Victory for the Broncos

For the 2014 Superbowl I hope that Denver wins and my prediction is that they will. I think that overall Denver will outplay Seattle, but I could be totally wrong. Seattle is known most for their defense while Denver is known most for their offense so it could really go either way. I feel as if the Bronco's are the favorites but it is split evenly between who people think will win. Though this could end up being a really close game, I still stand to my prediction that Seattle has no chance. I mostly just watch the Superbowl for the commercials, but I will actually watch some of the game this year because Eric Decker is my favorite player, and he's pretty handsome. I am very disappointed in the fact that Bruno Mars is performing at the half time show. I tend to find him very boring and he might cause people to fall asleep or change the channel. Overall, I am excited to watch the outcome of the 2014 Superbowl.

Brainless Athletes

The research that CNN has gotten involving Division 1 college athletes and their lack of ability to read and write is not only but shocking, but pathetic. It was said that a little over half of the college athletes can't even read above what is considered an eight grade level. That to me was very shocking because if you have the opportunity to get into a school with great sports, you should be able to obtain the academic skills for your grade level. Also, about 8% of those people cannot even read at a fourth grade level. In my opinion, that is pathetic because you're taking up someone else's spot in that school who actually works hard for their grades. Today, people seem as if though sports are the most important thing. Just because you play a sport it should not mean that you don't have to work academically, you shouldn't be excused or treated any better. Overall, this article shocked me because these universities are aware of the extents of cheating these kids do, but still do nothing about it.
