(This is not a cue for you to ask “How bad was it?” just so I can respond with some lame joke. But don’t worry, plenty of lame jokes will follow. That’s been The Game Manager’s trademark for 21 weeks, and I’m not re-branding in the last column.)
Sure, the game was relatively boring, uneventful, and anti-climactic, but at least it wasn’t a blowout — it was within one score for the first 58+ minutes.
I'm not gonna complain about any Super Bowl that's close. I grew up on Super Bowls that were over by halftime.
