I played in junior high and high school. I was pretty good. When I was a senior I played nose guard on D and guard on offense. On defense, I'd destroy any attempt to run at me and teams usually ran outside after that. Offensively, I shut down every big-time defensive tackle I faced during the year. I was 6'2, 220 pounds, so I was actually a lot smaller than many of the guys I played against. I still kicked most of their asses. A good buddy of mine was a monster lineman for an opposing team. We always had good battles.
Unfortunately, my teammates sucked...so yeah. Received several awards and consistent praise from opposing players and coaches, but not winning sucked.

Even with McNabb, the Vikes are looking at 4th in the division.Your homerism is hilarious. The team isn't that bad...

While it's not good to openly admit you have no confidence in your young quarterbacks, it's good to see that he just wants to win. Kudos to Shank.

I'd love to see him released and then restructure his contract to a fitting bill for a closer, which he would return to. He would be his old monster again. He can't handle the load. It's been clear for ages.

yeah, Durant. He wins. Mountains > Texas.
It's fucking Bozeman.

I am in my fourth year at the University of North Dakota. Our hockey team is better than yours.
I'm majoring in English with an emphasis on Creative Writing. I'm one of the better undergraduate creative writers at this University. I hope to pursue writing as I start farming this spring. It'd be the perfect life for me. I'd be doing the kind of work I love during the summer, writing minimally, and when stuff slows down during the winter, I could concentrate on writing. I love life.

I think McNabb's done, but this would more than likely put them comfortably in second in the division with the possibility of challenging for the title.

The Thunder match up with everyone now that they have Perk. They will make some noise this year. Expect a trip to the WCF.

Yeah, who knows what his issues are? He's got some talent, and potential, so I'm intrigued by what he could be in the NFL, but who knows if he'll see a football field again?

My god, my life is complete. This prankster is a genius.

I like it; I think it's well written--but I'm not sure it's intriguing enough to open up a story. No offense, but if I opened a book in the store and read the first few paragraphs about the harvest season, I'd be turned off.
Understandable. I'm possibly going to put this near the end of the story. I'm going to try a structure I've pulled off once before. The end of the story first, then the beginning. It's an interesting format.

Why does it seem that Dallas is going to pass on Prince? I do not understand this.

Here's the intro to my new fiction piece. I have no idea if it will remain the intro though. I should be able to play around with the structure of this piece. Please comment. It's short.
The Last Cowboy
If the rain would end, so could Jake’s harvest season.
But it wouldn’t. Over and over again, water would appear between his pinto bean rows. Over and over again, the river would rise and ravage the line fences of his pasture, where his cattle needed a month more to graze. The rain had also prevented him from hauling all his bales. They sat in highway ditches, alfalfa fields, and on the stubble of the wheat he’d managed to thrash. The workload piled up as water pooled up.
At the moment, Jake was fixing his chisel-plow. Each shank had to be rotated so he’d be able to tear up all the wheat stubble when the fields dried up. Arlen, his hired man, had put new shanks on three weeks ago. Each shank required two bolts and two nuts and Arlen had used bolts that were too long. Threads stuck out a half and inch past the nut and the rocky groud had stripped the threads on nearly every bolt. Jake had to use a hacksaw to remove nearly every bolt, turning a half hour job into three grueling hours. He was angry.
The rain didn’t help. The day had brought scattered showers, but the sky remained grey throughout. The sun had become an illusion.

Says the guy who's going to be our third string TE and probably traded or cut.

It's way different from basketball or soccer players shooting one at a time. His teammates don't pass him the damn bat or throw the ball to him. Crimony.
-
Excuse me? It's baseball, hands down. Why? Because each player has his own zone on defense. It's not like basketball, where you can help your lesser defenders. Each of these guys has to have the individual talent to control their area. Plus, a good pitcher is sometimes all you need to become a legitimate contender (didn't any of you watch the Rangers last year?)
Offensively, it's only one player at a time coming up to bat. It's not like it's a collective attack, like basketball. Baseball requires individual talent more than any other sport. By a great margin.

See, this is the real problem with our tax system. It's not that the wealthy get taxed more than everybody else, as the Republicans claim. It's that the middle class, who is doing all the work, pays the good majority of the taxes. We don't need to take care of the wealthy because we already are. It's time we restructured our tax system so that it actually does tax the wealthy the most. They can take the damn hit.

In other news, NFL teams often pursue positions of need.
Well, except the Bills, who drafted an RB in the first round when they were already stacked at the position.
-
Pros:
1. Believable characters. Most get far too into the game to realize when they make mistakes. Few act like Richards, so only one player accepting his penalty was very realistic.
2. Good dialogue.
3. Tremendous diction. The variety of words is very interesting. Sports heighten the emotions. Emotions are very complex, so the descriptive language works well.
4. The penalty box is a character. I love that
5. You avoided using hockey jargon. When students try to write sports stories, they often use terminology that many readers won't understand.
Cons:
1. The sentences get too long, at times. Separate some of the thoughts into two sentences.
2. Hockey takes a physical toll and these guys have to sit down and feel their bumps and bruises. Describe some pain for each character.
Overall, a very good read and much better than most of what I have to suffer through in my own fiction class. This should workshop well.

DeSean Jackson thinks DeSean Jackson is the best WR/PR in the NFL
in NFC
Posted · Edited by BwareDWare94
When Terence Newman is healthy, he can stick with DeSean Jackson fairly easily. All we gotta do is give a little safety help here and there and Jackson does nothing. Terence Newman is hard-pressed to break into the top 15 corners in the league, though he is damn good. That's not the kind of cornerback it should take to shut down a big name receiver, like DeSean Jackson claims to be. DeSean gets him sometimes, but that's when Terence isn't 100% like all of last season.
