The game got more and more interesting as the second half progressed. Being a long-standing Michigan fan, I was pulling for Brady and the Patriots - as was the whole family. My kids got more and more disinterested as the first half went on, but they were jumping on the furniture and screaming as the Pats mounted their comeback.
My favorite commercial of the night was the one with Christopher Walken and Justin Timberlake.

The last time Atlanta got burned like that ...
General Sherman took a little stroll to the sea with the boys.

Now that's funny, maybe they needed Sherman in the end  ...but I was hoping that the underdogs would take it for the win. Why they let that kind of a point lead go after the 3rd period is just crazy. You have to get into Brady's face all the time so he cannot throw that ball. But, I have to give it to the Patriots....they just keep rolling.

In the end, this games has gone way different than anyone in Atlanta could have imagined; including the Atlanta Falcons.
Three, no make that five critical penalties and the Falcons took themselves out of the game.
And one AMAZING catch by Edelman assisted by not one but two Falcons to help secure the Patriots victory. Had either one let that pass go over their head, game over Falcons win.
Turned out to be a great SB especially if you are a Patriots fan.
Next year, "how to lull your opponent into a false sense of accomplishment and then in the fourth quarter just steamroll them!"

A smidgen more than that. This Land is Your Land was written by Woodrow Wilson Guthrie as the anti-God Bless America and originally included the verse:

The sign was painted, said 'Private Property.'
But on the backside, it didn't say nothing.
This land was made for you and me."

Was it a TD?
I have no dog in this fight. What are your thoughts on this?

Here we go.
Sunday at NRG, the Atlanta Falcons blew the biggest lead in the Super Bowl in the most humiliating and awful way imaginable.
Since that OT loss, Falcons fans have being going crazy over a replay that seems to show James White’s game-winning touchdown for the New England Patriots probably should not have counted.
Take a look at it in slow-mo and you be the judge

It came up on sports talk radio today. All scoring plays are reviewed....
2nd and goal would have been (at worst) a 3rd and goal on the 1-inch line..... Nothing is guaranteed but seems like the TD was a high-percentage likelihood. (Brady the master of the QB sneak)
Atlanta-fan should concentrate on the previously unanswered 25 points and a really, really bad coaching decision from the OC (Now head coach at San (I hope you lose forever-and-ever) Francisco to not burn the clock at the end of regulation.
It was over at the coin toss based upon the momentum of the game the prior 9 minutes (IMHO)

Yeah but, that's Lady Gaga anyway. She didn't go all Black Panthers kill the po-po like Beyoncé did last year or two back.
The NFL hates Trump so by comparison mild.
There was a theme with the commercials (approved by the NFL) that had a bias towards inflaming the audience. Kraft himself already had come out and said he'd "build a bridge over the wall."
Could you imagine if Katy Perry got a repeat performance this or next three years?
