As an owner of a restaurant, I am a part of a team every day. If I had to choose a project, it would be our SuperBowl Sunday. This is our greatest challenge every year because we have an enormous amount of huge orders to fill. Each member of my team has his or her own duties. It is my job to make sure that each member of my team is equipped with everything needed to perform their task effectively and efficiently.…
Every time I watch the Superbowl, I find myself (under the interrogative look of my friends) bitching about the effectiveness of “xyz” commercial that somehow succeeded in producing laughter among the audience. Then I start explaining that too often the joke becomes bigger than the brand and when it does, chances are you will most likely remember the punch line than the advertiser. If you just invested $2.6 million for a 30 sec. and everybody misses the point, it’s a huge waste of money.…
My favorite team is the New York Giants. In 1925 the Giants joined the NFL. The Giants won 4 super bowls 1986, 1990, 2007 and 2010. Some of the best players are Phil Simms, Lawrence Taylor, Michael Strahan, Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. The New York Giants recently built a new stadium in 2011 called MetLife Stadium in which the share with the New York Jets that cost over 1.6 billion dollars. Now let’s talk about the terms they use in Football. The first term is Hike which could be used to say go or to pass the ball to the quarter back who is the player that throws the ball.The next term is touchdown. Touchdown stands for a goal or for scored points and every touchdown is 6 pointsThe next term is offence/defense. Offence is the attacking…
Team spirit. The fans had a lot to do with the team that year, they followed the team through good and bad. After the crash 7,000 people were at the fieldhouse praying, The fans didn't care about the losing season anymore (Sahadi, 2003). The last week of the season the crash happened, after the first game of the season they played and won, they thought they were going to have a winning season, but they had a losing season. It was a long time since they have played and everyone was happy to see them (Wilson, 2006).…
When you think about the Super Bowl what thoughts come to mind? You might think about parties, half time shows, or even commercials, but did you know that the Super Bowl trophy is named after Vince Lombardi? Today I am going to take you on a journey of why Coach Lombardi was a Visionary Leader. He took the worst team in the league and turned them into champions by using his methodical patterns by going above and beyond to know all aspects of his football team. He watched every play and analyzed each player to know their strengths and weaknesses. Next, he used inspirational motivation to get buy-in from his players, coaches, and fans based on his vision to win. Furthermore, I will discuss how he was an Ethical Leader. Coach Lombardi had competing values based off of his Catholic values, but he had openly gay players on his team. Moreover, he used intellectual…
There has been much debate over which sports team is the most successful in the United States. Many teams have had their moment in the spotlight. They rise in popularity only to plummet the following year. Right now the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants are the talk of the entire sports world, but give it a few months and everyone outside of the New York Metropolitan area will forget who even won the game. That is how it is with most champions in professional sports. Fewer than 20 percent of Americans know that the Mavericks are the reigning professional basketball champions or that the Cardinals won the most recent World Series. Though these teams have had great success their fan base is mostly local. They have not established a national following. Over the past 50 years the Dallas Cowboys have used a great winning tradition, slick marketing, and modern merchandising techniques to establish themselves as “America’s Team.”…
“ Have you ever thought about what your favorite football team is?” I have, my favorite is the Green Bay Packers, they have won the super bowl 13 TIMES! :) Aaron Rodgers is their quarterback, he is my favorite player and he has made SO many touchdowns. Clay Matthews is their linebacker and he is an amazing player with super big muscles. One other player who i think is a big part of the Green Bay Packers is Jordy Nelson, he is the wide receiver and he was unranked!…
In the Fall of 2010, I watched my first televised football game from beginning to end. I sat down beside my older brother, Nick, and watched him as he analyzed every play of a Green Bay Packers game. He would scream at the tv when a bad play happened but would rejoice when a good one followed. I wanted to be just like him and know everything about football. I watched every game that season and annoyingly asked Nick every question that came to mind throughout the year. On February 6th, 2011 the Green Bay Packers won their 4th Superbowl title and I knew football like the back of my hand. After the game my brother said to me, “There’s no way you could ever not be a Packers fan now. You’re their good luck charm.” as I nodded, smiling ear to ear.…
Head injuries, including concussions, particularly in the game of American football, have become a subject of deep concern, much study and even Congressional hearings in the United States.…
My favorite player of all time in the NFL is Ray Lewis, he plays defensive linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens. Ray Lewis is a franchise player for the Baltimore Ravens and is entering his sixteenth year in the NFL because of his effort to be the best he can be. While, I play the same position as Ray Lewis and I try to put in the same effort he does to become a great player. Although I am trying to pursue an NFL career and become a legend just like Ray Lewis it takes hard work and dedication to become the best you can be. My favorite motivation quote from Ray Lewis is "You might be bigger, faster, stronger, and better than me, but you are not going to outwork me, because I won't let you". Unlike other players, Ray Lewis is great role model to play the game and he continues to play the game with his heart instead of…

Football is a very fun sport that invalves tackling, pushing, and hitting. Most of the time football is fun just from playing ruff (tackling, pushing, hitting). Kids who play football are always to play games like bull in the ring and oklahoma drills which are very contact drills, and so is football. Now, coaches are thinking about having a limited number of hits in practice. But most players disagree with that statement because football is all about hitting. If they use limited number of hits, then they will take away the fun out of football.…
Is cheerleading a sport? Many strongly disagree that cheerleading is a sport; however, these people are also the ones that have never cheered before. Cheerleading is not just about wearing short skirts, having a loud voice, and whipping their ponytails around. It’s about team work, both physical and mental strength, and determination.…
Many people I know have learned many life lessons while playing the sport of football. Vince Lombardi, the Green Bay Packers former coach, has a quote that no sports editorial can disagree with. I survive by this quote every single day of my life. The quote says “Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.” - Vince Lombardi…
A stereotype is a predisposed idea about a group of people based on limited information you have heard or seen and assumed to be true about every individual in that group. In “Don’t Call Me a Hot Tamale,” Judith Ortiz Cofer describes how being Puerto Rican affects her every day. People make rude comments about her, based on her ethnicity, and without knowing her. Cofer describes how she was stereotyped in different situations. From being compared to a Latina character in a play to having her culture misinterpreted. She does not fight against this prevaricate ideas. Instead, she travels around the United States and reads from her books and poetry trying to clear stereotypes about Latinos. As Cofer describe “replace them with a more interesting set of realities” (Cofer 666). However, individuals are still being exaggerated categorized according to their culture.…
