    Will the real “America’s Team” please stand up? This term is widely used throughout the media when referring to the Dallas Cowboys. “America’s Team” was first coined some 40 years ago while introducing them for a feature film by the legendary sport writer Bob Ryan. In the following years, because of their success and mass media exposure they were a team that America as a nation could identify with ,so the name stuck. The Cowboys since those days has regressed into a very mediocre team who only looks for moral instead of actual Super Bowl victories. Their owner’s thirst for television coverage and eternal relevance has given him the nickname “The Ringmaster.” Enter New England Patriots. The team adorned in red, white and blue whose name signifies the revolutionary

    1449 Words  | 3 Pages

    For as long as I can remember I have been a Notre Dame football fan. My father is to credit for getting me into it. He brought us to South Bend a couple of time for some games and I was just amazed by the campus and the history of the football program, so it was no surprise that I chose this particular book. Shake Down The Thunder: The Creation of Notre Dame Football was written by a man named Murray Sperber who was a sports writer interested on why fans were so into college football. Because of his interest Sperber decided to go around the country to certain college campuses to do research on this. He started with the University of Notre Dame because he was aware of the history and the passion of their football program, he was also aware of the appreciation Notre Dame had from their fans. This book deals with they history of Notre Dame football including the nation championships, the players, the coaches, and the program itself. It explains exactly what happened thought out its history, the reality behind the myths so to speak. Notre Dame was very kind to Murray Sperber in that he was given many privileges that other authors of books regarding Notre Dame football were deprived of. These privileges allowed Sperber to do research on Notre Dame from a different point of view and in his research he found documents that jumpstarted his interest to actually write this fantastic book.

  • Joe Paterno: He Is Penn State

    1998 Words  | 4 Pages

    The college football world has gone mad. Conferences are doing battle in courtrooms instead of on the football field. Teams are leaving their conferences and throwing tradition and loyalty out the window for a bigger paycheck. The Bowl Championship Series was supposed to end the confusion in the college football post season. It was supposed to crown a true champion. Instead, the B.C.S. has only brought more light to the fact that in college football it is all about money and TV contracts. Teams that have no right going to a major bowl game go because of who they are and, more importantly, who their fans are and how much money the fans are will to spend. Players are failing classes, stealing, doing drugs, breaking almost every law imaginable, and they are still suiting up to play on Saturday. In this new age of college football, there is a man who is as old school as having goal posts right on the goal line. He is short in stature, but he is larger than life. He has given millions of dollars back to his university, and he has put his heart and his soul into molding young me. Joe Paterno has become an icon of college football. In these modern times, however, his morals and his coaching style seem outdated. Now, in the twilight of his career, he has to battle a grueling Big Ten schedule, the media who made him a legend and who are now looking to make him into a fool, and even his once loyal fans who have turned their backs on him. Joe Paterno has his back against the wall; it seems everything is working against him. He could walk away now and forever be remembered as a great football coach, or he can keep running out of that tunnel and work on putting Penn State football back on the map. He can take back the title that is rightfully his, the greatest college football coach of all time. Joe Paterno should remain in charge of the Penn State football program. Along the way, he deserves every Penn State fans support, win or lose.

  • Dysfunction in the NFL

    537 Words  | 2 Pages

    The NFL (National Football League) is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America and although it has been very successful to this point, in many ways it is the epitome of dysfunction. The league faces a multitude of problems, many of which are very complex. Many argue that since been chosen to succeed the retiring Paul Tagliabue in 2006 Roger Goodell has worked primarily towards improving the NFL for the sake of the players, coaches, refs, and perhaps most importantly the fans who actually make the organization viable. Sadly, those who hold this idealized view are delusional and should take into account that NFL is an unincorporated nonprofit association and that Goodell’s number-one priority always has to be appeasing the owners who fund each of the 32 teams (bar the Green Bay Packers who own the rare distinction of being the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional team in the entire country). This makes addressing problems very difficult and many have been unsolved ...

  • The Southern Methodist University Football Program

    2046 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Southern Methodist University football scandal, also known as Ponygate, was one of the most severe consequences that the NCAA has ever given out to a college or university. In this instance, the Southern Methodist University football program was found to be illegally paying their players after already being in trouble with the NCAA several times. The first time this football program had been caught by the NCAA for not following its rules was in 1985. This was when an incident regarding offensive lineman Sean Stopperich came up. Prior to transferring schools after going through an injury which made him unable to play, he was paid $5,000 by one of the Southern Methodist Universities booster programs to attend the school and play football there. This caused “the NCAA to place SMU on three years of probation in 1985, limit its postseason appearances, ban the boosters involved and strip the football program of 45 scholarships.” This did not show the program or the school a lesson though. Again in 1986 the Southern Methodist University football program was found breaking NCAA rules. This was their seventh time they had broken and been caught breaking NCAA rules. This time it was found that, “an unnamed booster had been found to have paid 13 Mustang players $61,000 from a slush fund with the approval of key members of the SMU athletic staff.” The result of this complication with NCAA rules is what became known as the, “death penalty”. This death penalty declared that there were to be, “no football in '87. only seven games in '88. no television or bowl appearances until 1989 and restrictions on off-campus recruiting and the number of assistant coaches until 1989 SMU which signed no high school players to letters of intent this winter...

    Gilman lost the game but won much more than just a football game. The coaches were put in a place where they were challenged by the Holy Prep’s head coach’s words and actions. After the game he yelled at his players demanding them not to shake their opponents hands. His players didn’t listen and showed tremendous sportsmanship in the face adversity. Mangerio, the head coach yelled at his players so much that it was described one time as “maximum verbal assault against boys still in the game” (p. 119). The respect that even the new headmaster from Gilman showed to the coach trying to calm him down only to be cussed out in front of the coaches and players. This coach displayed everything that Gilman was against like the poor sportsmanship, the verbal abuse on

  • Essay On Pat Tillman

    991 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout his life Pat strived to be his best every, single day of his life. At the beginning of Pat’s athletic career he was often told, “You’re not good enough,” or, “ Pat, you’re just too small to be good.” From those days on everything Pat did had a purpose, he wanted everybody to be proven wrong. After graduating high school Pat went on to Arizona State University to play football. When Pat first arrived he was deemed a bench warmer. His coaches tried to convince him to redshirt so that he could get more playing time, Pat was not persuaded. He told his coaches, “ I’m outta here in 4 years, I’ll do whatever I am able to to get on that field, but redshirting isn’t my plan.” Within that same year Pat was a starting linebacker for the sundevils and by the end of his career at ASU, broke the school’s tackle record. As Pat was deciding what to do with his life when Arizona came knocking. During the NFL draft Pat was chosen during the 7th round by Arizona. Pat knew that Arizona picked him with the intention of not very much playing time but Pat had a different idea. He went up to the Arizona head coach and told him he would be their starting safety by the end of the year, just you watch. On opening day Pat Tillman was announced as the starting safety for the Arizona

  • From Football Manager to Spectator: A New Perspective

    2199 Words  | 5 Pages

    All four years of high school I worked behind the scenes on and off the football field. From handing out jerseys and pants, measuring boys constantly for belts, adjusting helmets, patching minor cuts, along with trying to keep our ever so famous title we created as “H20 Technicians” by meeting all of the teams hydrating needs. So, from this angle I saw and heard everything. Even the things boys would not typically share with girls. That is one of the many “perks” of being one of four football managers. When I graduated high school and came back to Putnam County for my first Cougar football game since last season, I realized I had never actually watched a football game. Therefore, I decided to watch the game from a fans point of view. A much more muted version of the game. Watching the game as fan was like holding season tickets with sideline seats for the last four years and on the fifth year watching all the games on a dingy old black and white TV.

  • Essay On Pat Tillman

    Pat Tillman was known for his determination, strong work ethic, selflessness, loyalty, and modesty, but the one quality that stood out the most was his loyalty. Tillman confirmed this quality when he choose to stay with Arizona State. That is obvious when he didn’t accept the Rams offer of $9 million. He put his foot down on staying with Arizona State. Tillman’s reason on staying with Arizona State was because he has been with them for a long time, and they believed in him. Arizona State was like a family to Tillman. He told his coach, “You guys believed in me when no one else did, so me leaving would be
