Super Bowl I

comments to Dez Bryant on the phone while Dez is sitting in Jerry’s office after signing the contract "Congratulations," Jones said. "Let 's just win five Super Bowls in a row, how about it?" "Yes sir, we are," Bryant replied. "I think this is the year. We got it." Big statement there by Mr. Jones. We all know how hard it is to win one Super Bowl in the NFL, let alone win five in a row. Jerry really wants another chance at winning a…

The spectacle that we call the Super Bowl is nonetheless amazing to the senses; not only the eyes, but the heart. The money making super giant that is the NFL, continually surprises, amazes and ultimately disappoints us in ways we forget, year after year. In this discussion, football shall be a focal point, but not the main topic. Our topic concerns something much larger than football (Huh? Gasp! Couldn’t be!), a topic that is intertwined with everything and anything we do; the sociology of our…

The novel Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy, one of the most successful football coaches ever in the National Football League.

The lessons I have been taught are overcoming adversity, striving for you goals, and what it takes to become a champion. The book Quiet Strength is about a coach that had to overcome many situations because of his race and size. Coach Dungy started…

and black players. Even on the biggest stage of the year, the Super Bowl, there often is not any exception to this. This year, we saw the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons battle in Houston for the Lombardi Trophy. Fox was on the call, with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the booth. Buck was only doing play-by-play, so it was Aikman who was giving these labels to certain players. When talking about white players in the Super Bowl, Troy Aikman often resorted to typical labels. New England…

on since Brady was drafted in 2000. Who is the better quarterback? Who’s the best quarterback to ever play in the NFL. It must be one of these two. My money is on Peyton Manning. I don’t want to take shine away from Brady, though, because both are spectacular in their own ways. Let me tell you why it must be Manning. I might be a bit of a bandwagon when it comes to Manning, but there is good reason for it. This man is a God among men. He was a number one overall pick in 1998. He was a major…

On Sunday February 5, 2017, Super Bowl LI took place in Houston, Texas. The best teams from the AFC and NFC face off to see who is the best of the entire NFL. The NFC team was the Atlanta Falcons while the AFC was the New England Patriots, both with high powered offenses and decent defenses. The Falcons started off on fire going up 21-0 with a pick six, rushing touchdown and a passing touchdown. At the end of the half the Patriots only scored a field goal which put them down 21-3 at the end of…

Have you ever been to a super bowl party or seen the seen the super bowl? In this story I will tell the time when I was in a football championship game. Well it might not be the super bowl, but we worked hard like it was. Read my story to find out if we win, at night, on turf, at Dalzell Field. The whole season only one team went undefeated, the Colts. I played on the colts with a lot of my friends. My coach told us that the practice will be harder than games, and they were by a lot. We had to…

The Super Bowl this year sure was an interesting one! The falcons sure thought that they were going to win! Most of us watch the Super Bowl for the game right? Well some of us watch I just for the halftime show. During the actual game the Patriots sure made an outstanding comeback! For those of us who watch it just for the halftime show, that was a great one! The wait was worth it. The halftime show could have inspired the Patriots to comeback for the win! Lady Gaga began her show on the roof of…

and play the great game of football. Talented football players battle it out on the field to see who can win the covenant super bowl title. However, to get to that point, the teams have to have a great regular season record and win games in the playoffs. The disappointment is that only twelve out of the thirty teams get into the playoffs and have a chance to win the super bowl. I propose that the playoffs be expanded to fourteen teams because it will draw more fans to the game, more meaningful…
