Should The Day After The Super Bowl Be A National Holiday Did you know that the day after the Super Bowl, a reported 10.5 million people called in "sick", and 7.5 million went in to work late? Or that ⅓ of the country watches the biggest sporting event in history, this huge sporting event? People are debating about whether everyone should have off of school and work on February 5th, the day after the Super Bowl. Some people say that their child is just too tired to learn, or that they can’t go to work because they can’t stay awake.…
The New York Mets Join Very Elite Company What do the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, New York Yankees, and the New York Nicks have in common? Since one is baseball, two are football, and one is basketball, it can't be anything league related. You might be thinking about championships. After all, the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys are Superbowl Legends and the Yankees have won more World Series championships than any other baseball team in history.…
Since a commercial can be seen from different cultural perspectives, Pepsi analyzes each culture to create a strategy to apply ethos, logos, and pathos correctly. The first commercial is situated in the Super Bowl season, this commercial can make more sense for American people, since this event is unknown in…
Without Dez Bryant, the Dallas Cowboys' offense has been crippled In hopes to improve an offense that’s struggling, the Dallas Cowboys, who’ve been snake bitten with injuries, have made a change at quarterback. Without quarterback Tony Romo, their four-time Pro Bowler and all-time franchise leading passer, the Cowboys were forced to roll with the arm of backup Brandon Weeden, after Romo fractured his left clavicle against the Eagles in Week 2. In three starts, Weeden completed 71 of 98 attempts, completing 72.4 percent of his passes. That looks sexy on paper, but with Weeden under center, Dallas’ passing game didn’t generate plays beyond intermediate distances to stretch opposing defenses for big plays.…
It seems to be do or die for the Cowboys as they head into their much needed BYE week. The Cowboys have had quite the heart wrenching season so far, and that is putting it mildly. Week one the Cowboys suffered the loss of their star wideout in Dez Bryant. As if this wasn't devastating enough the very next week, their playmaker and heart of the offense Tony Romo went during the third quarter resulting in a broken clavicle. So there they were.…
The football that we see in the National Football League (NFL) is the same as the Canadian Football League (CFL), but with different teams and rules. In the NFL, a team has four chances to get a first down (getting the ball ten yards), but in the CFL they only get three chances. Not only is the amount of downs different, but so are the amount of players on the field. In the NFL, there are eleven players on the field, opposed to the CFL, where there are twelve! In the CFL, they can fit twelve people onto the field easier because the field is bigger than the NFL’s field.…
11:00 am I wake up to a perfectly clean room with a perfect breakfast: sausage, pancakes, bacon, and cinnamon rolls all sitting right next to my bed. I eat my breakfast and get ready for the day. I go downstairs to see my friends Austen, Zach, and Elias down there holding four tickets to the Super Bowl game tonight and a jet sitting outside in the field. I had slept in a little past what we had planned on leaving by but it didn’t matter too much we still had plenty of time to do what we wanted to.…
Global Effects The Super Bowl utter dominance within the U.S. fails to translate onto the international stage. It is behind a number of sports, such as soccer, rugby, even cricket. It’s American-centric base excludes the rest of the world, as other countries are much more focused on sports where their own people are competing. Even when referring to the sport, one must say “American Football”, rather than just football, as the rest of the world uses that term for soccer.…
Of all the 2016 Super Bowl commercials, the commercial I have concluded the most effective is the Hyundai commercial with Kevin Hart. However, effective is a subjective word in this case, but the criteria used in my perspective of it is that the commercial created a connection with the viewer, was able to be memorable, and set itself apart as more than “just a product”. Through a mix of storytelling, playfulness, and outrageous acts; Hyundai was able to achieve and surpass those criteria. The first thing that many people, from peers to big companies, pointed out about the Hyundai commercial was Kevin Hart. Hart is an extremely recognizable star for his hilarious comedy and his playful personality.…
Carolina Panthers quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Cam Newton continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. After the Panthers’ much-needed 30-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals this past Sunday, Newton threw down the gauntlet against NFL officiating crews for putting his safety in jeopardy with missed calls on questionable hits. However, Newton’s claims have already been debunked. Henceforth, he should focus on adjusting his game to mitigate the hits he does experience instead of looking for someone to blame.…

A Coca Cola Christmas Undoubtedly, the primary goal of Coca Cola’s 2015 Christmas advertisement is to sell soda to its viewers. However, the subtle ways in which the company convinces the viewers to purchase their product may not be easily recognized by those watching the commercial. The commercial’s positive relation of the Christmas season to Coca Cola aims to create a link between the two in the viewer’s minds. Coca Cola uses this, along with a variety of rhetorical strategies, to help place their product in a positive light for potential customers.…
Advertising influences our lives by striking us with imagery and music everytime we turn on the television, tempting us as customers to buy certain products. From our televisions we are constantly being sold on the idea that the best way to achieve the American dream is to buy more and more. Throughout a commercial, food advertisers stay away from targeting specific genders but instead use other convincing and emotional aspects to influence viewers into buying the products being advertised. Parkin is right that food advertisers use many convincing aspects to persuade viewers into buying their products, but she seems on more dubious ground when she claims that they use gender roles for this use. Parkin states that food advertisers constantly return to themes that demonstrate the connection between cooking and women to promote the belief that kitchen work is a job just for women (Parkin).…
This commercial is also, in a way, made in a skit format, leaving room for a lot of improvs to be done. This is smart logically because now the audience can take a different look at the commercial and have more of what real reactions look like and how this mother would really tackle an everyday mishap. Therefore, the commercial is even more effective because we are getting real reactions from people who are viewing this commercial. Also, because of it being left to improv and showing the real reactions, we get real emotions and that leads into how pathos is shown and used throughout the…
