The Blue Dolphins

Many of the Florida Indians by the time of the British arrival (1763) were trading for decades with the Spanish and its colonies to the immediate south. The Creek Nation was a loose confederation of disparate Southeastern tribes sharing a common language and matrilineal line. Many of the Creeks who did not share their nation’s policy of trade with the British colonies migrated to new lands in Florida. But despite the geopolitical separation into Spanish territory, many still identified themselves as Creek when the British took over Florida. Creeks negotiated treaties with the French, British, Spanish, and having their multi-ethnic population in their midst, including black Indians who spoke European languages and served as interpreters. There were yet no Seminoles in Florida, just their antecedents that at the time were recognized as Tallasees, Mikasukis, Tohopekaligas, among others, who lived throughout the peninsula. This included other tribes who were later then identified as separate tribes and eventually grouped as Creeks: the Apalachicolas, Cauetas, Yamasees, and Talapuses. While some Oconees in Florida identified themselves as “Simallone” (as a corruption of Seminole – missing “r” in Hitchiti tongue was substituted for an “l”), but the British and subsequently Spain and the United States would mistake all East Florida Indians as Seminole Creeks. The Spanish were still using the term “cimarron” in a very general sense.

The Miami Dolphins, a professional football team located in Miami, Florida, has been a part of the National Football League (NFL) since 1966. The organization is most notably known for the 1972 Miami Dolphins football team, led by Don Shula, who went undefeated a won the Super Bowl. This team was the first and, so far, only team to have a perfect season capped off with winning the championship game. From 1966 to 1970 the Miami Dolphins were perceived like they are today as a losing franchise that could not win. That was until Don Shula, helped make the Dolphins one of the best franchises in the national football league during his reign as head coach. The time period from 1970 to 1993 were the golden years of the organization 's history; during this time the Miami Dolphins won 13 AFC East Titles, 5 AFC Championships, 2 Super Bowls and in 1973 set the league record 74,961 season ticket sales. During this time period the team had star players Larry Csonka, Dan Marino, Bob Griese, and several others that helped to build and sustain the Dolphins legacy. Since 1993 the Miami Dolphins have been known for holding three fantastic super bowls in 1994, 2006, and 2009, all of which were great games that the Dolphins were not involved in. While in recent years the Miami Dolphins have gone back to the original roots of field losing teams, the organization has developed a marketing strategy to improve the financial situation of the organization and maintain fan support.

The Detroit Lions started the 2016/2017 season on September 11th, with a close win over the Indianapolis Colts. This game was a major back and forth battle that could 've easily been in favor of the Indianapolis Colts but instead went to the Detroit Lions with the score of 39 to 35. This game for sure was a great way to start the season for the Detroit Lions and also showed the potential that they have going into the season and because of that it raises many questions of how the Detroit Lions are going to do in the upcoming season. In this essay I will explore the claim that the author uses ethos, logos, and pathos to express to the audience that years after the great legend Barry Sanders (who played for the Detroit Lions from 1989 till 1998) the Detroit Lions may once again be a power house in the run game again. I argue the fact that it is a little too early to make a speculation like that about the season but only time will tell as the seasons continues.

The Chicago Bears have the greatest franchise in the NFL.They have the greatest player who has ever lived, and a coach to lead him to a super Bowl win.

Education always came after football.

The Dolphins are off to a rough start as they begin the season 0-3.

So far nothing consequential has been seen from Dana as they are yet to find the element that will take their team to victory.

Some say that the third time is the charm, and Isaiah Pead is proving it.

Lamar Hunt, the Kansas City Chiefs current owner Clark Hunt's dad, was elected to become the president of the AFL on the 26th of January 1960. Before the chiefs moved to Kansas City they played in Dallas as the Texans for three seasons that included 1 AFL Championship, but even though they had a great team, the Dallas market could not support two teams. So the Texans moved to Kansas City to become the Kansas City Chiefs in 1962!

Leading up to the preseason, the main story for the New England Patriots is how would Jimmy Garoppolo do in the preseason to get ready for the first 4 games of the season starting at quarterback.

On August 24th was the Miami Dolphins football game versus the Atlanta Falcons. Although it was a preseason game it was still important because, the week before we got beat by the Dallas Cowboys 41-21,and we didn't want that to happen again. So in practice they worked harder and harder Intel it was game day. When they got off the buses they meant business, they looked ready to go. Everyone sat down at there sets 5...4...3...2...1 the boom the ball was kicked soaring as high as the birds.

The epidemic of hypersensitivity in the United States is spreading like wildfire. From the riot issues in this country to choosing your own gender, people have become oversensitive. Human beings, especially in the USA it seems, will argue about anything, even if it doesn’t pertain to them. Although my topic may not be as serious as some of the previously listed issues, it is of the same context: a case of a highly sensitive society that will argue with anyone about anything.

This won’t be the most popular subject but here goes nothing… it’s time to trade Calvin Johnson. Before you start with the name calling and the bashing of my intellect, just hear me out and be open-minded for a second. Try to think unemotionally and recognize what is best for the future of the Detroit Lions. There are far too many reasons to ship out our future Hall-of-famer and not enough logical ones to keep him. Here are five explanations of why we should deal Megatron.

This took place after Rujen tried to integrate for such a long time with the Americans, which lead Rujen into such an empty life he could no longer take it. He finally snapped and realized that he is a Marshallese and should stop pretending to be something he is not. “Yokwe, he said, he drove the knife down. That was when blood came up from the mouth of the mermaid on Good Friday, 1981 “(Barclay 262). I think this is Rujen’s first sign that he has belief that there is still hope for the Marshallese. Rujen performed this act of killing the dolphin, because the Marshallese people believe that it is bad luck to not kill any dolphin that came into the lagoon. This is Rujen’s way of standing up for the traditions and culture he was brought up in. If Rujen did not perform this task, the Americans were going to make it a law that it was illegal to kill dolphins. The fact that Rujen got away with this task, gives all Marshallese people hope that their traditions can still be performed.

Some may ask, “What is a turning point in life?” A turning point is when life turns into a different direction. Turning points aren’t as easy as they sound. Most of the time, turning points are stressful times, but the result of the complex decision is what affects one’s thoughts and possibly the way he/she looks at his/her surroundings.
