Nfl Pros And Cons Essay
Two of the three scheduled debates between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is slated to run interference against two scheduled NFL games making the two biggest questions this preseason: Will you watch the games live and tape the debates? Or, perhaps, you bag the debates altogether?
In our republic where the uninformed voter is legion, bagging any televised debate doesn’t even compare to missing the Super Bowl or even the Quick Lane Bowl. In a country where baptisms, funerals, weddings, and even Thanksgiving Day dinner is all strategically subjected to a football schedule, we can do without the dumb questions.
After all, that’s what liberals are for.
In this polarized nation, it is football that remains our one shared and true passion, the national pastime. …show more content…
Moreover football has devolved into our American religion because there are no agnostics or atheists on Sunday or Monday, or the rest of the week that secretly yearns to call for an NFL game of their own.
Deep down in places we don’t care to examine, we all understand what’s more important: the next occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, or whether or not our favorite NFL franchise covers the spread and makes a playoff run.
Many are cued to what The Donald’s plan is: Get his poll numbers below 15 percent, which would disqualify him from participating in the scheduled debate that would then enable him to take in both games. This is why the Libertarian candidate former Republican and New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson won’t have a seat at the debates because he is polling at around 13 percent. Many folks may have forgotten that Trump owned the New Jersey Generals of the long defunct, USFL. And to think Democrats and their Country Club Republicans flunkies are still questioning what Trump is doing. Politicians, lies, scandal and another Clinton running for office will come and go, but the national pastime remains entrenched in the American psyche, so don’t you dare touch that remote.
After five Dallas police officers were assassinated, the Dallas Cowboys began wearing “Arm-in-Arm” decals on their helmets to honor the police.
Dallas petitioned the NFL to continue wearing the decals during the season. Naturally, the lords of the NFL rejected their request. The NFL does however allow Beyonce to perform an anti-police diatribe to the Black Panthers at the Super Bowl, and continues to berate North Carolina because men should not be in women’s restrooms.
Last year, concussions in the NFL were up sixty percent. Not factored in was how often Johnny Manziel woke up not knowing where he was. London could be the first foreign port to get an NFL franchise. The English love beer, brawling and drive on the left side of the road, so for players the only adjustment would be the time change.
PSU’s September slate will be their most challenging in a generation. With the quarterback situation unsettled, head coach James Franklin knows if things don’t pan out favorably, his tenure in Happy Valley could be abridged. Franklin may be a highly regarded recruiter, but not all recruiters are great coaches. For Franklin, the sand in the hour glass is running and there are no
timeouts.
An investigation into Susquehanna University’s football program revealed Nick Lopardo, a longtime athletic department donor paid, part of a player’s tuition. The fallout: last year’s five wins were vacated and there will be no post-season play this year, which was a reach, regardless. In addition, the program will be placed on probation for two years and Lopardo’s name on the football stadium is history.
Nearly half a century has elapsed since Bucknell and Temple played on the gridiron. That will end in 2019 with the game in Philadelphia. For 44 consecutive seasons from 1927 to 1970 they played with the winner earning, “The Old Shoe.” Where that “old shoe” is who knows or cares? If Bucknell is sincerely seeking to renew a competitive intrastate rival that would actually generate some authentic local interest; they need to look east down Route 80 and rekindle their play with Bloomsburg University.
Selinsgrove has added a new press box to match their state-of-the-art facility, which has been long overdue -- like to putting term limits on every political office throughout this fruited plain. Southern Columbia will defend their class AA state title and with two extra classifications now in the PIAA, history is beckoning to be made. Mount Carmel will contend and Shamokin is rebuilding and everyone already knows where the Coal Bucket resides, but there’s a reason why they play ‘em and if you can’t watch, you can listen online with BDSN and Bill 95.
