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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
