Super Bowl XLVII will always be associated with the “Blackout”. The NFL chose the New Orleans Mercedes-Benz Superdome to host the event in hopes of showing the world that New Orleans was back on the map for business. Most already knew that, but for the few million who didn’t it was a nice gesture by he NFL. There have been all kinds of conspiracy theories that have come out as a result of the power outage. They have ranged from Beyonce blowing fuses to the guy with the crazy hair from “Ancient Aliens”. In talking to a source of mine the truth finally came out and to be honest it makes more sense than a line of BS about the ‘lost memos’ that were placed next to the Lost Dead Sea Scrolls.
“It wasn’t an accident, Entergy tripped a fuse for security. That outage was done to get Goodell from the suite where he was sitting, to the main level for the Lombardi Presentation.
My source works for Entergy and that was what he said. My friend is one of the higher-ups. My high up inside source added a few other things as well.
‘Put two and two together and it makes perfect sense. What’s the safest way to get Roger to the main level? The entire of New Orleans was just waiting for their shot to heckle, throw or do whatever to Goodell. For God’s sake they had signs up in the window saying “Don’t serve this man”. The best way to make sure Goodell is the most secure is to move him with no visibility not high visibility. They say ” Beyoncé blew a fuse”. That dome has more available amps then Guitar Center does on Sunday morning!
So let’s get this straight. Roger Goodell promises the New Orleans officials another Super Bowl soon in exchange for turning the lights out and taking one for Team NFL. Let’s see shady, backhanded and totally unprovable, yep that sounds like Goodell’s type of handy work.

I don’t know- if this was true would they have delayed it by a full 34 minutes? 10 or 15 would’ve been enough to take away the Raven’s momentum.
I’m more of the opinion it was a crack troop of 9ers electricians. After all, the same thing happened the previous season at Candlestick in a Steelers game. There’s only one team that was in both of those matches…
P.S. Like I said before the game- “Omar comin’”!
