You would think being the best football player in the school, I would get more respect from my peers but nope everyone calls me the dork who has a 4.0 and plays football. I’m still wondering why it’s bad to be smart now days. Every since I moved here I was teased from day one. There is only 20 days until graduation and I’m so excited to be leaving this dumb. “ AH Kevin, what you thinking about”, asked my best friend Shawn.
The Colts got the ball back and the fans started to boo their team as they left the stadium. The final score was 35-27. The Colts improved to 11-0 in the season and Houston fell to 5-6. I was proud to see my team win despite them coming back from losing by 13 at halftime. Attending my first NFL game was a great experience for me.

I was real nervous when I heard this because I was only a sophomore and my coach had unreal expectations of me. The season flew by and it seemed as if we lost every game. We had another horrible season but it didn’t mean much to me since I was only a sophomore. After that season is when I realized that my whole life I was never on a winning team. I knew that my teammates and I had to work harder during the off-season if we wanted to start winning
I slapped myself in the face to give myself some sense. I began to realize that even though I couldn’t play because of my injury I was still out there playing. I still helped the team win by drawing up the final play. I still helped the team win by teaching Lee about the offense. I was so selfish when I got hurt and didn’t realize I could still be a part of the team.
His 15 tackles for loss, 6 deflections and 2.5 sacks earned him “All-Rookie Team” honors by a leading newspaper. There was no looking back for Lewis, for three consecutive years after 1996 he earned his “Pro Bowl” acceptance each season after another. Ray Lewis achieved his first Super Bowl win and “best defensive player” of the year in 2000. In era 2002, the nation watched as Ray Lewis had only played 5 games due to a shoulder injury. After 5 consecutive years of winning the pro bowl, the trend was put to a screeching halt during the 2002 season, due to his shoulder injury.
Heisman Memorial Trophy The most prestigious award in college football The Heisman Trophy is awarded annually to the most outstanding college football player in the United States by the Heisman Trophy Trust of New York City. The name is in memory of an undersized player turned legendary coach of the early 1900’s, John Heisman. Heisman was an outsized 5’8’’ 158lb varsity football player at the University of Pennsylvania. After nearly losing his eyesight with a close call from lightening, he took his final exams orally and graduated with his law degree in the spring of 1892. Ready to continue with the game he loved, Heisman immediately got his first coaching job at Oberlin College and lead them to an undefeated 7-0 record in only the second year of the football program.
Inspiring, courageous, believe, faith, and positive. I chose inspiring due to all of the inspiring stories Tim shared. From not letting others telling him what he can and cannot do, to becoming one of the best college athletes of all time. I used courageous because of his never quit attitude. He pushed through everything and he had the courage to prove people that he could be a quarterback in the NFL.
Representing my school by playing for the varsity football team was surreal to me. Out of the fifty freshman playing football, I was the only one to suit up and play for varsity that season. Winning that game would have meant going to the playoffs and most importantly, it wouldn’t have been the last football game for the seniors. That game also had a personal significance for me; it would be the first time I would be playing underneath the lights of Eagle Stadium for everyone to
Football is know for being a violent sport and I doubt it will ever change but the addition of more rules and better equipment can prevent brutal Injuries. I’ve Personally experienced getting hit while playing football and the feeling is painful to the head. Researches have shown some Ex NFL players have died from brain injuries and others live with brain problems daily due to the brutal hits to the head while playing football. I personally feel the game should be changed to different way for safety to the players. I first experienced playing football and getting hit to the head my 8th grade year of Junior high school, I was a Quarterback, and there were a few times where I would get hit and wouldn’t remember the play.
