12 Reasons Super Bowl LIII Was One Of The Worst Ever

And Maroon 5/Travis Scott teasing 'Sweet Victory' but not actually doing it made it worse.

12 Reasons Super Bowl LIII Was One Of The Worst Ever

It is no secret that the only good thing about Super Bowl LIII was the venue. Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta is an incredible stadium of sports. The game itself was so awful, miserable, and embarrassing that it will have a lasting impact on future super bowls.

1. The Semi Finals

Giphy

The games that preceded the Championship were marred with bad officiating and the under-performing team going through.

By now, the no call on Robey-Coleman barreling through Lewis with a vicious helmet to helmet collision seconds before the ball even arrived has been talked to death. But it really is a shame as the saints and Drew Brees very much should have been the victors that day. The Saints were a much more interesting and attack-minded team with multiple offensive threats. The Rams offense was good but without Todd Gurley, just not the same and not as interesting.

If Dee Ford lined up six inches backward, the Chiefs would be in the Superbowl with a big chance of winning it. But the Patriots got bailed out multiple times and moves on to the Superbowl.

2. The Teams

Giphy

At this point, most non-Patriot fans are sick of seeing the Patriots win/even be in the championship seemingly every year. Brady and Belichek are respected for their abilities and coached but enough is enough.

Stan Kroenke, the owner of the LA Rams and English Soccer Club Arsenal, is widely despised by the fans of the teams he owns. He moved the Rams away from St. Louis and is incredibly stingy in buying players for Arsenal. On top of the hatred of the owners, the team just is not as fun as the saints, with Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara, and many others.

3. Tom Brady

Giphy

I mean the Superbowl kisses his son on the lips, like a lot, then he did it with his coach.... just.... plus he's already won the darn trophy 5 times is a 6th really necessary??? I mean he is married to a Brazilian supermodel does he really need a 6th ring?

4. Jared Goof

Jared Goff is a tabula rasa of a QB, he does not have a very definitive style or personality as a QB. He does not have a specific skillset or anything special, he is just a tall QB. Brees has a much more definitive style, a pocket presence, accurate, and Family man QB.

5. 1st Quarter

The Rams intercepted Tom Brady on their first drive, just about the most significant play that would happen the entire game by the Rams, Yikes. Gostowski missed his first FG attempt. Rams first drive had 5 playsSuperbowl next 6 drives had 3. Quarter ends 0-0

6. 2nd Quarter

Patriots hit a field goal half way through. Rams had all 3 and out drives.

7. Halftime

Giphy

The commercials were not anything interesting or memorable. There was nothing for the analysts to break down. The half time show was marginally better than 'Imagine Dragons' but still uninspired.

8. Sweet Victory (PSYCH)

So Maroon 5 stops playing for a second, they show the scene from spongebob leading up to sweet victory, and the trumpets start playing, and then..... sicko mode.... r/bikinibottomtwitter blew up in anger. Threatening boycotting the NFL. But there was a bastion of hope, the thursday prior, the Dallas Stars Hockey Team had done their own specialized sweet victory at their 2nd intermission of their game and it blew up on reddit with over 120,000 upvotes.

9. 3rd Quarter

Rams finally got on the board with a field goal. However, had many other opportunities squandered. Patriots did not do much of note.

10. 4th quarter

Wow, the Patriots scored 10 whole points! Wow! Their touchdown came from a decently long throw to Gronkowski and then a very boring rushing touchdown. The Rams missed a field goal and the game ends with kneeling. 13-3. Yikes.

11. MVP

Giphy

Julian Edelman won the MVP. He is a great reciever with a hard work ethic and is very skilled at breaking away from his defender. He also served a four-game suspension earlier in the season for PEDs.

12. The Commercials

Youtube

Wow, this was an awful year for memorable commercials. No Doritos time machine, no "puppymonkeybaby", no fake MacGyver, nothing that stands out. So very boring and safe. Nothing had any real production value or were interesting or engaging. None of the commercials for CBS shows were interesting or varied either. The only interesting or memorable commercial was the Bud Light commercial where the Bud Knight literally Dies? And a dragon from 'Game of Thrones' burns everything.

Overall it was a terrible Superbowl, low scoring, low effort, low enthusiasm, low fun, bad commercials, and a misleading halftime show.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
