Do you watch professional American Football? If so who do you like better, the Saints or the Broncos? I am going to talk about these two teams. The Saints have had okay seasons since their 2009 Super Bowl win. In the past 5 years they have had 3 winning seasons. Although they sustained major player losses they have no reason for their current record of 4-7. They still have Drew Brees but lost Jimmy Graham. The Broncos on the other hand are on an 9-2 season currently. Their first great quarterback

Have you ever wondered why football teams keep switching to turf instead of natural grass? Well, there are many good reason why they do but there are also many why they shouldn’t. Money is a huge factor of it and I think that is why teams keep switching to turf. Why are teams actually going to turf? Well, money is a big factor of it. It is almost 10,000 dollars to put in turf but after that you don’t have to use much more money. You don’t have to water it, you don’t have to replant seed every two

By Ahmed Osman Sort out the defence. England's defence was earmarked as a potential weak link even before they travelled to Brazil - although it should be remembered it was Chelsea captain John Terry's decision to retire from international football and it was not up to Hodgson to plead with him.

OC Pep Hamilton’s system has feasted on a multitude of vertical concepts for quarterback Andrew Luck to dissect defenses prior to this season.

Love or Division? I really don’t know much about football...quite honestly, the only game I ever watch is the Super Bowl. I watch it for the parties with friends, the commercials, and the halftime show. Typically, I find the commercials good and the half-time show ok.
