SUPER GAME
Any way you look at it — it was a great, fun game. Just right!
I kind of planned my day around watching this ball game. I haven’t really followed either team that much. But the commentators filled in all the gaps. In the build-up, they talked about the histories of the teams and of past Super Bowl games. They made predictions on the outcome of this one. And throughout the game, they commented on the plays, the players, the coaches, and all the reactions to action on the field. I am always fascinated by the statistics they present, knowing that some statistician somewhere is busily feeding them the numbers that reveal so much about the players, the coaches, and the game.

In a way, I am glad that Philadelphia won. Their young quarterback is smart and aggressive — so is Tom Brady, of course! But not so young as Nick Foles, of course. Anyway, it was a close game with intense action throughout and down-to-the-wire suspense. The coaches were daring on the play-calling. The players were inspired, and inspiring, in execution.
Today’s game was just what I’d like a major sporting event to be — fun and exciting and satisfying. Also — I love the stadium! It is very beautiful and very futuristic. And, even with outdoor temperatures below 10 degrees — inside the US Bank Stadium — well, I wouldn’t want that heating bill !!
