I am from…

I am from sports balls
From home-made pizza and music
I am from the red brick house with a feeling of unity inside of it
From the garden
I am from the creek whose water flowed after the long, hard, rains
From the bay house and crawfish boils
I am from Michael and Greg
From vacation and grandpa’s gym
I am from football
From “Come back” and “Go on”
I am from “tickets for the next ride”
From Houston and Mexico
I am from burgers and tacos
From the big bus that my grandma and her 9 other siblings rode in
I am from Old grandpas fishing poles under the deck that he loved
I am a small tree in a big forest
A forest where all trees take care of eachother

From the Snap to the Score

Toward my hands the ball comes
My eyes darting from receiver to receiver
All of the receivers are covered, making my mind spin
Stepping up in the pocket huge lineman around me
Boom!
My body tenses as the nose guard hits me from behind
My mind tells me that I’m going to fall, but that isn’t an answer
I put my hand down and balance myself and it works
I sprint across the line they call the line of scrimmage
Juking the linebacker and across the 50
I beat the safety and sprint into the end zone
My breaths short and heart pumping
I have scored a touchdown

Amazing Football Catch

Since it is football season right now, I was looking for an amazing football catch. I decided to look it up on You Tube and found this video. I think that this is one of the best catches of all time. How he forgets about everything and just dive backwards, catching the ball with one hand; not to mention having a defenseman on him. I thought that this video was definitely worth a spot on my blog.

Fantasy Football

Fantasy Football is one of my favorite things about NFL footballevery year. I love how I get to draft my own team, and see how my predictions for who is going to do good this year turn out. I love the excitement of watching your team and players get yardage, catch passes, make fieldgoals, and score touchdowns. 

I  did my draft  a couple of days ago, and I feel pretty good about my team. I have a couple of players who are projected to get over 300 points, Cam Newton, Marshawn Lynch, and maybe some more. Reggie Bush did really good for me in week one, he got me around 25 points, and I expect him to get a lot more points in the next weeks. Cam Newton did pretty good also, I think that he got me a around 20 points.

I think my team is pretty good. How is yours?
