I believe it’s a time honored tradition for fans to critique their favorite teams the morning after they’ve played important games. And what could be more important that the Super Bowl? So in the spirit of such quarterbacking, I offer my comments.
I rooted for the New York Giants from the beginning, and I was happy when they won Super Bowl Forty-Six. (I understand that younger enthusiasts had trouble with the Roman numerals. What a pity! But that’s another blog.) I cheered with the loudest. So my grumble has to do with the post-game kudos.
More than once there was a reference to the greatest game in the world. Or the winner was the winner of the world. Wait! The winning team was the winner of the Super Bowl, but that is not the same as saying the team is the greatest in the world. Much of the world doesn’t even understand or play football. To be honest it’s more interested in soccer.
Which means it’s enough of an achievement to win the Super Bowl that I don’t think we need to make it more than it is. The Giants are not the winners of the world; they’re merely the best in the current year’s schedule that culminated in Game X LVI in which no other countries competed.
I will say many of the commercials were entertaining.
