Super Bore!

Yawn!   Just think, I could have spent the entire SuperBowl 48 in the restroom or leaning on the edge of a bar watching the Puppy Bowl or a rerun of Heidi,  would have been more interesting. Heck,  oiling my hair or trimming my mustache would have given me more joy.

The game, was lop-sided and lacking energy for Denver.  Why is it that the NFC and AFC Championship games are more superbowl-ish than the big game itself these days?  Perhaps, except for Superbowl 47, the Har-bro game thanks to the brotherly love conflict between big brother John and envious wannabe little bro, Jim ( Baltimore Ravens/San Francisco 49ers),  and the big power outage event.  Even Bruno Mars brought it like Beyonces' boodie last year, was on the mark!

Conspiracy lovers blame Las Vegas for pulling the plug on the electric grid, Denver needed a power outage last night.  Where was the Vegas Conspirators? 

I see an entire new industry,  stress management for teams the day before the game.  Imagine, relaxation chairs, motivational dvd and satellite feeds to help players focus on the task at hand.  I see a cool guy with a robe, sandals and a staff looking like Charleston Hesston in the Ten Commandments giving them Holy Grail instructions to help them show up during the game and score points.  

The commercials were even tired and blah!   Perhaps,  launching them before the Superbowl is a bad idea and then not showing your pre-promoted ads during the first half hour is another disaster.  Perhaps advertisers do not understand their role for the SuperBowl..  It is your duty to be bigger than life,  to offer that belly laugh or wow, no way experience.  Maybe, Ad makers are tired from designing ads for broadcast, cable, and online.  Super commercials for Super Bowl, ad geeks, please!
Yawn!

The hunt for the Superbowl is about the drama, the give and take, the back and forth, and the build.  The only build was the score for Seattle and how even penalties made by Seattle, didn't hinder their thematic build.  Hopefully, every Seattle fan (although, I am tired of the 12th man hype) celebrated the victory. They deserve the kudos.  Russell Wilson, deserves the credit of overcoming height jokes, and draft comments.   He is a powerhouse that deserves credit for making his team run to victory.

Remember, any team wanting to play in the big game, please show up for the big day! More than three to five players have to show up.  Thanks for trying Peyton Manning and Wes Welker. 

For future Superbowl fans,  we need a plan B to prevent Superbowl Boredom.  Have a theme party just in case, like a Beatle or Motown party or a best scenes in gangster movies event and have a child in the other room watching just in case something happens in the third or fourth quarter. Perhaps, a road rally party where people can drive to each others homes and eat and see if anything interesting is happening on the football field, other than clean up from the halftime show.

We all need something to prevent that Yawn, let's go to bed feeling.  Well, anyway onto St. Patricks Day.  That won't disappoint!
