Super Bowls, Past and Present

Last night’s Super Bowl is now one for the record books. Overall, it was a good game. The Chiefs won. The first half was a bit of a sleeper and could have been skipped. I guess that is why they tacked on a third half at the end. The commercials were rather meh. Taylor did not get engaged. Beyoncé broke the internet, again. Did I miss anything? I guess that I was still keyed up over the close game, because afterwards, I watched a movie about football. American Underdog is the story of Kurt Warner and the role that he played in winning the Super Bowl here in Saint Louis. This biopic stars Zachary Levi as Warner. Levi is more famous for his more recent Shazam superhero movies. Costarring is Anna Paquin as Brenda Warner. The movie dwells on Warner’s football beginnings, with emphasis on his stint playing arena football. Eventually, he was noticed by the Rams. After a tryout, he was signed. When the Rams’ starting quarterback was injured, he stepped in and stepped up to lead the team to victory, as part of the so called “Greatest Show on Turf.”
