Every Sunday during football season, there is one place I will always be, no matter what. As I drive down Lake Cook Road, I feel a sudden excitement. Sundays are my favorite day of the week because I get to not only spend time with my grandparents, but also watch our favorite Chicago sports team play for three hours. I have watched every single Bears game with my grandparents since I was eight. We have been through it all, from Rex Grossman as our quarterback to Marc Trestman as our head coach. However, recently, I have noticed something about our conversations during the games. We always debate whether the Bears should keep Jay Cutler next season. He has always proven to be turnover-prone, but has been clutch throughout the season. The Chicago Bears should keep Jay Cutler next season because he has proven to be one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL. …show more content…
Through his first three seasons as the Quarterback for the Chicago Bears, he averaged a horrible 1.29 TD/Int ratio. Yet, the Bears decided to make him the highest paid Quarterback at the time. “It's a big chunk of money to commit to an oft-criticized player like Cutler” (SbNation). Mike Sando, a reporter for ESPN Chicago ranked Cutler’s contract last in the NFL. Said Sando, “Coaches brought in to help Cutler keep getting fired. Meanwhile, Cutler keeps cashing fat checks. Although the true guarantees in his deal were reasonable on paper, the Bears became accountable for another $25 million after Cutler remained on the roster long enough for injury-only guarantees to become fully guaranteed” (Forbes). Cutler’s criticism not only came with his poor play, but with his contract he was awarded
The Bears suck this year literally, they just blow. Like I’m a really big bears fan and i'm not even watching them anymore because they can't even win a damn game and its really sad. Lets hope they can get the game together next year and get better draft picks that might just help them out. What also that can help them win a damn game is a better defense, just watching them makes me want to cringe and turn the TV off. Now if you thought this offense was underwhelming last season (21st overall), wait until you watch them take the field without do-it-all running back Matt Forte, now a Jet, and tight end Martellus Bennett, who got traded (for virtually nothing) to the Patriots. THE PATRIOTS. Jesus. The Bears may as well have sprung Aaron Hernandez
Baseball in Chicago was very big it grew a lot in Chicago back then in the 1800’s.
The 2016 season was a disappointment for the Chicago Bears. They finished with a record of 3-13, Quarterback Jay Cutler and wide receiver Kevin White were both dealing with injuries, wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was suspended for four games due to PEDs, and the defense struggled.
Throughout these genres, my main argument has been to get rid of fighting in professional hockey. Many will say that I am wrong, and that the game would not be the same without fights, that the enforcer is a crucial role in the game. My counter-argument is simple: have someone who does not follow the sport try to name the two players pictured above. Just about every person will get the first one right: Wayne Gretzky. He’s the “you don’t miss a shot if you don’t take it” guy, and probably the only hockey player that everyone has heard of one time or another. The other? I am willing to bet no one gets that one. That player would be Tiger Williams, who played 14 seasons in the NHL, most notably for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Diehard fans
Mortensen’s report quoted former New York Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi: “You don’t get rid of quarterbacks when get one who has signs of greatness. You fix the defense so he’s not playing from behind all the time and you protect him with your offensive line.”
Outside of that tremendous year, Gruden’s tenure was struck with mediocrity among high expectations with a Super Bowl winning coach. Consider this, for the next 6 season his team’s
The National Football League (NFL) has been under scrutiny because the NFL had downplayed the effects of head trauma and its links to CTE. Only in recent years has the NFL gave into public demand to do something about the concussion issue. However, the NFL could still do more to help its players. The article by Rodney Smith explores the benefits and drawbacks of litigation, administrative action, legislative action, and associational action by the NFL in dealing with these issues.
“The fact that I can still count and put a sentence together I feel fortunate.” –Former NHL player Mike MIlbury on fighting. The topic that I am arguing on is fighting in the NHL. Fighting in the NHL should be banned because it is banned in all other leagues, fighting can cause serious injuries, and it takes spots away from skilled forwards. Fighting in the NHL should be banned for the problems that it causes and I am willing to tell you.
Bear down! There is nothing more in this world, outside of my family, that I love more than my Chicago Bears. Things haven’t been going so well for the Bears these last few years. If you listen to the media and Bears fans, you’d think it was all Jay Cutler’s fault! Jay Cutler, the quarterback for the Chicago Bears, is one of the most scrutinized athletes in all of sports. They say he’s lazy, that he isn’t a leader. He is called a mediocre quarterback and overpaid. The media slams him because they think the way he looks on the sideline, is one of someone who isn’t involved and doesn’t care about winning or his team. Last but not least, he
The football program is to dangerous and should be eliminated because it is way to dangerous to keep. 100,000 concussions occur every year from football that's more than how many shark attacks occur each year, most of the concussions result in death so basically 100,000 teen's/kid's die just from playing football.

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence” (Vince Lombardi). Collegiate athletes have the best chance of success in college, because they constantly get pressure from the coaches to get good grades, won’t have any debt after college because they are on full scholarship and playing sports helps builds social network.
Players for Northwestern University are saying they need to be paid to play ball, this has created a spark across the country. Several major division one schools have brought this to the committee for the NCAA. This is ridiculous, college athletes get so many benefits from, getting to travel the country for free, and a top of the line education for free, and you get so many free clothing items.

Almost all student athletes get butterflies before that Friday night football game, before the fans get to watch them compete, or even the to get the ability to practice. Many argue that high school sports are a distraction in the classroom or even cause career ending injuries. There are many different scenarios that prove that high school sports do the exact opposite of those.

High school sports are very beneficial and for anyone who is looking to take on a new challenge to take on.
The USA is one of the biggest producers and consumers of electricity in the world. We have a lot of creative ways of generating power. In Alaska, they draw geothermal power from the Chena Hot Springs plant. Wyoming provided 90% of the coal used in power generation for 8 states in 2013. If you\'re looking for ethanol producers, look no further than our leader – Iowa! But did you also know that many of America\'s sports stadiums have become miniature power plants? In the past, these stadiums sucked so much power off the grid that they were like small cities in their own right. As part of the NFL\'s efforts to become more green and environmentally friendly, many of their stadiums have been overhauled with solar, wind, and other sources of power
