Football season is over for the NFL now. The Super Bowl ended the season with the New England Patriots winning 24- 21 against the Eagles. Super Bowl XXXIX had all the makings of a great movie. The stars, the action, and the drama...

Philadelphia Eagles' Donovan McNabb had 357 yards and 3 touchdowns, but the 3 interceptions were what killed his game. Now reports of him being sick have hit the air. Maybe that could explain why he killed too much time getting to the line when they were down by 10 in the 4th. We all sat in shock that the Eagles looked like they were trying to run the time out instead of trying to score a touchdown.

Terrell Owens played. Okay, no one was surprised by him playing. Terrell was the only person that wasn't surprised by how well he played. He was coming off the injury list from December. He was playing like he had a new ankle. He had 9 catches for 122 yards.

Tom Brady was not MVP again, but his New England teammate Deion Branch was. He tied the Super Bowl record with 11 catches. Branch had 133 yards. Brady had 236 passing yards and 2 touchdowns. Not a bad game for a non- MVP.

The musical talent was great. America the Beautiful was perfect by Alicia Keys and the late Ray Charles. The tribute to the troops was touching with the National Anthem. The half time show was a family friendly show with Paul McCartney.

The musical talent made up for the bad commercials. With the cost of commercials going to an all time high this year, I would have thought the commercials would have been better. Some companies even used old commercials. You just spent millions to air an old commercial. Why?

So to end the season for the NFL, I would like to say thanks to the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles for a great game. We can't wait to see what you have for us next year.
