Never in a million years did I think the Denver Broncos would be able to beat the New England Patriots in Sunday’s NFC Championship game, even though the Broncos were playing at home.
I just figured that at these points in their careers and with their present physical conditions, Tom Brady would be able to get the best of Peyton Manning. But the Broncos’ defense came through big time, treating Brady like the little silver ball in a pinball machine.
On the other hand, I had a feeling the Carolina Panthers might run over the Arizona Cardinals, and I was right about that.
So now, we have two teams left, and on February 7, they will play in Super Bowl 50 for the NFL championship.
One team will win. One team will lose. One city will celebrate. One city will ponder what could have been.
If I had a rooting interest in this game, which I don’t, I know where I’d go to celebrate if my team won.
- If the Panthers were to win and I were in Charlotte, I would celebrate at Customshop.
As noted on the restaurant’s website, Customshop is a modern trattoria with a neighborhood feel, located in the heart of Charlotte.
