Ok, so the Patriots were not in the super bowl this year which makes it so less interesting for me to watch. However, I did still watch and I was rooting for the 49ers simply because Jimmy Garapalo was in it and since his is a former Patriot, I wanted him to win. Honestly, I didn’t care that much since I am a New Englander through and through and no team matters to me besides the Patriots because we are the best, we have six rings and we have the GOAT, Tom Brady! Also, Edeleman! There has been so much speculation in the news lately about Tom Brady and what his plans are going forward. This year, I am not going to lie, we played terrible. And teams that don’t play well, obviously don’t make it to the super bowl. We didn’t deserve to be there this year. Since there has been so much talk about Tom and whether he will go to another team (he would never) or if he is going to retire (he wouldn’t end his career without another championship under his belt). After leaving a cryptic post on his Instagram earlier in the week, we were all wondering his plans are.
Tom Brady is everything in New England. He unites in a way that few other sports players have been to do. He leads his team incredibly well and makes us all want to push a little harder and be a little better. Now I love super bowl commercials but when I heard his voice, I actually looked up from my phone and my heart sank a little. I never want to believe that there will be a time when Tom Brady no longer plays for the Patriots but when we haven’t heard from him publicly, I get nervous. For the first few seconds, I was sweating and then I realized it was a Hulu commercial and when he said “As for me, I’m not going anywhere” my fiancé and I both started clapping! Phew! What a relief.
As for the rest of the commercials, a few made me tear up, a couple made me laugh, the Mr. Peanut one I thought was weird, and some I missed because I fell asleep. All in all, it was a good game. I am happy for Patrick MaHomes. He is 24 years old and just won his first super bowl. He is on the top of the world right now. I know a lot people don’t care for him because of something with his girlfriend? I don’t know, I can’t keep up with who we are canceling from week to week. I think the better team won because they played better. I know people love to argue about calls and plays but I think they did a good job and I hope they enjoy their parade.
Now all we can do as New Englanders is start preparing for the next season. After baseball season, of course! Don’t get me started on the Red Sox and this whole cheating scandal. We still don’t know who they are going to hire for a new coach now that Alex Cora has been fired. That’s a rant for another time. All in all the super bowl was good and now I am ready to not think about football for a few months. It feels like Spring this week and I am getting so excited for warmer weather. I need to be open toed shoes again. I hope your week is lovely and fulfilling!
