NFC Super Bowl Selection

Yesterday I posted who I wanted from the AFC to make it to the Super Bowl.  Today I’m going to share who I’d like to see, but not most likely to make it (it pains me to say the most likely NFC Super Bowl team will probably be the Packers).  The team I’d like to see come out of the NFC and play in the Super Bowl against the Bills (assuming I get my way) would be the Buccaneers. 

Why would I select the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

 

·      I’ve cheered for Tom Brady ever since he played at the University of Michigan.  Yes, I cheered for the Patriots when he played there.  I even have a New England Tom Brady jersey in my closet and let’s face it my Detroit Lions are never going to play in a Super Bowl.  So, the Patriots became my back up team with Brady over the years.

·      Let’s face it, Brady is THE one and only GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)

·      I’d like Tom to win a Super Bowl without Bill Belichick.

·      It seems like most Steelers’ fans dislike the Buccaneers coach (Bruce Arians) from his time in Pittsburgh.  Therefore, I have to wish good things for him.

·      Lastly, I just don’t want to see the Packers, Rams or Saints to win….  No reason why, just an emotional response. 

 

I don’t have a photo of Tom in Buccaneers gear, so you’re getting a photo of Brady that I took of him in New England Patriots clothing….

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.

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.

Brady

There are two kinds of NFL fans in the world.   A small number of Patriots’ fans (thus they love Tom Brady) and then there is everyone else.  My guess it is 10/90 (love/hate).  I’m not from the New England area, but I fall in the 10%.  As you know, I’m a Lions fan.  But outside of the Lions, I’ll cheer for Patriots…only because of Tom.  He’s a University of Michigan guy and because he is just great…. So, I’ll cheer him!! 

Btw, I took this photo of Brady last October while the Patriots were in Pittsburgh.

Tonight’s photo is from last Sunday, when the Patriots were in town.  When Tom Brady is in the stadium, all eyes are on him.  For example, I can’t remember ever seeing photographers huddling around the visitor’s tunnel waiting for past quarterbacks to come out.  But when Brady’s in town, there are 20 of them sitting there forever just to capture that moment.  Say what you want about Brady, but he is just The Man!!!   The best quarterback to ever play the game.

It Takes A Team

Tonight’s photo is from the last time the Patriots were in town to play the Steelers.  I’m looking forward to their rematch this year.  As you can tell, it is hard to tackle Le’Veon Bell….

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!

AFC Championship Weekend Continued....

In a few hours, the Patriots and the Steelers will hit the field to decide who is Super Bowl bound.  It should be a good game.  Enjoy the game and the rest of your weekend.

AFC Championship Weekend

Tomorrow is a big day for Pittsburgh Steelers fans.  Not me, but Steelers fans.  They’ll get stressed hoping their team can beat the Patriots in the Championship game.  I’ll post some pictures this weekend that I took during their (Patriots and Steelers) regular season game.

Have a great football weekend.

Amendola

Tonight’s post is of New England Patriots’ Danny Amendola (@kingamendola).  Danny is in his 8th season as a wide receiver.  Some of those years were in St. Louise and the rest in New England.  He’s a small, quick receiver, who fits the Patriots’ style of play, although he only has 23 receptions so far this season.  It was nice watching him play and capturing some photos of him while they were in Pittsburgh.

Which One Is The Coach?

Tonight’s post is from the Steelers vs. Patriots game at Heinz Field back in October.  I liked this photo of Tom Brady talking with his coach (New England’s Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels).  The real question is, which one is really the one with authority.  My guess is that Tom has more authority then Josh, which would really make him the player, coach and decision maker.  What do you think?
