Am supporting Cincinnati as it is named for one of the greatest Romans, as I explained a fortnight ago. #SPQR #SuperBowl

Hopefully the coach of Cincinnati, like Fabius Maximus, brought the team in at half time, as after Cannae, and gave clear orders for attritional warfare against a Los Angeles that has all of the pagan debauchery of Carthage and none of its redeeming features

The Cincinnati hit back, like Scipio at Zama, against this squalid and immoral Los Angeles team .... Realistically, this Los Angeles coach looks like the sort of fellow who would be a back up dancer in the half time show.

Note this sideline melee .... none of the "Rams" poseurs coming to help their teammates .... morale is obviously low .... the LA coach seeing if he can leave the stadium early to get that backup dancer gig ....

Massive defensive effort needed now by the legions of the Cincinnati .... like Caesar at Alesia. #SPQR #SuperBowl

Very well done there by the Cincinnati defensive lines .... the Rams, like the Gauls, left with no way through. Whoever unsheaths and parry/thrusts in the gladius at close quarters will win this battle. #SPQR #SuperBowl

Am open to criticisms of Rugby but there are more flags being thrown about here than at a Vexillography convention #SuperBowl

If the LA team win this, hopefully the referees get the trophy ... they have done the most on the Rams' side to win it #SuperBowl
