The Game Of The Football

I remember it like it happened yesterday. It was a warm sunny day on October 27 2013, and we were driving to my sister Amy’s house in Kaukauna. We had to drop off a set of bunk beds at her house for my niece Mia. My dad, mom, my sister Anna, and I were all in one car, while my two brothers, Andrew and David, were in the Ford Ranger ahead of us. We were having fun in the car, talking, laughing and listening to music, until we came up on a yield sign. My brother Andrew proceeded through it first, when a black Envoy came speeding around the corner, too fast to slow down. When Andrew saw it coming he tried to swerve, but the car was going too fast, and it was too late. The car hit the truck,

Football, one of the biggest sports in the United States, makes a lot of money. Everyone in America watches football no matter if they are young, old, male or female. It brings people together and might even tear relationships apart. A lot of people watch football, but not everyone understands the rules. I am here to help people understand the game of football.

As I was picked up the bad thoughts started to run through my head again, this time it seem like it was worse. The closer we got to the hospital the more I became weak. I didn 't know what to expect to be honest. I tried to prepare myself for the worse. As we entered the hospital and went to the emergency room, I walked into a lobby full of family, as I walked in my brother got me up to date with what’s going on. So I sat there patiently with my family, we all waited with anticipation for the doctor to deliver the news. As hours passed we finally got to talk to a nurse. She told us that the doctor would be coming out soon to get us updated with what’s wrong with my dad. When he finally came out he told us that everything was going to be okay, but if my dad would have came two minutes later he would have died. Man oh man that hit us all hard. But he also told us

As I sit in the car on a breezy summer day with the windows down talking to my mom we were on our way to meet my dad because it was his weekend. When we arrived, I went into my dad’s car and started to play on my smart phone. I was so utterly bored on the way to his house until my dad got a phone call. I had no clue as to what was going on, my dad had a confused and panic stricken look on his face. He hung up the phone and calmly said “We have to go get grandma, Uncle Steve was in a bad accident.” I immediately texted my mom and told her what was happening. We got to my grandma’s house and took off to a hospital in Illinois. On the way to the hospital my dad received a phone call from my Aunt Sandy. I carefully watched his facial expressions as he talked, his face slowly turned bright red and I could see tears forming in his eyes. I knew that something horrible must have happened. I was so scared of what the news could be. My grandma looked at my dad and nervously asked “Doug what’s wrong? Your face is red and you have tears in your eyes.” Dad shook his head, “nothing ma, everything is fine,” his voice cracked as a tear rolled down his red face. Then I knew something terrible had happened.

One fall morning, when the sun has not come and there is still darkness, I arose from my slumber awaiting the big day I would have ahead. While I am getting ready for the game, by putting on my pads, I get ready to step out my house and get ready for an intense three hours. As I walk to the car, I can already sense the coaches hollering, and the parents just hoping that nothing would go wrong. Each road that we pass and the closer and closer that I get to the field the hollering and the screaming become louder, louder, louder, and louder. Until they stop, as I step on the field, I no longer hear the hollering and screaming. All I can hear are the coaches getting us ready for the game that would happen in fifteen

I just could not believe what happened. My night was going so good, then all of a sudden it turned into a nightmare. The entire ride home I just stared out the window at the pitch black sky. My dad and I never spoke a word the whole time. When we approached the place where I wrecked, I tensed up and closed my eyes. It made me sick to my stomach to see the truck upside down. The next thing I knew we were pulling into my driveway. When I got inside, I hugged my dad and told him I loved him and I was sorry for what happened. I then did what the nurse said and went in the shower. As I stood in the shower with the warm water hitting my face, the accident kept playing over and over in my head. With all of the glass and dirt washed out of my hair, I went to bed. It was beyond relaxing to lay in my bed. I layed there for a few moments,then slowly drifted to

The brutal sport of football is acknowledged as one of, if not the most popular sport in the United States. One can flip on the TV on any given fall Saturday or Sunday afternoon and be sure to see a game of football. So many people love the sport for its grit and brutality. Players suffer huge impacts on every play, most times causing them to fall over, awkwardly slamming into other players and the ground. But are all these repeated hits, often to the head, healthy? No.

One hot day, I was getting home from school, and I can’t even get in the house good when my mom starts yelling, “Is that you Jordan.” I said, “Yes, mom it’s me.” “Well come here I have some great news,” mom stated. I asked her, “What was it,” and she told me, “We have to waited until your dad gets here,” so we waited. My dad finally got home then she said, “We’re going to Atlanta.” We all smiled with delight and happiness. That night we started to pack, and then the next day we left at four that morning. I don’t know how many miles it took because as soon as I got in the car I was knocked out like a bear. I woke up when we got there, and then we ate. We ate at a crab place, and it was delicious, too. The Second thing on the list was to check

In the beginning, there was football. The official said, Let the stadium lights come on, and they came on. The football players came onto the field, and they saw the light was good. Other teams started to show up and practice on the battle ground, otherwise known as the "playing field." Fans shouted, and cheerleaders went on about their playful acts. Parents, brothers, sisters, and close friends all piled into the stands to see the game of the year. The official stepped out onto the moist grass at Williams Stadium in Plano, Texas. The time was seven o'clock p.m. on a Thursday night. He paused for a moment, looked at his stopwatch, and blew his whistle. Gigantic muscular men came from out of nowhere as the fans began

It all started on a cold, cloudy Friday after school. Everyone was ecstatic because it was the homecoming football game for the high school. Everyone was eagerly waiting to go home and get ready for the big game, but I, on the other hand, had to wait after the football practice because my dad was the coach.

I follow the clock to the crowd. Everyone is yelling but it seems so quiet, distant. I see her, Mary. She yelling, getting the crowd into it. (Focus) Back to the game. “Hike.” I run. I run pretty far. Pass thrown, the balls comes right to me. Touchdown. We are tied 14-14. “Extra point.” We set up for the field goal. And it’s in. We just won the game. Now it was time to celebrate the win. We went up to the local diner, like we always do after a win. I get a double cheeseburger with extra pickle, and a Raspberry Ripple milkshake. I go find an empty booth (well as empty as it can be with almost the whole football team there and more) I begin to eat when someone comes and sits across from me. Mary. She sits down and grabs a fry from my plate and takes a

Alabama is a state where hunting and fishing are big. It is also considered one of the most religious states in the U.S but there's nothing bigger in Alabama than football.

The game of Football is a very popular sport. This game can be played in a lot of different ways ranging from just throwing the football around to having a backyard tackle football game. It can be a very brutal, it doesn’t matter how you play. This game consists of players having the intent hit the other player. It’s just the name of the game. With these intents of hitting the other player or trying to hurt the other player comes great consequences. The consequences are known to be head injuries. In the last couple of years, the head injuries involved with this intense game play have been getting uncomfortably high. Many rules have had to be enforced for player safety, because of the increase of head injuries resulting in huge effects on

Ronaldinho once said “I learned all about life with a ball at my feet.” I honestly never knew what Ronaldinho meant by this since I first heard about the quote. Every time I played soccer or touched a ball, I tried figuring out what he truly meant. I would ask my mom, my uncles, my brother, my cousins, and my friends if they knew what it meant but few of them simply didn’t care or didn’t even care. I was so eager to find out what he truly meant.

Football is one of America’s most popular sports and has been for years. A vast number of people watch football every Saturday or Sunday to chant and root on their favorite home team. Out of all of the football fans across the world, about only half of them really know the true history of this beautiful game. Many sports today is just another part of someone’s daily life, it is easy to forget that just over 120 years ago, a majority of the sports that we take for granted were not even in existence. The history of the modern sports details is an evolution, from games being first played for entertainment to a business battling one another in power and size. Football, in particular, the National Football League, has been around for over one-hundred years having resulted in many changes for the sport on how it is played and perceived in the popular eye because of new and improved equipment, the introduction of the instant replay, the creation of the passing game, the no huddle offense, referees communicating through wireless devices, and through the efforts to increase player safety.
