New England Patriots (15-4) 28 Seattle Seahawks (14-5) 24 Recap

4:39

Well...well...well.  A super game for a SuperBowl! Here is 5 of our thoughts: #1.   Love them or hate them...The Patriots of New England...are the best team these eyes have seen in our life time. #2.  The singing of the National Anthem and the "fly-by" ....was simply...awesome! #3.  Let's get the Grambling State Marching Band ...back for the half-time entertainment.  Enough already of these MTV-Techno concerts.     #4.  The only commercial that moved me?   The Brady Bunch...Snickers...with that Mexican Actor.   #5.  A game of inches....Tell me...truthfully....When Seattle completed that miraculous pass in the final minute....You and all watching....just knew the Sea Hawks were going to win!   They did not!  Inches short....then...THE...interception!

"Deflate-Gate"...Please Go Away!

Enough already!

It is an oblong object made of pigskin...no less.  So the New England Patriots use footballs that were under inflated during their dominance of the Indianapolis Colts last week.

Funny thing...When made aware of the deflated balls...the refs made the Patriots play the 2nd half with the "right" balls.   And New England put up even more points than they did in  the first half.

The NFL is reportedly still investigating.  They have interviewed 40 + .

Why?  The QB...Tom Brady...and the coach....have already said they knew nothing.   Did nothing wrong.

Too many hours....to much attention...has been given to....a ball & it's PSI.

Can we get back to talking about...dare I say?

The Super Bowl?

In this small southern college town...it is a gray January day.  Kind of dreary looking outside.
