Politics, News & Issues > Football News & Opinion Does the New York Giants' Super Bowl appearance enable Eli Manning out of Peyton's shadow?: 3 of 7

Does the New York Giants' Super Bowl appearance enable Eli Manning out of Peyton's shadow? The National Football League is rather unique than most professional sports. The real football season is 16 games long and more if you make the playoffs. That's not enough games to show dominance, unless you are that good. Making the S...
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms How violence in entertainment affects our society: 20 of 35

The entertainment industry is very powerful. People have and always will be influenced by what they see on television and the movies. Violence in the movies and t.v. does more harm than good to a society that already has lax gun laws, and restrictions. Marketing and the entertainment industry regularly use subliminal message...
Politics, News & Issues > Football News & Opinion Does Art Monk belong in the NFL Hall of Fame?: 2 of 3

In my humble opinion Art Monk should have been a first or second ballot nominee to the Hall of Fame. Maybe he was a victim of his time, or maybe a victim of sportswriters catching up from the past to bridge the future. When Art Monk left the game he had already surpassed Steve Largent's new record for most catches throughout...

I don't believe that God is in any stretch of the word, an Indian giver. He said that he is the doorway to heaven. Once you accept Jesus the Christ into your heart, your...
Politics, News & Issues > Football News & Opinion Who's the better career running back: Emmitt Smith or Barry Sanders?: 9 of 9

Barry Sanders was the better career running back. If I had to choose between Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith, I would go with Barry. Emmitt played on a much better team. His supporting cast was "leap years" better than the Lions' teams that Barry played on. Emmitt had better blocking, passing, catching, and defense. Emmitt di...
Politics, News & Issues > Football News & Opinion Does Green Bay Packer Brett Favre rank on the greatest NFL quarterback list?: 2 of 2

It is no doubt that Favre was a great QB. He was a good leader, a "blue-collar" QB from the old school mode, and a had decent arm. However, Favre forced two many passes which resulted in interceptions. Favre was a streak passer, just like a "streak shooter" in basketball. Favre threw a whole lot of errant passes too, passes ...
