I chose to write about Derrick Rose and Shawne Merriman this week, the name of his article is I’ve been there. The article discussed Derrick Rose and Shawne’s knee injuries.

The Ravens have got off to a rocky start so far in 2015 with a 0-3 record, however, they’ll look to take advantage of a short-handed Steelers squad. Pittsburgh has had a solid start to their season, but they’ll be playing without longtime field general Ben Roethlisberger. This will be a pivotal game for Joe Flacco and the Ravens, so there should be some decent fantasy numbers coming from Baltimore.

Throughout the states, questions and doubts about players safety have arisen. Despite the worries, statistics show the amount of injuries are not abundant enough to call out football as “Too Dangerous”.

All though friendships and building one's character can take place when playing a contact sport, the risk outweigh the reward when it comes to the research done on injuries that occur every year when playing sports such as the ones

Most volleyball injuries are classified as either overuse or traumatic injuries. Overuse injuries occur over time due to stress on the muscles, joints and soft tissues without proper time for healing. Traumatic injuries occur due to a sudden injury, force or impact.
