Super Bowl LI



Super Bowl LI is looking to be one of the most historic Super Bowls yet.

With the anticipated game of the year coming up in a few hours, the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots are preparing for the game of their lives.

Atlanta Falcons' quarterback, Matt Ryan, has recently been named the NFL MVP for the first time in his career, making the stakes higher than ever. According to Bleacher Report, no player who has won the regular-season award has also taken the Super Bowl award in the same season since Kurt Warner of the St. Louis Rams did it 17 years ago. Ryan's opponent, Tom Brady, has is included in this statistic, losing twice in the Super Bowl despite winning the MVP himself.

This is also Ryan's first appearance in a Super Bowl, while this year will be Brady's sixth appearance.


Brady's past Super Bowls have been widely controversial, however.

From "spy gate" to "deflate gate", Brady and the Patriots have been labeled "cheaters" all their careers since the incidents, with the most recent one affecting Brady's 2016-2017 season directly. He was suspended for the first four games of this NFL season, yet the Patriots still found success.

Brady is currently tied for the most Super Bowl rings among quarterbacks with four — winning tonight will put him above all QB's with five.

The odds may be looking to be against the Falcons, however they have one monstrous weapon that the Patriots do not: Julio Jones. The wide receiver, known for making outrageous Besides having arguably the most talented receiver in the game, Ryan has also set an NFL single-season record by throwing TD passes to 13 different players, five of those players being tight ends.

One of the biggest stats that stands out for this Super Bowl may be the fact that the Atlanta Falcons are ranked first when it comes to offense in the NFL, whereas the Patriots are ranked first for defense. This type of match-up is sure to be one for the books.

So, who ya got?

Instagram's Newest Feature That You Can't Find Anywhere Else

Snapchat started the trend of story-telling, creating 24-hour snaps that you share to the world. Instagram now has this feature as well. Well, Instagram has changed the game again. This time, you can post multiple photos within a single feed post. As in, you swipe right and see multiple pictures all under one post. Sure, Twitter and Facebook have similar features where you can post multiple pictures at once, but not quite like this. Instagram, unlike Facebook, Twitter, and so on, is a photo-based social media platform. Before, only advertisers could do such a thing on Instagram, leaving the rest of us to pick only the best picture (or two at the most) to represent our big event, birthday or holiday to keep from spamming (and annoying) our follower’s feeds. To use the feature, you need to tap the ‘Select Multiple’ option first on the bottom of the photo or video you want to upload. From there, you can select the content you want to include; they’ll be numbered in the order th

The Aftermath Of A Historic Super Bowl

Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images It's not about how Super Bowls start. It's about how they finish. Super Bowl LI started off with what could arguably be the most boring few hours of football in Super Bowl history. The Atlanta Falcons seemed to have the game in the bag. Quarterback Matt Ryan seemed to be doing everything right, whereas his opponent Tom Brady could not prevent getting sacked or missing wide-open receivers down the field. The lifeless Patriots were down 28-3 going into halftime. Lady Gaga was the only thing that seemed to give the game life. And then the Patriots happened. Granted, the first touchdown of the night coming from Tom Brady only came at the end of the third quarter and even then, the game didn't feel competitive in the slightest bit. But once that first score came, it was like taking candy from a baby for the Patriots. They went on a tear, defensively stopping the Falcons and then offensively, with Brady leading the way. Huge play after hug

Snapchat Stories vs. Instagram Stories: Which One Works For Your Content

Mark Dalton Media Nowadays everyone is using either Snapchat, Instagram, or both. Two different social media platforms, yet very similar in some ways. "Stories" have been brought to life since Snapchat's existence and has very recently made an appearance Instagram. Which one is better for you and your content? The Difference Snapchat lets you share your content through a single track called a story, which is made up of 24 hours’ worth of image or video snaps that you’ve shared for others to see. Once a snap is 24 hours old, users can no longer view it unless you reshare it as it automatically deletes itself. Instagram, on the other hand, lets you share content through two tracks: the stories and the feed. Your feed is permanent and stays on your page collected with other pictures, whereas your stories only have a 24-hour life. By combining the permanency of your feed posts with the 24-hour duration of your stories, you can generate urgency while providing cons
