Super Bowl 2011 - Are You Ready?

The first ever Super Bowl was played on January 15, 1967 at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This game was created as a part of a merger agreement between the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL). Football fans were not really as enthusiastic about this big game as they are now, as they did not really realize the potential of such an event.

Initially, the main purpose for the Super Bowl was to determine the champion among the AFL and the NFL but now it represents so much more. This amazing game represents America's determination to overcome and succeed against all odds.

Super Bowl I was played in 1967. The Green Bay Packers won the first ever game by defeating the AFL Kansas City Chiefs. The winning team was lead by quarterback Bart Starr who was also named the Most Valuable Player (MVP).

Next year, Arlington Texas will host the Super Bowl XLV. It will be held on the 6th of February 2011 and as usual, the champions of NFL will go up against the champions of AFL at the Cowboy's Stadium. It will be the 45th edition of the championship game. This is going to be the first time that a Super Bowl will be held in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The Black eyed peas will perform at the half time show of the Super Bowl XLV next year. This year, the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl but this does not necessarily mean that they will win next year too. There are very few teams, talented enough to win the Super Bowl consecutively. Let us look at some of the teams who have the potential to win next year. Let's start with the AFC teams.

Last year, the New York Jets had one of the best defenses in the NFL. They trained hard and once they were in the playoffs, they showed everyone that they had what it took to win. The New York Jets have done the impossible; they have improved their defense. The New York Jets will be a tough team to beat.

Another impressive team is the San Diego chargers. They have one of the most talented teams; however, their coach Norv Turner leaves a lot to be desired. The question remains, are the San Diego Chargers talented enough to win even without good coaching?

Another good team is the Indianapolis Colts. To be honest, they are not the most talented team but they have Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. With Manning, the Colts have a very good chance of winning.

The NFC has very few teams that have the potential to win. Other than this year's winning team, the New Orleans Saints, the only good team is the Minnesota Vikings.

There are other teams who, without doubt, could come out in the Super Bowl race next year but these teams are the favorites so far.

Philadelphia Eagles Sports Football Camp

Philadelphia Eagles football camp takes place at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. At the start of training season, rookies and also free agents will report to the college dorms of the university to prepare for intense, 2-a day, all day workouts. Soon after that, the veterans will report to camp and the full workouts and training will begin.

Another intriguing part of training camp for fans is that they can watch the practice sessions without paying an arm and a leg for tickets. The media is there to watch as well to give football fans at home full reports as to how the players look, who is going to be starting that year, and who may be hurt. This will also be beneficial to those who play Fantasy Football. The Eagles have been training at Lehigh for 13 years. The university has four football practice fields for the team to train on, allowing coaches to work on different things at the same time.

The Eagles started to train at Widener University in 1973. The site was featured in the movie "Invincible" about the former Eagles player Vince Papale. This proved to be very exciting for both Eagles fans and Philadelphia natives. Philadelphia Eagles sports football camp stayed at Widener until 1980 when they moved their training camp to West Chester University. The team stayed there until 1995 when they made the move to Lehigh.

Philadelphia Eagles sports football camp is a great time for the players to make decisions about the upcoming season. Veteran players who may have thought they would start or be a key player that year could easily work their way down to second string. This could happen especially if a new rookie comes on to the scene and steals their thunder. The coaches watch intently as they make their rosters and imperative decisions for the upcoming season.

Players can easily get hurt in this intense strict workout they receive at Philadelphia Eagles sports football camp. This in turn could also give a second string player or rookie a chance to move into the starting lineup, or even start a few more games than they expected. The coaches have a perfect opportunity to weed out the weaker players and put together plays for the upcoming season. They also have the chance to get to know the players better on a personal level, especially the new players and rookies.

Training camp proves to be a very important tool for everyone involved. The players, coaches and even the media get to have their predictions for the new football season. Each year proves to be more exciting then the next and seeing the players get ready for the upcoming year brings about the football fan in everyone.

Who Will Be Top NFL Rookie in 2011?

"Highly Athletic" QB's have a tendency to not win Super Bowls. Michael Vick of the Philadelphia Eagles is great to watch, but un-athletic, Trent Dilfer-types win the Super Bowl. Vince Young was highly athletic, but he couldn't win with a pretty decent team in the Tennessee Titans. DeMarcus Russell was athletic, but had no work ethic. Tim Tebow is athletic, has a great work ethic, but plodding Payton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts and Tom Brady of the New England Patriots are the guys that win Super Bowls. So, not only will Cam Newton not be a Super Bowl QB, he will have a passing rating of less than 60 this year, and he will not be able to read NFL defenses for a long time, because "athletic" QB's are put in a spread offense in college and have major difficulty making the translation to the NFL. (Hear that Tim Tebow?)

It's tough for a defensive rookie to be Rookie of the Year. To stand out on defensive, you need to either get lots of interceptions or lots of sacks. Will Von Miller or Marcell Dareus get lots of sacks with the Denver Broncos and the Buffalo Bills respectively? I doubt it. The rest of the defense isn't good enough. But then, someone like Patrick Peterson of the Arizona Cardinals can pick off a few passes here and there with a team that is not horrible on defense.

Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder, all QB's won't be playing this year, so they are not even in the running. Offensive tackles like Tyron Smith and Nate Solder are never selected.

Nick Fairley of the Detroit Lions has a pretty good chance of being the top rookie because he will be playing with Ndamukong Suh. Opposing teams will be focusing on Suh, which will give Fairley an opportunity for big numbers in sacks, takeaways and tackles. And remember, at one time, Nick Fairley was on the list for being selected number 1 in the draft. So, it will not surprise me if he is the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Wide receivers can put up numbers as rookies that get them a lot of attention, but they need two things: a good quarterback and a good WR as a teammate. If you don't have a quarterback who knows what he is doing, and you don't have another wide receiver to attract the attention of the defense, you're in deep trouble. A.J. Green can be a great receiver. Too bad he wasn't available for the Browns. But, who on the Cincinnati Bengals is throwing to him? Bruce Gradkowski? I guess so. Definitely not second round QB Andy Dalton, who was regarded the 6th quarterback in a weak QB year.

Which leaves us with WR Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons. Who is his QB? Matt Ryan. Doesn't get much better than that. Who else is catching the ball in Atlanta: Tony Gonzalez, future hall of famer. Looks like a great opportunity for a rookie to put up the numbers needed to win the crown.

But wait, there's more! A sleeper! Yes, its Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram, selected 28th in the draft by the New Orleans Saints. The team is great, the quarterback is great, the offense is great, and he was the first running back taken in the draft. This has all of the sounds of a 1,500 yard year for Mr. Ingram, in which case, he will be a shoo-in for NFL Rookie of the Year.
