We owe the NFL and its minions a
great debt of gratitude for Super Bowl XLVIII, a reprise of William Shakespeare’s
16th century comedy, ‘Much Ado About Nothing’.
After countless hours of
post-season, pre-game, in-depth analysis and breakdowns of the league’s best
defense squaring off against the league’s best offense, of scores of player
interviews, of Beast Mode, Omaha, betting lines, dozens of under-overs, weather
forecasts, Wes Welker impersonations of Dark Helmet and the promise of Roger
Goodell (gasp!) actually sitting outside while watching the game, what was
delivered?
1. A game that was never
competitive
2. A demonstration of just how
little creativity $4 million per 30-second commercial spot will buy
3. An evening with Joe Buck and
Troy Aikman, The Drone & Monotone Boys
4. An outstanding reason for
watching the new episode of Downton Abbey at 9:00 pm
Thank you. We can all now return
to our actual lives.
