Superbowl Champions

THE GAME REQUIRES DETERMINATION. ALONG WITH LUCK AND SKILL. YOU PROVE YOURSELF OVER TIME THAT YOU CAN FULFILL THE BILL. YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO PLAY THE GAME. AND CLAIMED YOU HAD A REASON. YOU VOWED TO DO YOUR VERY BEST. THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE SEASON. YOU'RE THE CAPTAIN ON THE FIELD. SELECTED TO LEAD THE TEAM. COLLECTIVELY FOCUSED ON THE SUPER BOWL. YOU MARCH THEM TOWARDS THEIR DREAM. THERE WERE BATTLES IN THE TRENCHES. PUNISHMENTS WERE DEALT. ALL THROUGH OUT THE SEASON INJURIES WERE FELT. YOU PLEDGED TO PROTECT THE AIRWAYS. WITH THE INTERCEPTED PASS. I SAW YOU HAD YOUR EXTRA FUN. WHEN YOU WERE TALKING TRASH YOU PUT IN MANY HOURS. YOUR WORKOUTS TOTALED TONS. WHEN EVERYONE WORKED HARD TOGETHER , VICTORIES WERE MUCH MORE FUN. YOU PUSH YOURSELF AND TEAM MATES. TO FOCUSED ON THE GAME YOU PLAYED AMONG THE CRAZY CROWDS. AND YOU'RE STILL CONSIDERED SANE. HEAD COACH UNDER PRESSURE. HE MANAGES TO KEEP YOUR COOL. HE LOOKS INTO HIS PLAYBOOK. LIKE IT WAS A TOOL. BACKUPS MADE THEIR DEBUTS. THEY STEPPED UP AND PLUGGED THE HOLES. KICKERS DID WHAT KICKERS DO. ADDED POINTS WITH THEIR FIELD GOALS. LINEBACKERS YOU'RE A SPECIAL BREED. THEY DEFEND THE PASS AND RUN. THEY GO OUT THERE PLAY THE GAME AT THE SAME TIME HAVE SOME FUN. FOOT RACES UP THE SIDE LINES. SOMETIMES DOWN AND OUT. QUARTERBACKS LOVE RECEIVERS WHO CAN RUN A PERFECT ROUTE. RUNNING BACKS CAN MAKE A SEASON. AND PUT ON A FANCY SHOW. YOUR DEFENCE WILL PRACTICE ALL YEAR LONG. TO DEFEND AND SHUT DOWN THE HOLES. SUPER BOWL SUNDAY END OF THE SEASON. A CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE WON. A TROPHY WILL BE HANDED OUT. MEANING YOUR TEAM IS NUMBER ONE. BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RING. WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE. THE MEMORY FADES AND YEARS GOES BYE BUT THE RING IS PROOF YOU WON. Michael E.

Strange thing Michael this morning I watched the news over here in Ireland, they only aired snippets of the half time show, and never mentioned who won, at least your well construed poem is all about the players and game leaving its mark on history, cheers David

Thank you 23 to 20 Rams. Game was won and lost with A minute and a half left in the game. Exciting but not as exciting as super bowl 51. I wrote a poem about that one in detail.
