A few weeks after my mom passed in November of 2013, I came back from an injury and entered the Egg Bowl in the second half against Ole Miss. I’ll never forget the feeling when I walked back out on the field. As I walked into the Egg Bowl, the crowd stood up and clapped like they were enveloping me in a giant hug.
I knew if I bowl to my strengths, I will make an impact.
We haven’t won a Super Bowl in, I think, 50 years, so the Jets fans who are out there are die-hard Jets fans. It’s like generational fandom.
I love a good bowl of cereal. The unhealthy kind. Lucky Charms. Sometime I’ll do Special K Chocolatey Delight, and I feel like I’m being healthy, but there’s chocolate in there.
I learned to bat and bowl on different pitches and knew when to go hard and when to back off. It was just something I learned.
I eat a bowl of cereal to cap off the night. That’s my dessert.
Marcus Trescothick. No question. I hate bowling to him. I pitch it up, he drives me through the covers. I bowl back of a length, he runs me down to third-man. I go short, and he lifts me over the keeper or pulls me for four.
It’s a hard time, winning the Super Bowl or losing the Super Bowl.
Of course I want to win a Super Bowl, but at the same time I’m very happy with what I’ve accomplished and the relationships I’ve made over the years.
The biggest thing, I think, is to stay healthy and make the fewest mistakes, and then you can win… The margin of error is so small in the NFL, so if you can do those two things – keep your team healthy and make the fewest mistakes each Sunday – you have a good chance of going to the Super Bowl.
I don’t bowl at 140 kmph or 150 kmph, so my best chance of getting the batsmen out is by bowling in the right areas and getting it to swing.
When you like the coach and the guys in the locker room, and you know you can still play at a high level, and you feel like you can help take a team to a Super Bowl, and you know you’re job’s not gonna be as hard as it may have been before – it’s just fun.
I used to eat the batter raw. My sister would make it and I’d lick the bowl and then I started to get it off the shelf and whip it up and eat it with a spoon.
I’m lucky to live in New York, a city that offers so many options for lunch. I can pick up dumplings from a Midtown food truck, grab empanadas by the dozen in Spanish Harlem or get a fantastic bowl of ramen in the East Village.
But this was my chance to go to the Super Bowl. Nothing was going to stop me.
One cheerleader per season per NFL squad is chosen to attend the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. All season long, the cheerleaders speculate about who will be chosen.
People who bowl vote. Bowlers are not the cultural elite.
Indianapolis proved to be the perfect Super Bowl city, accommodating in the truest sense of the word.
Everybody sort of questioned why we get married on New Year’s Day, and of course, the avid sports fans wouldn’t come, because they had to watch the Rose Bowl or whatever that is on that day.
I love to make soups. My father used to say, ‘There’s nothing like a nice bowl of soup.’ One of my favorites is… ready? Broccolini, white bean and hot Italian sausage soup. I’ve used escarole. Escarole in beans is unbelievable, or you can use bok choy, any kind. You can really fool around. That’s one of my good ones.
The further you go in life, the more you realize what you’re going to leave this Earth. It’s not going to be, ‘It was a great platform. It was great to win the Super Bowl,’ but really and truly what you’re going to leave on this Earth is the influence on others.
I went to the top of the Cotton Bowl by myself, sat down and cried.
I remember – when I was little, I remember playing ‘Tecmo Bowl,’ and I would be so excited to be Bo Jackson in the game that I wanted to watch him play in real life.
There are many reasons why I hate college football. The 4-hour games drone on longer than Steve Lyons during the American League playoffs. The ever-expanding season threatens to creep into early July. Boise, Idaho, hosts a bowl game. And it’s played on blue artificial turf.
My living room has an oak-wood floor, Persian carpets, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, a large ficus and large fern, a fireplace with a group of photographs and drawings over it, a glass-top coffee table with a bowl of dried pomegranates on it, and sofas and chairs covered in off-white linen.
If the team wants me to bowl first-change, I am happy to do that. If they want me to bowl with the new ball, I am happy to do that.
I go round and round in circles, really, really fast, on a big wooden bowl.
When I was a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, I lost in Super Bowl XI. It was a crushing defeat. Now I don’t even think about it. It doesn’t even come to mind. Had we won, maybe it would’ve been in my head longer.
I joke that every time I’m in the playoffs, it feels like I’m in the Super Bowl.
Somebody will say, ‘Oh, if you go 19-0 you win the Super Bowl.’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah it does, but let’s take it one game at a time. Let’s first get to the next game.’
It’s always good to show that what you’re doing is who you are, what you see on film in the regular season is what you’re seeing at the Senior Bowl.
When you are the Super Bowl for every team you play, you’re going to have a game or two where you don’t have the fast ball working, and you’re going to get some scares.
I want to be able to coach people, impact people, win football games and hopefully win a Super Bowl.
This occasional sports columnist, who has been to his share of Super Bowls, had been glad to be home on Super Bowl Sunday, but the scary commercials made me want to be in the melee of the arena, where you are not aware of commercials.
As a player, it says everything about you if you made the Hall of Fame. But, then again, boy… there’s something about winning a Super Bowl.
I already said it when I got drafted: I wanted to bring a Super Bowl to Baltimore.
The Flutie Bowl is a great event that brings together people who really care about the autism community. We always have a great time bowling and playing music.
One thing about bowl games for me is that big time programs might rank higher, but I love the regional match ups. The bragging rights are on the line.
In my world – advertising – the Super Bowl is judgment day. If politicians have Election Day and Hollywood has the Oscars, advertising has the Super Bowl.
I don’t know what it was, there was just this vision that God revealed to me that we were going to come back, we were going to be a part of a Super Bowl, we were going to win it. And somehow – somehow I was going to walk off the field as the MVP of the game.
Outside of basketball, I really love to bowl.
Everyone knows what the Masters is, even if you’re a non-golfer. People know what Wimbledon is. They know what the Super Bowl is. There are certain events that people just know about.
On our way to the Super Bowl XV Championship, the Oakland Raiders played a frigid 1981 AFC playoff game in Cleveland, in which the temperatures plunged to -35 degrees. I remember looking up in the stands to see a dedicated Cleveland Brown fan celebrating topless.
I am always trying to get better as a player, no matter how things are going, always trying to expand my game and look into how I can hit more areas or bowl different balls or whatever it is.
Spinners are increasingly starting to bowl short, which means they are taking the straight boundaries away. When you play Test match cricket, you can’t bowl short.
I’ve got no pension, and I’m not going to go out with a begging bowl.
Life happens, honey. What are you going to do? Cry in a bowl of milk?
When I won the Super Bowl I thought I was going to be, like, extremely happy. But then I really just felt like, ‘Well, this is it?’ I felt like I got bamboozled.
A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
I think everyone’s goal at the beginning of the year is to get to this time, to get an opportunity to play in the Super Bowl.
I’ll make a diet cheesecake, but I’ll put it in a Sara Lee box. Or I’ll have a huge bowl of pasta, but it’s actually just a cup of pasta – the rest is vegetables. It makes me feel less deprived.
It truly amazes me all the things you can add and mix in to truly transform a plain old bowl of oatmeal.
At the end of the day, it’s not about starting a game in the NFL, winning a Super Bowl, or getting to the Hall of Fame. It’s about representing yourself in a way that represents your faith.
I was pretty darn lucky to be selected by the Steelers. A round earlier or later in the draft and I might have been with a team that didn’t make it to the Super Bowl.
One of the biggest gaps in sports is the difference between the winning and losing teams of the Super Bowl. They don’t invite the losing team to the White House. They don’t have parades for them. They don’t throw confetti on them.
If you want to have a Super Bowl, put a retractable dome on your stadium, then you can get one.
I don’t bowl for personal numbers.
In some ways, chocolate chip cookie recipes are my favorite algorithms. You put a bunch of bad-for-you stuff in a bowl and get a delicious result.
As a young girl, I saw commitment in my grandmother, who helped Grandpa homestead our farm on the Kansas prairie. Somehow they outlasted the Dust Bowl, the Depression, and the tornadoes that terrorize the Great Plains.
