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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
