SUPER BOWL XLIX

Who knew that Super Bowl number 49

Would be decided at the 1-yard line?

Well, we knew that it would have been close since the score was all knots at halftime

But with 20 seconds left on the Seahawks’ final drive

And witnessed Kearse pull off a miraculous catch on the previous play to keep their hopes alive

When Butler intercepted Wilson’s pass I couldn’t believe my eyes

Talk about a plot twist even Hollywood would be surprise

Apparently the decision to throw instead of run

Is said to have come from Pete Carroll not Russell Wilson

So close yet so far. It would have been the game-winning touchdown.

Hindsight is 20/20, for the Patriots it was a blessing, for the Seahawks it was a dumb move

Given the fact that Marshawn Lynch was already in the Skittles-induced Beast Mode Groove

Undoubtedly the best RB of the season and the Playoffs that’s what his stats prove

While on the field, the stars were the Patriots and the Seahawks

During the halftime production the other stars Katy Perry and Missy Elliot raised the roof

But they were upstaged by a giant mechanical lion and two dancing sharks

Especially the Internet meme- the one on the left who seem to be running out of breath

Super Bowl is also famous for the viewership just for the halftime commercial ads

And this year, they were mostly good, none really terribly bad

Most played it safe, no commercial was really controversial, no advertisement needed chastisement

Back to the game, Russell Wilson by throwing instead of running committed the cardinal sin

And paid the ultimate price and lost the Super Bowl that was his to win

As for the greatness that is Tom Brady, I don’t know where to begin

Another 3 Super Bowl TDs to make it 12 for #12 and another title and another ring

Aside from the records, Brady, Gronk, Edelman and Belichick overcame the picks, interceptions and sacks

And the ‘Deflate-Gate’ controversy to lead a 4th Quarter comeback

And deny the Defending Champions and odds on favourites a repeat victory

Now I join the rest of the world in awaiting the excitement of Super Bowl 50
