Some issues in the sports world that must be addressed. Tonight's topic of the matter is Super Bowl 47. The newly wedded, Joe Flacco and his Baltimore Ravens put on a clinic in the first half, which whom, oh by the way had a contract ending this year. He refused the re-contract offer the Ravens were offering before the New England game and he waited. Waited to prove himself, he said, until he won the Super Bowl as he did just that. Well there goes any doubt the Ravens GM had in his mind about Flacco being un-clutch in the post-season.
But WAIT, then half the lights inside the Superdome went out (mind you it was minutes just after halftime kick-return brought back the New Orleans native Jacoby Jones) Ironic the lights went out just after that, you could say the Ravens were really playing "lights out." Somebody should've called up J. Cole we need some "Lights Please." Back to the topic was the Super Bowl being "fixed" i mean it was 28-6 when the strange occurrence happened, and what better set-up when two brothers are facing each other to compete for a Super Bowl. Was it a way to put out Ravens fire offense? If you think about it, from an extended half-time plus the kick return, it kept the Ravens offense off the field for over 90 minutes, interesting!
Social Media just about "blew the power servers" with the amount of attention the dome light ordeal started. It was just 10 minutes that a 'Superdome lights' parody twitter account was created. Oreo came back with a tweet saying "you can still dunk in the dark." And only 4 minutes into the light fiasco that twitter accounts were bidding on key words such as "power outage" in order to gain attention. Its amazing to me as an avid twitter user how much social media plays a role into what goes on behind the scenes of businesses and their strategies to create consumer views. Instantaneous marketing. Not to mention the multi-millions spent on Super Bowl commercials, personally the Taco Bell: elderly rage commercial was by far the best.
I rest my case, but thank goodness Jim Harbaugh and the rookie quarterback Colin Kaepernick really "flipped the switch" in the second half to keep the ball-game interesting (not as if anyone lost interest, after that gorgeous halftime performance made special by Beyonce).
P.S. If you dont know what the definition of swagger is, look at these Michigan jersey's they wore tonight in a big win against a strong Ohio State squad. Michigans-basketball-uniforms
