Can the Denver Broncos go all the way this year?

   After a heartbreaking defeat on a broken play touchdown at the hands of the eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, the Denver Broncos are in position to have home field advantage throughout the postseason and a great chance to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Led by future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning and their high powered, efficient offense, the Broncos have proved to be nearly impossible to stop so far this year. Can they finish the job this year and win a Super Bowl? At 37, Manning knows he does not have many chances at the title left, especially with an offense that is capable of scoring 30 points every night.

   In the NFC, a defense has been dominating every offense they face. The Seattle Seahawks have the best defense in the NFL and have locked up home field advantage in the playoffs. Enjoying the best home field advantage in the league, the Seahawks are determined not to let Peyton Manning win his second title and instead want to bring the first-ever Super Bowl Championship to Seattle. Having just a single NFC title in their history, and an embarrassing Super Bowl performance, Seattle has a great opportunity for their first Super Bowl championship.

Patriots Hall of Fame: Review

   When Mr. Kraft purchased the Boston Patriots, they were a struggling franchise with only a handful of important wins in their history. Through hard work and upstanding morals, Mr Kraft turned the team into a perennial winner with a huge fan base spanning all of 'New England', hence the name change.
  This is the message of the Patriots Hall of Fame at Gillete Stadium. Mr. Robert Kraft is a savior in the eyes of every patriotic New Englander, and also there were some great players and coaches on the team along the way. Paying tribute to these players and coaches who helped lead the team to three Super Bowl championships in four years and a 16-0 perfect regular season three years later.

   Also, Steve Beauharnis was available to be interviewed by our Sports Reading and Writing class, which was a great experience. Our class was allowed to ask questions relating to his profession and even nonrelated questions. Learning about a professional linebacker for all of our favorite team was an awesome experience and one that I will not forget.
