I know, one day in and I’ve already missed one of my
editions of The Daily Sport…my bad. But screw it, if I’m going to miss a day,
it’s going to be the Super Bowl Sunday that I’m bouncing between three
different Super Bowl party locations, play a full round of golf (quite awfully
on the Back 9 if I might add) and avoid a last-minute Wedding crisis with the fiancé.
Today’s Daily Sport focuses on what’s being called the “Super
Bowl” from last night. It was anything but “super” though as Seattle blew out
Denver 43-8 in one of the biggest routs in Super Bowl history. The word that
comes to mind is Wow. I was one of the few of those I know who picked the Seahawks
to win last night’s game; my final score prediction was actually 31-24 Seattle.
However, the way Richard Sherman (who I hate) Kam Chancellor, Cliff Avril,
Michael Bennett, Malcolm Smith, and the rest of the Seahawks dominated the game
truly did shock me.
Although I do feel the game was much closer than the final
score indicated, from the time Percy Harvin ran freely in open space (for the 3rd
time in the game) this time taking a kick return back for a touchdown, the game
was essentially out of reach. The Broncos were outplayed, outcoached, and out
and above, defeated in every single facet of the game. Russell Wilson outdueled
Peyton Manning when he only even needed to be competent for the Seahawks still
to manage a convincing easy victory.
My bold prediction, coming off of this incredible performance
is that one of these two teams won’t be among the final eight teams standing
come playoff time next year. Now I don’t know just how bold that is, but if
Peyton Manning returns for another season with the Broncos (which I think will
happen now following that performance last night), and the Seahawks can retain
even a good portion of their soon-to-be free agents, then it’s fairly safe to
assume that each will become a favorite among their conferences’ participants
to reach the Super Bowl again next season.
And although I don’t like him and was vehemently rooting
against him last night I must congratulate and throw “props” to Richard Sherman
to, no matter how inconceivable it might be, showed incredible respect and
sportsmanship in his tweets and handling of the Seattle fans trashing Peyton
Manning after the game.
Side note: my top 3 favorite commercials from last night in
order:
1: The Bud Light commercial(s):
A man has no idea he is being filmed for a Super Bowl ad
thinking he is having the night/experience of a lifetime straight out of the
Hangover but in real life.
2: The James Franco/Rob Riggle Ford commercial(s):
Rob Riggle and James Franco team up to show in déjà vu from
just how significant the Ford Fusion’s class-leading gas-mileage is.
3: Budweiser Puppy/Horse Commerical:
Budweiser tugs at the hearts and softer sides of viewers as
they document a puppy and horse’s budding friendship in a classic beer commercial.
And hell no, Tebow’s ad wasn’t even close to consideration
for my list.
Today will be better
than yesterday.
