BUILT to win. And they did. Great game. I can't decide if Cooper Kupp or Aaron Donald is my MVP. I voted for them both. RAMS GET THEIR 2nd Superbowl and FIRST IN LOS ANGELES.
And I'm crying. Really.
BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
YOUR LOS ANGELES RAMS ARE THE SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS.
AND they earned it.
In a game with almost no penalties this is drama time
From a defensive holding call. to the offsetting penalties on the touchdown catch by Kupp, it makes things way more dramatic.
Then more flags.
You could not script this shit
TOUCH DOWN
COOPER KUPP
MVP
I've never seen the NFL hotter - AL Michaels. yeah the post season has been good. Brings in the casuals and lapsed fans. Like me. No Tom Brady.
Rams go for it on 4th down and get it with a run from WR Kupp!
Collinsworth - you have to get Cooper Kupp into this game. Yes. You're right. 100%
Rams driving
Good Game
1st and 10- Caught by Kupp on the 24. Under 3 to play
FIRST and Goal - inside of 2 minues. DOES NOT GET BETTER.
COMMERCIALS
My next post will be my last.

Dude frm the Middle. Credit Crds? 2nd pegasus appaerance.
HBO _ I love Kareem. Will watch
nbc Show with Morena Baccarin. Um...OK.
OK end of game time.
Bengals start with a quick first down, and run for 3 straight plays. Unsurprising. Burn the clock. Time to step up Rams.
3rd and 1 it's CLOSE but they get the first down. Yuck. Burning time.
the Rams defense comes through with a stop on 3rd down.
Rams take over on their own 22.
COMMERCIALS:
Eugene Levy and Brie Larson for cars. Cathrine O'hara driving in Downtown LA. Batista.....I dig it. Best car comemrcial excet for the Tunda.
I hear Hole
I MIGHT BE too drunk to type
I'm hungry for Taco Bell.
They want us to vote for MVP. The game isn't over. How can I choose right now?
Rams go 3 and out quickly. No bueno.
We're getting to the nitty gritty. Maybe one possession left each team. Dammit.
Commercials:
Kinda done with commercials. Usually this is the time where I stop caring. Wait I never cared. Cutwater makes good drinks. Usually.
But I wouldn't buy them when I can get the ingredients for way cheaper.
Vroom - Warners back lot
AMC+ - I need to finish up Killing Eve. Don't care abot the Walking Dead. Interview with the Vampire might be interesting. Never have watched Saul.
Irish Spring - Oh yeah, that's still a thing.
Olympics - Haven't watched anything so far.
Renee Zellwiger's new series - ugh....that voice will make me not want to watch
OK we're in the fourth quarter. Crunch time Rams. Here's where you make your millions and millions.
And the rams go 3 and out. Sigh. Can we get a coffin corner kick?
It's a One Possession game.
Bengals take over on their own 16.
Beer #4 Opened and poured.
The length of the game is getting to the defenses you can tell. Broken plays end up in first downs.
At least the Cincinnati run game is still not doing anything. 15 rushes for 55 yards.
But the Rams defense holds and gets their 7th sack of the game. Burrow is hurt and an unnecessary roughness penalty for the Bengals. Pushes the punter all the way back to the endzone.
Good PUNT, and the Rams don't quite get what they want, but they have the ball and are in the drivers seat.
COMMERCIALS:
Is Scarlett Johanssen the most attractive woman on the planet? maybe. Is Colin Jost the most amazing man on the planet? Probably.
I dunno what the next commercial was for but it had Chumbuwumba.
and then there's Idris Elba. No lie. Man crush. Sexiest man on the planet. James Bond> Sure why not.
Damn. The Rams had a PRIME opportunity to take momentum back from the Bengals and they blew it big time. These things are crucial. Now the Defense has to make a play just to keep them in it.
And Stafford might be hurt.
CRUNCH TIME.
Oh look, they remind us Austin Powers was a thing. Wait I do think this commercial is funnier than the last movie.
Baby Me!
More Crypto bullshit. Listen I'm a self-professed techno geek. STAY AWAY from Crypto. It ain't worth it.
Zach Braff is a dude. Scrubs was a show. remember? I think the commercials are all about remembering stuff you used to like much more than stuff that's new now.
That movie with Jlow and the Blond Wilson. Nope.
Joe Namath who was in superbowl ad earlier tonight.
Montana who really was the best QB of his time.
HOLY CRAP what the hell was Joe Burrow wearing on the way in? Dude....
NICE - isn't that the 3rd sack of Burrow? Nope 4th
And the Rams stop the Bengals on 3rd down for a 3 and out, and momentum shifts.
Now is your time Rams.
PLENTY of time left.
COMMErCIALS:
Pringles - Yes, we know. You can get your hand stuck in a Pringles canister. They're PAPER dude. DUMB
Sci-Fi Booze - Yes I'm forgetting what the alcohol is for these days. Is that Guy Fieri? Also I'm on Beer #3. But these are stouts. Oh it's Bud Light Seltzer. That stuff is vile. Remember Zima? it's about the same.
My neighbors are barbecueing. Smells good. I wish I were more social. Then again I could have had friends over, I just decided I wasn't up to it. Which I wasn't.
Kia - Wasn't watching.
Law and Order - NOPE.
Back to game.
Rams second possession of the second half not looking good to start. But Henderson grabs a first down on a 3rd and 10. Phew.
Collinsworth is right, the Rams are really missing Higbee and Beckham. BUT they do have a number of weapons still.
I haven't mentioned it yet, but I love the Rams new Helmets. Especially the Metallic blue.
Jesus Cooper Kupp is awesome.
Rams driving is a beautiful thing to watch.
Damn, field goal time after a messed up Flea-Flicker.
COMMERCIALS:
Are there any good ones left?
Amazon Prime - Lord of the Rings - Meh. Don't need it, don't really care.
POTATO chips - Seth and Paul - Hee hee. Cute
Universal Orlando - Yeah I'm in LA. I go to Universal Hollyweird.
Back to the game.
Yeah that should have been a flag. Really. Dude facemasked Ramsey. Ah well.
DAMMIT - The Bengals make a play and a takeaway and this game MIGHT be over.
And we begin the 2nd half with the Rams kicking to the Bengals.
And it's a touchback. I mean...do we even need kickoffs anymore?
Biggest Priority in the 2nd half - "Go Win the Superbowl" no shit sherlock.
No Beckham for the 2nd half. Shit.
Well that blew the game wide open didn't it. That's kind of exciting I'm not gonna lie. What a great play to come out of the second half.
The Jones' Toyota Tundra commercial was clever.
The NFL ad where the video game characters come out of the screen was cute as well.
Uh....
That Halftime Show....
Errr.....
WOW.
That was freaking great and worth a watch.
THE HYPE was Real.
COMMERCIALS just before the half.
Matthew McConnagehy can sell me anything. If people ever start walking around with VR headsets I'll be pissed. Also that was for SalesForce? WTF? Not for nothing we're switching to SalesForce at work. And my Mom's work just did.
Larry David - is he really funny? I've never been sure. I never cared for Curb, and I wasn't a BIG fan of Seinfeld. That was yet another Crypto ad. It's lie the early 2000's again, only instead of Dot coms it's Cryptos.
SO one of the major reasons why I don't watch football much anymore (mostly because I'm not all that happy with the current rules and gameplay) is that it's on WAY too much. We start the week on THURSDAY now...then have a Saturday game, all day Sunday and then sometimes TWO on Monday.
Just go back to Sunday and Monday people.
And where is Monday Night Football these days? I have no idea. Amazon shows games on Thursdays?
Rams go 3 and out, and we're at Halftime.
NOW it's Break time. I'll be back at the beginning of the 2nd Half.
Hunh, taunting penalty on the Bengals and they get to start on the 10 yard line. Not smart.
Stars:
JayZ
Matt Damon
Charlize
LeBron
Jlo and Batfleck
Emmitt Smith
Sacked on third down and the Rams stuff the Bengals. Score will remain the same at halftime.
BREAK TIME.
Beckham out for who knows...
First down...Hopkins catch for 16.
Penalty - #2 in the game and second on the Rams.
Damn Higbee is out for this game. He's a great TE
And Intercepted in the Endzone. Well that could have been better.
TwoMinute Warning
TurboTax - I've used them for the last several years, but they SUCK DIDDLY UCK andI should be able to find a cheaper one this year. This is yuck too.
WALLBOX - They paid how much for that?
Morgan Freeman Narration = win. Turkish Airlines?
Beer Big Lebowski Homage - Yuck.
Pizza Hut - I don't like my pizza spicy. Burritos, sure. Tacos OK. Chili yum. Pizza?
Hunh, I didn't even realize that the QB didn't throw that pass. Wasn't paying close attention.
Don't you love it when the coaches throw up their play cards so they can't have their lips read by cameras? It's a thing.
Time out - Beckham is hurt.
Commercials:
T-Mobile Part 2. - How can you take it seriously?
UberEats - Jennifer Coolidge is one of my favorites. But this is dumb. I worked for UberEats. Better than PostMates
Hey the Mannings in their second commercial. For what? Not sure
Gillette - Yes, we still need to shave. I'd rather buy Dollar shave club.
Ambulance Movie - Will miss.
Up until Mixon just picked up 14 yards on a first down run, the Bengals had only gained 17 yards on 4 total rushes.
The Rams D-Line has been pretty punishing thus far.
ESPN Game Cast is still about a good 20 seconds ahead of the live "streaming" on my app.
I committed a party foul, I overflowed my 2nd beer. I get one per quarter.
It's cool to have Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth on the call today. I am old enough to remember Collinsworth's ENTIRE CAREER.
The Bengals put together a pretty good drive and get the touchdown to bring it to a 3 point game. This is good. We want an exciting game don't we?
75 Yards, 7 minutes.
COMMERCIALS:
Barbie Dream House? Nope Rocket Homes. There is a Barbie Movie coming soon. I don't care I love Anna Kendrick. And Toys. I love toys. And there's He-Man and Skeletor. CLEVER. Top 5 commercial so far.
Disney+ - Hey that's Awkafina. I love her. My kid would like that.
WeatherTech - Who the heck? Well, there's always some small company that spends more than their revenue on a Superbowl Ad.
Yes, Wrestlemania is coming. Apparently Peacock bought all those spots, not WWE.
ON 3rd and Long, Stafford to Beckham for 35 yards. GOT to love that.
Next play, left side for 25 to Henderson and the Rams are MOVING.
Time out Los Angeles. 12:56 to go.
So far, this has been a pretty good game. On the Defense the Rams are doing as well as can be expected. On offense, they're doing what they do.
And TOUCHDOWN.
6 plays 75 yards 2:37 Time of Possession.
I said "Oh that's a touchdown" as soon as the ball was thrown, I could see Cooper Kupp break free.
Rams botch the point after. 10 point lead. Will that mean anything?
Beer Commercials reminding us that Big Lebowski is a great movie. With Steve Buscemi and lots of stars.
Car commericals reminds us that "The Sopranos" was a thing. I mean they go right by Satriales.
Oh shit that's Meadow and Tony Jr. IT"S A SEQUEL!
HEHE.
I'm sports entertained
Bengals start around the 30, nice first down, HOLY CRAP on Second Down, and it's suddenly First and Goal from the 5!
MIRACLE play to be honest. GREAT play by Chase.
Sorry spotted at the 11, 1st and 10.
Pass batted down on First by Von Miller, former Superbowl MVP.
And the Bengals suddenly look worried. Bad pass on 2nd.
Incomplete on 3rd down....so they'll settle for the field goal. Rams defense saves some points.
COMMERCIALS: Nope. We're sticking around I guess until the quarter ends.
Rams have the Ball. 2nd and 10 on the 25.
NOW Commercials:
Sloths are funny. We know dis. Wild animals should not be eating Doritos. Also animals taste buds are completely different than humans. For example birds do not taste spicy foods.
Chuck E. Cheese/Five Nights at Freddy's dog....I think I would have liked this much better if it wasn't for META/Facebook. WTF?
Jordan Peele movie - Yeah, his name sells tickets. And this one is called "Nope". Nice.
NFL Man of the year - Andrew Whitworth rocks.
and with 4 minutes to go in the first, our first penalty - on the Rams. This is good. I hate penalties.
Rams go 3 and out. 2nd punt for them.
Gotta love the shots of my beautiful home town.
Commercials:
Carvana - Blech. No one cares.
Hologic - I guessed that was Mary J Blige
CoinBase - Yeah....uh. Hooked me in. Yes I scanned the code.
NBC - You have some decent shows. Not many. I do like Mr. Mayor.
