Super Bowl L Impressions

The hoopla the NFL concocts around the championship game saved the day. The contest itself was mediocre. An overconfident young quarterback was hammered in a way he hadn't been all year, by the end you could tell he had given up. Who doesn't jump on a ball after a fumble?

 

Payton Manning should retire while on top. He's still a force to contend with at his age, but his best days are over. Remind me again why the Colts released him when they did? The man won his 200th game, more than any other quarterback ever in the league. Classy man headed straight into the Hall of Fame.

 

The half-time show was filled with subtle reminders Levi's Stadium is home to a team from San Francisco. There were rainbow flags and colors to remind us the City by the Bay has a thriving gay population. There were flowers and tie-dye designs evoking the Flower Power generation and the legacy of Haight-Ashbury. And there was Chris Martin, wearing a GLOBAL CITIZEN shirt during the performance, evoking the area liberal, humanitarian concerns. Clips of previous performances brought a smile to my face, although the back-toback shot of The Boss and The Big Guy was bittersweet. I'll think of Clarence Clemons everytime I see or hear a saxophone for as long as I live.

 

The commercials? Meh! Nothing special and I admit I missed a few while using the facilitiess.The old line held true: you only rent beer. Maybe it's the Miami Dolphin fan in me, but I did enjoy Dan Marino and Alec Baldwin sparring over their failure to win a championship or an Oscar.

 

Time to switch my attention to the NCAA--March Madness is around the corner--and the NBA.

Beyonce and Bruno Mars ruined what could have been an awesome performance by one of the best modern rock bands.

I'm with Matt! Coldplay should have performed alone. Maybe having Beyonce come in for a duet since they've collaborated on a song and she and Chris are friends in real life.

 

And I've never understood the fascination some men have for performers like Madonna, Gaga, Beyonce and others like them. Hell the couple of songs I've paid attention to from Beyonce could have been penned by an 8 year old they're so simplistic.With her, the song from A Chorus Line comes to mind: it's all tits and ass.

 

Bring back Springsteen and the E Street Band! Although a Motown reveu with whomever's still alive from their stable would also be nice.I'd be dancing in the streets to that music. :P

To each their own. Personally, I can go for any of those. I just have one simple requirement: That the music is good. ;)

 

Oh, and the game? Passed on it this year. Didn't care for the match-up. :P (Though if forced to choose, Carolina losing makes me happy. ;) I can't stand the Panthers.)
