The Superbowl is here and I regret to inform you that our Ravens are not playing in it.  Just yesterday the realization set in that the Ravens lost to the Steelers on Christmas day eliminating us from the playoffs.  I guess this is one of those suppressed memories I just could not face.

So Tom Brady and Matt Ryan are in the Superbowl.  What is a Ravens fan to do?  Who do we root for?  My advice to you is go out and find one of the thousands of office pools and bet $100.00 on a block and just root for your numbers to come up and if you win that will ease the pain of missing the Ravens.

This is “SUPERBOWL LI” LI, what the hell is LI?  I know it’s Roman numeral  51 but as for the Superbowl,  LI just doesn’t cut it and it’s way to wimpy.  When it was Superbowl XXX or XXXV ( the first Superbowl the Ravens won)  that sent a strong message.  The NFL has to realize they are completing against CNN and FOX News this year.  With all the Shenanigans going on in the country the NFL needs BUZZ there is no BUZZ about this  game.  A number one Falcons offense against a number one Patriots defense will make for a boring and low scoring game.  With the only reason not to go and get food while the game is playing is so we don’t miss the one trick play Belichick will throw in for the Patriots.  That way, in the office Monday morning,  we can say we saw the play everyone’s talking about and not having to admit you were really in the bathroom.

My advice to the NFL is to really jack up the Halftime show by having Lady Gaga jump out of a airplane with a free fall into the waiting 91 year old arms of Tony Bennett.  Now that’s what I would call an entrance!  This would be followed by a series of announcements that Tony Bennett is the Baby Daddy to Beyonce’s twins, Tom Brady himself is under inflated and will be disqualified from the second half of the game,  and that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Trump are truly switching jobs and that was their  sinister plan all along.  That will start some BUZZ and keep the second half rating up.

But seriously, enjoy the game with family and friends and make tomorrow a politics free zone.  Enjoy the game, food, commercials and present company.  Have a beer with the person you have not been able to talked to since the election.

GO RAVENS!!!

And that’s just the view from 151.
