BRUTAL SUNDAY

This Sunday in the National Football League was a brutal one. There were so many hard hits that could have seriously injured some players. One of these hits was delivered by Dunta Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons on DeSean Jackson of the Philadelphia Eagles. This hit knocked both of the players out of their game on Sunday. Robinson launched himself head first into Jackson and caused one of the worst hits I have ever seen in football. Another man who is known for insane hits is James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He sidelined two of the Cleveland Browns player with head injuries after he leveled them in their game Sunday.

The National Football League is soon starting to suspend players for dangerous hits, because just fining these players is not getting the message through their heads.  Most of these players pay these fifteen thousand dollar fines like it is nothing and keep on doing what they’re doing the weekend after. That is why the NFL thinks the players will learn their lesson if they are suspended due to a violent hit. The NFL is just trying to protect its players and make sure they do not obtain any lifelong head injuries, or any other injuries. I know some people might disagree with this by saying that is what the NFL is all about, hard hits and nailing people, but if the NFL lets this get out of hand, there will be many more injuries throughout the league, and more and more people will stray away from the game. What are your thoughts and opinions?

Brett Favre's Historic Night in New York

Brett Favre is arguably one of the greatest quarter backs to ever play the game of football. But not only is he an amazing football player, he is also a class act. Brett Favre is probably the most respected player in the National Football League. Not only because he is one of the oldest players in the league, but also because he is one of the greatest players. Favre works harder than almost any other player in the NFL, and plays with such passion for the game every play he is in the game. Brett is always trying to make a play when the ball is in his hands, but this has also led to a lot of mistakes in his long and glorious career. Favre is the leader for most Interceptions thrown by a player and most fumbles by a player in NFL history. This is not a good record to have.

On another note, Monday night was a Historic night for Brett Favre in New York. Brett threw his 500^th touchdown pass of his career to none other than Randy Moss. It was the first TD pass between the duo, and it was a very historic one. Brett is the only player in NFL history to throw for more than 500 touchdown passes in a career. Brett also passed the milestone of throwing over 70,000 passing yards in his long and glorious career.  He also leads the league in consecutive games played, passing attempts, passing completions, and passing yards. Whenever Brett Favre decides to retire, he is a for sure a future Hall of Famer.

Michael Vick vs. Donovan McNabb

One of the biggest stories of the week in the National Football League is that Donovan McNabb is coming back to Philly to play the Eagles. This is a huge game for both teams, not only because the Eagles traded McNabb last year, but also because they traded him to a team in their division! That’s basically a slap in the face for McNabb. If a team trades you to a team that is in their own division that means that they do not believe you are good enough to beat there team in the future. So everyone knows that Donovan McNabb is going to come out to play on Sunday.

Also, this is a big game because Michael Vick is the new starter for the Philadelphia Eagles. McNabb is one of the main reasons that the Eagles ever required Michael Vick in the first place, and so far, it has paid off this year for the Eagles. Michael Vick is playing the best football of his life the past couple of weeks. He has thrown for a passer rating of over 100 in his first two starts as an Eagle, something he never did in all his years with the Falcons in Atlanta. He is also making a positive difference for his team, he trusts his teammates more than ever right now, and believes that they can make plays. Vick has also started to show more confidence in his arm rather than his legs.  The old Michael Vick would not stay in the pocket and wait for receivers to get open; he would rather run the ball because he didn’t have as much confidence in his arm as he did with his legs. Vick has definitely shown an improvement in this category and it has paid off for him.

Just be ready for a quarter back showdown in Philly on Sunday, because it’s going to be a good one. I cannot wait to watch it. Thank you to all who read my blog.
