I feel like the Pro Bowl is just
one big publicity stunt. I hate the Pro Bowl. It’s just a glorified recess for
every pro football athlete in the country. It’s just a big pay raise for every
athlete in the country. These games are just not fun to watch anymore. I could
tell from the beginning to be going to win. I could tell it was Team Irvin that
was going to win. It’s just one team beating up on the other team. With Team
Rice having 27 first downs, there’s no reason they aren’t winning. Looking at
the rushing yards for each team is about Team Rice with 61 and Team Irvin with
76 yards. I mean I remember having those stats in middle school. I find this
game tonight so pathetic. It was a waste of time to watch it. Again Team Rice
with an offense efficiency of 9-12 and Team Irvin with 5-7, those are middle
school stats again. I find this the worst game of the year. Both of the teams
running backs each had about 7 first downs rushing. And that’s just flat out
terrible. Probably the worst Pro Bowl
game I’ve ever seen.

The Better Sports Movies Made
People will argue on what are the best sports movies ever
made. But I plan to put hat all to rest on my list of the greatest sports
movies ever made!!
5. Creed. I think that is one of
the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It’s about how a young boxer want to
be just like his father, perhaps even better. After being in an out of juvenile
detention centers, he finds out that his father is Apollo Creed. With the help of longtime family friend, Rocky
Balboa he helps him fight one of the top ranked fighters in the world.
4. Rudy. It’s the perfect underdog
story by far ever made. Rudy Ruettiger wanted to play for Notre Dame, but he
never had the money, to grades, or the athletic ability. After everything he
went to, he got the grades up and got the chance to be a walk-on. But after all
his hard work and dedication all the players lay down their jerseys all for him
to just be on travel squad. All and all it’s a great movie with a powerful
message.
3. The Sandlot 2. It’s the perfect
family movie as well as the perfect baseball movie. It shows how a person’s
past can change the way you think about them. After David gets attacked by the
dog his love of baseball never died. After David and his best friends all
played baseball on the “Sandlot.” But after meeting the love of his life he
never knew how to talk to her, until they split apart after high school. This loving
baseball story and a loving romantic movie.
2. Field of Dreams. This is the
ultimate baseball movie and a personal favorite of mine. The incredible movie
of an Iowa farmer having a crazy dream of building a baseball field in the middle
of a corn field. The timeless tale of a just searching for a sign that he
should sell his land to his brother-in-law. Instead of just one sign, the “baseball
gods” send him multiple signs. But this is the heartless fan favorite, everyone
loves Field of Dreams. It’s a great movie.
1. The Final Season. It’s the best
movie I’ve ever seen. It’s another underdog team just wanting to earn respect
from other school. But back in the 90s a lot of schools had to merge together,
because they didn’t have enough students at the schools hence the name “The
Final Season.” After the school’s baseball coach takes a job with a farm team,
the assistant coach must take over. The best part of the whole movie is the
fact that he ran things just as the former coach did. This is my favorite, I also
watch it the day before our first spring game and before our first high school
of the year.
Athlete's and their rides.
Athletes have acquired a lot of
money while playing their sport. At the peak of their career they have a lot of
money. More money than they know what to do with. After they buy their
multi-million dollar houses, they buy multi-million dollar cars. It all makes
sense. These athletes that I will talk about have an amazing car collection or
just one amazing car.
While Floyd Mayweather Jr. makes roughly
about 32 million dollars per year. Which leaves him a lot of room for his big
boy toys. Now with that 32 million dollar salary, he’s bought two nearly
identical Rolls Royce’s (A Wraith and a Phantom). Along with White Collection,
Mayweather also has a Ferrari 599 and a Ferrari 458. His upscale taste doesn’t
stop there, with his Ferrari’s and Rolls Royce’s Floyd also has a White Bentley
Mulsanne, a white Mercedes- Benz S600, and a white Mercedes- Benz SLS, a
Lamborghini Aventador, and finally a white Bugatti Veyron.
Everyone knows Cristiano Ronaldo,
and how good of a soccer player he is. But what most people don’t know is that
he is an avid car collector. Along with his Aston Martin DB9, two Ferrari’s (a
599 GTB Fiorano and a 599 GTO), Three Porsche’s (a Cayenne, a 911 Carrera 2S
Cabriolet, and Cayenne Turbo). That was just six of just Ronaldo’s 29 cars. He
has spent just about five million dollars total on cars since about 2006.
Now David Beckham is a household
name. Beckham has done some pretty impressive things over the years, but what’s
even more impressive is his car collection. I feel like his most prized
possession is a 2008 Drop-head Rolls Royce Phantom. To make it all better he
also owns a custom Cadillac Escalade ESV and a custom 2010 Camaro.
I can understand why all the big
name athletes like their big boy toys. If you made 20 million dollars a year wouldn’t
you want to buy multiple stupid million dollar cars?!?!
