12 Reasons Super Bowl LIII Was One Of The Worst Ever

It is no secret that the only good thing about Super Bowl LIII was the venue. Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta is an incredible stadium of sports. The game itself was so awful, miserable, and embarrassing that it will have a lasting impact on future super bowls.

1. The Semi Finals

Giphy

The games that preceded the Championship were marred with bad officiating and the under-performing team going through.

By now, the no call on Robey-Coleman barreling through Lewis with a vicious helmet to helmet collision seconds before the ball even arrived has been talked to death. But it really is a shame as the saints and Drew Brees very much should have been the victors that day. The Saints were a much more interesting and attack-minded team with multiple offensive threats. The Rams offense was good but without Todd Gurley, just not the same and not as interesting.

If Dee Ford lined up six inches backward, the Chiefs would be in the Superbowl with a big chance of winning it. But the Patriots got bailed out multiple times and moves on to the Superbowl.

2. The Teams

Giphy

At this point, most non-Patriot fans are sick of seeing the Patriots win/even be in the championship seemingly every year. Brady and Belichek are respected for their abilities and coached but enough is enough.

Stan Kroenke, the owner of the LA Rams and English Soccer Club Arsenal, is widely despised by the fans of the teams he owns. He moved the Rams away from St. Louis and is incredibly stingy in buying players for Arsenal. On top of the hatred of the owners, the team just is not as fun as the saints, with Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara, and many others.

3. Tom Brady

Giphy

I mean the Superbowl kisses his son on the lips, like a lot, then he did it with his coach.... just.... plus he's already won the darn trophy 5 times is a 6th really necessary??? I mean he is married to a Brazilian supermodel does he really need a 6th ring?

4. Jared Goof

Jared Goff is a tabula rasa of a QB, he does not have a very definitive style or personality as a QB. He does not have a specific skillset or anything special, he is just a tall QB. Brees has a much more definitive style, a pocket presence, accurate, and Family man QB.

5. 1st Quarter

The Rams intercepted Tom Brady on their first drive, just about the most significant play that would happen the entire game by the Rams, Yikes. Gostowski missed his first FG attempt. Rams first drive had 5 playsSuperbowl next 6 drives had 3. Quarter ends 0-0

6. 2nd Quarter

Patriots hit a field goal half way through. Rams had all 3 and out drives.

7. Halftime

Giphy

The commercials were not anything interesting or memorable. There was nothing for the analysts to break down. The half time show was marginally better than 'Imagine Dragons' but still uninspired.

8. Sweet Victory (PSYCH)

So Maroon 5 stops playing for a second, they show the scene from spongebob leading up to sweet victory, and the trumpets start playing, and then..... sicko mode.... r/bikinibottomtwitter blew up in anger. Threatening boycotting the NFL. But there was a bastion of hope, the thursday prior, the Dallas Stars Hockey Team had done their own specialized sweet victory at their 2nd intermission of their game and it blew up on reddit with over 120,000 upvotes.

9. 3rd Quarter

Rams finally got on the board with a field goal. However, had many other opportunities squandered. Patriots did not do much of note.

10. 4th quarter

Wow, the Patriots scored 10 whole points! Wow! Their touchdown came from a decently long throw to Gronkowski and then a very boring rushing touchdown. The Rams missed a field goal and the game ends with kneeling. 13-3. Yikes.

11. MVP

Giphy

Julian Edelman won the MVP. He is a great reciever with a hard work ethic and is very skilled at breaking away from his defender. He also served a four-game suspension earlier in the season for PEDs.

12. The Commercials

Youtube

Wow, this was an awful year for memorable commercials. No Doritos time machine, no "puppymonkeybaby", no fake MacGyver, nothing that stands out. So very boring and safe. Nothing had any real production value or were interesting or engaging. None of the commercials for CBS shows were interesting or varied either. The only interesting or memorable commercial was the Bud Light commercial where the Bud Knight literally Dies? And a dragon from 'Game of Thrones' burns everything.

Overall it was a terrible Superbowl, low scoring, low effort, low enthusiasm, low fun, bad commercials, and a misleading halftime show.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
