The Super Bowl

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.

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

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.

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

Super Bowl XXXVI was a matchup between the New England Patriots and the St. Louis Rams. It was suppose to be a day where the Rams’ prolific offence add their second Lombardi Trophy. “New England was a 14 point underdog. The third highest spread in super bowl history.” (McGinn 278)

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 ’85 Bears completely demolished the Patriots in Super Bowl XX. The ’01 Patriots stymied the “Greatest Show on Turf” St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. The ’07 Giants stomped out and over the undefeated Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. The ’14 Seahawks overloaded Peyton Manning’s Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. The ’16 Broncos derailed the freight train looking Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.

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.

It is alarming to know the Super Bowl also contributes to the largest human trafficking event in U.S. A surcharge could be levied on all Super Bowl events and uses the money to support law enforcement agency for responding and cracking illegal human-trafficking. The businesses that benefit with Super Bowl could do more by supporting the trafficking victims through NGO and other agencies as part of their corporate social responsibility.

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.

1. Without a doubt the best play of the game would be Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller's sack of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton that forced a fumble. The fumble was recovered for a touchdown, and was really the first (and one of the few) impact play of the game. Miller went on to win MVP and his team the Super Bowl, and this clutch play early on in the game definitely had some influence on both those things. It also set the defensive tone of the game. However, I think the best play of the Super Bowl in general would have to be the infant's quick moves out of the womb in the Doritos commercial. That baby had, arguably, more speed than Miller when he got around the Panthers's offensive line to make the sack, and the newborn deserves

After a 10-6 season in 2007 in which Seattle lost in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, they really fell off the next season. That’s where the calm will start for the Seahawks, in the 2008 season. In this season, Seattle didn’t even have a consistent starting quarterback. The Seahawks went back and forth between both Seneca Wallace and Matt Hasselback this season, as Wallace started 8 games, Hasselback started 7 games, and even Charlie Frye started a game in this miserable season for Seattle. This season started off with the Buffalo Bills crushing the Seahawks, beating them 34-10. This Bills team finished 7-9, so it’s not like they were defeated by a contender or anything. This week one disappointment was already causing worry in Seattle

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,
