Tim McManus of ESPN believes that the hiring of Doug Pederson for the Eagles will help the players in the locker room and boost the overall morale of the team. Doug Pederson, a former temporary Quarterback for the Eagles and former assistant coach under Andy Reid, understands that a positive environment is a great first step for leading a team to success. Pederson is not a motivator unlike many other coaches, as he prefers to read from a script and chooses to be straightforward with his players since he was once a player himself. McManus first gives the reader a feeling for what it is like to be a new head coach in the NFL, as there is a great deal of scrutiny ahead as every interaction is closely observed. He then includes a quote from one of the…
Worst Superbowl Ever? Football the world’s sensation. Super bowl 60 is here and it’s not pretty. The Cowboys vs. Patriots. The patriots have not won in 18 years.…
Mr.Wolkoff, You should join the Patriots. . People have rights government canʼt take away, like property. Also, Did you know that a lot of Loyalists were African American slaves? Patriots were led by Sons Of Liberty and Continental Congress. The troops were also led by the one and only George Washington.…
The New York Mets Join Very Elite Company What do the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, New York Yankees, and the New York Nicks have in common? Since one is baseball, two are football, and one is basketball, it can't be anything league related. You might be thinking about championships. After all, the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys are Superbowl Legends and the Yankees have won more World Series championships than any other baseball team in history.…
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.…
Without Dez Bryant, the Dallas Cowboys' offense has been crippled In hopes to improve an offense that’s struggling, the Dallas Cowboys, who’ve been snake bitten with injuries, have made a change at quarterback. Without quarterback Tony Romo, their four-time Pro Bowler and all-time franchise leading passer, the Cowboys were forced to roll with the arm of backup Brandon Weeden, after Romo fractured his left clavicle against the Eagles in Week 2. In three starts, Weeden completed 71 of 98 attempts, completing 72.4 percent of his passes. That looks sexy on paper, but with Weeden under center, Dallas’ passing game didn’t generate plays beyond intermediate distances to stretch opposing defenses for big plays.…
The Washington redskins has been a national football team since 1932. "Redskins" is a a name used originally by native Americans, and also approved by local natives. I believe the redskins name shouldn't be changed because the name gives pride and honor to the redskins tribe. Charles Krauthammer states how years ago, the word "retarded" was simply a word meaning idiotic, but was made into a derogatory term used against the disabled. So the issue is not the team name itself but the ability to change the name.…
It seems to be do or die for the Cowboys as they head into their much needed BYE week. The Cowboys have had quite the heart wrenching season so far, and that is putting it mildly. Week one the Cowboys suffered the loss of their star wideout in Dez Bryant. As if this wasn't devastating enough the very next week, their playmaker and heart of the offense Tony Romo went during the third quarter resulting in a broken clavicle. So there they were.…
The Buccaneers haven’t exactly kept it a secret that they will spend a lot of time this season running a no-huddle, hurry-up offense. Second year quarterback Jameis Winston and the Bucs offense put together their best game of the preseason against the Cleveland Browns when Tampa ran out of the no-huddle every play the starters were on the field. Head coach Dirk Koetter surely couldn’t expect to use the hurry-up approach that much in a regular season game, could he? Winston and the offense have all said they would rather operate out of the no-huddle system.…
NFL football is one of America’s favorite past times. Every Sunday in the fall millions of fans pile into stadiums across the country to with hope that their team has a successful season, and can hopefully go all the way and reach the Super Bowl. Cleveland Browns fans hope for this every year, but are let down again and again. At the time of writing this essay the Cleveland Browns are 0-12 and are well on their way to being winless. If they can’t manage to win a game they will be only the second team in NFL history to go 0-16 in a single season.(Gardner)…
Last Sunday, the Buccaneers escaped with a win against the New York Giants. Kicker Nick Folk grazed a 34-yard field goal to knock off the Giants 25-23 and send them to 0-4. Folk had previously missed two other field goals and an extra point in the game. The Buccaneers have the New England Patriots on Thursday in Tampa.…
This source is an example of biased propaganda in favor of the Patriots. This is because it shows their side of the Boston Massacre in order to create sympathy for their cause. For example, the document reads, "... Like fierce Barbarians grinning o'er their Prey, Approve the Carnage, and enjoy the Day" This line serves to describe the British soldiers during the massacre describing them as barbarians who viewed the innocent colonists as prey, going as far as to say the soldiers enjoyed the event and murder of the colonists.…
The legend, Peyton Manning There are many key components to a good football team. The quarterback position would have to be one of the most important. The quarterback is seen as the leader of the team, and could be the determining factor to a successful football team. There have been many great quarterbacks such as: Tom Brady, Joe Montana, John Elway, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, etc.…
Every since a very young age, I'll I've ever known is football, more importantly Minnesota Vikings football. My dad is maybe the biggest fan there is, every Sunday, Monday or Thursday game, he's watching. Always cheering or yelling. That’s a big one, he yells like the referees can hear him. I could never have friends over on Sundays because of the yelling.…
