Last Sunday the 49th American football championship was played.
This time, the Seattle Seahawks did not win the Super Bowl (see my blog posts from January and February 2014). The New England Patriots are the 2015 champions. The same team who is involved in the so called Deflate-gate. Allegedly the Boston team used under-inflated balls, which might make them easier to catch.
I still do not quite understand the rules of American football. This time it occurred to me that the whole team does not play simultaneously. Each is divided into three smaller teams, and are accordingly active on the field depending on the time of the game.
I did notice that Sunday’s match was full of emotional ups and downs. And in the end, to my surprise, the Seattle Seahawks players got into a fight with the Patriots! One of the players received a $ 25,000 fine. Of course when one earns a million of dollars per year, this amount is not much noticeable.
Dean loves to talk about sports, particularly about football. He often discusses the games on the phone with his Dad. He also obsessively checks the internet for the newest scores.
For me, the halftime show was exciting enough. This year, live from the stadium in Arizona, Katy Perry gave an entertaining performance. Just like the one we went to last year in Tacoma. And just like last time I had a great time listening to her popular hits.
Surely you know how important and costly advertising time during the Super Bowl is.
I particularly liked these newest commercials:
