Every season, the National Football League (NFL) has 32 teams all grinding out the 16 games for one of 12 playoff spots, which means a chance to be crowned Super Bowl champion. For many years, it seemed the same 12 teams were in these spots, while 20 other teams fell further and further behind in making a push to be a contender in a very difficult league. The last few years, however have been different as some teams have risen to new heights while others have fallen from the promise land to a dismal ending. A number of factors contribute to why this is happening; the largest reason behind this is the play of their current…
The most eventful thing that I did this Summer is ride a float in the Touch of Dutch Parade for Pop Warner. I threw out beads and candy. I went to the booth that Pop Warner had. The booth that they had was a dunk tank. I had to sit their all day because my mom had to run it.…
It was a hot summer day in Rayville,Louisiana. My 12 year old All-Star season was going great, even though we had only played a few games. Little did I know that this game would change my whole baseball career.…
Then there were two! My Carolina Panthers will face the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. It's been amazing to watch the Panthers mature and trust the process. In sports the most difficult thing is to be patient because this is an industry that is judged by wins and losses.…

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…
One Monday night my dad and I were fighting about who was going to win the Super Bowl. We fell asleep and lighting stuck our house. I woke up in my dad’s body. I screamed and he came running into his room. We stood there and just look at each other like what do we do now.…
I was always afraid to play the position of quarterback on the football team. I am good at blocking and catching the ball, but when it comes to throwing the ball I get nervous.…
There was more than one champion on the day of Super Bowl XLVII. When I was in 8th grade, my family hosted a Super Bowl party. My family and our guests had a Super Bowl pool. Two dollars were collected from each guest and the winner, my friend Conor, left that night with $40. This enjoyable night sparked my interest in gambling on sports.…

Our quarterback broke his leg doing some activity with his family over the weekend. The coach chose me to be the new quarterback because if he would have chose someone else we would have been negative in the position that he chose I felt like the coolest guy in the world because i was starting for a football team It was 8 man football which means that we had 5 linemen, 2 running backs, and a quarterback.In 11 man you got 5 linemen, 1 quarterback, 1 running back, and 4 receivers.…
I shuffled across the field watching the running back take the ball running to the right side. I was the only one there to make the tackle Tyler and Kai both got blocked by Lineman and Landon got blocked by a receiver. I ran across the field, we both met at the pylon I only had to hit him out of bounds so I dove……. And I missed. As I fell to the ground my eyes were closed. I opened my eyes and I felt a sharp pain in my right elbow. It felt like my arm had split into 2. I looked over and I saw Landon.I said “ Landon go get the coaches I think I broke my arm.” I thought I had a broken arm. So he looked over at my arm and said “ Oh my gosh.” He started screaming for the coaches saying “Koen hurt his arm! Koen hurt his arm!” As Landon was getting them I was wondering what was going to happen to me. I was about to throw up, I…
“Swish” as the ball goes through the net. The crowd went wild in the stands as Adam shot the ball. Adam is a tall and brown curly haired boy, with wide hands up to eight inches long. Coach Smith was off his seat and sweating a lot. Coach Smith is a big, bald, and a tall man. The team was down by two, they had the ball. Seven seconds left, the clock was ticking. Two seconds left Randy, had shot the ball at the three point line. Randy is a hairy chimpanzee that loves to play basketball. There was no time left on the clock. When suddenly, the gymnasium was left in complete darkness, just before if everybody saw if the shot was good or not. When the lights turned backed on Randy was gone. Everybody was looking for him. All that was left was Randy’s hair…
It was a Friday night in mid August 1991. I was a noseguard and middle linebacker on defense, depending on the play. I also played right guard on the offensive line. This is the story of a night that could of well ended any hope of being an athlete, on any level, from this point on. I will be telling the story from the defensive side of the ball, due to that is where I was playing when I had five vertebrae, slightly, separated.…
