that he would love to come back and play for them again with Brady…coincidence?

6. Who is more upset, Hall of Famer Redskins cornerback Darrell Green for having to give the trophy to the Eagles, or former Eagles coach Chip Kelly?

5. Trump doesn’t get to see his guys at the White House, and he really, really needed that win.

4. Justin Timberlake really is a tool; all of the people that got him to where he is didn’t get the invite to perform with him…no N’Sync, No Timbaland, no Janet Jackson. And his routine looked like any mid part of the program on Sesame Street.

3. There was a concerted effort to try to make us feel something during the ads, but I don’t know what they were trying to make us feel. All I know is, Peter Dinklage did a lip sync to my favorite rap changeup in a song of all time, and Morgan Freeman finished the commercial with his.  All the crappy ads I had to get through in order to see that was WORTH IT!

2. I am taking a less than scientific test, but I bet that zero people at home stood up for the National Anthem, and I didn’t see Trump come after any of them in his tweets like he did tonight for the football players in previous games this season. As usual, I guess it only counts when you’re in front of a TV, and not when you’re a citizen and the world isn’t watching.

1. Philadelphia, America thanks you.
