Tim Tebow is one of the most inspirational active sports players to younger kids and even adults. Tim Tebow has overcome many challenges in his life, he won the national championship in football at University of Florida as quarterback. He later entered the draft and was picked by the Denver Broncos in the first round and twenty- fifth pick. When Tim Tebow joined the league it was not for him, he had only bad games situations we usually go deep down to find talents that we never knew we had. We tend to rise to the occasion and complete tasks that need to be done by us because we are the bravest to do it. I do agree with this specific prompt because there have been times where I have had to rise above and be the bigger man to complete challenges. There are also many famous figures such as: Tim Tebow, my great uncle, and Steve Jobs. These people in one way or another have started with nothing and made millions and billions. They have all found talents that they did not know they had. Their hidden talents have impacted families, fans, and the evolution of technology.

American football has been around since the early 1900's. The players tackle each other until one is on the ground. Football has always been a full-contact sport. Throughout the years injuries have stayed part of the game and the NFL has taken their time to increase player safety. The NFL should increase player safety because of the injuries have occurred. Some of the injuries may be lifetime injuries. Serious brain injuries have been linked to football as, well as heart issues and other permanent heath problems.

He is the youngest player to ever make it on the cover of a Madden game. In the 2014-15 season, it only took him twelve receptions to reach 1000 yards. One of the reasons he is so good at catching a football with one hand is because he practices doing it before every game. Odell is the twelfth best ranked player in overall stats during this 2015 season. He has broken many of the New York Giants records for catches, touchdowns, and total yards. Still, he goes back and watches his old team play at LSU. He does this because he feels it’s the right thing to do and Louisiana State is in his

Michael Vick growing up was always very athletic. He was always the fastest and the best at most of the sports that he played. He went to high school for two years and played College Football at Virginia Tech, where as a freshman he placed third in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He left after his sophomore year to enter the NFL and was drafted first overall by the Falcons in the 2001 draft, the first African-American quarterback ever to be taken first overall.

Every person ever associated with football knows how the game is played. They know every rule, play, stat, and anything else that can be recorded. There was a certain one of these people, though, that stood out from the rest. This was a man by the name of Vince Lombardi. Most people generally know who Vince Lombardi was. They know him as the former, and most famous, coach of the Green Bay Packers back in the late fifties and early sixties. They also recognize him as the man the trophy awarded to the Super Bowl winner, the Lombardi Trophy, is named after. This is all common knowledge in the football world. Do any of these people know who Vince really was? Do they know what he did to the game of football? Do they know that he changed the

J.J. Watt is one of the best defensive ends in the National Football League (NFL). Watt was drafted into the NFL a few years ago and the moment he was I wanted to be able to play like him. He is not arrogant like several of the other professional players. Watt took the journey from high school, college, then to the NFL. He worked hard all throughout his career. Also after the fame and fortune he remained humble. J.J. Watt is definitely someone I would pursue to be like.

Vince Lombardi Vince Lombardi was a great man, many say. He exemplified that American ideal that greatness can only be achieved by hard work and discipline. However, Lombardi’s life was far from perfect. He did not begin his career as the head coach of the great Green Bay Packers of the 1960’s; hardly, as he began as a lowly assistant at a run down Catholic high school, just scraping by.

In my opinion Marshawn Lynch’s behavior with the media is unethical. I believe it is unethical and wrong because he signed a professional contract that states that he must speak to the media. Lynch should have never signed that contract because he is losing money. This is poor publicity for the Seattle Seahawks and the NFL. I took it as Lynch being rude and unprofessional when he finally decided to talk to the media but all the he said was “yeah” and “I am just here so I won’t get fined”. “It's required by the league because the media and the television networks pay a large portion of everyone's salary. It comes with the job (Rosenthal, 2014).” I do not see why he would even tried to mess with the media and television networks knowing that’s

Roethlisberger and Blauner had different views about the society. They regarded the society as a family, that is, everyone in the society acts as one person to build one thing or achieve a particular goal. People are entitled to different roles in the society. Additionally, they believed the society is made up of a set of institutions and systems(Roethlisberger 570). These perspectives being for other philosophers, Roethlisberger and Blauner, agreed with them. The two also believed that the society is pluralistic and conflictual. In the society, there are people from different groups in which they meet and know each other and, later on, they oppose decisions of their leaders and the people above them.
