Well the Superbowl is over- thank goodness! If you follow me
on Facebook or Twitter, you know that I really got involved in this game. What you
may not know is that I don’t follow football on the regular. Not via the NFL anyway.
My son has been a student of the game since he was 6 so I follow the sport in
that capacity for much of the year. I used to be a more avid viewer- the San
Francisco 49ers continue to be my favorite team. Of course since I discovered a
family that goes by the name of Ramsey I’ve been a big fan of the Seattle
Seahawks as Seattle is where the Ramseys hail from.
I was asked to do a commentary on the game and must admit I
am woefully unqualified for this job. My author buddy Cheris Hodges would
probably be a much better commentator, but I’ll do my best to provide a little
recap. I observe the game as a parent but otherwise infrequent spectator. However,
I know enough about the sport to question the strange call made by the Coach
during the final seconds of the game. Long story short, the Quarterback threw a
pass when he probably should have run the ball into the end zone, my Seattle
folks lost the biggest game of the year and I just about lost my voice yelling some
pretty unsavory comments at the TV. And let's not forget the ugly brawl that took place moments after the Seahawks
realized all was lost- yeah...it was quite a night!
Overall, this year’s biggest game was one of the best I’d
seen in years. Full of highs and lows, lots of occasions to cheer and a
surprisingly good Halftime show. Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott came out to
lend their talents to Katy Perry’s performance- it was very enjoyable not to
mention all the delicious snacks I made sure were on hand to enhance the night.
Hopefully my 49ers will be next on the big stage to duke it
out. ‘Til next year folks!
