For those not in America, the Super Bowl (the championship game of the National Football League) is a big deal.  It determines some networks’ entire programming schedule, gets record ratings, and even the Super Bowl ads are a big deal.  Everyone watches it, and that’s not hyperbole.  In a pair of tightly-contested games that nearly lived up to the hype, the Super Bowl competitors for Super Bowl LXV have been determined.  Facing off will be the NFC champion Green Bay Packers and the AFC champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

“I’m going to enjoy this,” said Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.  “Shoot, any time you get to the Super Bowl, it feels good.  I don’t care what you’re going through or what’s going on.  We put a lot of stuff behind us early and found a way.”

While it’s not the Jets-themed Super Bowl that the NFL had to be hoping for (given New York’s massive media market), it is a match-up of the two best teams in the NFL, and that’s all anyone can hope for.  The Steelers survived Roethlisberger’s 4-game suspension for sexual misconduct earlier this season, while the Packers have played great all year long behind all-pro quarterback Aaron Rogers.  It’s two of the best quarterbacks int he league facing off with one another (and two of the best defenses in the NFL ready to pound the glory boys into the turf), and I for one can’t wait.  This is going to be a fun one.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
