Nor will I. As Roger Goodell watched from stands, he must have been thinking that this highly-uninteresting game was a gargantuan bust for “NFL, Inc”...
CAPTION: "Oh, God, The Most Boring Team Ever is About to Win My Superbowl!"
This was indeed the most impotent Superbowl, for both the winning team and losing team, that I’ve ever witnessed. No offense for either team, a myriad of inexplicable mistakes, cheap touchdowns, horrendous tackling and fundamentals, eyebrow-raising turnovers, wretched “effort” by various players, and the exhibition of very low football IQ. I find some solace in the fact that last night, the NFL brand was damaged.
I also noticed this humorous play. The more compelling question is why didn’t Moreno attempt to knock down Manning’s pass, which seemed to float for hours, to avoid the interception?

It was humorous to watch the portly LB, Malcolm Smith, show off his 6” vertical leap and attempt a “dunk” over the goalpost…
CAPTION: The Myth of Black Athletic Supremacy Gets REJECTED!
As for “other” festivities (pre-game, commercials, announcing, halftime, corporate decadence, Cultural Marxism, etc), they weren’t so objectionable when contrasted against previous years. There was the vehemently-repugnant interracial Cheerio’s commercial, the Coca Cola commercial that Foobar75 mentioned, the ultra-annoying reverence of those who serve in the Western Israeli (by way of the U.S.) Armed Forces, and not too much else.
As for Manning, it’s difficult to “feel sorry” for a player who’s already won a Superbowl and sports a net worth in excess of $170 million dollars. Aside from Decker’s 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] 1,000-yard campaign, there was little excitement surrounding the Bolshevik Broncos this season. Think of what occurred in the span of one year…
1) Jim Leonard, Justin Bannan, Keith Brooking, Jacob Hester, Chris Gronkwoski, Mike Mohamed, Blake Gideon, and Brandon Stokley were racially purged in the off-season.
2) Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen were benched in favor of “Orange Julius.”
3) Dan Koppen and Chris Kuper were injured/replaced by obese Mexicans on the interior line.
4) Starting MLB, Stewart Bradley, was injured.
5) Derek Wolfe suffered a spinal injury, recovered, and was invisible after returning.
6) Mitch Unrein barely played at DT.
7) Wes Welker went from a league-leading superstar WR to a concussed afterthought.
It’s very difficult to feel sorry for a team that seems so committed to ridding themselves of white players. Sure, some were a result of injuries, but their descent in Casteon Hell was a swift as the 2010 Packers following their Superbowl Championship.
