Playoffs

A lot of changes to the game appeared in the 1970s and 1980s including the playoff format being revised, each player had their name on the back of their jerseys, many new rules favoring the offense, the kickers were neutralized, there is now a regular season overtime, penalties increases for hits to the head, neck, and face, ref used instant replay, and the playoffs and the schedule was expanded. Also, the NFL expanded into twenty-eight teams with the Buccaneers and the Seahawks being added.…

A lot of people wonder what the difference between NFL and college football is. NFL and college are two different types of football. They have a lot in common, yet they each have their own differences that make them unique. College teams play for their school. Most universities have football teams; some teams include the Missouri Tigers, Texas Longhorns, and the Alabama Crimson Tide. When players get out of college the “next step” is to play in the NFL. The NFL is a professional football league.…

After spending the first several years of his career between the Boston Celtics and Phoenix, the Arkansas product was not one of the hottest prospects on the market. A strong playoff performance for the Suns in the 2005 playoffs sold the Hawks on the restricted free agent. With Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash, and Shawn Marion, the Suns didn’t match and the Hawks landed a borderline franchise cornerstone. BOSTON CELTICS: James Posey, 2 years/$7 million…

season passes, except this time we make it to the second round of playoffs! I also leave the season with an award for most improved player and eagerness for the next season. It’s now junior year and the team has lost four of it’s starting seniors, our coach is worried for the fate of the team and that this season may be mainly rebuilding, but little did he know that we would be successful in making it to the second round of playoffs once again with the same record as the past season. As the only…

leadership skills, it gave me the chance to communicate with the offense and encourage them to do better. Most of the guys were scared because they had never been in a playoff game. With my experience from similar situations I was able to relate to them and guide them through it. Because of my leadership I helped contribute to our playoff run and eventually a win in the state championship. After my season on offense and defense I realized that using my leadership skills could help positively…

changed upon the acquisition of Chris Paul. His presence immediately propelled the team from an exciting team to watch into a legitimate NBA championship contender. In his five seasons with the team, the Clippers have made the Western Conference playoffs as many times as they had prior to his arrival. Paul has been an All-Star and has appeared on one of the three All-NBA Teams (3x First Team, 2x Second Team) in every season with the team. His productivity on the court has improved. Since…

He’s number one all time in playoff wins, with 19, second place is Joe Montana with 16. Peyton Manning is in fifth place with 11 playoff wins (Joe Calabrese). Brady has won the Lombardi trophy (Super Bowl trophy) four times more than Manning has. Brady has been to six Super Bowls and has won four of them. Peyton Manning has been to three Super Bowls and could only manage a single win. Tom Brady dominates in the playoffs when you compare the two QBs. He also dominates when…

When we got our new quarterback this season I knew we would have a great season ahead, but not everyone agreed. The season started out as usual Romo as quarterback. This has been our quarterback for ten good years and although we only made it to playoffs once this was still my team and Romo my quarterback. The season then took a turn within the first couple of preseason when Romo was sacked and sustained a back injury. Friends quickly began to say, "there goes their season, how about your…

get the right players, coaches, and managers. The saying is, “Managers manage the team, Coaches coach the team, and players play. Within those roles some may have more responsibility than others. And that can separate a championship contender, to a playoff contender. One responsibility teams always assigned to the players, are captains. The captains can empower the franchise or it can devour the franchise. The captains can be assigned by the coaches, or the players take a vote.…
