Super Bowl Confessions of a Patriots Fan

Like most of America, I sat down and watched the Bears take on the Colts... I anxiously awaited new amazing commercials that would be the talk of the water cooler tomorrow.

Working in an ad agency, i probably should have paid more attention, but the whole event was dull. Well, the Pats weren't in it so I guess it just was a down experience. And after all the excitement this week from the Adult Swim bomb scare how can a beer commercial compete?

I was cheering for the Bears for bitter vengeful reasons. And after the coin toss I had high hopes. Devin Hester opened up an early lead with a opening kick-off return touchdown. And without boring you with a recap that you can easily read on ESPN.com, the Colts won.

But did Peyton deserve the MVP trophy? No.

While he was good in his normal manner, his efforts were not the key to Victory. The defense played exceptionally well and as all the commentators stated, were the worst rush D in the regular season, but were able to shut down the Bears offense. Granted Rex Grossman has been an inconsistent and dismal helmsman, the Bears were a decent run team. The Colts outperformed the reknowned Midway Monsters. But the real offensive success of the Colts came from Rhodes and Addai and not Peyton's passing, why didn't one of them win the award?

But Peyton was going to be crowned before the game started, the greatest regular season QB finally reached the grand stage and barring an amazing Grossman performance was going to win.

But the game from start to finish was uncaptivating. The NFL has opted for uninteresting half time shows since the Janet Jackson incident and it caused me to fall asleep and I am sure many others to take extended bathroom breaks. And because of that the commercials suffered.

Makes me look forward to work tomorrow and any Super Bowl that can do that did not meet its goal... but, the Red Sox open spring training in a few short weeks!
