Personal Narrative: Big Ten Football

622 Words3 Pages

I can not remember a year where I was as excited for the Vikings season and then this goes and happens. Twenty minutes into practice on Tuesday Teddy Bridgewater took a snap from under center and as he was dropping back to pass he screamed in agony and went down. He suffered some sort of non contact knee injury. Everybody in the building could tell how serious the injury was by the reaction of the players, some cursed, some threw helmets, and some even prayed.

This name might sound familiar if you watch Big Ten football at all, Joel Stave spent the past four years in Madison, Wisconsin playing football for the Badgers. If being his first year, Stave’s game leaves alot to be desired. Throwing him into the fire like this could only result in disaster. So if neither of the two quarterbacks on the roster is an attractive pick for the starting job in Minnesota, is there any QB available that isn’t on their roster? There have already been rumblings about Mark Sanchez or Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick recently protested in the name of the Black Lives Matter movement during the national anthem by refusing to stand. Many people were upset by this, not the protest, but the time and place of the protest being during our national anthem. In light of this whole issue Kaepernick is now without a team. If the Vikings were to sign Kaepernick it would make for awkward huddle with former teammate in San Fransisco Alex Boone. Boone, now a member of the Vikings, was very outspoken about Kaepernick’s decision to refuse to stand during the national anthem, saying that he probably would have had a problem with him on the sideline. Due to this hostility and all the bad publicity around his name right now, I don’t think Speilman will go in that

    It would best for the Lions organization to draft a defensive tackle to show up the middle of the defense. Louisville's DT Sheldon Rankins would be a good fit if the Lions get snag him in the draft. The 6'1 Rankins who weighs in at 299 pounds impressed at the combine with his 5.03 40-yard dash and a 34.5 vertical jump. The Lions have already shown interest in Rankins, he would fit nicely in their system. There are a few other holes such as wide receiver and cornerback perhaps, but filling the above positions will get the Detroit Lions over the hump and back into contention.

It was reported that Vick paid over 111,000 dollars to the public relations firm Sitrick and Company in 2009 (Shor-Parks, 2013). Part of the PR plan for Vick was putting him through intense media training as well as knowing when to shut up (Shor-Parks, 2013). In a great PR move, Vick became spokesperson for the Humane Society and gave speeches supporting animal rights.

    This is one Thanksgiving the Dallas Cowboys would rather soon forget. The team saw their miniscule playoff hopes extinguished completely after a 33-17 shellacking from the undefeated Carolina Panthers put their record at a disappointing 3-8. What 's even worse is the fact that the team will have to trudge through the remainder of their season without starting quarterback Tony Romo, who reinjured his left collarbone that forced him to miss seven straight contests earlier this season. The season ending play occurred at the end of the third quarter, when Romo was sacked by Panthers Linebacker Thomas Davis.
