By traditional standards, I am told whether I wish to hear it or not, this Super Bowl was very boring.
The facts:
According to The New York Times: “It was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever, a universally agreed-upon snoozefest. The halftime show was forgettable. The commercials were tame.”
According to CBS: Some 98.2 million people watched the New England Patriots defeat the Los Angeles Rams, 13-3, on CBS, the smallest television audience since 2008.
The story behind the match:
The two teams playing were the Los Angeles Rams and The New England Patriots.
The drama behind the match:
One team that almost made it to the Super Bowl, the New Orleans Saints, were denied the opportunity . Fans of the Saints had a sense of indignation, as if the big moment was stolen from them. Why ? They feel their team was the victims of poor refereeing . The Saints lost to the Rams in the N.F.C. championship game after a blown call helped the Rams send the game to overtime. The N.F.L.’s commissioner, Roger Goodell, later admitted the call was blown.
First the hometown of the winners—-
First the hometown of the losers—-
From the New Orleans newspaper….(and best of show)!
