Super Bowl Highlights and Lance Armstrong Lowlights

Super Bowl 2013--Fantastic! Like it or not, the Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31.

The game made history with a blowout first half (Ravens took a 21-6 lead), a spectacular Beyonce halftime performance (no lip-syncing and lots of dynamic dancing), a power outage (resulting in 30+ minute game delay), and a momentum-shift second half (49ers nearly took the lead).

Stepping back to the Lance Armstrong scandal, I believe enough has been said already. I can't seriously believe anything that Armstrong says or does is legitimate considering all the lies over the years. And that's all I'm going to say because I do not believe he deserves any further publicity.

The people who deserve the limelight right now are Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. These two guys were phenomenal, in addition to the rest of their teammates. I was most impressed with how all the players remained calm throughout.

If this mom (and non-football player) followed the game (and actually understood what was going on), then you know it was a great game. Sorry, moms, I'm sure many of you know the ins and outs of football, but many of us females still struggle a bit. Have you ever seen me throw a ball? Don't even bother to picture it. I once threw the remote control across the room to Ed, not AT Ed, and the remote hit his glass of wine (which immediately broke and stained the carpet, needless to say).

One last issue to mention...President Obama commented on concussions and football. In my next post, I will rant yet again.

Congratulations, Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens!
