In a game that seemed as though the San Francisco 49ers were going to run away with, it was Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs that ended up being the story of the night as his team walked away with a 31-20 victory. Andy Reid finally got the elusive title that he had been looking for ever since he was an assistant with the Packers back in the 90s. Mahomes capped one of the best seasons in NFL history and the torch was seemingly past from the established Tom Brady to the young Mahomes as the best Quarterback in the NFL.

According to the Nielson ratings that were released this year, it seems as if NFL fans were also happy with the quality of play that was displayed in Super Bowl LIV. When you factor in those who watched on the regular stream, on ESPN Deportes, and different online streams, this year’s Super Bowl amassed 102.7 million viewers, which was a 13% bump from the year before. In my own opinion, I would have to say that Americans are happy that there was another team winning other than the New England Patriots. Tom Brady and Bill Bellichick have run the NFL over the last two decades and it was almost like a breath of fresh air to see a new team win for once. Mahomes solidified himself to all of America as one of the league’s most exciting young players and may have exceeded Brady as the most dominant player in the NFL. 

As this year heads into 2021, this Super Bowl will most likely end up being the most watched event of 2020 and that includes the upcoming Presidential election that will be coming up later this year. Patrick Mahomes did his thing for Kansas City and proved to a large portion of America that he is the future of the NFL.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
