The Most Substantial Occurrences During The Indy and New Orleans Super Bowl

This year’s Super Bowl was definitely one that kept all the fans of the game watching it and getting so much out of it, just like the last two Super Bowl games were. That is so refreshing when you think about the games that took place in prior years before these three and how they were just disappointing to the fans.

Now, the Indianapolis Colts were heavily favored to come away with the victory at the Super Bowl, but, much to everyone’s surprise, the New Orleans Saints won instead. This was largely due to the fantastic way that Drew Brees and the rest of the Saint’s offense performed in the game; however, their defense did equally as well when dealing with the Colt’s quarterback, Peyton Manning.

Let’s take a look at a few of the top stories from Super Bowl XLIV. If you missed out on the game, here are the things you should know about.

He started off a little shaky, but once that passed, Drew Brees had an almost perfect game.

Dealing With Down Slopes on a Golf Course

Where I lived in the south of Scotland, I would sometimes play golf at a course which was on the side of a large hill. Apart from a few holes, most of them were either perpendicular uphill or downhill. It had been these holes with downward slopes that gave me the most difficulty.

For all those of you that have played a golf course like that, you almost definitely know how problematic hitting from a downhill lie can be. This is principally challenging for weekend golfers, that have little practice hitting from this kind of lie. Hitting off a downhill slope is largely a matter of making the appropriate adjustments. Here are a few adjustments which will enable you to play from a downward slope.

Consideration for the Downhill Slope Shot

In essence, you must position the golf ball back in your position, swing using the slope, and chase the golf ball down the slope. There are 2 things to keep in mind when confronted with a downward lie; a shot from a down slope has a tendency to fade right plus the slope will influence your club choice. Even though you hit the ball cleanly, it’ll tend to fade right, so learn to deal with it by aiming a little left of the target.  Read more...

Will The Ravens Make It To The Big Game?

The Baltimore Ravens are, what many sports enthusiasts would call, infants in the NFL. The originated in Cleveland, and after much debate, Art Modell finally got his wish of moving them to Baltimore. They did not have their own stadium, at first, so they plated in Memorial Stadium, home of the Colts. It only took two years for their stadium to be ready; although, the name of the stadium changed numerous times over the next ten years (it took some time for the team to settle in).

After they moved to their new stadium, the Ravens did not overly improve their game, not even with coach Marchibroda. Their first season ended at a 6-10 record, nothing overly impressive. After only two years, in their new stadium, the head coached was replaced with Billick. Billick’s first season, with the Ravens proved to be a difficult one. Once the team got over the hump of having a new coach, and a few rough years behind them, they ended their ‘99 season with a 8-8 record; the best they’d seen yet.  Read more...

The Chicago Bears – A Hopeful 2010 Season

The Chicago Bears, beloved NFL franchise since 1919, have had many glorious years, with many more to come. This is one of those old-time teams that has a place in the hearts of thousands; a team full of passion and fight, a team that does what it takes to get to the end. Two short years after they were founded, the Bears began their rivalry with the Green Bay Packers, one thing fans can count on year in and year out. One year after this rivalry began, the Bears took their current colors, and have kept them ever since. That is one of the great things about this team, besides their talent, the fact that they are stable and are not going anywhere anytime soon.

Wrigley Field, another popular field to Chicagoans, was used as the Bears’ stomping grounds in the old days, mostly for scrimmage games. The team, obviously, needed a stadium they could call home, which they had not too long after they were a team, a stadium we all know as Soldier Field. Over the years the stadium has taken a lot of abuse, and required quite a bit of remodeling. The entire stadium was pretty much tore down and rebuilt by 2003, leaving only one wall from the original stadium. The new stadium was so different and new, in fact, that it was even renamed the Soldier Field II.  Read more...
