SUPER BOWL XLIX
Who knew that Super Bowl number 49
Would be decided at the 1-yard line?
Well, we knew that it would have been close since the score was all knots at halftime
But with 20 seconds left on the Seahawks’ final drive
And witnessed Kearse pull off a miraculous catch on the previous play to keep their hopes alive
When Butler intercepted Wilson’s pass I couldn’t believe my eyes
Talk about a plot twist even Hollywood would be surprise
Apparently the decision to throw instead of run
Is said to have come from Pete Carroll not Russell Wilson
So close yet so far. It would have been the game-winning touchdown.
Hindsight is 20/20, for the Patriots it was a blessing, for the Seahawks it was a dumb move
Given the fact that Marshawn Lynch was already in the Skittles-induced Beast Mode Groove
Undoubtedly the best RB of the season and the Playoffs that’s what his stats prove
While on the field, the stars were the Patriots and the Seahawks
During the halftime production the other stars Katy Perry and Missy Elliot raised the roof
But they were upstaged by a giant mechanical lion and two dancing sharks
Especially the Internet meme- the one on the left who seem to be running out of breath
Super Bowl is also famous for the viewership just for the halftime commercial ads
And this year, they were mostly good, none really terribly bad
Most played it safe, no commercial was really controversial, no advertisement needed chastisement
Back to the game, Russell Wilson by throwing instead of running committed the cardinal sin
And paid the ultimate price and lost the Super Bowl that was his to win
As for the greatness that is Tom Brady, I don’t know where to begin
Another 3 Super Bowl TDs to make it 12 for #12 and another title and another ring
Aside from the records, Brady, Gronk, Edelman and Belichick overcame the picks, interceptions and sacks
And the ‘Deflate-Gate’ controversy to lead a 4th Quarter comeback
And deny the Defending Champions and odds on favourites a repeat victory
Now I join the rest of the world in awaiting the excitement of Super Bowl 50
