The Greatest Super Bowl ever?
Verbal Jazz correctly predicted that the team that scored the most points would win the Super Bowl. Thankfully that team is the Patriots. Most Super Bowl postmortems will discuss point to the Panthers failure on two two-point conversion attempts, how the low-scoring defensive game gave way to a high scoring offensive game, the Patriots squib kick, the Panthers shanked kickoff, the 85 yard Super Bowl touchdown record, Adam Vinatieri kicking another Super Bowl game winning kick, and, of course Janet Jackson's boob. As for Ms. Jackson's boob, Verbal Jazz prefers to see this as a publicity stunt, and, yes, I did see it. Verbal Jazz will not be discussing any of these actual keys to the game (exposed breasts mean a lot to the outcome of football games: witness all the shirtless fools in twenty-degree weather in Buffalo).
The real keys to the Patriots win:
* Verbal Jazz wore his t-shirt commemorating the Patriots victory in Super Bowl XXXVI
* Kerry (NE) v. Edwards (CAR) on the football field
* Lack of real pressure on the Patriots because of 1918
* Pats fans made sure to note that the Panthers were a pretty good football team.
* Carolina fans need some suffering
* Not once did the crowd watching the game at the House of Verbal Jazz chant: "P-A-T-S! Pats! Pats! Pats!"
* Verbal Jazz never took it as a given that the Patriots would win
* God, the micromanager, dictated the result as part of a master plan involving a lifelong domination of a New York baseball team over a Boston baseball team.
* Tom Brady's appearance at the State of the Union. Now, an appearance at the State of the Union address by a quarterback appearing in the big game will become a tradition.
* The inevitable Bob Kraft (Patriots owner) rambling speech was not to be missed.
The Mother-in-Law breakdown
The Mother-in-Law of Verbal Jazz was not at all impressed with the halftime show. After she made disparaging remarks about Kid Rock, there was some question as to whether anyone at the House of Verbal Jazz is a Kid Rock fan. Verbal Jazz made sure to note that because his Mother-in-Law thought Kid Rock unkempt, that he had been a Kid Rock fan for at least 45 seconds.
The Mother-in-Law did weigh in on such important topics as: Pam Anderson and Kid Rock, the Bennifer Break-up, whether J-Lo was back with P. Diddy, and the Pepsi commercial in which the kids can download free songs (she's on the side of the record companies and did not appreciate the values promoted by the ad).
Wager Protocol? What business does Boston Mayor, Tom Menino, have making a PR bet (you know, where mayors offer a friendly wager of foodstuffs that are associated with their town or region in order to get their names in the news) with the mayor of Charlotte, N.C.? Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots play, is some thirty miles from Boston. Not exactly the domain of Mayor Menino. Are the Foxboro board of selectmen and/or town administrator not good enough to bet on the team that actually plays in their town?
Have they no shame?
If a man can go shirtless, why is it as scandal for a woman to show off her baby feeders? Just a question.
I sometimes hang my head in shame
The drunks all came out to celebrate the Pats victory. Cars were overturned and there was at least one death as a result of drunk driving: a car plowed into a crowd of people. |
