SUPER BOWL HOAX

The super bowl a joyful time for family gatherings, rooting for your favorite team, and the amazing commercials. But the truth that the NFL has been hiding from us for years… the super bowl is fixed. Every year all the coaches get together in the preseason and decide who will win the super bowl. Drastic? Yes, yes it is but they are the ones who decide who’s going to walk home with a ring. Coach of the Steelers Mike Tomlin states “hey you got to make friends in this league.” Mike Tomlin was selected to win super bowl 43. One third of the super bowl decision is random the second third is voting and the third and most important is players. You can’t fake a good super bowl if a team with bad player’s wins that just doesn’t make sense so they decide which team has the best players which will help them get chosen for the super bowl. To add to the fact that the NFL picks the teams they also chose interceptions, touchdowns, turnovers, and even fourth down conversions. So yes if you are a Steelers fan the one hundred yard interception for a touchdown was planned well as far as we know. You see some times players improvise like the Steelers safety that was an accident but since the Steelers were chosen to win they pulled it out somehow. The fact that the Steelers have 6 super bowl rings is half luck and half skill considering that the NFL announced that they started planning super bowls in1995. The biggest news held a secret from American society until now.

Die Now or Later?

Killing people, Should it be legal? Now most of you reading this would immediately scream no, close the paper, and never read my articles again. But read farther and i assure you, you'll start to understand why i say yes. Yes killing people should be legal. Do you believe on euthanasia?Did Dr. Kevorkian have the right idea, maybe. When you say killing people you almost instinctively think "CRIME!" Who wouldnt? But what if the victims welcomed death, wanted it, awaited it. Some people think of putting there dogs down but when we do it to humans it is all wrong. Let me ask you if we cant do it to humans why do we do it to other living things?Think of it this way. You are Wealthy yet on your deathbed. You want all your money to go to your only son. Instead you use three quarters of it on the hospital who just to inform you your going to die anyway. Had euthanasia been an option you would have died obviously even though you were going to anyway and your son proceeds to have a nice wealthy life. opinion stated.

The Oldies

Back in the day many great players played the sport of football but two star running backs are famous for being purely amazing. Thurman Thomas played since 1988 to 2000. Thurman Thomas is the running back for the Buffalo Bills until 2000 where he played one year for Miami. Thurman Thomas is a 5 time pro bowler, has 4 consecutive superbowl apperances, made it to the football hall of fame class 2007, and won NFL MVP in 1991. Over his years of playing he has over 12,000 yards for rushing that led him to 65 touchdowns. He has 4458 yards recieving which has ;ead him to 23 touchdowns. Might I remind you he's a running back he was not meant to catch but he's all purpose. Over his whole career he's only had 50 fumbles! allot to some but remember hes played for 22 years. His fancy footwork has lead him to a great overall career. Barry Sanders has played from 1989 to 1998. His whole life he played for the Detroit Lions. Barry Sanders won the Heisman as a junior, he has NFC and NFL rushing titles, set 13 NCAA reccords, and was selected to play in the prowbowl 10 times (not in 1993 due to injury). Though he only played for ten years he had 15,269 rushing yards. As for recieving he only had 2921. Rushing touchdowns he had 99 and recieving touchdowns he had 10. Ove his years he has only had 41 fumbles. All in all Barry Sanders is a flat out ridiculous running back. Now we compare todays running backs quickly sneaking up behind our old friends records. LaDainian Tomlinson has after 7 years of playing 11,336 rushing yards and 3669 recieving yards. he already has 120 rushing touchdowns and 15 reciving. He's quickly catching up to our old stars.

Its a B-O-U-N-T-Y

It’s like getting paid to ruin someone’s life. A bounty in football is getting paid besides your regular paycheck to injure someone and get them out of the game. Edward Suggs is a Ravens Linebacker. Coach told him to hit them hard but he can’t spell the word bounty let alone know what it means. So when asked in an interview did you have a bounty on that young man (Rashard Mendenhall) Terrell replies "definetly we just didnt get him between the whistles" (the hit was on Hines Ward too). See in football the point is to hit someone hard so they think twice about running that route again. Yes coach told them to hit them "hard" but the word bounty was used loosely in the brain of Terrell Suggs. Yes Rashard was hit hard and is out for the season with a shoulder injury. Later Suggs speaks of the fact that his team don’t pay each other to get a player out and the coaches sure don’t but yes they do want to hit the big players hard. The point is Bounties are illegal in the NFL, and are a serious matter hopefully Terrell will think twice before he says something he doesn’t quite understand.

Injuries

Injuries are just something you accept when you play football but exactley what kind of injuries are you accepting? Willie Parker is injured with a strained left knee and will not return until week 7. After an injury Rashard Mendenhall the second string Half Back was put into the game. Only halfway into the Game He was struck HARD and that hit put him on the bench with a fractured left shoulder putting him on injured reserve. Brian Westbrook, Westbrook started with a normal ankle injurie due to a hit by the steelers rough and tough defense. But later in the season against the Redskins, Westbrook was hit so hard that he fractured two ribs and with the Eagles Week 7 bye they'll probably leave him out for two weeks and possibly a gametime desicion on week 8. Carson Palmer QB for the Cincinnati Bengals is hurting with a right elbow injury but played on sundays game against the cowboys and suprisingly made out with 23 out of 39 passes with a total of 217 reception yards. Anquan Boldin Wide Reciever for the cardinals is out with a head injury or *Fractured Sinus Membrane* And is getting a couple stiches on his lips the amazing part though is how he was knocked UNCONSCIOUS on the feild and undergoed a small surgery. Last but not least Gus Frerotte got two stiches on his non throwing hand and simply said himself "I think one of those hard-plastic things cut open a blood vessel in my hand,"But he's back to his normal self once again saying himself "its good, its fine" and throwing 19 passes for 222 yards. Thats whats up in the sports world

Monday Night

Possily the game of the century. Yes it is only the beginning of the season yet monday night football is getting more and more amazing. Focusing on monday night 9-15-08. Eagle's VS. Cowboys. The Eagle's started out with the ball. The team charged up the feild yard after yard easily but when they reached the redzone a fumble occured. What was supposed to be a simple screen was caught and with two step progress dropped it. It was tapped by an eagle's player hit it into the hands of a the cowboys defense who tipped the ball with his fingers and diving in for a touchdown with the ball is the eagle's offense. After all of that the referee called him down when he dropped the ball so the eagles had to settle for a measly three points for a feild goal. After that Tony Romo threw a 72 yard pass to Terrel Owens for a touchdown and Felix Jones returns a 98 yard kickoff for a touchdown. also the eagles score another feild goal the score at the end of the first quarter is 6-14. In the second quarter Westbrook gets a short 6 yard pass for a touchdown and Chris Gocong of the Eagles recovers a fumble in the end zone. Then Terell Owens gets a short pass for a touchdown and by the end of the second quarter the score was 30-24 it was starting to look up for the Eagles. In the third quarter Marion Barber gets a 17 yard touchdown pass. Putting the score at 30-31 Cowboys. Just at the beggining of the fourth quarter the eagles get a touchdown and the cowboys get a feild goal putting the score at 37-34 eagles. But with just 4 minutes on the clock Marion Barber runs in a one yard touchdown for the cowboys putting the final score at 37-41 a loss for our highflying eagles
