On the Minneapolis Super Bowl website, the Super bowl organizers reassure visitors that all their needs…

The automobile has long been seen as an icon of American heritage and consumerism. Dodge’s super bowl ad “Wisdom” deviates from the standard commercial norms by using a variety of senior citizens to appeal to a younger audience. Dodge successfully delivers a commercial that captures the spirit of the American automotive industry through the use of the narratives delivered by old men and women of America. The video begins with several senior citizens instilling words of elderly wisdom on the…

When negotiating this new deal with the NFL for Sunday Night Football (SNF), it is important to consider three things: the cost vs. the benefits of having SNF, alternative sports/programming that would provide similar or greater benefits that SNF currently provides, and the rise of streaming and cord-cutting. Obviously, NBC Sports would like to keep SNF. Currently, NBC pays $950 million per year for its SNF package (Sandomir, 2016). In the past, it has been a lucrative advertising program for…

his first year of coaching the Packers, they had seven wins and five losses. Vince Lombardi received the award of Coach of the Year. The following year, the Packers won the regional title and were on the brink of winning the Super Bowl. The third year the Packers won the Super Bowl. These were the same failures that were on the team before Lombardi came. There was a change, and that too a positive change because of Vince Lombardi, the team leader. This example shows that a leader makes a…

Aside from its importance to me, the terrible towel has a rich history that makes it important to every person who is a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the city. This importance begins with the towel’s creation in the mid-1970’s. The Pittsburgh Steelers played the Baltimore Colts in 1975 for the divisional championship game. It was a home game for the Steelers and Myron Cope met with WTAE, Pittsburgh’s main radio station, to voice his opinion about promoting an object that would raise…

game. On the other hand, the Falcons are fresh off of a super bowl appearance and have just defeated the Rams in the last round, highest scoring offense. The Falcons rank top ten in both total offense yards and defensive yards allowed.

My twelve year-old self bolted out of the Carteret Middle School doors and into the icy cold. I had thirteen minutes to make it across town to the library where I would begin my first job as a tutor. The shiny, slippery ground mocked me as I stepped cautiously forward. It seemed to be willing me to fall, to give up. My father would have driven me had he not been in the hospital or rehabilitation center off and on for the past two years. I continued walking as fast as my legs could safely carry…

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.…
