Descriptive Essay On Football

I have grown up watching football with my family and friends, and it is my favorite thing to do. Through years of watching the game, I have learned how it works. It is not just throwing a ball or fans screaming after their favorite team gets a touchdown. There is a strategy that goes into it. First, let me guide you through the beginning of the game. American football is played on a field of grass 360 by 160 feet. You have the longer boundary lines that are the sidelines, and the shorter lines are the end lines. When a player runs down the field and makes a touchdown they are in the end zone. At each end of the field there is a goal line; they are 100 yards apart. Yard lines appear on the field every 5 yards. Two rows of short lines, known as inbounds lines or hash marks, run at 1-yard intervals perpendicular to the sidelines near the middle of the field. All plays start with the ball between the hash marks. At the back of each end zone are two goalposts (also called uprights) connected by the crossbar 10 feet from the ground. For high skill levels, the posts are 222 inches apart. For lower skill levels, these are

Most people believe soccer is nothing but just a game , but for me, it's more than a game it's a passion. Soccer involves hard work , dedication , and long hours out in the field.

I awaited the day before the big game in nervous apprehension. Would the Red Sox be able to rebound from a 0-2 series deficit and advance to face the Yankees? They had already won two straight games and evened the series at 2-2. The next game would be the do or die situation. I stylishly dressed in all of my Red Sox apparel (even the lucky red socks) and prepared for an invigorating game. Mike from the third floor came down to the first floor lounge to watch the big game. Being from Cleveland, Mike was sporting all of his Indians apparel. For the next the 3 hours Mike would be my most bitter enemy. Mike was the antichrist. We would swear at each other, hurl projectiles at each other, and possibly even have an outright brouhaha if things

The National Football League (NFL) has diverged over time during its existence from 1920. The National Football League 's experience is still more exciting today than in past generations.

In Steve Almond’s essay, “You Knock My Brains Out This Sunday and I Knock Your Brains Out the Next Time We Meet,” he starts off by describing a haunting memory from his childhood. He explains how when he watched Jack Tatum collide with Darryl Stingley, he enjoyed the thrill of the violence, yet felt ashamed about the way he felt because Stingley was now a quadriplegic. He goes on to explain why he felt that way, and also why he still kept watching the game, He talks about his childhood and about how his family seemed perfect on the outside, however behind closed doors they were a troubled family with little boys running around with forks and knives and stabbing each other. He goes on to talk about aggression and how soothing it was. He then moves on to talk about the life expectancy of football players and how they live shorter lives, and that Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is common among football players. Almond focuses on how football players suffer long-term brain damage due to the sport. He gives an example of former players saying how they have memory loss and how they see stars frequently. Almond addresses the issue of how the NFL tried to hide the actual facts about what was really going on, and manipulate the players as well. And that even when the truth came out people put

That didn’t stop the Michigan State offense from coming back on their next drive and having three 10-yard runs, two 10-yard pass plays, and a final 6-yard run for the touchdown. My brother and I conducted our infamous ritual-and this time an extra chest bump for the extra point as we heard the MSU fight song played in the background. On the first play after the kickoff, a wide receiver for Penn State caught a pass but then was tackled by a Spartan who also stripped the ball. Demetrius Cox, keen and experienced, noticed the mistake by the receiver and scrambled for the ball. After juking a few Nittany Lions out, and receiving good blocks from his teammates, walked right into the endzone. Ryan and I conducted our ritual for the third time that

“Due to the intensive forecast, the game has been delayed”. “What?”I said. My heart was being crushed as I watched the scoreboard broadcast the weather map. All of the red and yellow was tearing me apart like a wishbone. After about 20 minutes after the scheduled start, the rain came. It didn’t just come, it came firing. People screamed as rain poured down on them. I sprinted to the food stand to get a hot dog and a pretzel. Lightning came next, and it was loud. People screamed every time lightning struck, and I was worried also. I got pretty good video of lightning almost striking a building across the highway. As we watched the rain, we heard very concerning news. “Did you hear that there is a tornado back home?” someone said with a sad tone. I almost peed myself. Me and my dad went and stood underneath the safest area of Busch, and it got pretty packed. The security guards were escorting people from the top 2 levels of Busch. Those were an hour and thirty minutes I would like to forget. So many drunk people in the same area. Lightning stopped an 1 hour and 30 minutes later, but it was still raining but the umpires started the game! It was 11:30 at night, and I was tired. We decided to just go

It had been Irby J. Hornsby’s third time taking refuge in the Superdome. Nothing bad ever happened, the dome always keeping us safe. This time was different, however. I could tell that this was not an average storm, once the population of the stadium reached over three hundred. But once the stadium toppled its normal capacity for such occasions, the storm began raging hell.

“Hello? Anybody there?” As the guy wanders around all he remembered was throwing the ball at the last second. All that he’s hearing right now is torture. He continues to walk forward as his steps continue to echo within the darkness. The game was canceled due to the power outage, but was it really a power outage? While he thinks on what happened. He spots a dead end with a note on it. He read it. “Look behind you.” He

The game is a 2 hours ride to Washington D.C. I set my clock to 7:00 so I could take another shower in the morning. Then I closed my eyes to open them to a ear aching alarm. I rose up from my bed wiped the crust out my eyes then went in the bathroom to take a shower, brush my teeth, and wash my face. I then rushed downstairs stairs to a steaming hot breakfast waiting for me on the kitchen table “thanks ma”. “Welcome baby now eat up l, we have to be on the ride by 8:00” I finished within seven bites. My mom already had the engine running with the heat on max. I quickly grab my gear an and run out the door, my mom is already in the car, windows fogged ready to pull off. I throw my stuff in the back and get in. After 30 minutes of nonstop on the road an reruns on the radio I was knocked out. I didn’t wake up until we were 40 min away from our destination. We finally pull up to this huge stadium with a couple of coaches and majority of my teammates waiting in the

People have always loved to play games. The human race has created hundreds of thousands of games to entertain themselves and to compete with one another. The most beloved games are those of physical sports. One of these sports, that has become a worldwide phenomenon, is the game soccer. The entire world gathers every four years to send out their best team, and to see which country is the ultimate champion.

Though this was once a highly respected position, in Virginia, working as a referee is no longer worth the time, due to a lack of respect, no support system, and the constant variations and changes to the rules.
