IT’s fourth and goal it is Super Bowl 49 they were on our own goal line the knees of the offensive line,and offensive line were shaking,as I feel the sweat running down my hands warming up .The ball is snapped I see their best receiver anquan boldin sprint to the middle of the end zone I sprint to him leaving an man wide open. Russell Wilson reaches back and fires I reach out and snatch it almost dropping it I fall to the ground rolling in excitement my team picking me up.As you can see I am talking about a sport hear and this particular sport is football the sport that fills the night air with emotions on Sunday,Monday,and Thursday dreams our bound to happen.People today that want to be in the spot they were in is out there everyday ,staying after practice knowing that it is almost impossible to make it,knowing that it is a brutal game deciding their career,and not being liked by everyone. The first point being,is that out of every one hundred kids,and or adults only three of them only three make it to the NFL.First,There are many that fit into this category of being one of the best football players but not the best student athlete getting in trouble for smoking weed or something like that the NFL will take someone with less talent and better as an athlete.Another scenario is when you are going for one position,and your coaches told you that you need to know how to play more than one position,and all the teams have fulfilled that position already with someone better with experience,or a better rookie.A final scenario is when you in college and high school you ran similar offenses and then when you get ready to gopro and you can’t learn the plays right,or the formations to line up,and the quarterback is the leader on the field.This is just one factor to the life of a NFL player to a guy who just played college this makes any difference. Another point being,is once making it to the NFL does not mean that you're not going to be hurt,this is not the NBA playing hard on offensive,but play no defensive this is a brutal game trying to push your team to the next step in the franchise,and they will do anything.There are several examples,of this many people know Bo Jackson he was a great running back,and had a
What is supposed to be one of the most prestigious honors in all of sports has become a joke in the NFL. Calling the Pro Bowl the NFL’s All-Star game is an insult to All-Star games. It is a sham.
What do you know about the NFL? This one of the best male sports. A boy named Christian was a senior at Riverview Gardens High School; he played football, and he looked up to Calvin Ridley as a role model. His dream had always been to make it to the NFL, so he worked hard everyday day in and day out to strive for his goal. He was just a young man with a dream to get far with his talent for others to see, not just his brothers and teammates. He lived by a famous quote that says, “It’s not the SIZE of the dog in the fight but the SIZE of fight in the dog.” Hall Of Famer Archie Griffin of the Cincinnati Bengals said this because football is a man’s sport. There were lots of legends created in the history of the game.
Now the Patriots had the opportunity to right the wrongs of the past and win the Super Bowl. Once again my living room was filled with friends and family desperate for a Patriots Super Bowl. Tom Brady had led the Patriots down the field for a touchdown that had put the Patriots ahead. The game was now to be decided by the Seahawks offense against the Patriots defense. Wilson took the snap and threw the ball to his running back Marshawn Lynch. Lynch scampered all the way to midfield. Time was beginning to run out. I felt the confidence in the room was destroyed. I looked at the faces of my friends and family, and they all looked the same. They all shared the same look of despair that we had all felt so many times before. Just a couple plays later Wilson threw a pass deep down the field and somehow, in the same fashion Tyree had seven years prior, made an unbelievable catch. There it was again. The Tyree catch had been replicated once again. Once again our hearts had been ripped out. The Patriots now stood on the edge of another crushing loss. The Seahawks stood on the Patriots goal line. Just inches from total victory. The Patriots were again on the edge of the abyss. As the clock wound down I could feel the energy in the room shoot up. The final play that would determine if the football gods would kill us again, or if we would finally taste the victory we all longed for. Wilson took the snap and everyone was on
As we compare high school football vs. the NFL and the intensity of the two there will always be deciding factors in it. Reason for the two being different is high always has a legacy for history in your high school career. While the NFL does play with a level of intensity and desire. The going rate of high school football players making the pros is .02%. While I’m not saying that football players in high school can’t make the pros, but what I’m getting at is your time is too shine in high school have the glory in that. Therefore if you do make the pros then let all deciding factors out when you play in the
Cowhisperer 3On the flip side, an important point to understand about the game of football is that it, like allprofessional crafts, do not just begin their first day on the job. Like most every other job, people spend agood portion of their lives working to achieve their goals, working to be the best, but that takes time!For many players, football begins as young as seven or eight years old, and continues every fall until theygraduate from high school. After that period, the pool of players narrows significantly to only those whoare talented enough to play for a university. Finally, once a player leaves college to enter into the NFLdraft to potentially begin his pay-for-play career, only then has he reached his goal. Following the mostcommon format (given above), it would
Do you watch the NFL because if you do you could see the player kneel during the National Anthem. You might say “Is that even legal” well it is and you're allowed to do it even though you shouldn’t. That’s legal to except the president doesn’t like it. I'm going to tell you about America’s freedoms and tell you about America’s gift to my generation. If you think it's illegal it's not but most people think kneeling is a terrible. Having this freedom isn't terrible at all and I will tell you why it's not.

If we’ve learned anything from last night’s game against the Warriors, it’s that the Nets can hang with the best of them. Despite the visitors ultimately running away with the game, the first half remains a huge reason for future optimism. Still, the Nets don’t have time for rest. Tonight is the second night of their back-to-back, and they’re traveling to Cleveland to take on the current NBA champions, the Cavaliers.
People think field hockey is just another girly sport and that guys don’t play it at all because it’s a girls sport only. People also like to say that it doesn’t take a tough group of girls or guys to play this sport. But let me inform you that the history of field hockey is actually a little bizarre because it didn’t start the stereotypical way where the girls played it; it started as the polar opposite. Field Hockey goes all the way back to Egypt 4,000 years ago and has developed over time. But the modern game of hockey started around the mid 18th-century in England.

Sadly, this is not the case; “about five thousand NCAA scholarship football players leave college annually. About three hundred land jobs in the NFL…” (book). This means only 6% of the players in college football will make it the NFL, and those who make it rarely last long. On average, an “NFL ‘career’ is 3.7 years” (book). So the guys who make it to the NFL rarely stick around long enough for a “major” contract and will never reap the rewards of their hard

"The Rock says he’s all psyched about the XFL. Oh wait a minute, The Rock isn’t psyched, he’s pumped about the XFL. No no no no no, The Rock isn’t pumped, The Rock is geeked about the XFL. That’s right, The Rock is geeked. Oh wait a minute, The Rock was geeked last week, so The Rock can’t be geeked now. The Rock is more than that, The Rock says he’s cranked about the XFL. As a matter of fact, The Rock is just like everybody else in America: We’re all psyched, geeked, pumped, and cranked..."(Greene, para. 9) This inspirational speech given by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson prior to the first broadcast was just a taste of what was to come with this new concoction of Wrestle Mania meets the Super Bowl. The XFL was a dream that promoters and hand me-down players from the NFL found a shared faith in 2001. A merging of the schlocky promotions of Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation and the passion and violence of football, the league died after one season, its demise hastened more by a failure of an ill-advised and ultimately doomed business arrangement than a repudiation of the product on the field. (Crossman, 2014, para. 1) The XFL
In just about every football game from any age group there is always some sort of peptalk. This is usually given by the coach to fire up the players and get them ready for the game ahead of them. The pep talk I got that night will be in my mind for the rest of my life. My Coach always gave us life lessons that were key not only on the field but off of it as well. He would say things such as “there is no I in team” and “anything is accomplishable if you work hard enough.” He was always inspiring me with his speeches, but one stuck out the most. This speech was at one of our Thursday night meetings; we would meet every Thursday to eat supper together as a team, hang out with freinds, and most importantly get ready for the game on Friday. We would always sit in chairs and listen to him; Usually ranting on about teamwork and stuff like that but he changed it up. The life lesson he was teaching us was play like it was your last game.
