Touchdown

Throughout the years it became routine to call all quarterbacks game managers while effectively despite the athlete’s legitimate tendencies. However, a genuine game manager is a player that despite their poor individual numbers such as passing yards and touchdowns, while performing well enough to win games. Game managers compliment a strong defense…

brother make big tackles. Even if they lose, I still have a smile on my face, because my brother, Joe, always makes me proud no matter what happens. Then suddenly, the score was 27-28, Bulldogs down by 1 point. Time was not on our side, we needed a touchdown and we needed one very quickly. Holland Christian catches our punt and tries to go through our tough defence. Than out of the blue I see my brother, Joe…

distinctly American sport. The National Football League (NFL) is second to none, and is regarded around the world as the pinnacle of pigskin. Beneath glitz and renown, however, lies football’s darker side. It is a punishing sport, and for every touchdown we cheer for, there…

Each and every person has a different way that life can shape them. There are so many things that could make up your own identity as an individual. It can either be in a positive or a negative manner. Most people are known by a specific detail that shapes their own identity. There are several different ways in this case with Dan Thompson. Hard work and dedication shaped him both in the weight room and on the football field at Park Christian High School. Dan’s identity is strongly based on two…

In the NFL, an individual incentive may include “statistical accomplishments, e.g. touchdowns scored, touchdowns caught, physical conditioning benchmarks including weight limits, and rankings compared to other position players” (Mondello and Moxcy, pg.6). Professional athletes have multiple opportunities to earn more income for themselves. If they…

Thousands of tornadoes have ripped through the United States over recent history. The EF5 tornado that occurred in Joplin, Missouri happens to be the most expensive tornado on record. Tornadoes occur during some severe thunderstorms; winds spiral horizontally, then turn vertically, a funnel cloud forms which ends up reaching the ground, which is the tornado. Some tornadoes can be minor while others can cause dozens of deaths and millions, if not billions, of dollars in damage. Winds can reach…

we get in our seats: free pop, free hotdogs, and just pretty much free everything. All I had to hear really was the free hotdogs and I was pretty happy. Let’s just say I ate plenty of them. They start out the game running the kick back for a touchdown and the player comes over to me and gives me the ball. The Dallas Cowboys end up winning the game 50-35. The game was…

Life's transitions are funny, frantic, and fantastic periods that always require some level of guidance. Entering law school is one of those transitions. And, I would say, so is being introduced to the Bluebook, which is an experience that is occasionally funny, frequently frantic, but always fantastic. Wanting to give back to the GW Law community by providing first-year students with guidance through those two tumultuous transitions is why I am interested in becoming a Dean's Fellow. As a…

launches the ball over the massacre… he caught the ball! With a path clear ahead of him, he sprints down the open land, forty yards, thirty, fifteen, five! Then the crowd erupted into bursts of excitement. The rookie Bryce Haverstick won the final touchdown…he won the game. Bryce is a very exciting kid, who deserves to be known. Bryce may be small, but he leads a big life. It all began when he was born…

it takes is one game to show where a player’s character lies. Before the fourth grade, football was nothing more than a pastime, spent with my friends on the schoolyard.

I was no longer with my friends, but with a random group of kids who also shared the same aspirations for gridiron glory as I did.…
