Super Bowl XLVIII. A place where only two teams can go. A place where dreams come true. A place where
only one team will prevail. A place that took an astonishing amount of passion
and hard work to get too. Met Life Stadium; New Jersey. Sunday February 2nd
2014. The home of Super Bowl 48. The place where Peyton Manning and the Broncos
will face off against Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. The best offence coming
from AFC and the best defense coming from NFC. Essentially the best of the
best.
I’m going
to be completely honest here. I’m pretty bitter after my 49ers lost to the
Seahawks last night, but we’ll talk about that in a little bit.
For now,
lets talk about the show that Peyton Manning put on for us Sunday afternoon.
The show being titled “The legacy of Peyton Manning; OHMAHA”. Manning’s 400
yard, 0 turnovers, 0 sacs performance, is what is taking the Denver Broncos to
the Super Bowl for the first time in 15 years. This will be Manning’s 3rd
Super Bowl appearance in the last 8 years. What Manning has on the line going
into the Super Bowl is “Legendary Status”. In my own personal opinion, I
believe that Manning has nothing to prove. To me, he’s already shown the world
that he is an elite quarterback with that “Legendary Status”. But of course, in
the world of professional sports, winning the huge games is what it takes to be
a legend. This AFC Championship game was a huge one for Manning. He had all the
right answers in the game, and they all hid in that one word… “OHMAHA”
As for
Brady and the Patriots; Better luck next year?
On to the
49ers vs. Seahawks game. The rivalry game that every football fan has been
yearning to watch in the postseason. Boy, oh boy did football fans across North
America get a treat while watching Sunday’s 6 o’clock game. Two of the best
defenses in all of the NFL facing off in the loudest stadium/field in pro
sports. Of course we were in for a treat. The first half of the game was San
Fran. San Fran. San Fran. In the first half alone Colin Kaepernick rushed for
101 yards, which is 2nd most in postseason history, next to Steve
Young. San Fran’s defensive line had 4
sacks by the end of the first half. The second half was when the tables had
slightly turned. With a combination of bad breaks, and bad calls, the 49ers
lost the game. At the end of the game it was losers with class vs. winners with
no class. Richard Sherman’s post game interview with Erin Andrews showed the
world the kind of person he really was; an asshole.
Both games
during championship Sunday were games that captivated us. Games that we will
remember, whether it be because of post game interviews or because of the fact
that the worlds two best current QB’s faced off. That’s something for you to
decide.
Something
else for you to decide; Broncos? Seahawks? It’s your call football fans.
