2016 Pro Bowl

Today, January 31, is the 2016 NFL Pro Bowl. Every year the Pro Bowl is held in Hawaii. Up until a few years ago, it was the NFC against the AFC. But now all the players get drafted my alumni coaches Michael Irvin and Jerry Rice. The Pro Bowl consists of all the very best football players in the NFL. The way that the players get selected is by people voting for them online.

Who Is The Audience?

In the IPhone commercial, it shows many different types of people. It shows people of different backgrounds, races, and in different parts of the world. I believe that the audience is intended to be a variety of people. The Samsung commercial shows a very attractive woman using a hands free device. But there are a lot guys who think that she is waving at them. I believe that the intended audience in this commercial was adults. In the third commercial, a young boy runs away from home just to take a ride in a police car. It shows that he is comfortable in the car. The intended audience in this commercial is people that have a family with young children.

Home Opener

This past Saturday was the home opener for the men and women's track teams. It was also the first time that I would compete in the weight throw. I was in the first flight of two for the weight throw. My first throw was 12.03m and my second throw was 12.83m. Unfortunately my last throw went into the cage. My next meet is in two weeks at Ohio Northern University.

Memory

Throughout my eighteen years of life, I have had many memorable moments. But one of the most memorable moments I have had is when I had one the worst injuries that could happen to an athlete, the terrible triad to the knee. The terrible triad to the knee is when a person tears their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and meniscus. This happened to me when I was 12 years old and playing football in 8th grade. It happened at our second game of the season. It was an away game against a school that was about two hours away. At this game I was starting on both sides of the ball. I was the starting fullback and starting inside linebacker. When the injury happened I was playing fullback. It was the third quarter and we were on our opponents thirty yard line. The coach had just called a play where I had to run the ball.
after the quarterback said hike I got the ball and started running with it. I had already ran about 10 yards before I finally got hit. But when I got hit, I took a hard hit to the knee. As soon as I got hit I heard a loud "pop" and I was in horrible pain. Right as I hit the ground I took off my helmet and started screaming in pain. My coaches immediately ran out to the field to see what had happened. I told my coaches that I had heard my knee pop and that I was in a lot of pain. My coach asked me if I needed to go to the hospital and I told him no so they carried me off the field and I did not return to the game. The very next day I went to the doctor and he had told me that it was just a sprain and that I would be fine in 2 weeks. So I did not do anything physical, besides walk, for 2 weeks. Once the weeks was up, I was playing basketball in my P.E. class at school. I went up for a layup and when I came back down my knee completely went out on me and I fell to the floor. A couple days later I went to see an orthopedic surgeon. He had me get an MRI and that is when he told me that I had torn my ACL, MCL, and my meniscus.

        As I wake up I begin to start wondering where I am.  I start looking around and very quickly realized that I was in a jail cell. I have no recollection of where I am or why I am here. As I move around I can feel that there are some items in my pocket and I begin to pull them out. The first item I pulled out was a receipt from the restaurant an the Bellagio Hotel which reminded me that I was in Las Vegas. I then remembered that I was there for the weekend with some friends. The night before we decided to go out and have some drinks. While we were out we got into a brawl with a group of people. The cops were called and we were all arrested and that is how I ended up in jail.
