Super Bowl LI: Who Will Come Out Victorious?
Pats Pulpit

In two weeks it's the biggest game in football history: The Super Bowl. A lot of history has been made in this game especially when it comes down to the clutch catches, field goals and not to mention the best teams in the league. You heard it here first: this is a year that will make history.

First off the Super Bowl game that was ever played was in 1967. Any guess on who played in the first game? I'll give you a hint they were both in this year's playoffs. The two teams were the Green Bay Packers, who were defeated pretty bad against the Falcons and the Kansas City Chiefs who were eliminated by the Steelers in a close one. This game would be the first of many in the now called NFL, because back then it was a championship game between the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL).

This year's Super Bowl is between neither of these teams. The two organizations playing for the Lombardi Trophy this year are the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons. Both are very good teams and are ready for the battle to be named champions. The last time the Falcons were in the Super Bowl was back in 1999 in SB XXXIII. The Patriots last appearance was not too long ago as it was in 2015 when they beat the Seahawks.

This year's Super Bowl will be a great one. The Patriots who are one of the tougher teams in the league and the Falcons who are a young and rising powerhouse to play. The Patriots are a team that has had a lot of scrutiny as due to the deflate-gate, spy gate, and other problems. However, they are back to prove that they are able to win a Super Bowl without doing anything. As for the Falcons, this team with seven players from their defense having at most two seasons under their belt want to prove that they can win with inexperience.

Both teams are looking good as they both have very good quarterbacks and great players on both defense and offense. it's going to be a great game to watch as these two teams face each other on the gridiron. This quarterback matchup will be one for the ages. A quarterback who was drafted with the 199th pick and a quarterback who is searching for his first ring and giving his franchise their first ring as well.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
