“At its most basic, fantasy football is a game in which football fans use their knowledge of the sport to compete against each other in formats that relate to the actual performance of professional football teams. The goal of the fantasy player is to select which athletes or teams will have the most impressive performances during a given week.” (Hunt, 1998)…
In the United States, about half of Americans would agree that football is their favorite sport. The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American Football League that includes 32 teams, which are divided into two, the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is the most popular sports league in the Unites States, have the highest TV ratings to date, and revenues reaching the billions. All this would not be possible if they did not employ some of the most talented athlete from across the country.

When you think of the Cincinnati Bengals you probably think of all the arrests, busts, and bad managing that have taken place in the 90's. I'm telling you the Bengals are on the rise and have changed the ways of their troubled past back to the winning ways of the 80’s. The 1990's and early 2000's were compiled with poor drafts and miss judgment of character in the players they chose, but the past few years the Bengals have proven draft after draft they are stepping up their drafting game. The Bengals faced heavy criticism for filling the locker room with troubled young players. The Bengals were the centerpiece for jokes about players getting arrested and in trouble. For example Chris Henry the wide receiver that they drafted in the 3rd round, knowing that he had a troubled past that even led up to his college days at West Virginia. They unfortunately carried over to the NFL and he got into many bad situations with drug abuse and other situations. Henry did begin to finally turn his life around but sadly his life was cut short in an accident when he fell out of the bed of a moving truck. Henry was only 26. Since then the Bengals have really done a good job in the draft getting good players that have a clean background. Although the Bengals still have taken chances on players that are questionable Marvin Lewis has taken them under his wing and has mentored them and had really helped them turn their lives around, in example Adam Jones and Vontez Burfict. In doing so they spend very low round draft picks on them. Burfict is a perfect example of this. The Start of this kid’s senior season he was a lock for the first round. Burfict did not take the game seriously though. In essence he selfdestructed. Getting into trouble with the law, and in games he got called for many unnecessary roughness calls and cost his team plays and yards. By the time the draft rolled around his draft stock had…
Every year the NFL holds an annual draft in which eligible athletes are selected by teams in a prearranged order based on the performance of the team in the prior year. The team with the worst record the prior year selects first and the team with the best record the prior year selects last. The draft itself has numerous rounds in which the teams select players to be added to their roster.…
John Madden once said, “Discipline is knowing what you're supposed to do and doing it as best you can... On third down and short yardage, the Raiders don't jump offside. That's discipline - not a coat and tie, not a clean shave.” John Madden was a football player in the NFL. He was drafted in 1958, by the Philadelphia Eagles, but an injury in his first season ended his career. Later he became the Oakland Raiders Linebackers Coach. After two seasons, he was selected to be the head coach of the Oakland Raiders in 1969. Madden began broadcasting after retiring from coaching in 1979. He broadcast for Fox and won 16 Emmy Awards. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2006. In 1988, John Madden released his first video game called “Madden NFL”. John Madden has been…
1 out of every 3 children in the United States is considered obese. That is about 25 million children in this great country of ours that are overweight. I think there are two main reasons why these 25 million children are overweight. Number one is that children aren’t eating the right foods, that is the main reason why there are a lot of obese children in the world today. The second reason is because these children aren’t getting enough exercise throughout the day which makes it even easier to become obese.…

I chose this topic because I really like football. I also really enjoy fantasy football. I wanted to know how to always win in fantasy football. I wanted to know the best way to draft. I think the best way to draft was to draft wide receivers. That is a pretty good strategy for drafting, but I found one that could be better. I already know that drafting wide receivers helps because when I’ve drafted good wide receivers I've made the playoffs twice with one championship in three seasons. The one season I didn't make the playoffs I won the consolation playoffs. One thing I wanted to learn was I wanted to know more about team’s offensive lines. The only offensive line I know is really good…
