Too Much Not To Talk About

Some issues in the sports world that must be addressed. Tonight's topic of the matter is Super Bowl 47.  The newly wedded, Joe Flacco and his Baltimore Ravens put on a clinic in the first half, which whom, oh by the way had a contract ending this year. He refused the re-contract offer the Ravens were offering before the New England game and he waited. Waited to prove himself, he said, until he won the Super Bowl as he did just that. Well there goes any doubt the Ravens GM had in his mind about Flacco being un-clutch in the post-season.
But WAIT, then half the lights inside the Superdome went out (mind you it was minutes just after halftime kick-return brought back the New Orleans native Jacoby Jones) Ironic the lights went out just after that, you could say the Ravens were really playing "lights out." Somebody should've called up J. Cole we need some "Lights Please." Back to the topic was the Super Bowl being "fixed" i mean it was 28-6 when the strange occurrence happened, and what better set-up when two brothers are facing each other to compete for a Super Bowl. Was it a way to put out Ravens fire offense? If you think about it, from an extended half-time plus the kick return, it kept the Ravens offense off the field for over 90 minutes, interesting!
Social Media just about "blew the power servers" with the amount of attention the dome light ordeal started. It was just 10 minutes that a 'Superdome lights' parody twitter account was created. Oreo came back with a tweet saying "you can still dunk in the dark." And only 4 minutes into the light fiasco that twitter accounts were bidding on key words such as "power outage" in order to gain attention. Its amazing to me as an avid twitter user how much social media plays a role into what goes on behind the scenes of businesses and their strategies to create consumer views. Instantaneous marketing. Not to mention the multi-millions spent on Super Bowl commercials, personally the Taco Bell: elderly rage commercial was by far the best.
I rest my case, but thank goodness Jim Harbaugh and the rookie quarterback Colin Kaepernick really "flipped the switch" in the second half to keep the ball-game interesting (not as if anyone lost interest, after that gorgeous halftime performance made special by Beyonce).

P.S. If you dont know what the definition of swagger is, look at these Michigan jersey's they wore tonight in a big win against a strong Ohio State squad. Michigans-basketball-uniforms

Who Is Post Script Sports?

I am a Senior Marketing major with an Advertising emphasis studying at the University of Northern Iowa. I am taking a Digital Advertising course to broaden my understanding in marketing more specifically within the entire social media field, as it is one of the main modern source of marketing/advertising. It is a great opportunity for me to explore and to see every aspect of each individual social media. Blogger is just another way for me to expand my horizons.
What Post Script Sports is an idea I created to describe my opinions, stories, factual data on the topics of Sports and Shoe wear. Whether its about the latest hockey blowout, march madness, Kobe's new shoe, a story relating to the topics or something i find entertaining. Anything and everything about Sports and Shoes that i hope everyone can relate to. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor so everything that I blog about may be true but just points out the light of a situation, or something in the media that I find as a joke that others may find serious. For example, Manti Te'o and his "girlfriend" situation, that though i think it is a very tough thing the Heisman runner-up went through, I wont be able to help myself and give a joke or two. I will end each blog with a Post Script that leaves the reader with something to consider until my next blog, it could be a motivational quote, a joke, if anyone has heard about the latest Jordan shoe release, or even a random off-topic question about what I'm thinking at that very moment to relate to my readers.

I hope you all enjoy!
