This year it is the 50th playing of
the Super Bowl. Will the game between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina
Panthers be a bust or super?
Everyone enjoys going
to a Super Bowl party. My nephew Ian and his fiancée Helen are flying back this
morning from Boston to Seattle to host their first Super Bowl Party. Regardless
of the game Ian and Helen I hope you have a grand time.
We look at the
previous forty-nine super bowls and most of them been toward the bust than
being super. Actually they have been super for the team that wins and a bust
for the team that loses. It would be nice to see a close game this year however
the odds are against it. For the playoffs this year the Panthers have been
pretty super while the Broncos just made it in.
Most experts I am sure
are picking the Panther to win this 50th addition of the Super Bowl
and so am I. Outside of the Carolinas I am sure most people are rooting for the
Broncos because this could be the last hurrah for quarterback Peyton
Manning. He may or may not announce his
retirement after the game depending on whether the Broncos win or not. I
recommend that Peyton retires because he is only a shell of himself. He was
injured almost half of the season and his arm is not the same as it once was.
We can only hope that he plays one last outstanding game that we all can
remember him by. It would be sad if he got knocked out and had to leave the
game or played a bad game. We can hope the Broncos will play a better game this
time around than they did against my beloved Seahawks two years ago.
According to his
father Archie Manning this will be Peyton’s last game with the Broncos even if
he plays again next season. If indeed it
is the last game with the Broncos he should go ahead and retire. We should not
be able to see another super star athlete go out when it is so obvious to
everyone except himself that he is done. Also, we know in football a lot of
athletes live a life that the rest of us do not. It would be nice if he could
walk and talk at fifty, sixty, and even seventy like a normal person. So Peyton
regardless how the game goes today please retire for us besides you; let us
enjoy a grand Super Bowl party.
