The game was awful.
About as boring as talking to my aunt Jeanie about her last trip in the RV.
There was no offense, and its not like either defense was playing terrific. It was just a pathetic performance by both teams. 16 total points scored? And 10 of them after the midway point of the 4th quarter? No thanks.
The officiating was its usual suspect version of itself. A call that can go either way? Advantage Patriots. Every time.
I was honestly hoping at some point the Rams punter would win the MVP. And come to think of it, I have no idea who did, and don't really care after that snoozer....
And so, I started doing other things sometime after halftime and didn't watch much football-like-substance after that.
The commercials were pretty bad. Most had already been released. A few were cute, but not memorable. It was not great from that standpoint, either.
And that halftime show? At some point, I turned down the volume and turned on "Up With People" and wondered aloud if this was any better or worse than the LIII version of a halftime show?
Hint: they were both pretty bad, but at least "UP" had some production quality.
And we also watched some frisbee dog halftime shows we found online since the halftime went on for hours. And those dogs were MUCH better than whatever was on my tv...
This morning, I was reminded of the movie from the same timeframe as "UP" - "Heaven Can Wait" which was about a QB for the Rams who dies and then is put into a new body and takes the team to the Superbowl. Yeah, that movie for all its 70s campiness would have been a better use of several hours.
Thanks for the hype for a bad game, NFL. You proved again why football is just a waste of time.
