Since its inception seven years earlier, the upstart American Football League (AFL) had fought the National Football League (NFL) for players, fans, television revenues, and respect.

    You do not have to be a sports fan to see that Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, is clearly superior to Mark Sanchez, quarterback for the New York Jets. The statistics, personal and professional tell the story. I will give some background on the two quarterbacks, to help you get to know their experience. According to “Aaron Rodgers” (2012), “Aaron Rodgers attended Pleasant Valley High School in Chico California, where he was starting quarterback for two years, graduating in 2012. He was recruited by Butte Community College in Oroville, and it was there he was discovered by California Golden Bears head coach, Jeff Tedford. Rodgers. Rodgers was staring quarterback for part of the 2003 season, and all of the 2004 season, but deciding to forego his senior season, he entered the 2005 draft” (“Aaron Rodgers, 2012). According to“Mark Sanchez” (2012), “Mark Sanchez attended Santa Margarita High School, transferring to Mission Viejo High School his junior year. Sanchez committed to University of Southern California, where he attended college after graduating high school in 2005 as the top high school quarterback in the nation. Sanchez was starting quarterback part of the 2007 season, and all of the 2008 season. He decided not to play his final year, and instead entered the 2009 NFL draft, although he did stay in school and finish work on his degree” (“Mark Sanchez”, 2012). Since you now know some of their background experience as quarterbacks, I want you to look at their similarities: age, physical size, and starting quarterback experience, so you can see that they started out on an equal footing. Then I want you to look at their differences: passing statistics and ratings under pressure, so then you can see that there is no question who comes out on top. In reading this…

    The five steps of the writing process are equally vital to the succession of any writing assignment, whether it is for work or school. The five stages include PREWRITING, PLANNING, DRAFTING, REVISING, and PROOFREADING. As our text (Arlov, 2014), explains, “Writing is not a single act, but a process composed of several steps,” (p. 3). Moreover, constructing a strong paper that is well-written (no matter how tedious it seems), requires efficaciously executing all five phases. It is crucial not to take shortcuts by eluding any step of the writing process.…
