Despite Tressel’s inaction, Ohio State only suspended their prized coach for 2 games of the 2011 football season and fined him a measly $250,000 of his $3.5 million annual salary (Schlabach). Ohio State takes pride in its excellence in their sports and academics program, but his punishment was weak (Schlabach). Tressel recruited Terrell Pryor, won some important football games, but it was nothing more than an act. Tressel was dishonest to the NCAA policy just for a football title. He deserved to be fired for the stunts he pulled but was not.
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.
Twice during their senior year, Nat had managed to miss the ball completely with his foot, creating some of the most watched video footage of all. The second miss had resulted in a 94 yard run for a touchdown - he had been standing in his own end zone, missed the ball completely, and then, in a series of scrambles and more attempts to kick it, he finally picked up the ball and ran it for the TD. Every other player including the opposing school was laughing so hard that no one could have stopped him if they tried! Rake later gave Nat the Award for the Ugliest Touchdown of the Year. When Neely enters the shop, Nat is overwhelmed to see him.
Devan Eisenmenger Principles of Management Project 4- Motivation Through My Eyes- Tim Tebow Written by Tim Tebow and Nathan Whitaker Tim Tebow, where does one even begin with this man. In college he was known for his heroic comebacks, championships and motivational speeches before and after his games for the Florida Gators. When it came time for the NFL all he heard was “he can’t play, or “he will never be a winning quarterback in this league.” All of that was motivation for Tim. He never gives up and he worked harder than ever to get his chance. This story gives us a vision of how Tim got where he is today and what he had to go through.
The BCS or Playoff I believe in the BCS system. When I think of college football, one word comes to mind, tradition. It’s one of the most exciting sports in the country, and people can’t get enough. Every weekend from September to January, countless fans flock to games or glue their anticipated eyes to TV sets. As teams battle on the gridiron, billions of dollars each year are generated in revenue.
Gaining this publicity has severely changed Tiger’s game and how he carries himself around the golf course. Although his affair happened in 2009, he is still letting the way that the media views him now affect the way he plays golf. Since the incident, Tiger has not won any PGA tours or golfing tournaments and with the way it looks now, it is going stay that way for a while. No one really understands why he is still being affected two years later. After the publicity happened and everyone knew about what he had been doing in his time away from the golf course, it is entirely understandable that he would not be the same on the golf course for a while.
Instead of teaching full time at the school he just taught par time and worked part time at the bar. Once he got laid off from the school his wife left him and left him a note saying “ you are a failure, you will never make any money, and you will never go anywhere in life”. That note was his inspiration throughout the film and every time he would get his ass kicked, have a rough game, or felt like he couldn't do something he looked to the note and always rose up stronger. The biggest difference for me from the book to the movie was that in the book his dad taught him everything he knew and helped him in the NFL, and in the movie his dad did not help him at all and even told Vince that he didn't think is was a good idea to go to the teams tryouts. The only person who really taught him something in the movie was his teammate who played the center position.
And that’s what we did. We were down 22-7 going into halftime against Comstock Park in the regional championship game and in the locker room we all were hanging our heads in shame. Then Coach Webb walked in and reminded us how far we came to get in that position and that the game wasn’t over yet. That we could fight back, and fight back is what we did. Coming out of halftime we scored off of a Jalen Brooks run and reduced the deficit to 8 points.
I can especially remember my forfeiting of the taekwondo class. I was a mere week from achieving the highest graded belt in the class, only to quit two years of hard work from laziness overcoming my kicks and punches. There I was helpless not going to go forward in almost anything. That was until a certain individual came along and changed what was to be my most desired fate. Haram Kang, a smart, but yet intimidating individual because of his incredible maturity was one of the most crucial cures to my disease.
I worked with mixing and processing chemicals, a repetitive and rote role that was worlds away from the life I grew accustomed to in Boston. I rose at 7 am every day, even on some weekends, and left at 5 pm. The work was grueling, particularly because it involved no thought or intellectual output, and I soon discovered that my father assigned me to this role as punishment for my less-than-stellar performance at BU. Furthermore, after weeks on the job, I learned that my father would not simply award me with a good job because I was his son, particularly after a mediocre academic year in University. This continued performance would only earn a position as a factory worker, and nothing
