What’s going on? I’m still having a Super Bowl hangover, and I still want more Springsteen. I am not ready for the football season to be over. Although, no football means spring is coming, and with that, there is 107 days until graduation! Tuesday night was the class of 2009’s Senior Night. Basically, we rented out the back room of The Playwright, a bar in downtown New Haven. We had a buffet dinner and drink specials all night. We even had Dwayne Wade from KC 101, a radio station here in CT, DJ the entire night. It was a great time for all the seniors that attended. To make the night even better it was my 22nd birthday on Wednesday. It was great to spend my birthday with all of my friends.
So, as promised, I said I would give my 5 worst Super Bowls, which I’ve seen witnessed in my lifetime. This could be a slight cure for Super Bowl hangovers. Again, I’ll admit it is very biased.
1. Super Bowl XLII: New York Giants 17, New England Patriots 14. The only person I hate more than the Manning brothers is David Tyree. Damn him and that catch.
2. Super Bowl XLI: Indianapolis Colts 29, Chicago Bears 17. If you remember correctly, the Bears returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and it gave me a lot of hope that the Bears would upset Manning and Colts. My first of three straight disappointments.
3. Super Bowl XXXI: Green Bay Packers 35, New England Patriots 21. Bill Parcells and Drew Bledsoe with that cannon arm. Their first and only Super Bowl appearance together in New England. Of course, Bledsoe would go to another Super Bowl, but as Tom Brady’s backup. Parcells still hasn’t been that lucky since leaving for the Jets, then the Cowboys, and now the Dolphins.
4. XXXVII: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 48, Oakland Raiders 21. A battle of the Pirates, also Coach Gruden’s new team vs. his old team. Look where he is now. Anyways, the Bucs won in a landslide towards the end, they more than doubled the Raiders score. I really don’t like lopsided games, especially Championship games. Unless the Patriots are playing in it.
5. Super Bowl XXXV: Baltimore Ravens 34, New York Giants 7. I wasn’t rooting for the Giants in this one, because I would never do that. But again, lopsided victory. But Kerry Collins was the QB of the Giants. What happened? Where did he go and then pop up again with the Titans this season?
So there it is. The worst 5 Super Bowls in my lifetime. My weekend officially starts now. Have a great one everyone. I’ll talk to you later.
