Background Information Pre-NFL Career “Tim Tebow left the University of Florida as one of the most decorated college football players ever with two national titles and a Heisman Trophy” (Filice). Intro to the NFL “The 27-year-old quarterback hasn’t started a game at quarterback since he was traded to the New York Jets in 2012 and signed by the New England Patriots in 2013. Like the Eagles, the Patriots also cut Tebow in the final weekend before the regular season after being in training camp…

Green Bay Packers Intro The Green Bay Packers are from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Green Bay is one of the longest living football teams. This was kind of recent, but Jayrone Elliott helped out at schools and was very kind to the children of that school, in doing so he was nominated for the Walter Payton award. The Walter Payton award is, an award that honors both your field work, and your involvement in the community. History One thing incredible about the Packers, is that the trophy for the super…

Grit Paragraph What the Packers did in this game is true grit. There was two minutes left in the game the Packers down by 2. The Lions fans are in the crowd cheering because they think they have already won. The packers have been pushing up the field for a while and they have time for just one more play. They are at the 40 yard line on their side of the field and they have to go 60 yards to get a touchdown. Aaron Rodgers (the quarterback of the Packers) looks around ready to snap the ball. There…

Cowboys Flashback: Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots Connections The history of these two teams playing each other is short, as they prepare to play for the twelfth ever and the first time since 2011. The Dallas Cowboys lead the series 7-4 winning the first seven from 1971-1996 and losing the last four meetings in 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011. Despite the limited history, the Cowboys and Patriots have many player and coaching connections: 1.Drew Bledsoe- Bledsoe put his name on the map by…

The Carolina Panthers are enjoying their bye week in the best position possible at 4-0. The last time this team was undefeated was 2003; when we made it to the Super Bowl I'd say that is good karma. Many around the league have called us “the worst undefeated team due to the lack of competition we faced early in the year. My response to that is we don't make the schedule and the reality is in any sport anyone can win on any day. I will echo head coach Ron Rivera's sentiments when he said we are…

Are the Falcons overrated? Entering the 2015 season, the Falcons fans had lofty expectancies for the team to go on to the Super Bowl. However, those expectancies were impractical, considering some of the major unsorted complications. When they had only 6 regular season matches left, Atlanta was at 6-4, a record entirely inconsistent with very naïve expectancies. A precise examination of the Falcons’ record last season reveals how overrated they were. The team’s susceptibilities were really…

The once feared offense of the NFL North now seems to have a Cutler-esque feel. That’s a scary proposition considering all the years Packers fans spent basking in the guaranteed two interceptions a game tossed by the Bears’ starter. So what’s the deal with No. 12? Could it be that the Green Bay receivers just aren’t open? Many a color analyst noted during 2015 Packers games that the receivers just couldn’t separate from the opposition’s secondary. This was partly due to the fact…

First, I helped prepare dinner and snacks before the Super Bowl. We had a variety of food from pigs in blankets to guacamole to barbecue chicken wings, some of the classic Super Bowl recipes. I watched the beginning of the game and the halftime show. They called to the field some of the MVPs from past Super Bowl winning teams. Then, Joe Montana flipped the coin and the Panthers chose tails and they won. The funniest commercial, in my opinion, was the T-Mobile commercial with Steve Harvey.…

The Green Bay Packers have a lot of history to them and their stadium. The Packers have the most championships in NFL…

To describe a human being, you would have to pick many qualities in order to truly paint a solid picture of a person. You can describe them and the subject might say “yes that sounds like me” but the reality is that we probably missed something. This is a really tough situation to be in and you could either insult someone because you missed something about them or they could think you do not really know them. Now imagine having to do it on yourself. You will read about how I am a mentor, how…
