The idiots guide to Super bowl XLIV. Alex Wells breaks down the biggest game of the year.
He’s arguably the best quarterback in the game today and he’s a shoe in for the hall of fame. Calm, cool and collected, Peyton’s been here before and knows what it takes to win. He’s accurate and takes care of the football, throwing for 4500 yards and 33 touchdowns this season. The Saints have shown in the past that they can get to the quarterback. We’ll see if they can get to Manning.
Of all the players taking part in the Super Bowl this Sunday, Freeney is probably the biggest. He’s listed as questionable for the big game because of a torn ligament in his right ankle. According to him, the ankle is headed in the “right direction,” yet he has missed multiple practices? Is he a game-time decision? We’ll just have to see.
Drew Brees has actually been the better quarterback of the two this year. Throwing 34 touchdowns and 5 fewer interceptions than Manning. Unlike Manning, this is a new experience for Brees and the entire Saints franchise. Brees is the emotional leader of his team and will not only need to rally the troops but keep them focused in the middle of all the excitement of the Super Bowl. A high order? We’ll see if he can handle it.
And last but definitely not least, Reggie Bush. We all know this is the reason why most females are watching the Super Bowl this year, but he’s talented too! Bush has really stepped his game up during the Arizona game, averaging 16.8 yards per carry, but he stalled during the Minnesota game. Will he be able to kick it into gear?
For the Saints this could be their Cinderella story. Coming from a wrecked superdome during Hurricane Katrina to the first championship in franchise history would be amazing. It’s the ultimate underdog story that you can’t help but root for. But they also have the hopes of all people affected by the natural disaster on their back. The pressure is on.
For the Colts, there’s not as much at stake. They’ve won championships and lost them. If they did win this would be the first championship in the post-Tony Dungy era and would be the second Colts championship with an African-American coach.
For the past week this commercial has been talked about on all the major news networks. Supposedly, the commercial is about Tebow’s mother’s choice not to abort him. Organizations have been calling for CBS to pull it and people have been voicing their opinions left and right. No ones even scene the commercial yet! I don’t like my sport mixed with social issues either but lets all calm down.
It’s the last and biggest game of the season! If you miss the big play you might as well stop watching.
Super Bowl commercials are the best commercials on TV and you might only be able to see them once. Don’t miss any of them, they’re hilarious.
Well all know there hasn’t been a really good half-time show since Janet stripped. If anything, go to the bathroom and do laundry then.
Enjoy your super bowl XLIV!
