the old man of the sea

THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA

nfl.com

last week i told my wife she
dont plan anything for me on sunday
i want to watch both those playoff games

i really wanted to watch the old man play
to see if he could do it again

that old man is
tom brady
in football years
40 is old
unless i guess you are like a kicker or something
but
a quarterback is different
you have to
have so many skills
be mentally fit
good arm strength
have the ability to scramble some
have the ability to hold up to all those crushing blows
that quarterbacks have to take

now
as far as 40 year old quarterbacks go
he seems to be in much better condition
mentally
physically

my guess he is better conditioned than some
of the younger quarterbacks

now
he is known to be in super condition
both
physically and mentally
he eats a well regimented diet

when you look at him play
he dont look 40 years old

i am sure a lot of nfl owner teams
would love to have this 40 year old quarterback

now
unlike a lot of folks
i want brady to win it all again
he can set records that probably no one
will ever break

so yes
im rooting for brady
a player for the ages

then
i sort of like the nick foles story
he is on his 3rd or 4th team
he has had one good year
but
now this is his biggest opportunity coming up in 2 weeks
as
the super bowl quarterback
will he be known as the one that knocked brady
out of his last chance for another super bowl win

many of us who lived in the austin area know foles
he played at drew brees high school
then off to arizona
then got drafted
then his nfl carreer is as above

if he wins
i want be disappointed
since the story line will be a good one
just
not as good or as big as tom bradys

go pats

wow

WOW
thats what i said
about the game
about the half time show

my wife she said that though
after the mr clean commercial
i can clean like that i told her

now
i am well known to not make it past halftime for football games
especially the super bowl
i have not completed the games for years
but
thank goodness for two things

first
lady gagas halftime show
it energized me so much that i was wide awake for the second half
those drones zooming around making those stars
were well
amazing but scary in a way
what is coming in the future

i think she has matured over the years
actually
like my wife she said
he was good for her
he was a good influence
that tony bennet

however
by the start of the fourth quarter
i was doopy eyed
ok
i missed half of the third quarter
but
the second thing
its called dvr

now i will admit i got up this morning
i said
ill just read about the game instead of watching the
final quarter
theres no way even tom brady can beat atlanta
but
something whispered in my head
watch it buddy
dont do like trump did and stop watching it
bet he was disappointed he didnt
since
his 3 boys won

so
i did
at 400am this morning
i cant believe i didnt wake my wife she up
yelling
grunting
but
i didnt thank goodness

what a great game it was
what a great quarterback brady is
i must admit he looks like he is in his 20s
now
i didnt watch to see who got mvp
since
theres no way anyone else but him won it

now i did want to watch though
to see if
right before he shook goodell the commissioners hand
if he spit in his own hand before he shook his hand
i bet he did
or
at least thought about it

i say brady retire now
there is no way you can top this

on the commercials
my favorite one was the skittle one
short simple funny

there were too many film and tv show commercials that seemed
to have taken spaces away from potentially better commercials
they all seemed to be dark

then there was this one
the 84lumber one
i guess if you work in the construction business
you understand why they made this video
this commercial

without mexican immigrants there would be no construction

it was deemed too controversial by fox tv
get real
these commercials are made to make you think
or
rethink about your views on things

so
i watched the commercial
i watched the controversial commercial

i wanted to make the decision for myself
not rely on someones censorship
someones biased opinion one way or another

my view
it should have been shown
start a conversation about a topic that is not going away
the wall is not the solution

it needs to be settled
humanely

i suggest you watch it yourself
make your own decision

heres my take

HERES MY TAKE
before dvrs came along i missed many a super bowl
finale
it seems the game would end way beyond my bedtime
but
this year was different

i strategically planned my sleep last night
getting a good night sleep
which is unusual for me
then
strategically planning an afternoon nap
 that allowed me to be energized for the game
and
to make it all the way through

i made it and was i glad i did


so my take on the game
first i wanted the patriots to win
i got tired of all that inflate deflate stuff on the news
what i hope is that tom brady and coach had nothing
to do with it
and
the news media and many an ex nfl football player
especically some of the quarterbacks
eg troy aikman and matt bonner owe them a
public apology
lots of them

sharks for chum is what the news folks were

so im glad the patriots won

i like russel wilson one of my favorite quarterbacks
and
didnt want to see him lose
but somebody had to

just
not the way they did
im sorry
just give the ball to the guy that wont talk
and
let him ram himself through for the touchdown

of course
if the pass would have worked
we would be saying the praises of wilson
and
the hawks coaches

all tom brady could do was hope and sit and watch
the result was out of his hands

the patriots remind me of a flock of chickens
if one of the chickens get sick or gets injured
the other chickens will peck on them
chase them around
abuse them
those injured ones even if they use to be the head
chicken

so beli chick did that
he pecked and pecked at the seahawks wounded
finding those weak spots
to make their big plays

sorry for those who dont like him
hes a great coach
must be smarter than a whip
like that he wore flip flops all week
wears those hoodie things during the game

so
im happy i saw the first full super bowl game in a long time
and
saw all the ads but have no real favorite

i dont care about the amount of air in the football

the half time show was ok
but
cant singers just rely on just their music and their voice

i would have called a running play in the end

tom brady is one of the best quarterbacks ever

russel wilson is now my favorite quarterback
he is a great player and a great person
we need more athletes like him

the seahawks will have a long long off season
but will im sure have a burning fire in their gut all season
if all those injured stars heal up ok
they will be back

the nfl super bowl is the sporting event of the year
i see no replacement in the works
nbc did a good job

so now
its a dead time in sports
one of those bad times of the year for sport fanatics
just some college basketball until
march madness
nba playoffs

well a break may be good for all of us
especially the spouses who dont like this or understand
