Best Super Bowl Ever

I’ve seen many Super Bowls in my time, but this year’s was one of the greatest.  From the beginning rock, paper, scissors match to decide who would get first possession, I could tell the Falcons had this in the bag.  They came out skating strong, and their slapshots were flawless.  The 76ers didn’t stand a chance, even with their star pitcher, Allen Iverson on the mound.

The first half of the match, the Falcons were completely dominating, protecting their wickets when necessary while knocking over the 76ers’ wickets when the opportunities arose.  Which was a lot.  Did you even see Michael Jordon grab that snitch on his Nimbus 2000?  He certainly scored a few birdies and even an eagle, if I recall correctly.

The 76ers did not go goal-less in the first half, however.  Their defense and offense were lacking, but they managed to score a few goals as a result of a Falcons hand-ball penalty.  Thank God for that, too, or else the first half may have been incredibly boring to watch.  I don’t think I saw one gutter ball in that entire half.

Things really started to get interesting in the second half, however, after an amazing half-time performance by my favorite band, One Direction.  Those British kids really brought down the house, since the power went out in the Boston Garden for a while, postponing much of the 3^rd quarter for a little, and giving the 76ers a chance to rest up for an epic comeback.

Once the lights were back on, the 76ers rallied and got a few unanswered homeruns, bringing the game from a complete no-hitter all the way to a one-possession nail-biter.  Unfortunately for the 76ers, the Falcons were able to sink some clinch free throws in the last few minutes of the game, preventing the 76ers from getting a slam dunk in the last lap.

After the game was all done, the MVP award was given to Roger Clemens, though I really thought it should have gone to Tiger Woods.  He seems like a really solid guy.
