Touchdown

just like it would be in a toe touch. The cheerleader’s arms will be in a “T” motion. In a front hurdler, one’s straight leg is thrown as high as possible directly in front of their face. Their arms will reach for the straight leg in a touchdown motion. A touchdown motion, also known as “candlesticks”, where hands are in a fist and arms are straight. The bent knee is pointed towards the…

On the right Zach Ertz catch was ruled complete for a touchdown in a critical moment of the game. We get two very similar plays but two completely different calls, why though? The referees and the NFL do not know what a catch is. This problem infuriates players and fans. In football there will always be controversy over calls, penalties, catches, touchdowns and so on, but if we have a definite rule of what a catch is there won’t be as great of problem as…

say.“As we head out on that field, you play every minute of the game like it’s your last” We head out on the field with the stands full of screaming fans to cheer us on. Later on at the game, it was now fourth quarter and we were down a single touchdown. There is thirty seconds left on the clock, we’re at the goal line. As we approach the line I see us winning with the crowd sprinting on the field. I reach for the ball “ready, set, hike!” I…

It was just another normal day, it was about three years ago. I had to go into the doctors again to get my yearly echocardiogram, the news I heard was not at all what I was looking for. The feeling of getting something you love taken away from you is the worst possible feeling. to help you through it you just need to use more than 2 legs. I was sitting on the crinkly paper that lays upon the weird bed, not expecting any new news. As the doctor walks in he says that the pictures have came in,…

The team took a great loss, losing a plate like Edgar. Not only did he lead the teacher in touchdowns; he also lead by example and helped the team off the field. Edgar returns for his senior year looking to come away with a college scholarship and become the first in his family to attend college. Not many believed in him in fact many people from…

This is a question people have been asking for centuries can two sports be compared and contrasted. I have these two sports football and baseball. Do you think that we can compare and contrast these two sports? In the United States sports are very important to us as people but some country might not get why we love them so much. Question will always be there, but as people do you think there are some similarities and differences in the sport world as we know. Football and baseball have many…

When discussing who the greatest athlete of all-time, two names come to mind: Bo Jackson and Michael Jordan. Although they grew up in different time periods and played different sports, they both dominated in their respected professions, in which they performed at levels that no one has ever seen before. Jackson and Jordan both displayed crazy statistics over and over again throughout their career but physically watching them helps to truly understand their greatness. Besides being great…

Athletic Club, officially becoming the first person to be paid money to play football, November 12. The Allegheny Athletic Association won the game 4-0 when Heffelfinger picked up a Pittsburgh Athletic Club fumble and ran 35 yards for a touchdown, in 1912 a touchdown was changed from five points to six points. Ahead of time one of the biggest parts of football's history took place when in 1920 Pro football was in a state of confusion due to three major problems. Dramatically rising…

It was a warm, sticky, and humid Friday evening in late August at Marine Corps Base Kaneohe, Hawaii. I had just got done, turning in my M-16 at the armory and was told that we were off work and the word for Monday was 0545 PT (physical training). I dreaded the walk with my 65 pound pack back to the barracks and up the 3 flights of stairs. Then I could lock my pack away and finally get a shower because after hiking 6 miles from 0430 to 1030 in 70-80 degree weather wasn’t fun. After I got to my…

hit my hands: I caught it. I quickly tucked the ball and turned up field running straight for the endzone. There was nobody in my way as I had a straight path to a touchdown. I ran as fast as I could. It felt like time had slowed way down. What felt like 9 minutes was 9 seconds. I had crossed the goal line and scored the winning touchdown for my…
