In honor of the national holiday known as Super Bowl Sunday, this edition of the Round-up will be devoted entirely to the very GIF-worthy Super Bowl XLVIII.
Weekly Sports GIF Round-up – Super Bowl Edition
Coin Flip Fail
Super Bowl XLVIII started on a comical note with New York legend — and, guessing by his super swag fur coat, New York pimp — Joe Namath prematurely flipped the coin before either team had actually called a side.
Safety first!
Broncos fans should have known they would be in for a rough night when Broncos center Manny Ramirez launched the ball flying past Peyton Manning’s head ON THE VERY FIRST PLAY for a safety to give the Seahawks a 2-0 lead after just 12 seconds.
Think the MVP saw it coming? Not likely.
MVP’s INT + TD
It would be all downhill from there as Seahawks linebacker and game MVP Malcom Smith would intercept a deflected Manning pass and return it for a touchdown.
Halftime Show
In between the Seahawks’ beatdown of the Broncos, the very flexible Bruno Mars delivered an out-of-this-world halftime performance.
Harvin’s Return
Speaking of returns, Percy Harvin returned from a concussion suffered against the Saints to return the very first kickoff of the 2nd half all the way to the endzone.
Thoughts, Peyton? #ManningFace
Slippery Receivers or Sloppy Secondary?
Not about to let the defense and special teams have all the fun, the Seahawks offense unleashed some acrobatics on Broncos D
Jermaine Kearse spun not once, but TWICE as he broke through FIVE pathetic tackles by the Broncos secondary en route to another TD.
Doug Baldwin also got into the act by slithering his way past — once again — FIVE Broncos defenders for the touchdown that put the game well out of reach.
Bath Time
By the fourth quarter, the only thing left for the Seahawks to do was douse head coach Pete Carroll in the traditional Gatorade bath.
