Creeping up to the line of scrimmage, as a cornerback, my mind was trying to figure out what the quarterback was going to do with the ball. I got into a defensive stance, into a mid squat, and I was on the balls of my feet with my left leg in front and my right leg right behind my left. My arms were in running form, with my right arm in front. I was waiting for the ball to be snapped. HIKE! The ball was snapped from the center to the quarterback. In front of me were the offensive linemen with…
When a problem arises, people tend to look at others to assign blame when (more often than not) their finger should be pointing right back in the mirror. The NFL should not be given sole blame for the concussions players suffer while playing football; they are simply the easiest to target. When it is all broken down, the NFL would not even exist if it were not for every person who has ever bought a ticket, tuned into a game on the television or any form of device, or even bought merchandise. The…

Show host Jon Stewart, the name of the Washington D.C. Redskins is critiqued by both fans of the football team and Native Americans alike. Due to the heavily entrenched racial connotation of the particular word “redskin” many feel as though it not only is entirely inappropriate, but also highly offensive to those who have felt the full impact of the nuance the word entails. However, fans of the team believe it represents nothing other than tradition, and stands as a symbol of camaraderie,…
James sat down on his old couch on Sunday afternoon, on a chilly February day. He had the small, cramped living room to himself as his wife and children were somewhere else in the house. With no one to distract him and nothing to do, he decided to watch the Daytona 500, something he regularly did with his free time. At first, he was just flipping channels, seeing what was on. When he flipped to Fox and saw the NASCAR race, he settled into the couch and planned to be there for a while. He was…
to be a head coach for women's college basketball, but I have no experience. Now I have to be a team manager and work for free. This is my American dream because I am doing something I love.

My dad went school at Tulane for football, so I've been a huge fan of Tulane football since I was born. Tulane was the ultimate underdog, but they won 65-63 in overtime.…
