C.C. 2: NFL Injuries (2nd Sem.)
In Matthew Jussim's aticle "Baltimore Ravens Injury Update: Terrell Suggs Plans To Play Through Torn Biceps, Ray Lewis May Return From Torn Triceps Soon" it tells about the injuries of a few members of the Baltimore Ravens. I am going to explain two things. 1) Why the return of Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs' is so remarkable and 2) what impact it had on the team.
Ray Lewis in the game against the Dallas Cowboys tore his triceps. This was feared to be a season-ening injury. Terrell Suggs partially tore his Achilles tendon during the offseason. This, also, was feared to be a season-ending injury. However, both went through special treatment and would not take no for an answer and came back in time to make it to the Super Bowl.
What makes Lewis' return even more spectacular is that this is his last season and he is basicly the leader of the Ravens team. His return gave them the motivation they needed to make it. Ray has won defensive player of the year twice. Also, if the Ravens win, it will be his second championship ring, and he will be considered one of the BEST defensive players of all time.
Ray Lewis is an insperation to his team and also to others. Ever since his retirement has been anounced he has been followed around documenting his every move and motivational and emotion packed speeches. His insperational return proves that people can come back from serious injuries and still be good.
All I got to say is that I can't wait to see how he plays at the Super Bowl. GO RAVENS!!!!
C.C. 1: 2011-2012 AFC Championship (2nd sem.)
This is about what the results of the AFC championship game on CBS on Jan 21st, 2013 mean. It was the New England Patriots vs the Baltimore Ravens. If you are a football fan then you know what time it is. That's right. Super Bowl time. This is huge to the football comunity. My purpose for writing this post is to explain two things. 1) What teams made it to this momentus occasion and 2) Why these two teams making it is more spectacular than any other match up.
The two teams that have made it to the biggest event in the football nation, the 47th Super Bowl, are the San Fransisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens, the team I am cheering for. The 49ers are 11-4-1. That means they have eleven wins, four loses, and 1 tie. The Ravens, the team that is going to win, are 10-6-0. That means the Ravens have ten wins, six loses, and no ties. Oh, and by the way, the coaches of these two fine teams are brothers.
That's right, the coaches are brothers. Jim Harbough is the coach of the 49ers, and the coach of the Ravens is John Harbough. Now if you have cought on to the way you pronounce their last name you realise why this Super Bowl is being called the "HarBowl" or the "SuperBough." While the coaches insist that the focus should remain on the players and not on the fact that the opposing coaches are brothers, people are still, and will continue to make a big deal about said relations.
As I said earlier, this is a huge occasion to the football community, but it is also a big time for the retail industry. You can see it in any Wal-Mart you go into. They are preparing for the rush of eager fans buying what will be the works of a great Super Bowl party. Also, this will most definatly increase sales in NFL merchandise over the next few weeks, maybe even months.
For now all there is to do is to plan a get together of friends and family and wait for the big game. Both teams have fought their way to this moment and both will give everything they got to win the honor of being the Super Bowl XLVII (47) champions. It will no doubt be an amazing game. So, I leave you with this, GO RAVENS!!!
