Super Bowl
Although I picked the Rams to win the outcome of the game was not as surprising as the game itself.
It looked more like a Stupid Bowl than the Super Bowl. There is no doubt it would not have taken much effort for the losers in the Conference championship games, the Chiefs and Saints to have played a more exciting game. If you are one of those all out NFL fans and for some reason have missed the annual Hall of Fame games each year and wonder about the game, the 2019 Super Bowl was a replay of most Hall of Fame games.
There are many awards given at the end of this game. Every week the winning team gives the game ball to one of their players for their outstanding contribution. This game, I would have given the ball to the Defensive Coordinator of the Patriots. With an extra week to prepare, he knew everything the Rams were going to do, when they were going to do it and how to stop them.
Losing a Super Bowl game is not a step to winning in the future. In the 1972 game the Cowboys beat Dolphins after losing to the Colts the year prior and then the following year 1973 Dolphins beat the Redskins to claim the Lombardi trophy. The Patriots winning in 2019 was the first team to have lost the year prior to win the big game in 46 years. In checking the history of the Super Bowl scores published by unknown, the nick name of the team is used in every case except the Redskins. At least I am consistent.
The decline of the teams is usually gradual like the Rams who will most likely lose the Conference Championship game next year, then maybe make it as a wild card in the third year. Those who have read this blog know how upset I was when the Niners lost 2013 game because I knew from history that the collapse was coming as proven.
After watching some the commercials I asked myself, What are they selling? And the half-time show, when I see all those kids jumping up and down in front of the stage, I say to myself, isn't that getting old? Know its my age and a generation gap but so what!
