Cincinnati or Los Angeles...who do you pick in today's Super Bowl?
If you select five major sports: football, basketball, soccer, ice hockey, and baseball, there are at best eight championship games in the United States at the professional level that garner mainstream media attention...to some degree. So, you could say that eight major gatherings per year can happen in households, restaurants, sports bars, sports facilities, and then squares throughout the year, right?
Not true.
The Super Bowl 🏈 gets the most attention out of any other title game. It brings people together who may never watch American football. Look, you don't need a part in the game - your favorite team most likely sits at home watching this game every year.
So, what is it? What sparks the interest?
One, it's football. The U.S. loves football...and too much so. For over half a century, the Super Bowl has won viewers and fans of the title game. Aside from the Super Bowl itself, an increase in advertisements, halftime entertainment options, pre-game entertainment preparation, and post-game shows have made lukewarm fans tell them themselves, "I guess I will watch this game."
Commercial Skills. The commercials had better quality in the past. These tech commercials somewhat stole the taste from Super Bowl breaks. I remember watching one recent Super Bowl, hoping that no more commercials would come on during the game. Just pan the crowd and stadium 🏟.
Yet, commercial gems still occur and deliver appropriate humor for a big game and gathering.
Halftime Shows. You can watch them, but everyone has jumped on the halftime bid. Sure, the NFL picks its halftime entertainment to support the interest of its fans. Some shows are better than others. The 2022 halftime show with Dr. Dre, Snoop, Eminem, and Mary J will have individuals my age enjoying a good ole time back down memory lane.
Now, with social media and other TV channels, you can tune into any outlet for halftime entertainment.
Check it...you can even exercise for five minutes. Just five. I dare you. Five minutes of push-ups, squats, jumping jacks, plank taps, and a quick walk. Who's in?
Bengals and Rams. Back to who you want to win. The Bengals have not been in the Super Bowl since the 49ers beat them in Super Bowl XXIII. The Rams, with a heart pumping victory in 2000, made their last appearance a mere three years ago in 2019, losing to the Patriots, 13-3.
History would pick and cheer for the Bengals to bring home their first Super Bowl win. Growing dominance would pick the Rams, having such a young coach, Sean McVay, 36, making his second trip to the big game.
The match-up has plenty of excitement:
Two different teams.
Two good QBs.
Good defense.
Good offense.
Young coaches.
Make your last picks and fun predictions.
After the Game. Many football fans fall 8nto the frenzy of, "Oh, there are no sports for me to watch until football starts again!"
Stop it!✋
Watch anything else. You will be fine. There is more to life than NFL football. But, do have fun today and enjoy any and all types of entertainment.
My pick: Bengals
