When the power outage occurred at last night’s Super Bowl, my first thought was there must be some of that strange black magic that New Orleans is known for going on. The San Francisco 49ers did manage to make a miraculous comeback after the power outage, although they ultimately ended up losing to the Baltimore Ravens 34-31.
Seeing the Superdome dimly lit and crowded with people brought back unfortunate images of Katrina. Hard to believe the storm of the century was almost 10 years ago.
One thing that really struck me during the Super Bowl power outage was seeing the football players lying on the turf and stretching. Seeing how limber many of them are was a reminder that even though football players are known for their brute force, many of them have the agility and flexibility of dancers. NFL players are like ballerinas - who knew!
