While the game took place deep in the heart of Texas, it may as well have been on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field as far as the Green Bay Packers were concerned.  The Pack stormed out to an early lead and then managed to hang onto it for the rest of the game, playing well enough to keep themselves ahead of the hard-charging Pittsburgh Steelers.  The Green Bay Packers are the world champions of American football, as Green Bay beat Pittsburgh 31-25 in Super Bowl XLV.

Unfortunately, there was no Super Bowl overtime, so no free pizza from Papa John’s.  Still, the game itself was a great contest, very tough and with lots of offensive fireworks to go around thanks to the arm of Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers.  The Green Bay quarterback outplayed his rival on the only field that matters, keeping turnovers to a minimum while scoring three touchdowns and completing 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards.

While Madden 11 was wrong about the final outcome, it was right about the quarterback play making all the difference.  The Lombardi trophy is going back home to Titletown, USA.

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.
