From A Simple Mind Breaks Down Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is over for another year. and this one started out exciting. But
ended up predictable. I don’t know what happen to the Bears, but they seem to lose heart and the game mostly by the 2nd Quarter. I had no favorite team this time, so just appreciated both teams. I know that Manning got the MVP or what ever it is. Kind of sad in a way as there were no award to the young man who made his first touch down since he started. Or for the young man name Addai who did so well. But they won and they won fairly. I don’t think there was any body who thought the calls were unfair. The other nice thing about this year is the two coaches. Both black men… the part that was hard to believe, is they were the first black coaches, in the Super Bowl. There should have been others, sooner. The other nice part was neither one was shy about being men of God. They said both coaches are quiet men, even in the locker room and on the field. Maybe they can be a beginning of how football can be played without the killer mentality as in the past. Maybe, football players will follow and not be in trouble and in the headlines. I tip my hat to both coaches, they deserve it in many ways — Cis Gors/From A Simple Mind.

DFO: I really enjoy this break-down of the Super Bowl by Cis, who admits she didn’t have a horse in this race. I appreciate the things that Cis found important — things that would be overlooked by hyperactive play-by-play and color commentators. I enjoyed the fumbles and big plays of the first half. And that Coach Tony Dungy and QB Peyton Manning finally won the big one.

Question: What did you like most about the Super Bowl?
