Well sports fans, the big day has come and gone. Did anyone see it coming? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Super Bowl 46 was played between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants on February 5th. It was a rematch of a prior Super Bowl and not that exciting of a game, to be honest. Eli Manning played pretty good football. Brady lost it, or did Welker drop the pass? Could Brady pull of the 4th quarter win? The answer is no. The Giants won, and nobody was excited because we were all out shotgunning beers or something else more exciting than watching this game. I asked a Tom Brady fan for his take on the game, and this is part of our conversation:
Me: So we have the back story for Super Bowl 46. Brady’s redemption. Not talking about Eli because he’s always in the shadow. How was the feeling of the game before the 4th quarter?
Oz: It’s like if u got your ass kicked on the playground one day and 3 years later you see that kid again and scrap, it’s even more personal because he whooped your ass the first time when everybody said he couldn’t.
Me: So the game was boring, and the commercials sucked. Good thing we had beer. The 4th quarter is what we were all waiting for. Could Brady run his offense and pull out that last second, miracle drive to win the Super Bowl and be everybody’s hero??
Oz: I felt confident in the 4th quarter and knew it was going down. They interviewed Brady before the game and they asked him would he rather be up with one minute and have Eli with the ball OR be DOWN with a minute to go with him having the ball. He immediately said, “I want the ball.” I think he even knew it was coming down to that.
Me: So you think the Pats as a team were the cause for “Bradying” rather than the man himself?
Oz: Ultimately from just a fan of the game, the entire team should be Bradying after that loss. I mean Brady played well. Did he have the best game of his career? No. But he played well enough to give his team a shot. I think at one point he completed like 13 passes in a row without his main threat. The game wasn’t all that great. No spectacular plays that will live in infamy besides Welker’s drop come to mind. It was just another excuse to eat finger foods and consume lots of beer while wearing your favorite player’s jersey. Not to mention, the obligatory halftime football show. You all go out feeling like you’re making moves like Gronkowski but end up pulling your quad. Smooth… Next time, we’ll discuss the NFL draft coming up which means football season isn’t as far off as it sounds.
