Confidence is what all Detroit Lions fans felt as they prepared for the Thanksgiving game against the Minnesota Vikings to decide the leader of the NFC North. “ they are a team with potential and they're probably going to make the playoffs but not go very far if they do make playoffs.” Niko George said. “The lions are not that good because they have no offensive line to have matthew stafford have enough time to throw the ball.” Michael George said. “The lions are a very good team with…

All football teams consist of offense, defense and special teams, and all three positions have specific duties they have to do within a game. The top three positions on defense, also the most important, are cornerback, linebacker, and defensive line. On the defensive side, cornerback tends to be the most popular and important player, both in college and NFL levels. The cornerback has many responsibilities, one of which is guarding the player who is sent out to catch the ball that is thrown to…

They told me the running back that I should use which was Davonte Freeman, and they told me the wide receiver and QB. I don’t really remember who those positions were, but at least I knew that they weren’t going to do bad. The point where I began the “keeping-track” part of it was at 11:30 on Sunday morning. I was ready. My draft was set, I had my Extra Flavored Goldfish, and I even got myself a 7-UP. It…

While it’s not necessarily an event in world history, it’s definitely an impactful event for a linebacker on Apollo Junior High’s football team. Ashley Mathews, 13, has played football for her seventh and eighth grade years. She wanted to play football since sixth grade, she says when I ask her when she decided she was going to play. “Everyone told me I couldn’t play, so I wanted to prove them wrong.” Ashley said. “I had a meeting with the district manager of athletics and he sat me down and…

My first raining lacrosse was very exciting. The teams were tied when the fourth quarter ended ended, this meant sudden death. When sudden death started, I had butterflies in my stomach, I was really nervous I felt like I was going to get sick. The teams went back and forth and back and forth. Until the other team got the ball went down the field shot! And missed the goal, everyone was yelling,”Oh!” I yelled at my friend,”Yes! Look for me down the field!” We drove the ball down the field as…

Also, I played some the football video games over years to help in the future. The main video game I played is “Madden” because my brother told me it would help understand the game more. When I played “Madden” it help me learned the plays, each position, what the goals and the game in general. I believe if I wouldn’t of played “Madden” I would be good player like I am today. I play defense line on “Madden” and in real life which helps me learn how to defend my life problems. In my life I had to…

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…

Life in the 1960’s was a lot different than what it is in today’s world, especially in the southern states. The 1960’s was a time when the United States was switching from segregation to desegregation. For some towns desegregation was no problem at all and others not so much. Some towns needed the different race to prove that they were just as good for them to be accepted, and in a small town in southern Louisiana a winning football season would be the only thing that could do that. Call Me By…

Kyle walked from the back of the house to his older brother Brian. Brian swung his legs over the hammock, he rose to his feet and glanced at his watch. When Brian rose the hammock had swayed like someone on a swing. Kyle knew he had probably fallen asleep in the hammock. “You got nothing better to do than sleep.” Kyle said with a slight smile. Brian grinned and shrugged. “I’m gonna miss this hammock.” “Oh,” Kyle said and looked away hurt. Kyle wished his brother had said I’m gonna miss you, too…

defender, you can use bursts of speed to blow past him. This means I get closer to the goal and have a better chance of scoring for me and my team. Also, when the opposition team is on the counter attack, speed is key in order to sprint back into your position and defend. This means my team would have less of a chance of conceding, as there are more defenders back to protect the goal. As I am a left sided…
