The Super Bowl

By Peter Gonzalez

What a great game! The drama, the suspense, it was all worth it. The Pittsburg Steelers came into the game with the intention that they were going to win their 8th Super Bowl . But the Packers had other plans. Aaron Rogers was a rookie to the playoffs but that didn’t stop him from going into the game with great confidence. Although he had a lot of confidence, he still had to ask an old friend, Brett Favre, how to roll with the punches.On the other hand Ben Roethlisberger was going into the game with his 3rd Super Bowl appearance. He is only the third quarterback to do that in history.

Now lets get to the game. In the first quarter the Packers came out with two touchdowns and immediately put the pressure on Pittsburg. But in the second quarter Pittsburg scores an early field goal. But that put the Packers down because they came back two drives later and scored a touchdown. Down 21-3 the Steelers come back and scored a touchdown at the end of the half. So that makes it 21-10 after two quarters of exciting football. After the players took the field the only points scored was a touchdown by the Steelers. In the final quarter the Packers wanted to shut the game down. So they came out and scored a touchdown in the first 3 minutes. But the Steelers wanted that trophy and wouldn’t give up. They came right back and scored a touchdown. But in the end it was the Packers who prevailed. With a late field goal and a 6 point lead. The Packers won the Super Bowl and took the trophy home. With a grand total of 12 national championship wins and 3 Super Bowl wins.

Chicago Bulls

By Nick M. & Diego B.

The Bulls have been doing very well this season. Derrick Rose is a starter on the All-Star team. The Bulls beat the Lakers. They also beat the Celtics. Not too long ago they beat the Indiana Pacers. They traded Kirk Hinrick for Carlos Boozer. Kirk Hinrick was the leader in three pointers. Joakim Noah injured his hand and hasn’t been in the game since. Carlos Boozer is big, strong and tall. The Bulls have great coaches they make amazing game plans. So far… the Bulls have been doing well. Joakim Noah is back to the Chicago bulls so GO BULLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DA BEARS

By Peter G.

The Chicago Bears are back on the top. With 11 wins and only 5 loses. They won the NFC North division. The Bears are rolling into the playoffs with some heat. Jay Cutler, the Bears quarterback has thrown 25 touchdowns already this year and 3,274 passing yards. Matt Forte, Bears leading running back, already rushed 1,069 yards and he is aiming for 1,300 yards before the end of the year. Also this year, Devin Hester’s 4 punt and kickoff returns for touchdowns broke the record.

The Bears are in the NFC Championship Game. One more win and they are in the Super Bowl. There is only one team that stands in the way and that team is the Green Bay Packers. The Packers just came off a huge win against the number 1 seated Atlanta Falcons. This rivalry never had a game as important as this one. It is a do or die situation for both teams. One will move onto the Super Bowl and one will fall.

UPDATE!!!! It was the Bears who failed to get to the Super Bowl.
