I wanted Green Bay and Pittsburgh to play in the Super Bowl — that would have made it really hard for me to pick. Gotta say, though, that this was a wonderful ball game. I got kinda excited for Matt Ryan and Atlanta; they started out strong. And I was sorry that they couldn’t have sustained, maintained, and won! But ya gotta hand it to Brady and the Pats — they kept totally cool and focused and won in a great come-from-way-behind effort. And it was the first-ever overtime super bowl game. Which says a lot.
What I really loved was Lady Gaga! New York City’s own Stefani Germanotta out-did herself! They opened the roof of the domed stadium for her to drop through. I was impressed with her themes of patriotism and inclusion — concepts greatly needed in these uncertain times. With her authentic athleticism, memorable costumes, very special guests, wonderful back-up performers, and and all the drones — it was a spectacular performance, a truly super show!
Best of all — I loved it when Lady Gaga gave a special SO to her parents, apparently seated (or standing) near the stage. I can only imagine how proud of her they must be — it hasn’t been easy, but look at her now. She is literally at the top of the game!
