Week 10

The NFL owners have voted to move the kickoff to the 35 yeard line not the 30.  they are doing this to lower the amount of injuries.  they will keep the touchback at the tenty yard line.  Cribbs said "NFL rule changes are BS... U not making the game safer u messing a great sport, trynna hide behind safety just to add 2 game...smh,"  Returners hate the new placement of tthe kickoff.

I think that the kickoff change is stupid.  they are messing with what people like and now more people may not watch football because the best thing which is the kickoff is changed. they should keep it as it was in hte beginging beofre the change.

Week 9

A Michigan High school basketball team had a player who made a last second basket to win the game.  It capped an undefeated season but right after he hit the shot.  He collapsed and died on the court.  He was the star of the football and basketball team.  The high school had a game on Monday.  It was the first game back from the incident and the team came out and won the game for their fallen teammate.  They won 65-54 in the first game of the state tournement.

I thought that what happened to the player was sad, because that should have never happened to a star like him.  He was a great kid who had a great future.  The team wore a shirt before the game that said NEVER FORGOTTEN.  I thought that it was a great thing that the team won the game for their fallen teammate and everygame they will play for him.
