I'm a marginal fan of professional sports, but when I have the Patriots playing in the Superbowl, I gotta watch, 'cause everyone else does. This game has grown over the years into a national spectacle. Someone sang "America the Beautiful" and someone else sang the "Star Spangled Banner". The camera traced over the faces of the players, who all had suitably reverent expressions. They did a flyover by the Thunderbirds. The game got under way. Tom Brady was amazing. Pass after pass, completed. They were mostly short, enough for a first down, but it seemed like he never missed. Everytime the Pats got the ball, Brady would march them down the field, like clockwork, until they scored a touchdown. He played the whole game, didn't get injured, although he looked a bit tired by the end. There were some fantastic plays. Some of the players sported weird hairdos, with shaggy hair sticking out a foot from under their helmets. The defense on both sides was amazing. Every pass receiver was covered, all the time. If the receiver caught the ball, he was tackled immediately and smashed into the turf. The game was in doubt right down to the last couple of minutes. No memorable commercials this year.
All in all, a good show.
