The NFL can justify loaning the maximum amount to Dallas because according to FurtureBrand in 2003 they were the most valuable NFL franchise at $300.5 million
Matthew Robinson Ancient History: Period F Mr. Sortal December 19, 2012 G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time) By definition, great is defined as of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average.

Spencer Colson Dr. Petrovic English Comp 1 November, 21, 2013 Revolution of the Game The sports drink, Gatorade is a popular amongst professional athletes these days and they have said to revolutionize the game with priming, fueling, and recovering athletes to start a revolution for all athletes. Advertisements in this decade are like a planted seed in our minds that grow and grow till we have had enough and buy into their schemes that they throw at us. I am not accusing Gatorade to be lying and cheating us into your wallets but that they persuade us by using pathos, ethos, and logos to lead us into a direction that seems to be the only way in our eyes to become better then your oppositions.

Media is the backbone of American society today. People thrive on the drama of knowing what celebrity did what with who, or what stocks crashed this week, or even what the next act of congress might be. Every individual will have their own opinion on how important all of these topics are, but the fact still remains that without media, the large majority of people in today’s American society would be lost.
