RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

SUPER BOWL REDUX

The game was not exciting or very interesting to the average fan.

The half-time show was mundane. 

The ads were way below standard for this program.  My favorite tweet on Twitter post-game was as follows:  "The funny Super Bowl commercials will return when we stop being offended by everything."  - - Moe Egger

My friend tells me the post game talent show was also dreadful.

The Rams high-powered offense was only able to put 3 points on the board.  If you were looking for their offensive coordinator, they don't have one.  Head coach Sean McVay has a separate "run-game" coordinator and a "passing-game" coordinator.  McVay calls the plays.  Supposedly, the quarterback position coach, Zac Taylor, was instrumental in the offensive game plan and consulted on some play calls.  All that and . . . 3 points. 

Zac Taylor was named the new head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday. 

The money men in Las Vegas put the over/under bet for total points in the game at 56-1/2.  With a final score of 13-3, the total of 16 points was way way under. 

Off-Shore special bets ran this way:  The over/under for Gladys Knight singing the national anthem was 1 minute 49 seconds.  She finished the song in under 1:45 but added an additional "Brave" to go to 2:1.  Officially, the song ends after the first "brave" so the Under bet won.

Those who bet on the coin flip won if they guessed tails.
