Since 1963, thousands have been nominated, 295 have been selected in recognition of valuing the five most important characteristics of sports throughout their football career; commitment, integrity, courage, respect and excellence. Fourteen years of living his dream playing football, countless hours of each day, hard work turning into gallons of sweat. And for what? A career gone to waist? Sixteen lives never the same, 4 states left with scars? Twenty thousand dollars and eighteen years in prison? Darren Sharper had the life millions dream of, and he made the choice to throw it all away. Darren Sharper was a NFL hero, he earned his first super bowl ring when the New Orleans saints defeated the Indianapolis colts in super bowl XLIV.

Both the Calvin board and others, including me, worry that creating a football team is not in the school’s best interest. The main reason…

First, I helped prepare dinner and snacks before the Super Bowl. We had a variety of food from pigs in blankets to guacamole to barbecue chicken wings, some of the classic Super Bowl recipes. I watched the beginning of the game and the halftime show. They called to the field some of the MVPs from past Super Bowl winning teams. Then, Joe Montana flipped the coin and the Panthers chose tails and they won. The funniest commercial, in my opinion, was the T-Mobile commercial with Steve Harvey.…

allowed to be scored by the opposing team, the less games resulted in wins. Both hypotheses that were stated before doing any bit of analysis, were in fact, accurately supported by the data presented in the scatter plots. This project has proved that keeping score, is in fact, very important, especially when determining who will be going on to play in the NFL Super Bowl. Each NFL team’s stats are also vital when ranking the times not only amongst the teams in their conference, but amongst the…

In Google’s 2017 Super Bowl commercial, “Home by you.

For anyone who remembers this year’s Super Bowl LI commercials or the conversation surrounding them, then they may remember that many advertisers decided to take on a message of unity and diversity within America in their ads. It could be assumed that this was due to the more recent trends of making sure that there is more diversity or potentially in light of the presidential election. Regardless of the intensions, Google was no different than other advertisers in that they too decided to make a…

My favorite Superbowl commercial, was the Prius commercial. Mainly because it reminds me of one of my favorite movies, The Blues Brothers. My favorite part especially was at the end when all the cop cars were really close together, and the car put on the breaks automatically, then they just swerved their way through the cop cars because the cops were sleeping. Also, I know it had to do with three very illegal things, robbing a bank, stealing a car, and running from a police chase, but oh well.…
