I have been an athlete for most of my life. The sports I didn't play such as football and baseball I still always had an appreciation for. I should add that I am from Pittsburgh. In Pittsburgh we have two things... ketchup and sports. Pitt has great teams that get the people of Pittsburgh energized and excited about their city but the Steelers are the true heart of Pittsburgh. Every man woman and child I know at home loves the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Valentine's Day is quickly approaching... I'll never forget the gift I got two years ago, I recieved an autographed, framed, enormous photo of Ben himself after throwing his first touchdown pass with the Steelers. When I was 10 all I wanted for Christmas was a Steelers Starter jacket. I loved that thing so much I actually slept in the first night. Anyway... where am I going with this Steelers stuff?
On Superbowl Sunday this year I was more concerned with the parties on my block in Long Beach than what was happening with the game since my beloved Steelers were not playing. The first half of the game was just ok, so was the place I was at. I moved on down the street at half time to a party where me and seven other girls seperated ourselves from the party to "watch the game." The game got so intense that all Cosmopolitan magazines and nail polish were tossed aside. Girls who have absolutely no interest in football could not take their eyes off the game. It was really a cool experience to watch them get their first taste of "Wow, did that really just happen?."

You must be loving the Pittsburg Penguins right now. 11 Games over the .500 mark is a good spot to be in this time of year. Nice bloggy.
Being a Steelers fan too i know exactly where your coming from! I went to the Steelers/Pats game this season with my big Ben jersey on and got harassed by everyone at the meadowlands hardcore. After the superbowl I was able to text all my friends from my home in Rhode Island and shove it in their face about their sorry pats! Yeah ok my team didnt make it to the superbowl but at least we didnt go undefeated and then choke at the superbowl haha
Go steelers!
Good blog. Whether it was intentional or not, you touched on a good topic we will be addressing in class: women in sports. Maybe a good topic for your final? We’ll save that for a later time.
As for the grammatical issues:
1. Your second sentence is written with “passive voice.” This is something we talked about the second class. Essentially, you want to write in active voice. The example I used in class was:
“The World Series was won by the Red Sox.” – passive
“The Red Sox won the World Series.” – active
If you have any questions about that, let me know.
2. Received is spelt incorrectly.
3. You use ellipses (…) twice. In the first instance, you could just use a period. In the second instance after “Anyway” you should just use a comma.
4. Separate is spelt incorrectly
5. It should be Super Bowl
6. Should be: “Every man, woman and child…”
7. "Wow, did that really just happen?." (You don’t need the period.)
