contract and replaced him with former co-owner of the Steelers Bert Bell. In 1950, the NFL replaced the Eastern and Western divisions with the National Football Conference and the American Football Conference. Then one year later the NFL started the pro bowl after it had been inactive for around nine years. In 1955, the overtime sudden death rule was used for the first time. Four years later, Lamar Hunt started intentions of creating a new football league and again it was called the American…

This team showed great adversity yesterday. Now I know this game should not have been as close as it was and that needs to be fixed. But for this young Buccaneers team to come out and surrender a two score lead and still overcome adversity is an impressive feat and shows growth with this Bucs team. So many times in the past, we have watched our Bucs slowly self destruct and lose big leads and never get them back. Yes the Bucs should have blown them out, yes the Bucs still suffer from the kicking…

In 1989 Bo Jackson was named to the Major League Baseball all star team and all star MVP. The following year he received pro bowl honors and became the only athlete to be an all star in two major north American sports. In 1991 Bo Jackson injured his hip during a NFL divisional playoff game. He needed to replace his hip after several surgeries. This hip replacement caused Bo to…

As you probably already know the Super Bowl is a massive event where two of the best football teams in the NFL take each other on head to head. This year was Super Bowl 51 and the New England Patriots took on the Atlanta Falcons. The Atlanta Falcons haven’t ever won a Super Bowl, but they were looking to do so on February 5th in front of 115.5 million people. The Patriots had already won four Super Bowl titles but weren’t going to stop there. The coaches of this team are Bill Belichick…

Advanced to five-straight bowl games won a conference championship in 2012 and finished third or better in the competitive Big 12 Conference in three of the last four seasons. Additionally the Wildcats have more Big 12 wins since 2011 than any other team in the conference. However the recent success should come as no surprise as Snyder took over a program in 1989 that was in the midst of a 27 game winless streak and turned it into a national contender that advanced to 11 straight bowl games and…

Super Bowl 50 was one of the greatest moment in football history. It was the Super Bowl that determined if it will be Payton Manning last game in the NFL or will it be Cam Newton first Super Bowl championship win. Both teams were doing well for the regular season but the majority of the people were going for the Panthers because of their almost undefeated season. The Super Bowl is where family members and friends get together to have a good time. The reason I chose this article because I am…

The Panthers sent a strong message with this move showing they will not be pushed around and/or mortgage the future success of the franchise for a player that doesn't seem to have the right mindset for this organization. Especially with just one Pro bowl season and by all accounts a questionable attitude. Prior to last year's breakout season Norman, if I recall correctly he was in the doghouse with Coach Rivera and he didn't play much his first couple of seasons. I understand a player wanting…

Have you ever scored a touchdown before? It all started on a Saturday in October on the thirty yard line of a football field. This is where I began to score my first touchdown. I'm going to tell you how it happened. First of all, it was a chilly Saturday morning in October. The game was held in Reform Alabama at G.S. SPRUILLS Football Field. Before I scored, I kept getting tackled. I would usually gain about four yards each time. Sometimes I would even loose yards. Then, on the next hand…

The NFL—doubtfully the biggest sport in America, of which has millions of viewers—has had a big impact on the American culture. From taking the day of the super bowl off of work to the change in masculinity, football continues to change the culture. Granted many might know just about everything there is to know about the sport, many don’t the suffers of the players. The forceful impact on the body and the head can lead to brain degenerative diseases, to painful body aches, and change in…
