Hello all my loyal viewers, and welcome back to the Super Sreepal Blog,
As the NFL season just ended I must now make a decision on what to do with my blog. I have decided to switch from covering the NFL in my blogs to covering the rest of the NBA season. It is an exciting time in the NBA season as many teams are making a playoff push and many trades have been made.
See you in the next blog,

Hello everyone,
As we all know the Eagles won Super Bowl 52 41-33 knocking the defending champions, the New England Patriots off their pedestal and winning the first Super Bowl in Philadelphia history. Although the Patriots stayed close for most of the game, a crucial fumble by Tom Brady cost them a chance to drive down the field and tie the game up. The biggest question mark of the game was the benching of former All-pro corner Malcolm Butler who only played one special teams snap the whole game.
Bill Belicheck refuses to tell the media why he benched Butler but due to his benching, Butler will most likely look to leave to a team where he feels his presence is valued. We all remember Malcolm’s interception that one the Patriots a Super Bowl title and he is a very dynamic corner who I believe would be a starter on all but 3 NFL teams. Malcolm released a statement saying he never violated any team rules to lead to his benching, so it must have been a decision by Belicheck. Eric Rowe started over him at Corner and gave up 75 yards and a touchdown to Alshon Jeffrey. Rowe usually is limited to special teams play but I feel he played decent in coverage on Sunday. But the main loss was not with starting Rowe, it forced other corners to match up against receivers that were just flat out better than them. I feel if Butler played the result would be different, but as the weeks go on we will find out why Butler was really benched.
Thank you for reading this weeks blog, next weeks blog will detail what I am going to be covering due to the fact that the NFL season is over.
