Super Bowl XLV

Football fans were treated to an amazing game in Super Bowl XLV between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. The Packers jumped out to a quick lead on the Steelers and appeared that they would run away with it. The Steelers quickly changed the momentum of the game by scoring a great touchdown just before the end of the first half.



The half time show by the "Black-Eyed Peas" and "Usher" was simply amazing. Their show had everyone in "Big D" rocking and rolling. The excitement and energy from the show definitely transferred into the second half, as it was an exciting and tightly fought game.

In the second half the Packers played without two starting defensive players and their best receiver, while the Steelers played without a starter on defense. If the Packers are "Cheeseheads" then Aaron Rodgers must be "Cheese Whiz," as he played a superb game. Even with the key players being injured, it was one of the best, and most enjoyable Super Bowl games that I have watched. The Packers defeated the Steelers 31 to 25 to earn their 4th Super Bowl. I hope everyone enjoyed the game and all the commercials.

2011 NFC and AFC Championship Games

Football fans were treated to two tremendous games in this years NFC and AFC Championship games. The first game, the NFC Title Game between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears turned into a defensive battle between two teams that have played each other many times. It was a thrill to see these two teams play each other in an intense rivalry, with the Packers prevailing 21 to 14 and moving on to the Super Bowl.



The Second game, the AFC Title Game between the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers was another great battle. Early in the game it appeared that the Steelers would handily defeat the Jets as they were up 24 to 0 at one point. The resilient Jets came storming back to narrowly miss defeating the Steelers 24 to 19.

The Steelers will face the Packers in the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 6. The Super Bowl should be a tremendous contest between two outstanding teams. Sports fans, whether you are rooting for the Steelers or Packers, may your team play a physical and error free game, and your team prevail.
