Super Bowl Essay

The NFL was founded on September 17, 1920 and was known as the American Professional Football Association (APFA). It was renamed in 1922 as the National Football League or NFL. In 1920 there were eleven football franchises to form the first professional football league compared to the 32 teams that form the league now. The original teams are: Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Tigers, Dayton Triangles, Akron Professionals, Rochester (N.Y.) Jeffersons, Rock Island Independents, Muncie Flyers, Decatur Staleys, Chicago Cardinals, and Hammond Pros. Jim Thorpe was elected as the league's first president. In 1970 NFL's rival league AFL merged their schedules and formed two conferences in which the AFL became AFC and NFL became NFC.

The Carolina Panthers had to come out of the locker room after the first half needing to get something going if they were going to come back and beat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. The first half was dominated by the defense. Whose defense would be able to hold out for the rest of the game would determine who would win the Super Bowl.

Every person ever associated with football knows how the game is played. They know every rule, play, stat, and anything else that can be recorded. There was a certain one of these people, though, that stood out from the rest. This was a man by the name of Vince Lombardi. Most people generally know who Vince Lombardi was. They know him as the former, and most famous, coach of the Green Bay Packers back in the late fifties and early sixties. They also recognize him as the man the trophy awarded to the Super Bowl winner, the Lombardi Trophy, is named after. This is all common knowledge in the football world. Do any of these people know who Vince really was? Do they know what he did to the game of football? Do they know that he changed the

In the last five years, either an NFC West (Seattle twice; San Francisco) or NFC South (Carolina Panthers; Atlanta Falcons) team has represented the conference in the Super Bowl. However, as divisional powers shift, we could see a shakeup in the NFC during the upcoming season. With the NFL Draft completed and training camps beginning, let’s look at the NFC teams that could represent their divisions in the 2017-18 playoffs.

At 7-1 the Patriots are heading into the bye week as the definitive best team in the NFL. They are light years ahead of every other team in the NFL. Their offense is as dynamic as ever; with an abundance of targets for Tom Brady to throw to, opposing defenses look lost. No longer are the only reliable targets Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman. LaGarrette Blount is having a career year. He’s on pace to rush for a career high in yards and touchdowns. He’s also on pace for a career high in carries.

Just caught the tail end of the Steelers win in the Super Bowl against the Cardinals, shown on the NFL Network. It's hard to convince me that the throw from Ben and catch by Santonio Holmes is not the best ever. Especially, under the circumstances. To win the Superbowl on that play, still amazes

Vince Lombardi Vince Lombardi was a great man, many say. He exemplified that American ideal that greatness can only be achieved by hard work and discipline. However, Lombardi’s life was far from perfect. He did not begin his career as the head coach of the great Green Bay Packers of the 1960’s; hardly, as he began as a lowly assistant at a run down Catholic high school, just scraping by.

In the 1960’s not only did almost every high schools have cheer squads but most colleges had squads too. NFL teams began making cheer teams in 1960’s too.The first NFL cheer team was in Texas and known as The Dallas Cowboys. It was quite vicious to make that NFL cheer team! . “There was a mother in Texas who tried to hire a hitman to kill a rival cheerleader, so her daughter could be on the squad.” In 1965 was when the first pom- poms were actually made. They were called Pom- pons not pom-Poms as they are here in 2017. Cheerleaders were pretty successful in the 1960’s. In the 1970’s and 80’s cheerleaders started getting more competitive and they added stunts and competitive

The Green Bay Packers have always had in interesting dynamic with its local city and Brown County, which is the county the franchise resides in. According to the 2010 census, Brown County had a population of 248,007 people, and the City of Green Bay had 104,057 people, which makes it the 139th largest city in the United States (Census). The next smallest city with a professional football team is New Orleans, which is the 51st largest city in the country (Census). The reason the Green Bay Packers are so interesting is because they reside in such a small city, that their influence on Brown County’s economy must be large in comparison. Another reason why I wanted to look at the Packers is because they are the only NFL team that

As a company that sales beer to adult consumers one would expect parties and young adults to appear in their commercial. However, Budweiser took another approach a couple of years ago by including animals as the main focus point. During the super bowl in 2015 Budweiser provided a sequel from “Puppy Love” called “Lost Dog”. The first commercial already had 14 million views and was extremely popular with viewers. This commercial is meant for everyone that’s able to drink and the slogan at the end say “#bestbud”.

The Toyota Company presented this commercial by keeping the audience intrigued as to what’s going to happen to the bank robbers. The music fits perfectly with the commercial. Toyota intentionally made the commercial look unscripted. There’s a bank robbery scene where four bank robbers who came out of the bank to find out that their getaway car has been towed from in front of the bank. The funny part was that not one of bank robbers stood in the getaway car. So the bank robbers decide to run with the money bags around the city to end up stealing a red Toyota Prius parked at a public parking lot leaving behind a money bag and a thank you note for the owner of the car. Toyota presented the car in its entirety from the inside of the car to its gadgets for instance the GPA named Lissa according the robbers. Ethos and Pathos was use in this commercial using audience persuasion and emotional appeal.

From the first two national champions, Rutgers and Princeton, to last year’s debateable Auburn national championship winning team, college football has always had difficulties deciding national champions. The BCS National Championship game was thought to give a less prejudice opinion on which teams play in the championship game than humans did. However, it has stimulated more controversy in college sports than Cal-Stanford “The Play.” The problem with the BCS teams is, it chooses two teams that are based on profit, popularity, and record. The BCS is in need of replacement by a playoff system because with a playoff system college football teams have more of an opportunity to show themselves.

The commercial then cuts to a bus filled with clowns. They are throwing around pie and goofing around in the back, while one of the pies strikes the bus driver causing him to be temporarily blinded. Doing so, he blindly tries to turn into the next aane where a brand new Audi A4 is passing. Due to Audi’s steering technology and quality handling, The
