Happy Super Bowl Sunday! This is a national holiday, as my old edition of Madden used to put it. Playing Madden, I discovered that the way to get to and win the Super Bowl was to always play with difficulty set to rookie. One time, in Franchise Mode, my team won 30 straight Super Bowls. And yet none of the players involved in setting that amazing record made it into the Hall of Fame.
As far as I can tell, no one in this video will be playing in this year’s Super Bowl.
Enjoy!
Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
The Super Bowl just ended so I guess it’s time to recap the reaction of the members of the TSL Team who watched and tweeted about it. Jeff, Erin, Case, Leonard, and I all watched and …. I don’t know. The game kind of sucked this year. I didn’t care about the game and I thought that commercials were kind of boring.. Case thought the commercials were depressing. Leonard got so bored that he left for ice cream. Jeff and Erin are mad that the Bengals lost. Even though it wasn’t as bad as last year, there was still weren’t as many movie commercials as in the past.
I think our collective reaction can be summed up as this:
There was apparently some hope at the start of the second half, when the game started get exciting:
But in the end, the Super Bowl and the commercials just didn’t deliver:
It all led to one question:
Yep, that was it.
Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
Enjoy!
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and for you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying
“I love you”
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh yeah
Today was probably the most low-key Super Bowl Sunday is the history of the Shattered Lens.
The reasons for that are fairly obvious. The Super Bowl is tradition. It’s something that people look forward to as a sign of normalcy and continuity. Some people care about the game. Some people care about the commercials. But the main thing is that the Super Bowl is always there and it’s always a big deal. This year, though, was different.
For one thing, the commercials were different. Usually, we struggle to keep up with all of the movie advertisements but this year, there were only four to share. For another things, no one really had a team in the game. Jeff was excited about Tom Brady winning another Super Bowl. Leonard wanted anyone but Brady to win. But it’s not like anyone here at the TSL is a huge fan of either Kansas City or Tampa Bay.
So, it was a subdued Super Bowl Sunday. Everyone observed it in their own way:
In the end, the team that score the most points won so congratulations to them! Here’s hoping that next year’s Super Bowl’s commercials will be a little bit more memorable.
