    Advantages And Disadvantages Of Oren Burks

    Burks made two outstanding plays in the victory over Kentucky in 2015. The first came at the 0:50 mark when cornerback Torren McGaster tips a pass to keep it inbounds before Burks dives on it for an interception. This kind of heads up play making ability is part of the reason he's been named to multiple awards watch lists and is a Wuerffel Trophy nominee. His high football IQ also translates to places off the field, like it did at SEC Media Days, where Burks earned praise from SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey and became the event's spokesman for sensitive social issues.…

    Bob Stoops And The Oklahoma Sooners Analysis

    What really shines when you watch Mayfield is his competitive fire, leadership, and will to do whatever it takes to win . (If you need an example, watch this.) Teammates love this from a quarterback. I know many football players are quite jealous of the quarterbacks. How come he gets so much protection? Why can't I slide when I'm about to get killed? You don't see this in Mayfield’s game, and that's why I really love the guy. When the game is on the line, he finds another gear and carries the team to victory. When you need an extra yard, he lowers his shoulder. When the team needs a spark, he riles up the troops. He just plays with a unbridled passion for the game, and it really rubs off on his teammates. He is a huge reason why I believe the Sooners will win it all, but there are still a lot more cogs that make this Oklahoma machine…

    Summary: Super-Athletes In Football

    The early days of the National Football League were much different than they are now, in fact when it first started it was more of a regulated brawl than a sporting contest and forward passing was not permitted (Peterson 4). The game of football has positively progressed over the many years and as the game advances, so does the equipment, players, and coaches. It is beneficial for the game of football to progress with time for obvious safety reasons, and to also keep the passion and love for the sport alive.…

    A three-time All-American halfback and 1961 Heisman Trophy winner, Davis set yardage and scoring records at Syracuse University. He would go on to win MVP title in both the 1960 Cotton Bowl and the 1961 Liberty Bowl, and would be inducted into the College Football Hall Of Fame in 1979. His honors and accomplishments on the gridiron were matched only by his adversity off the field; As a black athlete playing many games in the south, he was the victim of racism on several occasions. The most publicized incident occurred when he was selected as the Cotton Bowl MVP in 1960. Davis was told by organizers that he would be allowed to accept his award at the post game banquet, and would immediately have to leave the segregated facility.

    J.B.WATSON

    John Broadus Watson was born on January 9, 1878 in a poor family in Greenville, South Carolina. He was grew up on a farm. John B. Watson was the fourth of six children. He had a mixed upbringing in which his mother, Emma Kesiah Watson who was a very religious woman. She pushed for Watson to be a religious Christian who was expected to restrain from those negative behaviour such as dancing, smoking, and drinking. Meanwhile, his father, Pickens Watson, was a heavy drinker who was often in trouble with the law and did not follow the same rules of living as his mother. Unfortunately, while growing up, John Watson grew particularly close to his father and also found himself getting into trouble. He subsequently seemed destined to follow his father's model of violence and recklessness. As Watson grew older, his father began cheating and betrayed on his mother. Pickens’s extra-marital affairs ultimately resulted in Pickens leaving the family just after Watson turned thirteen. The breakdown of family gave a great impact on Watson, and his motivation for academics disillusioned. Thus, it can be said that John B. Watson was not necessarily groomed for academics. As a young boy, he did not excel in his studies and was a discipline problem to many of his teachers. He assaulted other black children at his school and even mocked his own teacher during class. He even found himself in trouble with the law after he was arrested for violent behaviour on two separate occasions.…
