Marshawn Lynch (as you saw in the last page) is my favorite football player. He plays for the Seattle Seahawks, he’s number 24 and is a running back. His numbers in rushing yards are amazing, he has over 9,000 yards just by running and 74 touchdowns. He has 9 receiving touchdowns with 1,900 yards. He is known as “Beast Mode,” for breaking many tackles and running through whoever’s in front of him. He got sponsored by the candy called skittles, he would eat them before his games, on the side lines, and even after the game. He loved them, and obviously they were his favorite candy Skittles realized this and decided to sponsor him. He retired May 21, 2016, at the age of 30.

There are a few huge examinations in the middle of Washington and Marshall as far as demonstrable skill. Peculiar as it may appear to us, Washington as a youthful Virginia officer honestly considered himself an expert warrior and said as much. He was horribly disappointed by not accepting standard status, and therefore and due to different challenges he honestly found leaving the Virginia administration amidst the most exhausting piece of the French and Indian War in his province. Had he achieved a legal commission, how might the course of history have changed? Not just would the Continental Army have had an alternate president, however Washington would likely have dropped out of descendants' sight had he made for himself a perpetual profession in the ruler's administration.
Barry Sanders was born in Wichita, Kansas, on July 16, 1968. Barry’s favorite sport was basketball when he was just a kid, but his dad steered him toward football. Barry attended Wichita North High School. Sanders was a second string running back up until the last five games of his senior season. His coaches didn’t play him much because of his fear of getting hit. The last five games Sanders started doing amazing things. Sanders rushed for more than 1,000 yards in his last five games. The total was 1,417 yards for the year. That was a citywide record. (Net Industries, 2017)

This college football season was absolutely magnificent. The playoff race came down to the final week, and there were stars everywhere. The resurgence of the running back was a pleasure to watch, and now, two of the most prolific running backs we've seen in a while might get to take home some serious hardware; the Heisman Trophy, given to the most outstanding player in the country every year. There were some very deserving candidates who weren't invited to New York City, (Sorry Baker Mayfield and Keenan Reynolds) but this years crop of candidates is still very talented and worthy of the title Heisman Trophy Winner.
The movie “We Are Marshall” is a movie about football. The movie isn’t just a normal football movie. It’s a movie that shows how a town and a college rebuilds after the tragedy that they went through. The town of Huntington, West Virginia and Marshall University went through the tragedy of a plane crash that killed seventy-five people, including football players, coaches, fans, boosters, mothers, fathers, doctors, lawyers and even governors. From this experience people had a choice to rebuild or continue to mourn their loved ones. Nate Ruffin, Donald Dedmon and Coach Jack Lengyel chose to rebuild through ways of leadership, optimism and morals.
In the movie “Marshall” we take a look at one of Thurgood Marshall early cases. In “Marshall”, Thurgood starts off at a train station getting ready to board and some bad cats walk up to him and started screaming obscene things at Thurgood. We see Thurgood going into the NAACP office and someone is waiting for him to tell him he will be taking a rape case in New York. Thurgood tells his wife that he will have to leave again for another court case. So he goes to New York and enlists the help of local lawyer Samuel Friedman. Marshall needed a co-counselor based in Connecticut to help him argue the case, someone more familiar with the laws and politics particular to the state. Sam’s response wasn’t to welcoming. He felt like this was a case that could possible ruin his career. He wanted nothing to do with it. After a few movie minutes we go to see the man accused of rape. It’s an African American male named Joseph Spell. Spell is accused of raping his former boss Eleanor Strubing. Mrs.Strubing had come home from dinner with friends. She was fresh from the shower and wearing only a robe when Spell knocked on her bedroom door and asked if he could borrow some money. She claims Spell raped her made her get dressed took her downstairs, bound her hands and feet, and raped her again. After forcing her to write a ransom note, he put her in the car, cut off the bottom of her dress and gagged her with the remnant, and drove until a policeman stopped the car. The officer did not
To what extent was William Marshall’s life as a knight different from other knights of the time? Invariably it was not that much different than those of his peers until his later life. The one thing that set him apart from other knights was his fierce dedication to loyalty.
