Decent Essays
As an athlete in today's society I know that you can practice for days, months, years but, that does not matter when you're out in the field. My cheer squad and I Would know this because, it happens every time we go out on the field to perform. Every football game something goes wrong, this applies to our home game October 2nd, 2015. Some people say practice makes perfect it's not always true, performing is crazy. The whole mood of a game of game is determined by, how we practiced before the game goes and, deep down in the pit of my stomach I knew that this game was not going to go as we planned. Before every game we normally get there an hour earlier, but, that was not the case this time the asked us to get their only 30 minutes before

    New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been a strong proponent of an NFL end-zone replay camera. As of now, there is no end-zone replay camera, rather there is only a sideline camera. Although the sideline camera gives replay officials a decent perspective of the football play being reviewed, the sideline replay camera is not always perfectly reliable and sometimes the replay officials make the incorrect call. Belichick believes that if there was an end-zone replay camera as well as a sideline replay camera, then the NFL referees would have another perspective when viewing a replay, which would make the NFL officials' play rulings both more accurate and precise. According to NFL owners and the league, Bill Belichick ranted endlessly…

    Then another reason could be that their brain will not work in the way needed to perceive how to do the work needed for what they are practicing for. While another reason could be that they simply cannot perform how. After all of these reasons, there are the people who would say that people with talent will already be better and not need practice which would make practicing seemingly pointless. Now since I have given plenty of reasons against myself, I am going to prove how and why I think this rule is pretty…

    On January 19, 2002, Adam Vinatieri, New England Patriots kicker, went out on the field for a field goal attempt that no fan would have considered possible for him to make. It was a windy, and snowy playoff game, and the Patriots were down by 3 points to the Oakland Raiders with 27 seconds left in the game. The fans were very nervous, wondering how the weather conditions would affect Vinatieri. Perhaps they worried about the distance, wishing that the offence would have gotten further down the field, giving Vinatieri a shorter kick. But, would getting a shorter kick really have a made a big difference?…

    There are many in the grassroots community that feel the NFL has not created a public affairs campaign concerning the safety of playing football at all levels. Increased player safety has been a priority of the evolution of the game and the league is proud to say that the game is safer and more exciting than ever. The NFL is actively attempting to protect football participants by funding the Heads Up Football Program, enforcing safety - related rule changes at the professional level, implementing a new concussion protocol, and establishing the Player Care Foundation, that is dedicated to helping retired NFL players. In 2014, the NFL Foundation rewarded USA Football with a five – year, $45 million grant to help expand the Heads Up Football Program that teaches safe tackling to youth football players.

    Poetry allows for writing to reveal transitional work and in this case the transitory connection between internal conflict and the will to grow. Louis Jenkins’s “Football” serves as a model for this effort. While the poem is about football and difficult choices, it disguises as the internal battles of the speaker as well. A notable take is how Jenkins guides the readers’ attention to the speaker and his confusing decisions he presents as a quarterback. Jenkins has the readers unknowingly focus in on the speaker himself and these odd comparisons and disconnecting ideas within his words.…
