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…
On Wednesday the Carolina Panthers sent shockwaves through the NFL world when they decided to resend the franchise tag on cornerback Josh Norman making him an unrestricted free agent free to sign anywhere.

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…

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.

Last season provided more than a fair share of difficulties for the Detroit Lions running back, Ameer Abdullah. Throughout his rookie season, Abdullah was unable to secure the trust of the Lions coaching staff due to a severe case of fumbleitis. His habit of putting the ball on the ground started to create a snowball effect and both his confidence and pride began to slip away each time one his carries resulted in a fumble. Abdullah fumbled during the loss in Detroit’s 2015 season opener against…
Tight Ends How have tight ends turned from just another lineman to point scoring machine? One they are bigger than most other plays so they can't be tackled easily, and two they are usually drafted for their catching skills, not their blocking skills. Tight Ends, almost all do some very amazing things, an example of a good tight end is Travis Kelce, who played in college, and the NFL.

I propose that the playoffs be expanded to fourteen teams because it will draw more fans to the game, more…

He was born into a family with 16 children, who provided little to no support. Oher was a foster child, but would often run away from those homes in search for his mother, giving him the states nickname “runner”. As a homeless teenager in high school, Oher would go to random places just to keep warm. Michael Oher was born on May 28th,…
