Argument Essay: Michael Vick I chose to write my argument for Michael Vick, whom I feel is seen as “bad” but should deserve a second chance. Michael Vick is an American football quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. He played for the Atlanta Falcons for six seasons before jailed in 2007 for his role in illegal dog fighting. Former number one draft pick by the Atlanta Falcons in 2001, Vick is an outstanding athlete. He signed one of the largest contracts $130 million plus a $37 million signing bonus for 10 years in sports history.
Is the BCS fair? Again Bill Hancock argues heavily that it cannot get fairer than the BCS. Central to his argument in defense of the BCS is Hancock’s interview with Gary Patterson, the head football coach of Texas Christian University (TCU). TCU is a smaller school than most would expect to be against the BCS, but Hancock highlights Patterson’s support for the system. Hancock quotes an ESPN interview with Patterson saying, “We had a vision nine years ago of reaching a BCS bowl and going to a national championship.
Joe Montana: Simply the Best Joe Montana, the comeback kid. Many believe he is the best to play the game, other will argue differently, but there is no argument in saying he is ONE of the best QB's to play the game. Joe Montana was the quarterback who made the 49ers. He ran the Bill Walsh offense to near perfection.

Last year in the NFL 2 quarterbacks made their rookie debut. One was Andrew luck who played QB for Stanford; he was drafted first in the 2012 draft by the Indianapolis Colts. The other was Robert Griffin the third commonly referred to as RG3 he was the Heisman trophy winner that hailed from Baylor, he was drafted 2nd by the Washington Redskin. These two quarterbacks both have strengths that set them apart from the rest and weaknesses that they individually have to conquer to become great NFL quarterbacks. I will be doing an in-depth statistical comparison analysis to diagnose which one of these young quarterbacks had a better rookie debut, hype factor, who will win a super bowl first, who will have a better career, if RG3’s injury proneness
He would later go on to lead the knights first premiership victories in 1997 and 2001, as well as playing in 2 world cups and 1 kangaroo tour. Though he was a great player his greatness would be ended when a bulging disc formed in his neck forcing him to retire on 10 April 2007, at age 32. He would not be forgotten though for his achievements including being the one of only two players to win the golden boot award more than once as well, being the only player to have one the Dally M Medal for best player in the NRL three times and though it is not official he is considered the best player of all
He tried to pick up the ball and run it in the end zone for pretty much the win but was inches short from the first down and a yard away from the end zone when he was stopped by the linebacker from the Seattle Seahawks, who ended up with the Lombardi Trophy as the National Football League (NFL) champions. In neither of his playoff appearance was he expected to win but just get into the playoffs was the team’s goal at the time. He the head coach from 2003 – 2006. Unfortunately, Bill Parcells who was expected to do great things for the team in the future was ready to quit his stressful 12 month year job and retired with a record of 34 – 32 in the four years as head coach for the

The one thing that Super Bowl V didn’t have in common with the ones before is it had an exciting finish. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1555449! /img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_ 635/spa025511262-jpg.jpg http://henypost.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/howle y.jpg:// Chuck Howley said “it’s nice, but I wish we had won the game”. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1555449.1387684766!/img/httpI mage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/spa025511262-jpg.jpg What an accomplishment to be named MVP on the losing team.

“When a man contributes something of vast importance to a nation, he is set above others and revered” (Schwartz 29), one great man and President who defines that phrase is President Abraham Lincoln, who was taken from the nation way too soon and is the President I most admire and that is admired and modeled by many politicians and citizens of this glorious nation. President Lincoln not only helped assess the diversity of this nation but after a much heated war his tragedy brought the nation together which has not divided since the late 1860s it takes a true “American hero” like “Honest Abe” to establish such
