Super Bowl bites

By Mike Spellman

Two words:

Lights out!

In. Every. Possible. Way.

Admit it:

When Baltimore scored on the opening kickoff of the second half to make it 28-6 and then the lights went out for half an hour, you were running out of things to talk about other than the delicious dip, weren’t you?

Not to worry:

Scoring 17 points in a 4-minute span solves that problem quickly, huh?

Thanks 49ers!

OK, let’s get this out of the way:

Hey GoDaddy.com, one word: Yuck.

And now back to the game.

I’m sorry, but that was holding in the end zone.

It’s official:

Gangnam Style has jumped the shark. And any orcas and dolphins in the area as well

Ready for some footbrawl:

You had to know it was going to be a chippy game Sunday after what had to be the iciest coin toss ceremony in Super Bowl history.

Things I learned Sunday:

I’m not hip enough to drink Budweiser Black Crown nor am I buff enough to wear “Concept” by Calvin Klein.

Dang it.

Catching Flacco:

That would be seemingly every Raven receiver — especially one with the last name of Boldin.

The guy is amazing.

Lovin’ it:

Not too many great ads Sunday, but some did stick out, like the ode to a farmer, the Clydesdale saga, going to prom solo and the nice things caught on security cameras.

If they didn’t make you smile, you just weren’t trying.
