Personal Narrative: Big Ten Football

The Green Bay Packers traveled to Gillette Stadium tonight to face the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. The Patriots came into the game trying to forget about their off-season stemming from the “Deflategate” scandal. Tonight, we got to see just how the Patriots offense would look for the first four games potentially without their field general, Tom Brady. Brady is looking at a potential four-game suspension unless the court decides to reverse the league’s decision. Both teams’ first strings played the entire first quarter, however, the Packers saw the bulk of the action.

“ Pretty soon guys are going to decide their lives are more important than playing in the NFL” (Borland).The danger that goes with the game is extremely risky but it's also here for entertainment so trying the balance out the two is fairly difficult. This shows that reduce an injury and still have it entertaining can really equal out and still make football very enjoyable to watch and play. “The NFL is committed to protecting its players from unnecessary risk, while keeping the game fair, competitive and exciting” (NFL.com). All things considered, making the health and safety to the players is priority, the game of football will still be exceedingly enjoyable. Professional football players health and safety is pirate ties with new NFL rules being implicated.

Traumatic brain injuries sustained in the National Football League has risen steadily since the first game was played. The public, as well as players, have been inadequately informed of the severity of concussions resulting from severe head trauma. Players have been sent back into play with life threatening injuries that may be invisible immediately but detrimental when observed long term. The National Football League has covered the concussion issue due to the lack of publicly the sport receives when role players are out with a concussion or another injury. Concussions and traumatic brain related injuries have become a costly problem in the National Football League (NFL), and most instances are mistreated and covered up.

The system prefers a mobile quarterback, since that 's when it works best, such as when Robert Griffin III was at quarterback, Bryce Petty was underrated for his ability to run with the ball, he got what

It is not clear who the coach is going to designated at the QB position, but whomever it is is going to be starting the season with no prior experience in the NCAA and a stable of receivers who have yet to show the ability to come up with the big play.

Many athletes are injured every year. These injuries sometimes are career ending and ruin dreams of great players. In football alone there are nearly 15 concussions a season. This could cause major problems in the future for these athletes. After, the first concussion you could die if you get hit again.

The First Quarterback, Robert Griffin III won the Heisman at Baylor, and was picked second in the 2012 NFL draft. His playing style is completely different. He is considered a dual threat quarterback, not only can he pass the ball well but he can also run the ball when it’s needed. However, the biggest issue is him being highly injury prone.

This former two-star recruit burst on the national spotlight leading the Wildcats to an appearance in the Fiesta Bowl in 2014. That year, Wright won the Chuck Bednarik, Vince Lombardi and Bronko Nagurski awards along with the PAC-12 Defensive Player of the Year. He was also a consensus All-American. Scooby’s season should go down as one of the best in the history of college football for a

Players around the league even have their own fantasy leagues with other players in the NFL. In “October of 2009, Matt Hasselbeck faced a fantasy football dilemma: who to start at quarterback?”(Jensen). Hasselbeck had drafted himself but he also had Brett Favre the quarterback who played for the Minnesota Vikings. Matt decided to start Favre, however Hasselbeck ended up having a great game as for Favre we could say he disappointed his fellow quarterback and fantasy owner.

Adrenaline pulsing through my body and anxiety filling up in my stomach, I quickly throw on my football gear and head out to the practice field. It’s a nice hot day in Ocala, Florida, with the sun beating down on our necks, we stand side by side in line waiting to be picked to play second, third, or fourth string in a play. Waiting in anticipation, each of us grinding our teeth, watching first string pure athletes colliding against each other like gladiators to have possession of a ball made at one-time of “pig’s skin”. To some people, the game of American football makes no sense, whether it’s the idea of trying to protect a ball or running and passing it to make a goal for your team. People like this, see the concept of football and understand why millions of people love it; but to them the sport is pointless and causes way too many casualties. Coming from the most us who love the sport, it’s not the worry of getting hurt that you mainly

These types of tragic occurrences are what make parents reluctant to sign their children up for tackle football when they get to middle school. One could imagine what could happen if they were talented enough to make it to the professional ranks. NFL players that were selected in the first round of the NFL draft have an average career length of 9.3 years and players to make at least one pro bowl appearance had an average career span of 11.7 years. The number of blows to the head would be staggering over the span of that

Whether it be a classic rivalry or a sensational divisional matchup, people across America enjoy football. However, most viewers do not examine the safety of the players providing entertainment.

The brain does not only get injured during concussions. Minnesota says that any given professional player can receive up to 1500 blows to the head each season.
