The Carolina Panthers mustered up only ten points against the stingy Denver Bronco defense, which was reminiscent of the 1977 Orange Crush defense which took Denver to its first Super Bowl against the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XII. Dallas struck midnight on Denver's 1977-78' Cinderella season with a 27-10 victory over the Bronco's.
Peyton Manning missed six games due to injury in this years regular NFL season. Back-up quarterback Brock Osweiler was 5-1 with the aide of the pulverizing Denver defense. Manning acquired his second Super Bowl ring on the 7th. He was the MVP of Super Bowl XLI (41) when his then team, the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Chicago Bears 29-17.
Fifty Super Bowls are now in the achieves of American history. A few things have changed since the first Super Bowl was played in January of 1967. In 67,' The Beatles were saturating teenage ears with their master piece "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band" and heavy weight great Muhammad Ali was stripped of his title for refusing to go to war. http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1967.html
Ali was the original rapper without the synthetic noise some have the gull to call music.
"If he starts talkn' jive, I'll get him in five", / "You wanna lose your money, bet on Sonny (Sonny Liston) / "You wanna go to heaven, I'll get him in seven, / "I'll get him in eight because I'm great."
Indeed Ali an iconic boxer back in the day who backed his words with his float like a butterfly and sting like a bee fighting prowess.
When the Green Bay Packers, lead by Bart Starr, crushed the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10 in Super Bowl I, (67') the average price of a house was under $25,000, a brand new car could be purchased for $2,750 and gas was .40 cents a gallon. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/remembering-what-a-buck-could-buy-in-the-1960s.html
Fifty years of championship NFL football and George Carlin's words about America ring true.
"America is divided into three groups of people, the rich who do none of the work and pay none of the taxes, the middle class who does all the work and pays all the taxes, and the poor (homeless) who are there just to scare the s*** out of the middle class, keep them showing up at those jobs," Carlin said.
