Another Blog

After being assigned to write about anything we wanted for our third blog, I really couldn’t think of anything. It’s almost better when I’m just given something to write about because it involves less creativity on my part. At first, I was going to write about the Dark Night because I just saw that movie not too long ago and it really was the best action movie I’ve ever seen. I decided that instead, I would use this blog to talk about the upcoming Super Bowl. Sunday at 7:30, nearly all of America will be tuned in to watch one of the biggest events in sports. I can’t say that I was interested in either team that much this year. As a matter of fact, I haven’t been very interested in this year’s NFL playoffs, even though there have been some very good games. One player has interested me for years and that player is Kurt Warner. When I was only 10 or 11 years old, in addition to being a huge Bears fan, I also was a big fan of the St. Louis Rams. To this day, I still think that team was one of the most exciting to watch. I remember I liked almost every player on their offense such as Isaac Bruce and Marshall Faulk. My favorite player was quarter back Kurt Warner. I loved, and still do, the fact that Kurt Warner went to a small school in Iowa and he was the third string until his senior year season. He did really good that season but still wasn’t drafted. He got signed by the Packers but was cut before the beginning of the season. He ended up playing for years in the Arena League and NFL Europe. Even after so many great seasons, he was benched and put as the second string during his time with the New York Giants. No one thought he could ever do better than being the second or third string quarterback but he proved them all wrong. Now, he is remembered as a great NFL quarterback. He owns so many different records and is one of the most exciting players I’ve ever seen. This Sunday, I’m really hoping to see the Cardinals and Kurt Warner pull off the victory. He won it when I was 11 and I’m hoping he can do it again 8 years later.
