The Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburg Steelers went head to head today in the forty-fifth annual Super Bowl.  The outcome, the Green Bay Packers taking home the trophy and of course the Super Bowl rings running in a close win over the Steelers thirty-one to twenty-eight.  The game started off in favor of the Packers when they took their second interception into the Steelers end zone to put them up fourteen to three in the first half.  The key to the game from the beginning was the zone defenders on the Packers who were able to get in front of the Steelers receivers and intercept the ball.  It was so key in this game over past games because of the tight defense played by the Steelers.  The Steelers defense held off the Packers offense the entire game by playing tight on players and pushing as hard as they could to the arm of the Packers quarterback in order to prevent the offensive push.  Going into the game the Packers finished off their season eleven and one, while the Steelers only finished their season off twelve and two.  Going into the game the Steelers had two defensive injuries on their team while the Packers had two offensive injuries.  As for the players that stepped into those positions as the mid game footage showed they were told they were gonna need to step up for the game, and on both teams you could see those players stepping it up, and playing there A game.  Although the Patriots did not make it into this years Super Bowl it still affected there fans quite a bit.  As i was told many times during the game if the Steelers won this Super Bowl they would have as many Super Bowl wins this century as the Patriots.  Which Patriot fans did not want to happen.  One of my friends even went as far to say as the only reason many Patriot fans would ever vote for the Green Bay Packers would be to keep the Patriots on top which came true.  Although the half time show was less than enjoyable this years Super Bowl was a close one, and was enjoyable to watch no matter which team came out on top.  And as always the Super Bowl commercials never fail to please.  Personal favorites for the Super Bowl commercials go to the Sleepy's commercial which was unbelievably obviously sexual. And to the commercial for the Hyundai commercial that had the optical illusions circling around the screen.  As for the half time show I think Fergie needs to cut down on the drugs or take a vacation or something because her singing was beyond terrible.  Black eyed peas were not on there game as a band either.  Slash coming through the floor into the performance was unexpected and pretty cool.  Usher's performance was also very good but it looked like he may be lip-sinking in the beginning which always makes live performance seem worse.  Watching him carefully I'm pretty sure at one point his lips are not even moving at all.  I hope that I'm wrong but that would be a very disappointing thing to have come out later on.  All in all super bowl never fails to spice up a Sunday and entertain the millions of people who attend and watch it online and on television.

  1. Jordan,

    Good comprehensive post.

    Watch your facts though; those were not the records of the two teams in the regular season.

    Also, one of the things I want you to work on is focus. You just try to cover too much. In a way, trying to cover this much in so few words forces you to generalize and limit description and elaboration. For example, you say Fergie's voice sounded terrible. I say "When she hit the chorus, it sounded like she was choking on Jack Daniel's and wood chips." Everything you say should be put in context ("when she hit the chorus") and described as vividly as possible.

    Also, work on paragraphs, this will further help your focus and organization. Additionally, it makes people actually want to read your blog when it is NOT all one massive paragraph.

    Good work, I can tell you thought about it. Now just work on communicating those thoughts as clearly and descriptively as possible.

    -F
