Endearing Myself to Richard Sherman
My knowledge of the NFL is woeful, but after hearing about the Seahawks’ Richard Sherman go off during an interview, I wanted to check it out. Here’s the interview after the conclusion of Seattle’s win over San Francisco.
Whoa! But then check out his Sports Illustrated explanation along with this commercial from the Beats.
Whoa times two. And that old school name, “Richard.” Whoa times three. Stanford grad? Whoa times four. All I know is that Richard’s outburst certainly is giving the Super Bowl an early start on the hype.
Update: This is a great article about Richard Sherman.
Nerds Are Hot!
After watching GoDaddy’s #thekiss commercial during Super Bowl XLVII, nerdiness has taken a different light. Jesse Heiman, who played the nerd to Bar Refaeli’s beauty, is getting more attention from the ladies and even more action from Jay Leno.
Much thanks to @abaggy.
Super Bowl 47 Music Picks for the Non-Fans
Although the Non-Fans got together to watch Ray Lewis finish his NFL career as a Super Bowl champion, we did not put together a music playlist. So I took the liberty of assembling a few songs in honor of the Ravens and 49ers in SB47. It goes like this:
- Diamonds – Rihanna. Just how many diamonds are in a Super Bowl championship ring?
- Beauty and a Beat – Justin Bieber. Beyond a sports competition, the Super Bowl is also about beauties and the beats.
- Locked Out of Heaven – Bruno Mars. Dedicated to the 49ers and their fans.
- The Glamorous Life – Despite his past, this championship capped off Ray Lewis’ glamorous life.
- Sweet Nothing – Calvin Harris featuring Florence Welch. Describes the great 49ers comeback in the second half that just fell short.
- Skyfall – Adele. Is that what caused the power outage?
- Radioactive – Imagine Dragon. Or maybe it was something radioactive that spiked the power?
- Stubborn Love – The Lumineers. Ray Lewis’ seventeen year career, all with the Ravens.
- Ni**as in Paris – Jay Z and Kanye West. “No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative.”
- Survivor – Destiny’s Child. Super Bowl XLVII saw the reunion of Destiny’s Child, and the Ravens surviving the 49ers comeback.
Super Bowl 35 Music Picks from the Non-Fans
Back in 2001, the Baltimore Ravens beat the New York Giants, 34 to 7, in Super Bowl XXXV. Fast forward twelve years, and the Baltimore Ravens are once again Super Bowl champs, beating the San Francisco 49ers, 34 to 31, in Super Bowl XLVII.
As tradition, the Non-Fans got together during the Super Bowl for everything but football. Back in 2001, we came up with music playlist.
Oh and I had forgotten all about that huge vat of Zippy’s mac salad.
After the Fast 5…
Comes the Fast and Furious 6 which I think should be called the Furious 6. Anyways, here’s the fast and furious trailer.
It’s all about that airplane crash!
Live Mas
Best Super Bowl commercial of the 2nd quarter goes to Taco Bell for the seniors being young.
Best Super Bowl Branding
Gotta love this 49ers branding – not just the gloves but the custom color Dr. Dre Beats.
Will You Be “Kaepernicking” During the Superbowl?
On Superbowl Sunday, will you be Kaepernicking the scores of the San Francisco 49ers? What’s Kaepernicking? Strike this pose after a touchdown, and you’re Kaepernicking.
Strangely Fascinated by Scott Fujita
Whoa, double take. The New Orleans Saints have a linebacker named Scott Fujita? That’s an Asian brother of another color. He got the name, Fujita. But blonde hair? And kids with even blonder hair? That ain’t no Fujita.
Ah I get it. Adopted son. Grandmother in a WWII internment camp. Grandfather fighting with the 442nd. Named the Saints’ Man of the Year and now Superbowl champion. Strangely fascinating.
Superbowl 44 Party for the Non-Fans
What does a Superbowl party look like for non-football fans? It kinda looks like this…
Eat, keep the kids entertained, eat, watch the commercials, eat, talk about Pink’s Grammy performance, cheer on the underdog. Geaux Saints!
