Positive Points In Football

Decent Essays
Whenever you play fantasy football you just think it is all just friendly competition, but the computer that files your score has to go through a somewhat complex formula that depends on your player’s touchdowns, field goals, yards they ran, and bad plays. Then it adds that all up from your 16 player’s games.

First, let’s cover the positive points. Whenever one of your players get a touchdown they get 6 points. They also get 3 points every field goal. There is even points being handed out for running. For every 10 yards a player runs while rushing or receiving they get 1 point. Even when they catch a fumble they get 2 points.

There aren't just positive points, for bad plays like penalties they lose points along with running in the wrong

    The Kansas City Chiefs have put themselves on the proverbial ropes the first 4 weeks of the 2015 NFL season, losing 3 out of those first 4 contests, two in heartbreaking fashion. It seemed a welcome reprieve would be the dysfunctional franchise from the Windy City, otherwise known as the “Monsters of the Midway”. The 2015 version of the Chicago Bears resembled nothing even close to your grandpa’s Midway Monsters. The Bears were weak at the wide receiver position, and quarterback Jay Cutler had missed half of the games already this year due to injury. The defense was suspect and the offense even more so.…

    The instructions that they have to follow are so simple such as being told to run a “go” by their coaches. A “go” is when the wide receiver just runs straight down the field and the quarterback throws him the football. It is that simple. That may question people on why these athletes are being paid so much compared to jobs that actually matter. These athletes just practice the same plays over and over and are not learning anything…

    To help achieve a better understanding of how comparable professional athletes are in their respective sports, looking at the top 100 earners in each sport will help. The MLB dominates other sports in average salary for the top 100 earners with 16.4 million dollars. Although the MLB has the highest average salary for the top 100 earners in the sport, they are being undervalued. “On average, teams are undervaluing players by 357,836.64” (Pearce). Since athletes in baseball seem to make the most on average, franchises can get away with not paying an athlete what they are actually worth.…

    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.…

    I think every player at the quarterback, running back, and receiver positions has that one number in the back of their mind before the first snap of every regular season. The goal, what they want to accomplish as an individual concerning productivity. Yes, there are teammates needed in order to help pave the way, but the total number of yards they are able to gain throughout the course of the season is a direct reflection of their abilities as a professional athlete.

    From a young age, I always loved playing football; being out on the field is one of the best feelings ever. The adrenaline, hearing the crowd cheering, scoring touchdowns; it a rush that goes through my veins and I cannot get enough of it. I would play because I enjoyed it, but I had no idea how the simple game of football would change my life for the better. Growing up I used to see my friends come home from little league practice everyday on school days and that really used to make me mad. They used to get home when the street lights were on and we were not able to come outside and play at that time.…
