The No Fun League certainly lived up to its name on January 28th. Not only was this one of the worst Super Bowls, it was one of the very worst championship games, of ANY sport, in recent memory. But give credit to the Baltimore Ravens.
Offensive schemes can be complicated and difficult to learn.
If other teams pick up on this strategy, the reign of the Ravens will be short, since many teams have a pool of greater talent, that could be devoted to a no offense scheme. Still, for this year at least, this virtual perversion of the game of football won the day, if not the ratings. The point of this overlong exercise is that the problem of drug abuse and drug dealing is intractable, given the big money, corruption, and human frailties involved. By far, the best perfs are turned in by the character actors. Don Cheadle and Luis Guzman lead the way, portraying DEA agents.
