The Shenoa Report Super Bowl 49

 Super Bowl 49

HAPPY SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!!!!!! I feel like the season flew by faster than any other. Obviously this Super Bowl isn’t as exciting to me as say, Super Bowl 42 or 46 but, nonetheless it’s still THE SUPER BOWL!!!!
So much has happened since my last report. Once again the Patriots have been accused of cheating (cough, cough, shocker). Everyone is calling it Deflategate because New England is being accused of deflating footballs before the AFC Championship game against the Colts.  The Pro Bowl came and went and wasn’t really worth talking about. Marshawn Lynch has had some amazing responses to questions during his press conferences (insert sarcasm here). Peyton Manning is pondering retiring after not making it back to the Super Bowl. I hope he doesn’t, I’m not ready for that, nor do I even want to think about it.
Before we talk about Super Bowl 49 let’s recap Championship Sunday. PS  I went 2-0 on my picks just like Football Baby.

Anyway…


Packers @ Seahawks 22-28 OT
I think that my roommate and I were the only ones on the East Coast that actually believed that the Seahawks were going to win this game.  You’ve gotta hand it to the Packers, they swayed a lot of people to believe that they had that game in the bag. Aaron Rodgers almost made a believer out of me too, Sorry Packer fans. I’m not going to gloat. It was a good run.

Colts @ Patriots 7-45
Unfortunately, I had a touch of the flu and wasn’t able to stay up and watch this game.  Or, should I say, fortunately I had a touch of the flu so I wasn’t able to stay up and watch this game.  Either way, I’m glad I didn’t watch.  It wasn’t a thrilling game, but a tragic game. The Monday after this game the Patriots were accused of deflating footballs and cheating. Apparently, if the football is slightly deflated one can grip it better, giving an advantage to the thrower and the ball handler. There is an ongoing investigation in which the NFL is seeking answers. You can keep up with Deflategate on NFL.com

If anything positive has come out of this, it is that instead of talking about the Packers and Colts losses, attention has turned to deflated balls; as absurd as that is.

Super Bowl Sunday

Patriots VS Seahawks 6:30pm NBC
Super Bowl 49 will kick off in Glendale Arizona in the Cardinals stadium, which is coincidently the same place the Patriots played Super Bowl 42.  Do you remember that game? The Patriots went in with a perfect record playing a team that squeaked into the post season.  They were on the verge of making history. Having an undefeated, perfect season, surely they would beat the NY Football Giants. I mean the Giants went into that game with a regular season record of 10-6, finishing not first but second in their division.. .. Oh yeah, that’s right, then the helmet catch happened on a third and long and Eli Manning connected with David Tyree to keep the 2 minute drill alive ending with a Plaxico Burress touch down to win the game. Oh memories. Anyway, the Patriots are back, as well as the Seattle Seahawks. I’m hoping for a repeat on both accounts. I hope that the Pats lose again in Glendale and that the Seahawks win back to back Super Bowls. We shall just wait and see.
Football Baby has picked the Seahawks to win and I am as well.  I’ll be watching the game with some of my lovely friends.
Katy Perry is the headliner for the halftime show, it’s ok if you don’t recognize that name Dad, just know that she’s got a great sense of humor and I’m pretty sure she’s rooting for the Seahawks as well.
GOOOOOOOOOO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the edit Mom!
