Because I don't feel like typing Roman Numerals right now.

New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks in Arizona.
How about that, that was a heckuva game!
If you want a good game, you want back and forth action where both teams seem capable of winning.
With a tie score at halftime, I was excited because about this time last year, I actually offered to take my wife to the craft store because the game was sooooo bad.
If you want to sum up the game, simply watch the last three minutes, you're not going to get much more action packed that that.
With the Seahawks on the verge of beating New England with a ridiculous end of game catch reminiscent of the helmet catch the last time the Patriots were in this stadium for a Super Bowl.
Yet Seattle takes the ball out of the hands of Lynch at the end. The man was unstoppable.
My thoughts? They didn't want him to be Super Bowl MVP and have to pay the contract commensurate with those accolades.
Whoops.
Bad call.
Then the Seahawks decided to come out swinging, literally, on the last play and sullied an otherwise great game from both sides.
Congratulations New England, you earned and deserved it.
Now, unlike the halftime show last year which was better than the game, this year's featuring Katy Perry was okay.
My favorite part was the dancing and singing sharks!
When Missy Elliot came out, I became instantly bored and went to the kitchen to put the 7 layer dip away instead.
Finally, the commercials.
The best?
Easily belongs to the Brady Bunch Snickers commercial with Danny Trejo. Hilarious and fun!
Runner-up?
Where can I go to play that full-size Pac Man game!!1
:)
The worst?
Hands down the Nationwide Dead Kid commercial.
Totally inappropriate for just about any occasion, but especially so for the Super Bowl.
Not sure who should get the blame on this one, Nationwide, the advertising agency or the NFL for selecting this one.
Really took the excitement of the game and crushed it.
Looking at comments on Social Media, that commercial really, really, really upset a lot of families who had lost kids due to accidents.
Someone wasn't thinking, and heads really should roll.
Too bad the damage is already done.
Final Grade for The Game: A
Halftime: C+
Commercials: C
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I'll be back to watch again next year, I hope it's as exciting of a game!
