5th Quarter (Super Bowl Edition)

Some thoughts from the Super Bowl:

1. When Mike McCarthy took over the Packers six years ago he had to address the fact that when he was the offensive cooridinator of the 49ers he chose Alex Smith over Rodgers. this is how the conversation went in his first meeting with Rodgers: "I didn't pick, now get over it!" I'm pretty sure Rodgers did.

2. Did anyone else notcie Christina Aguleria brutalized the National Anthem?

3. Aaron Rodgers was on FIRE for the playoffs!! Steve Young believes when all the stats are counted it was the greatest postseason run ever. That's saying something.

4. Neither defenses were not all that great. The packers defense were more opportunistic than the Steelers.
5. He will never let on but Troy Polamula had to be hurt. He did not look like himself. He was a step or two slower than normal.
6. Before Rashard Mendenhall fumbled the ball, he was on his way to being named the Super Bowl MVP. The Packers had no answer for him.

7. That was a great play by Clay Matthews on stripping the ball and finishing the play.

8. Why in the world are people blasting the Black Eyes Peas performnce? That was inovative, energetic with tons of surprises. it showed the versatility as artist, as well. Well done and I hope the NFL continues to use younger mor relevant performers (besides Justin Bieber).

9.I feel bad for Mike Tomlin. I would love to play for him. Tomlin is a classy guy who offered up no excuses on why his team loss.
10. Before we call the Packers a "Dynasty", can they at least win two championships?

11. Thought most of the commercials were pretty lame. My best were the Doritos licking the finger and the VW Darth Vader kid.

Congrats to the Green Bay Packers and all their fans on a tremendous and magical season. Let's just hope there is football in September.

Basketball post start later this week. Thanks for reading.
