Quote the Ravens Nevermore

Did you watch the Superbowl last night? What a bizarre game. Here are some of my random musings:
  • 34-31 Ravens. What a game.
  • San Francisco 49ers were hugely favored over the Baltimore Ravens, and maybe that is why the game commentators had nothing to say the first half when the Ravens stomped all over the 49ers. Comments like "the Baltimore Quarterback". Seriously? Did you mean Joe Flacco? I want a word count - how many times was Flacco mentioned as opposed to Kaepernick?
  • And the power outage. At the Super Bowl! Really? C'mon fess up, who was the 49er fan who pulled that plug?
  • And speaking of the the game commentators - did they really add any value to the game? Comments like "They will go for a safety", and "No they won't" do not help. Oh, and my personal fave: "Hidden deep in the rule book is a rule about a free kick". Huh? I need to find someone who really understands the game to stream while I watch. Hey John Madden are you live streaming these days?
  • Did love the fact that the coaches of the two teams were brothers. Anyone else think they look identical?
  • Was rooting for the Ravens - AFC after all - and loved texting with my family during the game. Such trash talk from the 49ers side of the family.
  • Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys rocked it. Beyonce, while fun to look at, not so much.
  • And the ads. Some of the most creative I've seen in ages.
  • A well deserved win for the Ravens, and the game MVP, yeah that Ravens QB Joe Flacco.
