In Tom Brady absence, Jimmy Garoppolo needs to be more careful and not be too good. On Friday night when the New England Patriots faced Carolina Panthers in exhibition game no.3, Garoppolo was quite harried. He however managed to complete nine out of fifteen passes throwing a total of 57 yards. He also an oncoming rush in a manner Roy Jr. will at Sigma Chi next week. As the NFL season kicks-off, you can rely on NFL spread.…
Also in football there are two sides of the ball and the Colts defense hasn't been great for a while now and a quarterback can only cover up so much. In 2015 the defense ranked 26th in the league which isn't going to cut it if they hope to win championships…

Would you believe that the Michigan football program makes around 23 million dollars per home game. Now picture this, Jabrill peppers, Michigan’s star defensive player, is in a game against their rival, The Ohio State University. The final play of the game, Jabrill Peppers get the call for man coverage, he is locked on his man and trails him all the way down the field to the end zone. He watches as the ball flies on a direct path towards the receiver's hands, so he leaps into the air and he feels his fingers wrap around the ball before it got to its intended target. As soon as the bottom of his cleats touched the turf, he was off, sprinting down the field towards the end zone, he finds a gap in the red and white uniforms approaching him and he was gone, shedding tackle after tackle, until he reaches open field, where he knows he has done it, and makes the touchdown being the person who won this game for The University of Michigan.…
The NFL was founded in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association. There were 14 teams from 4 different states. It then took the name National Football League in 1922.

Regardless of Manning being released by the Colts, the Brady and Manning rivalry are a series of games between the two greatest quarterbacks in the NFL. As was previously stated, Brady has played with the New England Patriots since 2000 when he was picked in the sixth round of the NFL draft. Manning, however, was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in 1998, in the first round of the NFL draft and played for the Colts until he suffered a neck injury. “Brady, and Manning have played one another a total of seventeen times,” with Brady leading the series 11-6. Although Brady leads the overall series, the two are currently tied 5-5 over the last ten seasons (Myers 23). They’ve also met five times in the NFL playoffs, with Manning leading the series…
Aaron Rodgers is one of the best Quarterbacks in the NFL right now. He plays for the Green Bay Packers, but before then, he had already set several passing records in college football for California. He was a first round pick for Green Bay in 2005, but he didn’t get much play time till 2008. He spent these first years of his NFL career watching another one of the NFL’s greatest Quarterbacks, Brett Favre. Finally, after three years, Aaron Rodgers took his seat as the starting Quarterback for the Green Bay Packers and earned them a Super Bowl victory during the 2010 NFL season. He won the Super Bowl MVP. He was the Associated Press Athlete of the Year in 2011, and voted by the Associated Press in 2011 and 2014 for league MVP. Three…
Numerous sport coaches push players to diet for the idea they will play better and run faster. This is promoting an ideology idea the thinner is better performance. Pushing this mindset in sports can lead to everyday males, such as my boyfriend, to lose weight so he can have better performance. By this argument that thinner equals a better player, how thin is enough? Should Eli Manning lose weight to be a better player? Should we keep pushing male athletes to be as thin as they can be to gain better speed, or should coaches push them to train harder as they do heavier player’s thin counterparts. If a player is thin and they do not perform well, they are told to train more; however, if a bigger player does not do well they are told it is because…
When you think about the Super Bowl what thoughts come to mind? You might think about parties, half time shows, or even commercials, but did you know that the Super Bowl trophy is named after Vince Lombardi? Today I am going to take you on a journey of why Coach Lombardi was a Visionary Leader. He took the worst team in the league and turned them into champions by using his methodical patterns by going above and beyond to know all aspects of his football team. He watched every play and analyzed each player to know their strengths and weaknesses. Next, he used inspirational motivation to get buy-in from his players, coaches, and fans based on his vision to win. Furthermore, I will discuss how he was an Ethical Leader. Coach Lombardi had competing values based off of his Catholic values, but he had openly gay players on his team. Moreover, he used intellectual…
Brett Favre is the best quarterback of all time, and I can prove it.

These records are the foundation of Favre’s case as the best, but let’s take a look and find out why Favre is really the best.…

Today, I heard about a participation argument over trophies being gave for participating in sports. They get a trophy for playing the sport when they did not earn it. Parents don’t realize what they are doing to their kids by just giving them things without and work or earning it. I myself am against the idea of trophies for playing a sport or something unless you or your team did earn it.…
