Football has become America’s favorite sport. Everywhere across the country fans of all ages and backgrounds gather around their televisions on Monday night, Thursday night, and Sunday afternoon to watch the games.

It was a great game, meeting and exceeding all of my expectations. This Super Bowl will go down as one of the best including one of the most unbelievable finishes of all time.
