Belated Super Bowl Recap
This blog template and lack of ads to make money off of you all is irritating me. As a result, I have been too lazy to post much. Fuck it…
Blog babble aside, let us move on to the issues at hand: Super Bowl XLII
Let me start off by saying, HAHAHAHAHA
I am not a Giants or Patriots fan. Nor am I even anti-Patriots anti-dynasty like many out there. It would’ve been epic to see them go 19-0 and be able to say that it happened in our lifetime.
However, seeing a dejected Tom Brady was priceless. It’s as if he knew he was going to win, and then when a retard-strong Eli Manning threw a TD pass to Top Five candidate Plaxico Burress, Brady’s world was turned upside down. As much as anyone celebrated at the time, everyone knew it wasn’t the end. Tom Brady game-winning drives are stuff of legend, and people sure as hell knew there could potentially be something special brewing.
But for whatever reason, Brady had already conceded defeat. Taking the field for the final drive, he looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Aborted was the season-long efficient Patriots offense that spread the field, involved everyone, and was able to get the yardage and result needed. Granted, the Giants defense had smothered him all game, led by a gapey-grinning, flexing Michael Strahan, but were the deep bombs really necessary that soon? Field goal range was all they needed to force overtime, but instead Brady hoisted hail mary after hail mary to seal the outcome.
Whatever the reasoning, at least it assured this: many an undernourished, underprivileged African youth will be sporting “Patriots Super Bowl XLII Champions” hats and learning English from the almost-bestseller “19-0: The Historic Championship Season of the Unbeatable Patriots” - pulled straight off of Amazon and dumped into the third world.
At least 18-1 will prove to be a great humanitarian effort.
