Championship Sunday - 2014

            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.
