The Super Bowl

Just a week ago the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts went against each other in the AFC Championship. The Patriots had an unusual game, with the ending score at 45-7 Patriots. That led to some concerns after the game (Mortenson).

This year we experienced, according to many, the greatest comeback in sports history. The New England Patriots came back from being down 28-3 to end up winning the Super Bowl against the Atlanta Falcons. The NFL has had many crazy games, but where did it all begin? The NFL, founded in 1920, has morphed greatly since the origin, and has immensely impacted the world of sports.

quarterbacks and coach vs. coach. The announcers began the game by talking about each coach, Dan Quinn and Bill Belichick. They described how each coach was in honor to be in their position and to have their team make it this far. Both teams had good seasons, so now it’s time to see who the true champion is. The announcers expressed several times how the pressure was on for each coach, its team and their quarterbacks. They described how this shouldn’t be an easy game for either team.

New York Giants versus New England Patriots, Super Bowl XLII: And the Patriots make the list once again, this time with a much different outcome. 16-0 in the regular season and 2-0 in the playoffs for a grand record of 18-0 heading into the Super Bowl, the Patriots were eyeing perfection. The Giants on the other hand barely snuck into their Wild Card slot. Easy win, right? It was back and forth the whole game. Then, at the end, with the Patriots up 14-10, the Giants are put into third & long. Eli Manning takes the snap, gets grabbed by a few defensive linemen, breaks free, and hurls the ball downfield, and David Tyree makes the best catch in NFL history. Plaxico Burress’s catch was just icing on the 18-1

In 2009, arguably one of the best Super Bowl was played in Tampa, Florida. This game featured the AFC champions Steelers and the NFC champions Cardinals, in which the Steelers prevailed 27-23. As any football fan could tell you the score of this game was not a low one at all. For the cardinals to put up 23 against the Steelers number one defense was shocking. Even more stunning, was to see the Steelers offense generate enough offense to put up 27 point. The Steelers offensive game had been struggling throughout the season, but their hard hitting, alert defense made up for it. Yet, this game is no joke a tam cannot win if any part of their game is slacking. Knowing this the Steelers came out ready to play. This game wasn’t just a high scoring

The NFL is investigating whether the New England Patriots intentionally deflated footballs during their victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Sunday's rain-soaked AFC Championship Game.

The Lions went to the Post season but lost to the Cowboys. Many believe the game should have been won. They had terrible calls and played pretty well in an outmatched game. The team had the talent to make a Superbowl run, but the refs bad calls stopped it short. A team with a real Superbowl run, the Seattle Seahawks, actually made the Superbowl although they fell just short to the New England Patriots. The Patroits didn’t exactly earn the game in some opinions but have a talented team with a lot of Superbowl experience. Pete Caroll should have chosen to run the ball instead of throw

Just eight teams remain with a chance to capture the Vince Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl 50 next month. Of those eight teams, four of them feature a quarterback that was selected No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft (Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, Alex Smith, Cam Newton), which is the first time in NFL history four quarterbacks selected with the top pick will play in a round of the playoffs. Below is a preview of this weekend’s NFL action.

This year we have the Falcons versus the Patriots. The Falcons might be a little intimidated because they were not predicted to be in the Super Bowl this year. The Patriots are confident because they plan on hiding all the official’s flags this year to prevent any penalties. They had to step it up the scandal this year. The Commissioner dislikes Tom Brady; therefore, he will be cheering for the Falcons this year. The Commissioner is trying to suspend Tome Brady for his scandal last year and giving his the trophy would be the last thing he wants to do.

With the exception of the Steelers who had to deal with the Patriots for a career playoff fourth time, not a one of us thought these high powered offenses would be stopped. To many of us, these teams represented – in the words of Mike and Mike – “stone cold lead pipe locks” and surefire winners for that upcoming Super Bowl season. I mean how many number one defenses have ever shut down number one offenses? The New York Giants defense was ranked seventh in 2007 when they entered the playoffs. The number one ranked Steelers defense couldn’t even handled the Patriots that year. But as it stands, great defenses seem to have a way of cutting great offenses down to size.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once famously said during one of his sermon in Alabama that, “A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true (Selma).”One attempt to live up to this ideal is the documentary created by Chris Rock called Good Hair, but the film is an attempt that falls very short of that ideal. Good Hair itself is poorly made, the facts are questionable or nonexistent, and the tone is almost insultingly relaxed for an issue that is very serious. Because of all of this, Good Hair should be left off the English 122 syllabus next semester.

To connect to the economic power that generates through the Super Bowl one must understand the historical pattern of revenue, ticket cost, and attendance the game exhibits in the week leading up to the actual showdown. The ticket prices of the Super Bowl are the main catalyst into understanding what every consumer is willing to spend and how much revenue the game brings to that city. In 1967, the first Super Bowl tickets were no higher than 12 dollars and the average price of a home was less than 25,000 dollars (Smith, 2012). In 2016, the average ticket price was 1,325 dollars making a big ascendance from 1967 (Depietro, 2017). Therefore, this also shows how the game has become more popular since it has come into existence and ticket prices

The passage of Job 3 is Job at his absolute worst. Job has just experienced his children die, the loss of his wealth, and his food. Things couldn’t get worst for Job. Directly after Job experiences suffering he immediately laments and calls out to God. He complains to God that he is not at rest and that life would be better and restful if Job was dead. This passage isn’t as much about a suicidal maniac but about understanding how much suffering Job is going through and how badly he wants rest or relief. Job asks God, why he caused so much pain to him and is there an end to Job’s pain. Job 3 is a great passage of lament look like- Job calls to God has said in verse 23, calls God to give him rest (26), complains of his birth,

Wireless sensor networks are the networks that gather information such as environmental information, which there are numbers of applications of WSN such as healthcare, building monitoring, forest fire, smart home etc. WSN is capable of sensing, processing and communicating independently. However, as most of the sensor nodes are powered by non-rechargeable battery, the limitation of energy supply has considerably reduced the lifetime of the sensor network. Hence, new designs of sensor node network and energy efficient MAC (Media Access Control) and protocols for long term autonomous monitoring wireless sensor network has become the next vision.

Chinua Achebe’s novel Things Fall Apart achieves the postcolonial purpose of humanizing the victims of colonization from history’s dominating cultures because it shows the colonized as dignified and respectable. This is because of the way Achebe shows the colonized people before the colonizers came and laid waste to their entire culture; he lets the reader understand more about the victim and therefore evokes a stronger feeling of sadness when the missionaries ruin their way of life. By letting the reader see the Ibo people pre-colonization, Achebe is humanizing them and causing the reader to care more about the events that befall them. Achebe causes the reader to feel empathy through his chapters of the Ibo people before the missionaries arrived.
