AFC Super Bowl Selection

This isn’t my prediction about who will most likely play in the Super Bowl (that would probably be the Chiefs) from the AFC, but the team I’d like to see make it to the big game.

My selection is the Buffalo Bills.  Why?  Because:

·      They have a nice group of young talented players and I like the modest attitudes

·      I liked their old-style stadium which sits surrounded by residential houses

·      They’ve played in four Super Bowls, but have never won the game….

Rubber Bowl Stairs

I think this site was demolished shortly after my visit.  It was a great explore and I’m glad I got to see it before it disappeared.  This was the former home football field for the University of Akron.

Super Bowl LIII

Today’s the day!!!  Rams vs. Pats.  I suggest we all sit back, enjoy the game and don’t take it to serious.  After all, it is just a game.  So if the Rams win, good for them and their fans.  And let’s all have the same approach if the Pats win.  I want it to be competitive and fun to watch.  Have a great Super Bowl Sunday.

Today’s photos is one I took when the Patriots were in town playing the Steelers.  I enjoyed capturing Brady and the Pats.

#12

Just one more day until the Super Bowl where #12 is going for #6 (his 6th Super Bowl win).  We’ll see how this ends up, but I’m feeling good about it.

Bobby Whiskers

Bobby Whiskers is a nickname some of Gronk’s teammates call him or so the Internet claims.  I Googled this and don’t want to get into in here. You can look it up yourself if you want..  Changing subjects…. Do you think Gronk has a chance to be the Super Bowl MVP this weekend?  I think its very possible.

GOAT

Here is another photo in my Patriots Super Bowl week series.  Regardless of your perspective, no reasonable person can argue against Tom as the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)….

Gronk

I can’t call him a secret weapon, because everyone know how great he is…..but he is probably the key to whether or not the Patriots win the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl Week

There will be a ton of hype this week, most of which I’ll ignore.  I’ll just watch the game and enjoy it regardless of who wins.  But I am leaning towards one team over the other.  So, I’m curious who you’ll be cheering for during the big game.  Unless you’re from the Boston area, I’m guessing you’ll be pulling for the Rams.  The Patriots have become the team everyone loves to hate.  I get it, they’ve won a ton and it is easy to hate a consistent winner.  That said, I’ll be cheering for the Patriots for a few reasons:

·  Tom Brady is from the University of Michigan and I’m root for anyone from UofM or Michigan State.

·  Tom is just a good guy (family man, honest, etc..), regardless of how people want to paint him otherwise…. Sour grapes if you ask me.

· I want to see another team with 6 Super Bowl wins along with the Steelers.  Frankly, I’d like to see someone tie and pass the Steelers in this category.

If the Rams win, I won’t be upset.  But I’d prefer to see the Patriots tie the Steelers with Super Bowl wins.  I’ll be posting Patriots photos all week to high light my pick.

Once Proud Stadium

Tonight’s post is another photo from the University of Akron’s Rubber Bowl.  I heard recently that they are destroying this abandoned building because they’re concerned it isn’t safe.  I understand why they’d take it down, but it’s also a little sad at the same time.

Stadium

Blair and I met up with Mike today in Akron to do a little urban exploration.  Honestly, we didn’t have much luck.  But we got a chance to visit the former University of Akron Rubber Bowl stadium, which opened in 1940 and closed in 2008.  It was named the Rubber Bowl due to the huge rubber tire industry (Goodyear and Firestone) that used to exist in Akron.  The stadium is now scheduled for demolition in the near future.

Abandoned China

Here is another photo from the Shenango China factory in Pennsylvania.  I’ve had a couple visits to this site and it has some great spots to explore.  The molds and china (in various stages of completion) left behind make it interesting.

My Pick To Win The Super Bowl

Since my Detroit Lions will never win a Super Bowl, I have to celebrate through other teams and with their fans.  This year, I’d like to see the New England Patriots win the big game for a few reasons:

1.     Tom Brady is from the University of Michigan

2.     I want to see Tom go down in history as “the” best quarterback…which I think he is already

3.     He’s not a cheater…. Just saying

And that’s it.  I have nothing against the Falcon’s and if they win, I’ll be happy for their fans.  But I’m going with Tom.   Before are a few photos from the Steelers vs. Patriots game last fall that I photographed for the Observer-Reporter newspaper.  What a fun little gig that it.

Have a great Super Bowl weekend, regardless of whom you’re cheering for!
