Drew Brees

It’s been hard to ignore the mixing of sports and politics lately. Some football players have been kneeling during the National Anthem instead of showing respect for the men and women in our armed forces. Although they’re trying to send a message to people all over the country, I think they are going about it all the wrong way. Football players should stand for the National Anthem no matter what. To begin, not standing for the National Anthem is an ineffective and counterproductive way to promote

seasons, it was a pleasant surprise to see both teams lead the NFC South to the distinction of the NFL’s toughest division this year. While Matt Ryan owned the quarterback headlines within the division during his MVP campaign tear a season ago, Drew Brees stepped back into the forefront as the class of the NFC South signal callers with an outstanding 2017

As the red, white and blue flag waves in the breeze and the prominent two-and-a-half-minute song is sung, what runs through your mind? For many people its pride and honor. It’s the thought of many families who lost loved ones fighting for freedom. The same freedom that allowed us to be on that big field or stadium on which we’re listening to the song. Next time you are in a stadium, look around and take notice of who sits and who stands during the national anthem. Imagine to see one of the highly

Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have become household names in the past decade or so, and for good reason. Both of these quarterbacks have shown game in and game out that they are among the best to ever play. Anyone that knows the slightest bit about American football will know exactly what someone means when they talk about these two in the Hall of Fame discussion. So what makes these two quarterbacks different? Well, there is not much. Throughout their storied careers, they have had to overcome hardships

being named the GOAT, or great of all time, is surely not one to be taken lightly by any means whatsoever. After all, this is the title any quarterback in history has ever labored their entire life for just the chance to claim. While Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Joe Montana are all pretty high on the totem pole, a totem pole that stands colossal and robust, only one Quarterback can truly be named the GOAT. The only Quarterback who truly possesses the firepower to claim this title is none other than

The football season is here and that means so is fantasy football. Here are the players who should start, sit and are risks, but can make an enormous impact in any given game. The first game of the NFL season is the Kansas City Chiefs versus the New England Patriots. Tom Brady is clearly the obvious choice to start at home, the future Hall of Famer is coming off one of the league's most historic postseason performance that has ever been seen. The Chiefs defense/special teams’ unit should be

to pay their respects to all the men who have died in the military. When NFL players choose to kneel during the anthem, it appears to the public as though the players are not grateful for the sacrifices the members of the military made for them. Drew Brees said, “It's an oxymoron that you're sitting down, disrespecting that flag that has given you the freedom to speak out." Instead of creating a conversation about issues players are trying to protest, they are creating anger and division between

Argumentative Paper Professional athletes get paid tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars every day while some people get athletes daily payment in a whole year and most likely work harder than athletes to get it. Athletes are overpaid because most people go to college, have long hours and work harder to get their money, whereas athletes don’t have to go to college, don’t have long days, and don’t work as hard to get the money they have. What I’m trying to tell you is that there is a really big

and needed room to address needs. They got Max Unger, a Pro Bowl center in return from Seattle to improve the interior of the O-line and selected rookie standout left tackle Andrus Peat with their first round pick in hopes to improve quarterback Drew Brees’ blind side. The needed cap space was primarily used for Loomis to address the Saints’ defense that’s been putrid, adding physical CB Brandon Browner, DT Kevin Williams, OLB Anthony Spencer and LB Danelle Ellerbe. Loomis made other trades and cut
