The Indianapolis Colts have been put in an extremely tough situation. After winning only a few games in the previous season the Colts now have the 1st overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft coming up at the end of April. As of right now Andrew Luck (senior quarterback at Stanford) looks like he has all of the tools to become the next great NFL quarterback, ironically analysts say that he is similar to Peyton Manning. This is Ironic because currently the leader and starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts is Peyton Manning. After over a decade with the Colts and a few injuries, many people feel that the great quarterback's time might be over in Indianapolis. The Colts owner along with the coaches have been considering to start a new era,…
Then we checked back into our hotel and as I fell asleep I grew anxious in anticipation for the big game tomorrow night. The next day started off by eating breakfast at the hotel. It was the typical continental breakfast which consisted of waffles, cereal, donuts, bacon and eggs and other types of good food. At breakfast we decided that we would get to the game early so that we could experience all of the exciting pregame festivities. I mostly sat around and watched TV until it was time to…
and the biggest face of the New England Patriots organization, is Tom Brady. Brady, whom is one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks is commonly recognized in a lot of different ways. The many mixed emotions about Brady oppose to his abilities on the field, are a concern to many, and amazing to the others. He is pointed at as the greatest quarterback of all time, a cheater, a cry baby, a celebrity, and a role model for many. In my eyes, he is hands down the greatest quarterback to ever touch a…
the age of 20 for the O.S.U Cowboys. In 1989 Barry Sanders was drafted 3rd overall in the 1st round by the Detroit Lions. When Barry Sanders joined the Detroit Lions he was offered the #20 Jersey to represent former Lions greats Lem Barney and Billy Sims. In 1991 Barry had finished the year with over 1,500 yards and finishing behind Emmit Smith of the Dallas Cowboys. The Lions had finished 1991 with 12-4 then had lost to the Redskins in the NFC championship. Barry Sanders had signed with the…
New York came into this game with one goal in mind, to contain the dynamic skillset of Miami’s Jay Ajayi and force quarterback Jay Cutler to beat them. They did just that as the 2016 pro bowler finished with just 16 rushing yards on 11 carries while Cutler completed just 26/44 passes while tacking on to his notorious interception count over the years. In fact, the one touchdown Cutler through in this game came with just 6 second left on the clock in the 4th quarter down by 20. It was no surprise…
No team can win it all in the first few weeks, but the wheels can come off at anytime. The early part of the season is all about staying relevant and putting yourself in a position where a late run can get you to the Super Bowl. While no team is more than a few games away from being in the hunt, even this early in the season, it’s hard to like your chances if you are a fan of the Bears, the Browns or the Bills. The Browns are…
three weeks ago was written off out of the playoff picture the Jets who started the season 4-2 through the first 6 games was posed to be serious threat. However after finishing 5-5 through 11 weeks there was grumbles of replacing Ryan Fitzpatrick as quarterback with Geno (yes I said Geno) smith from the fan base, which after Fitzpatrick trimmed his beard the jets turn right back around and are on current three game winning streak since. Key to win: The Jets front seven on defense are 1st in the…
Matt Cassel took over in 2008 after Brady suffered a season ending leg injury. Cassel threw only 33 passes in college after losing his job to both Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. After barely playing in college, how did he manage to throw for 3,693 yards, and 21 touchdowns leading the team to an 11-5 record. He then leaves New England after receiving a $62.7 million contract from the Chiefs. He was never able to come even remotely close to the success he had in New England as he is back to being…
A future hall of fame quarterback trying chips in a supermarket sounds like a decent idea for a Tostitos commercial. This is actually advertising Nationwide Insurance. While this advertisement might entertain the viewer and get the Nationwide jingle stuck in their head, this advertisement for Nationwide is unlikely to be effective because, it doesn’t mention car insurance, and because Peyton Manning doesn’t give any credibility to this advertisement. This advertisement goes through a day in the…
the most passing yards? The most games with a perfect passer rating? Peyton Manning achieved all of this. Peyton Manning was a football player, and he led the Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts to the Super Bowl. Peyton Manning had a good start to playing football in his early life. Peyton Manning has two brothers. Archie, his dad, played professional football. Peyton’s dad taught him how to play football and he loved it (Tieck 8). In high school he received a national player of the…
