On The Superbowl

I suppose I should post my annual Super Bowl recap here.

The Raiders did not win.

I knew from about the end of the second half of their first game of the season that they were doomed this year, and, thus took the season off. For the first year in a long time I watched only that one game. Not the playoffs. Not the Superbowl. Nothing. I did not even know who was in the Super Bowl until last week.

Did I miss the NFL? Not really. The NFL has just not been that interesting for the past few years, and I am not saying that simply because the Raiders have been in the toilet for about that same amount of time (remember I get as much joy in watching the Niners lose as I do in watching the Raiders win, so it really should have been a fun last few years, except that the Niners did not lose in any interesting games. My favorite thing to watch in football is to see the Niners QB get sacked, preferably in the end zone).

Maybe next year, although I am doubtful. The NFL needs a massive shakeup to make it interesting again.

Now, I realize that I may have missed something this year. Certainly the playoffs were reputed to have been good games. Perhaps. I still don't think I missed much.
