SUPER BOWL 50 RECAP

Broncos 24 Panthers 10

Well after all the hype, especially for Carolina, in the end we saw maybe the most anti-climatic Super Bowl ever?  The Panthers looked awful all game, the Broncos looked just less awful.  The Broncos defense was amazing though, I said for Denver to win they'd need an early lead and for their defense to play big again and that's what they did.  Great way for Peyton to end his career, he hasn't actually declared retirement yet but I can't imagine he'll play again.  The commercials were very disappointing yet again, and I can't wait to be writing the Packers victory blog this time next year.  So let's get into the highlights of SB50.

Steph got the day started with an all-time great performance hitting the Panthers big ass drum:

Gaga actually had a pretty great National Anthem.  So good the sign language lady was getting SUPER into it.  She actually went over 2:20 which if you read my prop bets I didn't think she would. It was like 2:21 too.  I also think she's uncomfortable to look at.  But here's the anthem:


Then Denver opened the scoring with a vintage Manning field goal drive.  Ensuing Panther possession this catch by Jericho Cothchery was ruled a drop:

Then Denver would increase their lead with a defensive touchdown off a Von Miller strip sack of Cam Newton.


That would be the first of 3 lost fumbles for the Panthers.
Aqib Talib  would have two personal foul penalties in the first half including this taunting penalty:

Then this facemask where he tries to rip Philly Brown's head right off his shoulders:


 That set up the touchdown by Johnathan Stewart and he got UP:
 About the only impact Luke Kuechly had on the game was when he put Demaryius Thomas in a body bag:


Jordan Norwood almost had the first punt return touchdown in Super Bowl history:

Mike Tolbert had fumble number 2 for Carolina:

Then the Sheriff gave it right back with a horrible throw:

Not much else happened the rest of the first half bringing us to the halftime show.
Halftime show review: 4/10.  Coldplay blew.  I expected more to be honest, but Beyonce and Bruno Mars having a sing/dance off was amazing.  Absolutely electrifying performance by the guest stars.  Here it is again, or just here if you didn't see it last night:

Sorry the quality isn't that great but it was the only full one with this good audio quality.

So on to the second half now.
Early on Grahm Gano had a chance to cut the lead to 13-10 but missed the field goal:

  Panthers were driving then Cam threw a pick:

Denver added a field goal to build a 16-7 lead and to start the 4th Carolina stripped Peyton:

Later in the 4th Von Miller stripped Cam for the second time:

That would seal it for Denver, from there they had CJ Anderson punch it in then they ran out the clock and Carolina couldn't get down the field at all.  Denver owner Pat Bowlen's scary wife said some words.  Von Miller was named game MVP, and John Elway screamed that the win was for Pat. Peyton kissed Papa John and then talked about crushing some buds.  Plus Aqib Talib ate shit running to the CBS desk, and Cam walked out of the post game presser.  All that is right here:

Lombardi in one hand, bud heavy in the other.

A+ surgery.  You don't look at all grotesque and won't give kids nightmares.

Congrats Pat.


Oh man, classic Aqib!! Hey you know what was really funny?  When you almost tore a players head from his body!


That's all I got.  Hope you found a way to enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday since the game and commercials sucked.  Here's to hoping the NFL soon moves the game to Saturday.
