Super Blow XLI

You don't need to know the rules of the game to know a team is preforming badly. This was pretty much the case with Super Bowl or should I say "Super Blow". I have never really made an effort to watch American Sports, they somehow have never given me enough attraction to get me glued into the sport. For me it is always been Football (The European one), Formula 1, Tennis and of course, cricket. I decided to give a chance watching the Super Bowl, and I was cheering The Chicago Bears.

It did not take me too much time to understand the Rules of the Game and know how the points are scored. I have watched rugby few times and was able to co relate the two sports. It was a good start for the Bears in the first quarter to lead the colts by 14-7. This was the only happy time for the Chicago based fans. From the second quarter things started to shift and shift fast. It looked the Chicago bears were substituted by some high school team cause the way the Colts were defending and charging at the Bears, it was disheartening to watch. I was surprised to see that the way Bears played, How did they even get here in the first place? The Final score was 29-17 to the Colts. Everyone was blaming Bears Quarterback Rex Grossman for the failure. Due to his performance and strategies the team did not have the triumph. How could someone or a team perform low in such a Big stage? Well, This reminded me of India playing Australia in the World Cup, which was by far a rampage done by a team in a big stage. Compared to that the Bears had actually played well. I was happy to learn the sport and though bears lost. In the end it all boils down to how a teams performance in the big stage than what they have achieved.
