Super Bowl LI

So it's Super Bowl Sunday.

Patriots and Falcons will kick-off at 6:30pm.

Living in the New England and the Northeast, there are a lot of Patriot fans around here. However, for the majority of people who are not Patriot fans, people are rooting for the Falcons.

I am one of those rooting for the Falcons, but just hope we get a good game.

If the Patriots win, Bill Belichick and  Tom Brady will have the most Super Bowl victories for a coach and quarterback combination of all-time. Currently the Patriot duo is tied with the Steeler's duo of Chuck Knoll and Terry Bradshaw.

I previewed the game and gave my prediction in The Spectrum. You can read that here.

I am sure, in addition to watching the game for the football aspect, I will be watching for the broadcast purpose. The game is on Fox, with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the booth, along with Erin Andrews on the sideline.

In honor of the Super Bowl, had to watch this earlier today.

Brett Favre was drafted by Atlanta and then traded to the Packers. That's a good reason to root for the Falcons. #RiseUp

Good luck to all the Patriots fans I know.

That's All She Wrote.....On The Packers Season

At least the Packers didn't rip our hearts out with another late-game playoff loss. But a loss is a loss and their season has come to an end. 

Green Bay lost to the Falcons 44-21 in the NFC Championship Game, and the game wasn't even that close.

Congrats to the Falcons and best of luck in the Super Bowl.

The Packers came back from a 4-6 record and won eight in a row to make the NFC Championship Game. In that respect, it was a good season and was a fun ride as a fan. However, just as with the Yankees, it was unsuccessful because it did not end with a championship.

Aaron Rodgers is a fantastic quarterback, but injuries hurt the Packers and then need to play better defense. This is not just coming off of today, because Atlanta has a great offense, this has been the last few seasons. 

Crazy that it had been seven years since the Packers Super Bowl. That's not a long time for most teams, but the fact that Green Bay has been in the playoffs every year since then and not made it to the big game, it feels like forever.

I feel like changes need to be made (others saying it as well), but I've been saying that for the past few years and no much has happened, so we will see. 

If it's Falcons vs Patriots in the Super Bowl, I'm rooting for Atlanta. If the Steelers beat the Patriots, I'll be pulling for Pittsburgh in the big game.

To that end, I'll be writing a Super Bowl Preview for The Spectrum, The Spectrum Heart University Student Newspaper. The preview will come out a week from Wednesday, so be sure to check it out. 

Good luck to the Steelers and Patriots in the AFC Championship. 

Forever and always, Go Pack Go.
