Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots was, unfortunately, mostly a snoozefest (other than Bad Bunny’s halftime show, which was fab.) However, there was a moment early in the 4th quarter where the Pats seemed to have a little momentum and appeared primed to make an effort at a comeback. But then just as the game was finally getting interesting, Pats QB Drake Maye threw a truly horrendous and inexplicable interception. The pass went directly to a Seahawks defensive back, with no Pats receiver within 10 yards of the ball. Even my wife–no great football fan, who spent the entire game knitting a sweater–wondered aloud, “Who was he throwing the ball to?”
Veteran announcer Cris Collinsworth, who has played in and provided color commentary for multiple Super Bowls, appeared speechless watching the interception. After a long pause of dead air, a replay of the interception began to play and a befuddled Collinsworth mumbled into the microphone, “Ummmm…I’ve got nothing for you here.”
That is exactly how I felt while trying to think of a new blog post idea to remind you that the CMEpalooza Spring abstract submission deadline is coming up on Monday, February 23. Click here to read all the important details.
Beyond that reminder, ummmm…I’ve got nothing for you here. Hopefully the rest of your day will be more successful than that Drake Maye pass attempt.
(Side note: Is this Eagles fan relishing in the Patriots defeat by rubbing it in a little bit more? Definitely.)
