Why Didn't You Cover the Super Bowl Marty?...Fair Question






Some of you might ask "Why Didn't You Cover the Super Bowl Marty?". That's a fair question.  Basically it comes down to two things:


  1. I fucking loathe the Seattle Seahawks.  Their only, and I mean their only saving grace is Marshawn Lynch. Richard Sherman talks more nonsense than anyone in the NFL and he doesn't even talk the most nonsense on the team, that crown goes to Doug Baldwin, who is basically the Robert Horry of the NFL if Robert Horry never shut the fuck up.  Basically a complete non-factor when it comes to game planning, but somehow, someway, when his team needs a big play he's ALWAYS wide open for the catch.  And their quarterback is awesome but he's an insufferable pussy; nothing more needs to be said, he just is.

  2. These guys are all coached by Pete Carroll, the man who absolutely skewered USC.  Personally I hate USC anyways because I'm a UCLA fan and they were absolutely unstoppable when he was their coach with Reggie Bush and Co. (much like with how good the Seahawks have become).  But still, he seasoned them real good, put them on the grill, shut the lid, and left them there to burn.  Even I wouldn't wish that upon a team.




And then on top of all that, I had the Patriots the whole time.  There's just some games where you cannot fight destiny any longer.  This was that game for Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.  I've always been a massive proponent of Peyton Manning over Tom Brady.  In 10 years I have never once faltered on that stance...with that said, I was wrong.  Four Super Bowls is absolutely astounding, and the fact that he's been to six and barely lost the other two is equally noteworthy.  Brady has been just as consistent as Manning with less gaudy numbers but his ability to consistently rise to the occasion and lead a team deep into the playoffs just cannot be ignored anymore.  Tom Brady, G.O.A.T.






PS - I've always known Belichick was the greatest coach ever so I'm still 50%.  In baseball that makes me the best hitter ever and in basketball it's either good or great depending on your position.  Take from that what you will.
