If you read my blog you know I'm a football fan. You also know that I am a fan of the New England Patriots. This past weekend, the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl for the 4th time in franchise history. It also meant that Tom Brady won his 4th Super Bowl and Bill Belichick won his 6th. Sunday evening was one heck of a roller coaster for Pats fans everywhere. This is clear thanks to the Advanced NFL Stats Win Probability chart below. Things looked dire, until the VERY end. According to experts, this was the largest shift in win probability in Super Bowl history. Wow.

So needless to say this one definitely means something. As a kid witnessing three relatively quick Super Bowl repeats ('01, '03, and '04) was cool but I willingly admit I didn't understand how rare or awesome it was at the time. After 10 years of some close calls, some not-so close calls, and one helmet catch, Sunday was awesome. I honestly don't know if I'll ever experience that again as a football fan, but you know what? That's okay. I have been fortunate enough to witness the greatest quarterback in the NFL, to date (This is definitely biased, haha!), play with one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, coach play together for 15 years. Wow.

Anyways, I'm off to knock out a few more pages of The Lord of the Rings on my Kindle. I recently finished reading two books that I can't recommend enough now:

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh

These two books gave me the opportunity to learn about interacting with people, remaining positive, and gain insight on how an awesome customer-first business operates. I like to think my personality is that of a positive person, but nonetheless, these two books gave me some great food for thought! It's worth mentioning that not only did this impact my daily life, it has helped me revise some of the ways I go about my job as a Community Manager. I owe these book recommendations all to the awesome Buffer Community. If you haven't checked out this awesome social media tool yet, you should! I recently learned I've been using Buffer since 2011 and couldn't be happier.

With that I believe I'll call it a night. The Super Bowl is on my DVR and just typing about it got me excited to watch it again so I think that's what I'll do! Thanks for reading, commenting, or lurking!
