Nick Saban decision to stay in Alabama

He was thinking about going to Texas because of the challenege. Recruiting wouldn't have been a problem. I would've stayed too because the love him in Alabama. They gave them the money because it was a chance that he would leave. The way Mack Brown was treated obviously helped make his decision a little easier. Texas wanted to see what Saban was going to do first. 7 million to 7.5 million is a great contract all with the incentives of getting to the national championship is around 4 million as well. Great decision Saban.

Redskin's Coach Shanahan's Made a good decision to sit RG3

It was a great decision to sit RG3 for health reasons. Lasten year when he played RG3 through his injuries he was scrutinized for keeping him in and he was talked about for playing him to early at the beginning of the season. RG3 was the 2nd most hit QB in the NFL being hit 102 times only behind Cam Newton who was hit 122. Russell Wilson and Ryan Tannehill are tied for 3rd place with 84 hits. It is obvious that his mobilty isn't were it was a year ago down at 36 yards a game from 58 yards a game. RG3 QBR in 2012 was 74 and this year it is 40. Last year he had 6 rushing TD's and this year he has 0. I do believe that the coach's son Kyle should've supported his dad the coach's decision. All his comments did was add fuel to the fire about why he sat RG3. Michael Irvin comments were out of line and I believe that he was mad because you can tell how fired up he was during his turn. It seemed as if it was his turn to get back at Shanahan for some reason. Shanahan made the right decision because if he would've keep RG3 in the remaining games and a similar situation would've happened like last year he would've never heard the end of it. I also believe that RG3 should've keep his comments to his self. You can't blame it on the coach when your not performing to the best of your abilities. He has to stop staring down recievers when he throws.

Jacksonville Jaguars should sign Tim Tebow

The Jacksonville Jaguars should sign quarterback Tim Tebow to a 2 year deal to see how things will work out for both of them. If next year he improves their season then a restructured contract can happen. I will point out several reasons why it would benefit the Jaguar organization. On October 21,2013 the USA today paper stated that the maximum capacity in the Jaguar stadium is 67,164 and that only 59,550 were utilized in paid attendance which left 7,214 unused. Florida is Tebow's home territory and the fans would LOVE it if they signed Tebow. It would definitely generate a lot of money for the organization. His jersey would definitely sell like pancakes at Denny's. Don't believe according to Forbes on NFLshop.com from April 1, 2012-July 31, 2012 Tebow was 3rd in front of names such as Andrew Luck, Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Cam Newton, Drew Brees, and Tony Romo who most people would said is more accurate. What some people fail to realize is a quarterback needs help from his receivers as well. The great receivers can adjust well to the ball in the air. When running a route a receiever is taught to look back for the ball after the 1st three steps just incase the quarterback is in trouble and then he can be a hot route. For example when a receiver runs a 10 yard out or in and they round it off instead of making a sharp cut. That gives the Defensive back an extra second or two to step in front of him and intercept the ball. The good corners can do that. It is harder for the DB to intercept the ball when the receiver runs a great route. Tebow could benefit from a Wide Receiver like Lokey Howell who they could sign for the league minimum for 1 year to try him out. Remember when Tebow was in Denver and everyone was talking about his faith and how much successful he was when he was there. Just imagine if Tebow's and Howell's Faith were somehow connected. They would definitely make the playoffs next year and make a run for the superbowl. If you look at Peyton Manning and the weapons he has. The Broncos even brought in an extra weapon in Wes Welker and he also has Eric Decker not to mention Demaryius Thomas who by the way Tim Tebow used to help beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs. Teams with good quarterbacks get them weapons and you can even look at Tom Brady and how he struggled before his tightend came back. During the preseason everyone was talking about who was Brady going to throw to well how would Tim Tebow make the Patriots team if Brady had no one to throw to. That meant that Tebow wouldn't anyone to throw to either. The Patriots had weapons in place but Aaron Hernandez was a setback and Rob Gronkowski was out for part of the season. Even Brees and Wilson have weapons. You can look at how Flacco is struggling due to the departure of Boldin. So Tebow needs some weapons and the tickets will sell like crazy. Even when Tebow became the 3rd string quarterback for the Patriots during the preseason where a tweet was made that he would have #5 in during training camp in Foxboro it had 886 retweets and 277 favorites even though we need he still had to make the team and that Brady would still be the starting QB. So the Jaguars will make good money from this deal and even possibly success on the field and not to mention that the fans would be over-excited. The 1st home game would be sold out.

Oregon Ducks QB Mariota Decision 2 stay is a great 1

Oregon Ducks Sophomore Quarter Back Mariota decided to stay another year. I think it was a great choice. It is great to have something to fall back on. A degree will last longer than football because we don't know how long his football career will be. We need to teach our children to finish college while getting a degree. Also that even if their dream is not to become an NFL player, then let your athletic ability pay for your college career. That way you don't have to pay all those student loans back. Mariota can only get better staying longer in Oregon. Some critics say that he isn't that accurate but staying another year he will learn the system better and already know where his recievers will be. His accuracy percentage should be in the 60% range or better. I expect big things from him next year and a strong finish from the rest of this year.

Pittsburgh Steeler Coach Tomlin 100k Fine & possible draft pick loss

That was a huge fine for Coach Tomlin because he was near the field. The question is would we be talking about this if Jones would have been tackled before he got close to Coach Tomlin. I think not but i understand why the league fined him so much. Afterwards he laughed and but I do believe that his apology was sincere. I think that it is ludicrous to try and take possible draft picks. What if this was Mike Tomlin last season? So the Steelers organization has to pay for his mistake that he is already paying for. It is possible that he could get fired for this but I doubt that it will happen. In the Patriots case involving the spy gate scandal the Coach and the organization was fine; but this situation was only on Coach Tomlin. The fine is more than enough. The NFL should not take a draft pick.

Broncos Chiefs recap

The seemed like they were just out of sync the whole game. Too many dropped passes, a fumble and other miscues. Hopefully the next game in Denver will be better because they can make adjustments. They have to get after the passer and bring pressure but also mix it up. You have to throw off Manning's timing. When you throw off his timing it gives you a greater chance of winning. You can't just press all the time unless your corners are very good at jamming also known as bump and run. It just seemed like the Chiefs weren't ready to play. That doesn't mean that Reid didn't prepare them well. It just seemed like with all the drop passes that they were nervous but you also have to give credit to the Broncos breakdown of the Chiefs. No sacks were given up by the Broncos. When two good teams play it mostly comes down to the team that makes the least mistakes and the one that capitalizes on those mistakes will win. It should be a much better performance in two weeks.

Lebron leaving Cleveland for Miami

God doesn't pick winners he will put you in position to win. Lebron had a vision to go to Miami and win multiple championships. When Lebron first went to Miami they were in position to win when they were up 2-0 against the Mavericks. No one is going to give you a championship you have to earn it. So after they had lost they didn't like the feeling of being that close and not achieving the trophy. So next year they won against the Thunder. Then next year against the Spurs which was their toughest challenge. Particular in game 6 when the tape and the trophy started coming out the saw that and the Heat begin to wake up. God allowed that to come out to let them know that they could potentially lose and that sparked the Heat and they came back and won. No one boxed out Bosh and the rest is history. The Heat still had to win game 7 but the Spurs were already mentally defeated and frustrated and you can see it through Duncan's expression after missing two close shots. God puts people in position to win. We hear it all the time when a coach says that we beat ourselves. This year the Heat will have their toughest test against the undefeated Pacers.

Final Steelers vs Lions 37-27

Steelers changed their game plan at half time and the Lions didn't adjust. The coverage on Johnson at the 13th minute mark in the 4th quarter. Then the Lions made a terrible call going for it when they should have kicked the field goal and took the points. The momentum swung in Pittsburgh favor and they marched 97 yards and scored. The Lions would have been up by 10 points and they was no need to go for it with the risk at hand. When your defense is playing pretty good then you don't need to take risks like that. Good game Pittsburgh and the Lions need readjust their game plan next time.

Ohio State vs Illinois 60-35

Eventhough Illinois scored 35 points against Ohio State which was the most given up all season. No need to worry about their standings. In football it's about winning games. Illinois was 2 and 7 coming in. 2 wins and 7 losses. When you coaching a team like illinois and you are playing an undefeated team like Ohio State sometimes it can be easy to hype your team up to play. Illinois if they won could've turned their season around mentally and ended their season on a positive note. They can take away some positive things away this game. I believe that Ohio State can compete against Alabama & Florida State. Commentators were worried because Illinois put up some points but ever since I played football teams that weren't that good wanted to be the team to knock you off. The way Hyde is running Ohio State only looks tougher and tougher to beat.

Megatron vs. Ike Taylor

It's obvious that Pittsburgh best corner Taylor would be on Megatron but once you see that he needs help then the Steelers need to give him some. The touchdown when Johnson scored after being on his knees. Ike should have used a better technique. Ike is a good corner he just has to change his technique. If he would have stayed in his back pedal a little while longer he would have seen where the quarterback was going. He was already close to the endzone so his back pedal had to be a little slower. Detroit should have more points than 24. Pittsburgh is playing on thin ice. They should have press coverage at times on Johnson with a safety spying Johnson. Why? Because you know the Stafford will target Johnson a lot during the game. Pittsburgh Coordinator Dick needs to tweak his defense a little. I understand that 2004 that has been #1 in several categories but times change as different players come into the league. If they don't change their defense (Steelers) then it will be a long day & i will be surprised if they win. I do like the fact that Offensive coordinator Haley is putting the ball in Brown's hands their play maker. When you have special player like that it is imperative that you draw up plays to put the ball in your playmakers hands. They need to continue doing that and fix the problems on defense.

Game 6 Review

It wasn't a bad decision not playing Duncan in the final minutes. The players on the court didn't box-out Chris Bosh. Manu missed a free throw that was crucial but he has to play much better with less turnovers. The Heat should take seeing the caution tape and trophy as motivation and a sign of disrespect. The Spurs were devastated by the loss but they have to put it behind them and play ball. If the Spurs lose then everyone will look back at game 6. I do believe that Leonard shouldn't have been in the game because he was only a 68% shooter and at this point you want your best free throw shooters on the court. The headband coming off of Lebron actually helped him. People said he was lost and if that's the case then the headband triggered an emotion that allowed him to get back into game mode. When I play football I get butterflies so I enjoy playing the first play so I can get some contact then afterwards I get into game mode saying "Oh its gon be like that." Then no more butterflies and I'm ready for game mode. Even though Duncan may have done in on accident it certainly didn't help them. Also Lebron has to just play ball even if he feels that he was fouled. He cannot stay on the floor and complain to the refs because that won't work and all it will do it make the refs mad. It should be a very good game. I'm picking the Heat to win because they have all the momentum and motivation they need to win.

Jonathan Sadler Biography

I did my web biography assignment on Jonathan Sadler, a 23-year-old Senior Social Work major. Jonathan was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus in 1999. Hydrocephalus is cerebrospinal fluid  that surrounds the brain. Hydro-association is a website designed for terminating the challenges of Hydrocephalus. One or two of every 1,000 can be born with it. There is no cure for Hydrocephalus but surgery can help. Jonathan has had two surgeries and the second one was an emergency surgery because the first one was unsuccessful. The doctor place a shunt in. A shunt can last anywhere between 20 minutes to 20 years. His most recent surgery was six months ago. After the first surgery Jonathan had to learn how to walk and talk all over again. Jonathan always tries to be a happy person. After graduation he wants to get a job helping others with the similar diagnoses. His left shakes sometimes and on days it shakes the most he tries not to it. During his years at Slippery Rock University he was awarded a $500 a semester from the OVR (Office of Vocational Rehabilitation). He works at Boozel dining hall at Slippery Rock university. He said that the easiest job for him is working in the dish-room. Jonathan Sadler working in the dish-room.This is the easiest job but sometimes it frustrates him when it gets busy.


Tuesday's and Thursday's are busy during common hour in the dish-room. Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's 15 minutes before classes start are busy as well. He said the his dad was instrumental in motivating him to be the best person that he can be. His dad's favorite saying was "You got to get back on the horse and ride," his father said.
