Personal Narrative: My Last Week In High School

726 Words2 Pages

Welcome to Week 3! If you’re reading this you must have survived last week and are trying to decide which team to take now. Last week was a close one if you listened to me. I don’t want to count the amount of years that were taken off of my life when the Browns went up 14-0 and then 20-2. Luckily, Joe Flacco did what Joe Flacco does and just kept throwing the ball and somehow found a way to win. It just wasn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be. So suffice it to say I’ve learned my lesson and staying away from picking against the Browns for right now.

This is one of those weeks where I like two games on the board. I’m always pretty leery of those weeks because I’m always afraid that one is going to lose and I should have kept it simple.

Pick of the Week (1 of 2): Carolina Panthers over the Minnesota Vikings

This was the matchup that jumped off of the page at me. Now of course, I started looking at Week …show more content…

And if you weren’t reading along last year: Good.

While Jameis Winston has only thrown for 524 yards thus far this season, he is one of a handful of quarterbacks who have thrown for five touchdowns. It’s a six-way tie for second most in the league, which is pretty good company that includes Drew Brees and Andrew Luck. On paper, the Bucs' defense are listed as giving up 32 points per game, but the loss last week to the Arizona Cardinals is throwing off the average. I would optimistically call that an outlier and it was the Cardinals.

Even if it was an accurate assessment of the Bucs' defense, the Rams have yet to find the end zone this season. Sometimes you have to pick one of the matchups against the mediocre to lower-tier teams. It’s strategy you see. So if you used Carolina last week, I would recommend the Bucs this week.

Look the Other Way: Cleveland Browns at Miami

    Ironically, the Cleveland Browns of the NFL who were a playoff caliber team every year, who had loyal fans and good attendance, lost their team to the city of Baltimore. Owner Art Modell moved his Cleveland Browns team to the city of Baltimore, with the promise of a cost free state of the art stadium, built by tax payers, and a larger market for their team to play in. The city of Baltimore welcomed the team wholeheartedly, after going through the same loss of a team, the Colts. The team is know called the Baltimore Ravens and play in a beautiful stadium complex in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. They have great fan support and Baltimore is once again a football town. The city of Cleveland on the other hand has been in shock after losing a team they loved and supported and are not very fond of Art Modell. The city of Cleveland will once again become a football town, with the expansion Cleveland Browns preparing for their inaugural season, beginning in the fall 1999. The city is once again very excited about the NFL and the “Dog Pound” will live again.

    I remember growing up a Bucs fan and my father a die-hard and the most loyal Vikings fan on this planet. The Bucs and the Vikings would square off head to head every year from 1977 to 2001 as division rivals all though the Vikings played the Bucs in 2002, the first season the two teams played each other as nondivision rivals. The two teams have met and the Bucs have won 4 out of 5 of those meetings, the Vikings won the last time they visited Raymond James Stadium in 2014 and I think anyone could have easily beat Tampa Bay that season with their third team players starting the game.

  • Dak Prescott Essay

    816 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Rams already have a pretty stacked offensive rushing player in Todd Gurley and solid receiving corps with players like Tavon Austin and rookie Pharoh Cooper, but their quarterback position has been shaky the last couple of seasons and the three players eyeing for the position this year haven’t been too bad this preseason. Case Keenum is most likely going to start, unless he is injured or either Jared Goff or Sean Mannion just do something amazing in the last preseason game. That begs the question, what will Goff’s role be as the number one overall pick. He will most likely turn into the #3 QB and won’t make any starts this season, unless Keenum comes down with an injury. Even though Prescott will get the opportunity to start for the Cowboys, Goff will be in a better position because he isn’t on a team that will most likely finish last in their division. The Rams might be in the division with the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, and San Francisco 49ers, but they have a team that looks good enough to beat out at least two of these teams this upcoming year. If the quarterback position, whoever it may be, can stay solid, the Rams have a great opportunity to even make the playoffs. Jared Goff will be able to learn a lot quicker when his team is winning games instead of losing them, but this doesn’t mean that Prescott won’t be a great

    Have you ever been nervous and excited for something at the same time? That is how I felt during my last year of high school leading all the way up to graduation.

Graduation day was that epiphany for me that I really had no idea what I was going to do with my life even though I was accepted to LSU and declared a major in Computer Science.

The running back was too quick for me to do anything, and it didn’t help that he mostly ran to the opposite side of the field. Although the score was still gridlocked at 0-0, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated at the outcome so far.
