Before the Game

But before the Draft, Gifford’s personal life began to change. He married his college girlfriend, Maxine Ewart, in January of 1952 and five months later, his wife gave birth to their first child, Jeff. The same month, the New York Giants selected Gifford in…

and picked it out of the air and brought the ball along with my body to the ground. As I was getting up off the ground I heard the ear piercing sound of the final whistle. Everyone on the field, along with myself, stomachs sank because they knew the game was headed for a PK shootout. But for me it was different. This was my dream. This was all I dreamt about for 8 years of my life. This is my moment. The moment I get a chance to be the hero of my team. The moment I get to show everyone, all the…

I made it about halfway through the football season that year. Things were not going well for our freshman football team this season. We struggled to get through every game and the team held a record of one win and six losses. The season so far was very hard on me. The team had many let downs with very few close calls and even fewer highlights. Our football team had never been good. My team included the same group of guys since the six grade, most of them were still the same size in high school…

practices were not down to business like they should have been. Fast forward a few games and we were not playing very well and it seemed like only a few girls cared about playing and being competitive. I could tell that it was going to be like that all season, and at the time I wanted to play softball in college, so I really…

go to the game for the Snapchat filters, or to make their friends jealous. You can find them taking selfies and group pictures the whole game. One of them will probably end up asking you to take a picture for them. If you watch them, you’ll notice that they don’t watch the game at all but are constantly on their phone, till something good happen and they will be cheering the loudest. Another common person you find is the Groaner. These people fight every call that is made in the game, well…

Call of Duty Black Ops 2: Best Installment or faux pas? The speculation around what purpose video games have, is really just a perspective. However, there are a large variety of games that could fit the preferences of anyone on the planet. The developers at Treyarch primarily try to target people who love fast action, exhilarating content and ever-challenging missions. Although most of their games have brought a vast amount of success and money to the publishers and developers, there will always…

From pom-poms to back handsprings cheer leading has evolved, yet kept the same foundation as before. Cheerleaders still wear short skirts and pump up the crowd during a winning home basketball game but what most people do not know is cheerleaders have found their own way to show off their athletic abilities. However, they are not showing them on the sideline of a football or basketball game. These girls will be flipping, jumping, and stunting on the blue mats in front of seven judges and a crowd…

worked tirelessly to create games that serve up the “fun” factor. As you can probably already guess, this game has a heavy wolf theme. While the graphics used could seem dated by the standards of today, but the gameplay is what hooks you, as players are regularly treated to bonuses and winning combinations. On top of that, like every great slot machine, Wolf Run is packed with features such as wilds, scatters, and free spins, which means it is certainly going to be a hard game to ignore. At the…

Hunting is viewed as a sport by many, but a game by few. It is a measurement of the wits of man versus the instincts of animals, and often times the mental strength of humans overcomes the physical strength of animals. In the past hunting was used as a means for survival, but today you can drive to the nearest grocery store and purchase your meat faster than you can load your rifle. Therefore, hunting is used more for recreational enjoyment than necessity. Many people in today's society use…

This game is unlike any other game people have played before. There is no way anyone can compare everything that ties into it. People literally have to have a couple of screws loose in order to be successful at it. Even if there are a couple of screws loose, that won’t carry the individual too far. Besides the insanity, passion is the main necessity. The game destroys people who can’t gain love and appreciation of it. Only a few men can play it, and an even smaller portion can truly be…
