Super Bowl 50: A Game For The Ages

Super Bowl 50: A Game For The Ages

The game is set and we're all ready to watch the showdown. The historic 50th anniversary of the most anticipated football game of the year is once again upon us. One of the most beloved sports of our country is setting the stage for its biggest event, as the Denver Broncos take on the Carolina Panthers.

Even those who don't follow the NFL or watch all the games every week are still going to want to tune in. This year's Super Bowl -- Super Bowl 50 -- will literally be a game of the ages. Going into this game, Peyton Manning (the quarterback of the Broncos and one of the best quarterbacks the game has seen), will be the oldest quarterback to play in the Super Bowl. His is 39 years old, and is only about a month and half away from turning 40.

Cam Newton, the quarterback for the Panthers, on the other hand, is still fresh and new at only 26 years old.

The hardened, veteran quarterbacks of the NFL, like Manning, and others like New England Patriots' Tom Brady, have proven their worth and have set their names in stone as some of the best of all time. Young faces, such as Newton's, are the exciting and upcoming faces of the NFL.

This year's match-up of old versus new will be one for the books.

This couldn't be more true with the prospect that this could be the last go-round for Manning. He could possibly be retiring after this game.

After the Bronco's victory over the New England Patriots for the AFC Championship, camera's caught a comment Manning said to Bill Belichick, the head coach of the Patriots.

"Hey, listen, this might be my last rodeo. So it sure has been a pleasure," Manning said. Should Manning win or lose, his legacy will still carry on.

So, which side are you taking? Do you want Manning to go out like every professional sports player dreams of doing -- with a championship? Or do you want the red-hot Panthers to end their amazing season with a trophy and some new jewelry?

We will find out who brings it all home on Super Bowl Sunday.

Watch Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, February 7th at 6:30 p.m.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
