The Coronation

Just a few observations about the Super Bowl:

-"God Bless America" was classy and moving. (as a tribute to Ray Charles, a graduate of Florida's School for the Deaf and Blind, their students sang and signed the song along with Alicia Keyes).
-Otherwise, the patriotic tribute was way, way over the top. This stuff is for Memorial Day and Independence Day, not a football game. I doubt they had this during the Vietnam War. The more I hear us remind ourselves how great we are, the more I begin to doubt it.
-Paul McCartney, and his song selection and production, was perfect.
-Now, I don't mind talk about Brady, Billicheck, and the greatness of the New England Patriots. They just do not have a weakness. Not even mentally or emotionally. They can play anybody's game - the "they don't match up well" doubt some teams have with others just doesn't apply with these guys. I just thought the talk before the game was premature. They didn't talk the talk - everybody else did - but they walked the walk.
-45 wins, 7 losses. That's the combined records of the Colts, Steelers, and Eagles before the Patriots met them. The toughest schedule in NFL history.
-Hats off to Terrell Owens for an MVP-type performance.
-New Englanders, enjoy this while it lasts. And I'm not just talking about football.
