In his book Hardball, Chris Matthews discusses the useful strategies for getting ahead in politics that he observed during his time working in Washington, D.C. He breaks up his observations into chapters with different lessons. Three of the most important lessons are “It's Not Who You Know; It's Who You Get to Know,” (Chapter 1) “All Politics is Local,” (Chapter 2) and “Dance With the One That Brung Ya.” (Chapter 4). These chapters illustrate how important making and keeping connections and relationships is in Washington. The “game of politics” is played by using these relationships to gain favors, votes, support, etc. According to Matthews, the people who get ahead are the ones who make and keep these important connections and relationships with other politicians and the public.

As time ticked away in the fourth quarter, the Denver Broncos started working on running the clock down. They ran the ball as much as they could then would punt the ball down the field and count on the Broncos defense to keep Cam Newton from getting the Panther offense going. And it worked. Von Miller, who was so big for Denver’s defense in the first half, caused Newton to fumble and the Broncos recovered the ball on the four yard line.

The National Football League (NFL) or as some people may say, “Not for long” is responsible for some of the greatest athletes. Excellence appears to be their one goal, which is to win Super Bowl championships. Some players perform at a high level for a while, whereas others don’t have a chance at experiencing actual playing time on the field at all. NFL players are less and less likely to have a definitive long-term career in the NFL. On average their career may span for about 3 ½ years (Stradley, 2011). (Workman Pub Co, 2002) The NFL has added several new teams, provided innovative equipment, additional rules, distinctive

3. New England Patriots vs Oakland Raiders, 2002 AFC Divisional Round—the Brady Rule (The Tuck Rule): As if Spygate weren’t enough to mar the Patriots three Lombardi Trophies from the turn of the century, there’s also The Brady Rule. Brady drops back to pass in the late fourth quarter in blizzard conditions with his team down to the Raiders—the makings of a great comeback, right? Not exactly. Charles Woodson came around on Brady’s blindside, sacked Brady, knocked the ball loose, and then watched as his teammates recovered it. The refs reviewed it, decided that Brady needed a little help to win, and called upon an obscure rule in one of the most controversial calls in NFL history, robbing the Raiders of a win. The rule has since been abolished.

For Houston, the turnover battle was their friend last season as their turnover margin was plus-1.5 per game. When you have a turnover margin at that rate, you will win a lot of football games.

In 2009, arguably one of the best Super Bowl was played in Tampa, Florida. This game featured the AFC champions Steelers and the NFC champions Cardinals, in which the Steelers prevailed 27-23. As any football fan could tell you the score of this game was not a low one at all. For the cardinals to put up 23 against the Steelers number one defense was shocking. Even more stunning, was to see the Steelers offense generate enough offense to put up 27 point. The Steelers offensive game had been struggling throughout the season, but their hard hitting, alert defense made up for it. Yet, this game is no joke a tam cannot win if any part of their game is slacking. Knowing this the Steelers came out ready to play. This game wasn’t just a high scoring

Cowhisperer 3On the flip side, an important point to understand about the game of football is that it, like allprofessional crafts, do not just begin their first day on the job. Like most every other job, people spend agood portion of their lives working to achieve their goals, working to be the best, but that takes time!For many players, football begins as young as seven or eight years old, and continues every fall until theygraduate from high school. After that period, the pool of players narrows significantly to only those whoare talented enough to play for a university. Finally, once a player leaves college to enter into the NFLdraft to potentially begin his pay-for-play career, only then has he reached his goal. Following the mostcommon format (given above), it would

Chung, college undergraduates increase exponentially, as college sports popularize the school (Forbes par. 1). This phenomenon is known as the “Flutie Effect,” when a Boston College (BC) quarterback, back in 1984, by the name of Doug Flutie, threw a Hail Mary at the last second to win the match (Forbes par. 2). After the game, it not only popularized BC, but it inspired future college students to attend the college. In just two years, BC applications scored up to 30 percent (Forbes par. 3). Since then, marketing experts and even school deans recognized the impact of having a successful college athletic program is crucial in getting admissions (Forbes par. 4). Georgetown University, due to their basketball division winning, their application rate increased to 45 percent between 1983 and 1986 (Forbes par. 5). Northwestern University had a similar scenario, as their application rate increased up to 21 percent, after their football team won the Big Ten Championship (Forbes par. 5). Interestingly, Chung’s research found out that schools that are affected by the Flutie Effect, become more academically selective with athletic success (Forbes par. 7). Even though college athletes, are one of the many crucial tools that colleges use to get undergraduates and make money for not only the schools, but for the NCAA, they are still

Chris Matthew’s Hardball consists of four different parts containing different themes and policies on how the political world is run. All four parts: Alliances, Enemies, Deals, and Reputations contain personal anecdotes, historical context of Presidents’ careers, and rules Matthew’s has formed throughout political experience. The beginning of each chapter starts off with a quote that foreshadows the subject of each chapter. Although Matthews does establish important rules to follow as a politician, I disagree with some of his points even though I am a democrat like him.

Fourth quarter starts with the clock running low Not only that but it feels very slow The quarterback throws the ball like shooting a bow The

In his “Before I Forget”, Leonard Pitts suggests that modern communication technology affected human behavior in a significant way. The author lists examples of gay people killing themselves under the pressure of harsh harassments about their homosexuality from the Internet. Then he goes on and says similar harassments may still take place although targets of those harassments are not homosexual. Leonard Pitts also offers an instance in which a video about an intern’s inappropriate behavior spreads quickly through the Internet. In the end Leonard Pitts argues that under influence of Internet, people are getting cruel because they forget how to interact with others.

(WRAT-4) comes with a professional manual for the test proctor.

Chapter 2 gives a description of the items required for administering the test, user qualifications, and instructions required to administer and properly score the (WRAT-4)

The principle that I chose was the fourth one. This principle states that “judging the quality of evidence is crucial.” I think that the fourth principle relates to my faith and beliefs because I question everything and I weigh out the evidence to ultimately decide the truth. I have a lot of questions about the bible so when I hear stories about what happened in the bible I want to question it and see if it lines up with history. For example in Genesis it talks about how God created the world and all the animals but nothing is stated about dinosaurs. I know that idea sounds crazy but the story is skipping millions of years from when the earth was actually created and dinosaurs roamed the planet before humans and domestic animals. So unless somebody states facts to me I don’t know how I will feel on the situation.
