Most people could vaguely recall the winning drive that Eli Manning put together to beat the New England Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl. Manning connected with Plaxico Burress on a 13-yard pass for the winning touchdown with 35 seconds remaining. The play that most sports enthusiasts remember is the famous David Tyree ball to the helmet grab.
Every year, people who don’t enjoy sports sit down and watch the Super Bowl only to enjoy the outrageously funny commercials. This year, I will be one of those people. I am a sports fanatic myself, but this rematch of the 2008 Super Bowl does not appeal to me.
To start it off, I dislike both teams. Their rivalry somewhat compares to the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees rivalry, meaning it could turn ugly real quick. I believe that this Super Bowl will be pretty boring because not many people I know are fans of the New England Patriots or the New York Giants.
Originally, I was pulling for the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, because of the battle of the brothers between John and Jim Harbaugh. Also, both teams have not had many trips to the Super Bowl. In my opinion, this years Super Bowl won’t be a very entertaining one. Looks like I’ll be watching it for the commercials.
