On Sunday, we saw two teams get destroyed on national television. At 3:05 p.m. on Jan. 22 in the National Conference Championship game, the Atlanta Falcons demolished the Green Bay Packers in a 44-21 win and Atlanta moved onto Super Bowl 51. Atlanta's offense was on fire, quarterback Matt Ryan threw for 392 yards and four touchdowns and NO interceptions!

Ryan is having the season of his career and he heads to the Super Bowl.

As for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay's defense, they weren't even there the entire game. I say that because they just sucked. They couldn't really do much on offense, and defensively, they weren't there.Rodgers threw for 287 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Not the best game for him at all. For next season, the defense needs to improve because if they don't, I don't know what will happen to the Green Bay Packers franchise.

As for the American Conference Championship, at 6:40 p.m., we witnessed another blowout with the New England Patriots beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 36-17. Quarterback Tom Brady threw for 384 yards and three touchdowns, and no interceptions, just like Ryan. Brady looked great on the field and so did the defense. Defensive back Eric Rowe picked off quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to cap off the game in the fourth quarter. Brady is heading to his seventh Super Bowl appearance, the most of any quarterback in history.

For Pittsburgh, they need work. They need to work on their defense greatly because without improvement, they might end up not even going to the playoffs next year. On the subject of needing work, Roethlisberger is getting old. Granted, he's not as old as Brady, but he's getting up there and I don't know how much time he'll have left. Maybe next time, Pittsburgh won't stay in the same hotel that they stayed in because apparently the fire alarm was pulled.

.

On Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m., the final game of the National Football League will be in Houston, Texas as the Patriots face off against the Falcons. It will be the best of the best facing off in a matchup that no one predicted.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but theyā€™re not seen as ā€œunisexā€ yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
