He Finally Did It

Peyton Manning and the Colts finally won a Superbowl. Yippee! Let's celebrate... NOT. No but really he deserved it. However, to be honest Tony Dungy deserved it more. He has to be one of the nicest men in football period and after what he went through last year with his son's suicide, he deserves nothing more. I wouldn't even be surprised if he called it quits and spent time with the rest of his family, although reports are saying that he is leaning towards coming back.

Okay I'll admit it, Peyton deserved it. He has been the best quarterback in the NFL for the last 6 or 7 years. He finally beat the Pats in the playoffs and I knew they were going to win. Ask anyone. I called it. It was destiny. It was exactly like the Red Sox beating the Yankees for the American League Pennant (and the Colts even came back against the Pats almost as improbably as the Sox comeback was). They beat their biggest nemesis and that was all they needed to finally get over the top. So for the only time in my life I am going to congratulate the Colts and Peyton Manning. Congratulations guys you deserved.

Now in terms of the game itself, can you say boring and terrible? Yeah Devin Hester is a beast and ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown, but after that the game got sloppy and boring. Everyone is always saying that the Superbowl can't be played up north because of the cold and snow, but honestly how much different would it have been from last night's game? Personally, snow would have been better to see anyways. Oh and don't even start with me about the half time show. Who made that decision to have Prince perform? So he had great special effects, but the music was terrible. What is going on with these old time acts doing the half time show? Isn't it meant to draw in fans not make them change the channel because personally that is what I wanted to do, although didn't because I was hoping for him or one of the dancers to slip and fall on the wet stage to provide some entertainment. Why didn't they have Billy Joel do the halftime show instead of the national anthem. Now that would have been a show.

By the way, Rex Grossman showed his true self last night and don't even tell me it was the weather's fault. Peyton had no trouble completing passes and actually hanging onto the ball. Grossman is a terrible quarterback who has a great team around him. He has average games and everyone talks him up. This is who he really is people. He is a quarterback from Florida. That is all that needs to be said.

Superbowl prediction for next year: Patriots over the Saints 28-24

I think that's it for now. Time to go do some work and depress over the Bruins, although they have played better the past 2 games. Leave your comments and your Superbowl predictions for next season. I will be back with more soon. Enjoy boys and girls. Goodnight
