The Atlanta Falcons haven’t ever won a Super Bowl, but they were looking to do so on February 5th in front of 115.5 million people. The Patriots had already won four Super Bowl titles but weren’t going to stop there. The coaches of this team are Bill Belichick…

Advanced to five-straight bowl games won a conference championship in 2012 and finished third or better in the competitive Big 12 Conference in three of the last four seasons. Additionally the Wildcats have more Big 12 wins since 2011 than any other team in the conference. However the recent success should come as no surprise as Snyder took over a program in 1989 that was in the midst of a 27 game winless streak and turned it into a national contender that advanced to 11 straight bowl games and…

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…

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 a player that doesn't seem to have the right mindset for this organization. Especially with just one Pro bowl season and by all accounts a questionable attitude. Prior to last year's breakout season Norman, if I recall correctly he was in the doghouse with Coach Rivera and he didn't play much his first couple of seasons. I understand a player wanting…

Have you ever scored a touchdown before? It all started on a Saturday in October on the thirty yard line of a football field. This is where I began to score my first touchdown. 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. Before I scored, I kept getting tackled. I would usually gain about four yards each time. Sometimes I would even loose yards. Then, on the next hand…

From taking the day of the super bowl off of work to the change in masculinity, football continues to change the culture. Granted many might know just about everything there is to know about the sport, many don’t the suffers of the players. The forceful impact on the body and the head can lead to brain degenerative diseases, to painful body aches, and change in…

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.
