Touchdown

person, whether they are man, woman, or child, is forced to play and show a passion for football. If you choose to rebel against this rule, you are taken away to a Slocup, a place where torture is most brutal, and escaping is only a distant vision. Unfortunately for Stikle, he is not a football player. In fact, he is downright awful at football. He cannot throw nor catch a ball, and most importantly, he cannot even run. At every football game, he sits on the cold, rigid bench, never to even gain sight of the playing field. Throughout this season, Stikle has participated in one single play. The end result was disastrous. He dropped a ball that was snapped directly to him, and the defense scooped up the loose ball for an 80-yard touchdown. The law on this planet is if you do not play at least three plays per season, you are sent off to Slocup, never to be seen from or heard of again. With the last week of the season winding down, and only one play under his belt, Stikle was in a serious predicament. He had to do something, and it had to be done immediately. He tried dressing as another star athlete. That did not work. He tried working out; jogging, lifting weights, running sprints. No success with that either. He even tried paying off his teammates so they would allow him to play. Of course, there was no chance at two plays with that strategy. Stikle was beginning to lose hope. Two evenings later, on Friday night - the night in advance of gameday, Stikle…

could during double sessions, to get noticed by the coaches. I impressed the coaches during the scrimmages, but I still wasn’t a starter. The first game I was on the sidelines the whole time, as i watched our team go and fight the best fight we’d have all season. After the game I talked to my coach about how I wanted to play and they said I’ll have to wait my turn. That got me excited for the future. Second game I didn’t start but I was in playing as a second string d-end, and we blew out the…

My boys had to get there this year, they were playing like champs. In the game leading up to the Division Playoffs the Cowboys rested their starters. We already were leading in the division and in the playoffs, so no need to risk injury to any starters. Romo came in and played in the game against Eagles with a pass to Williams that led to a touchdown. This could have been his final play for the Cowboys, that is still up in the air however. With no starters and the third string quarterback…

Tater dominated in baseball he still wasn’t accepted in football by anyone else, that is until he threw his first pass. At first Tater was never given a shot at quarterback because the town wouldn’t accept a colored kid leading the football team. But, one night as a last resort Tater played quarterback, turned out Tater was a phenomenal player with a fabulous arm and so quick no one could hardly touch him. From then on he became the starting quarterback and Rodney was the star offensive lineman…

It was extremely fun and by the time we got really into it, the wave suddenly stopped, drawing everyone’s attention to the field. Marshall makes a touchdown!! They put us back in the lead. As we intercepted the ball, the family behind us got so furious they left. Then in the midst of all the cheering, we made another touchdown, making it impossible for Purdue to even tie. The whole stadium went crazy, there was endless screaming and cheering as the tears built up in my eyes. We were…

The official definition of a dead ball in accordance to The National Football League 's rule book is “A Dead Ball is one that is not in play. The time period during which the ball is dead is Between Downs. This includes the interval during all timeouts, including intermission, and from the time the ball becomes dead until it is legally put in play. “ (Goodell 4). According to the rule book a dead ball can be declared for a number of reasons namely when the player is down, when a player 's…

better to teach football then him? He never asked us to do anything he could not get down and do for himself. Coach would show us how to do full speed-hit-drills without pads. He never forced us to do anything, but slacking was never tolerated, in stead Coach would push us to our breaking limits. When he got us there he show us, we can push pass them and set new limits by pushing us even harder when we felt weak and couldn’t keep going. He told us the hard work we did wasn’t to make ourselves…

winning 10-3. During halftime we went down to get Papa John’s pizza and some sodas and demanded “Can we get 2 cheese pizzas and 2 sodas, please.” When we were walking to our seats we noticed our quarterback (Michael Vick) wasn't on the field instead it was Landry Jones who played the rest of the game. It was a really exciting and nerve-wrecking game considering that we were up 18-13 and the Cardinals had the ball with 2:26 left in the game at our 20 yard line. It was 1st & 10 for them at our 20…

slants on one. You rush to the ball Down, Set, Hut you drop for a pass 5 seconds left you see the blitz you're running now you're wide receiver is open he's waving his hand now you launch it to him in the endzone and he jumps up for it and the pass is. Ladies and gents this is football. Football why do we love football maybe it's the thrill of the 70 yard run for a touchdown. or maybe it's the energy of watching the linebacker stuff the running back for a 15 yard loss. In my essay i'm…
