A Brief History Of The Steelers Turning Their Season Around
This week, with the whole world seemingly convinced that the Steelers are a sinking ship, I’ve been thinking about seasons in which the team started in one direction (bad or good), and wound up somewhere very different.In so many of those years, the only thing we remember is the end result, as though the results were inevitable and obvious all year long. The 1972 Immaculate Reception Steelers feel like the beginning of a dynasty, but four games into the season, they were 2-2 and looked a lot like the previous season’s 6-8 squad. The 1995 Super Bowl team feels like a disappointment because they came so close to winning a Lombardi, but they were 3-4 heading into week 8, and were not even leading their division.

Trying to loving it, when it's Hurts
Football is back! While I am grateful, it’s also a reminder of the flaws in our perception of the sport. A sport that glorifies the fraternity of coaches and criticize the young men that judge got out of college for being immature. This weekend is a fresh reminder of the glorification and idolization afforded to coaches. Look no further than former college coach Urban Meyer. Meyer, who has always taken the easy way out, was looking very easy in his bar. A bar he decided was more important to visit than getting back to the team of young men he’s supposed to mold and grown men that depend on his success to pay the bills. How did he spend that time?

The Future Of Sports Games
You would think there was going to be some fancy turn around with the running play of how a professional sports game's plays or rules are in the near future. To put it simple, a lot of people like sports, but won't know every rule of the game. Some sports viewers will feel like their personal scoring play (more knowledge than their buddies) will depend on knowing every player's name and all of the player's stats. But they may not know how much a collector sports card is worth of top professional players. Is that something that can be important with the outcome of a player's future scoring?

Why Tom Brady Continues To Make People Mad!
Tom Brady has always been a polarizing figure since he has probably picked up a football. From high school to college Tom was never the most atheltic player on his team. In turn, this may have given his drive that he is so famous for these days. Along this ride it seems Tom has rubbed many players, coaches, and fans the wrong way, but he seems to take it in stride.

Football Movies Inspire Me Like No Other, and Here’s What They Can Do for You
Ever since I got deployed, I used football films as a way of finding forms of intense motivation. The films that come to mind are Friday Night Lights, The Blind Side, and When the Game Stands Tall.

Should Have Watched It With My Dad. Top Story - September 2021.
When I was incredibly young, I never understood why fathers watch sports. I have seen them in movies and on television shows. There is usually a father who is into sports. Of course, my dad (God bless his soul) had always been a huge fan of sports – especially football, boxing, and basketball. I am sure he watched other sports on television as well, but those were the three main sports I had always caught him watching.

NFL Week 2 Review
This was a week of unbelievable drama. I am referring of course to my Fantasy team. I had made a couple of changes to my winning team from week one. I had brought in Eli Mitchell from the 49ers as a running back, once I heard that because of injuries to others he was their primary running back. The way the 49ers scheme up running plays and block as a whole team, I would back myself to make a few yards playing running back for them, so I thought he would be a good one to add to the squad on a waiver for a few weeks at least. I thrust him straight into the starting line up as one of three running backs, along with Mixon and Edwards-Helaire. That meant dropping one of my wide receivers to the bench, I chose Woods from the Rams, who had been steady in week one but unspectacular. So my only receivers were Tyler Lockett and Sterling Shepard – who got my team off to a solid start by scoring seventeen and a half points in the Thursday night game against Washington. The other big call I made was swapping my quarterbacks over, bringing Herbert off the bench to start instead of Tannehill. That was partly because Herbert had been the more impressive of the two in week one, but also because he was playing Dallas at home, whilst Tannehill was travelling to Seattle.
