Steelers earn key playoff-positoning win

A week after losing a heartbreaker to the New York Jets, the Pittsburgh Steelers rebounded in style

Thursday night and inched one game closer to clinching the AFC North with a dominant 27-3 win at

home against the Carolina Panthers. The Steelers, who clinched a pla

yoff berth despite the loss last

week, improved 11-4 and now sit a half-game in front of the Baltimore Ravens for first place in the AFC

North. The Steelers would clinch the AFC North with a Ravens loss at Cleveland this week or a win next week against the Browns

Taking the field on a chilly night against an opponent with nothing to play for, the home team’s

defense dropped the Steel Curtain on Carolina, sacking the opposing quarterback four times and

creating two turnovers. Preparation was key in the short week, and it paid off.

But most impressive on the night was quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who showed off the long ball

with the offense’s young crop of weapons. The Steelers’ offense resembled the potent assault of the

Philadelphia Eagles with its speedy receivers, do-it-all running back and veteran leadership at

quarterback.

Roethlisberger again great under pressure

The Steelers quarterback was efficient all night, completing 22 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown.

Playing with a broken foot and nose that was bloodied in the first quarter, Roethlisberger played like

his usual self. Several times, he fought off defenders while under pressure and completed

intermediate-range passes. In the second quarter, Roethlisberger connected with Mike Wallace on a

short slant route that ignited the crowd of 61,000-plus at Heinz Field when Wallace sprung free for a 43-yard touchdown.

Wallace becoming a superstar

Speaking of Wallace, in early April, the Steelers front office made a decision to trade their 2009 Super

Bowl MVP wide receiver Santonio Holmes for a fifth-round pick to the Jets. The move was a sign of

confidence in Wallace. The second-year receiver from ‘Ole Miss had four catches for 104 yards,

showing off his speed on several occasions. Wallace has breached the 100-receiving yard mark six times

this season and has even matched a long-standing record set by a Steeler legend, tying John

Stallworth’s record of 24 20-yard receptions in a season.

His performance was also complemented by a consistent rushing presence by running back Rashard

Mendenhall.

Mendenhall: Steeler ground game personified

Although Mendenhall didn’t have his best game of the season numbers-wise, he posed as a valuable

threat, baiting the Carolina defense into selling to out try to stopping the run. Mendenhall was utilized

at the goal-line as a short-yardage back whose job was to punishopposing defenders. On the Steelers’

first offensive play of the game, the third-year running back from Illinois gashed the Panthers’ defense

on a counter for 35 yards. Carolina did well to stop Mendenhall after that, bottling him up for only 30

more yards on the night. But he played the role of a typical Steelers running back very well – attacking

defenders at full speed.

The persistent attack allowed Pittsburgh to control the clock and rest its league-best defense.

Steelers defense punishes young Carolina offense

The Pittsburgh defense played particularly well in the absence its leader, Troy Polamalu. The All-Pro

safety was inactive after suffering an Achilles injury in Week 14. The safety was missed, but other

leaders stepped up. The defense flexed its league-best against-the-rush muscle, negating the

Panthers' only offensive strong point. Carolina running back Jonathan Stewart, the league’s leading

rusher since Week 12, was limited to only 71 yards on 18 carries. Against the pass, Pittsburgh

defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau dialed up blitzes, constantly harassing Panthers quarterback Jimmy

Clausen throughout the night. Clausen, a rookie from Notre Dame, was sacked four times and, on one

somewhat rare occasion when he found enough time to actually get a long throw off, was

Panthers need long-term solution at QB

Dropping another game to fall to 2-13, the Panthers have all but secured the No. 1 overall pick in the

2011 NFL Draft. Assuming Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck forgoes his final year of collegiate

eligibility and declares for the draft, Carolina must at least consider selecting him if they wind up with

the top pick. Although Clausen is only a rookie and hasn’t had enough time to develop as an NFL

quarterback, his throws are inconsistent and his deep ball is very inaccurate.

New York Jets speaks to fans: 'I'm good at what I do'

Four days after hearing Jets fans call for his job, Brian Schottenheimer fired back, defending his performance in the wake of back-to-back no-show outings by the Jets' offense.

"I know I'm a damn good football coach. I'm good at what I do," Schottenheimer said. "We've had a lot of success here. Are we pleased? Absolutely not. Am I disappointed? Absolutely. All I can say is that I'm going to do the best job that I can. I'm going to bust my ass. And that's the message we'll hold on to."

There's been an outcry over Schottenheimer's play calling in the wake of the Jets' two-game losing streak. They've scored a grand total of nine points in losses to the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins, and Schottenheimer's play-calling has been labeled everything from predictable to pathetic, particularly after Sunday's 10-6 loss to Miami.

Quarterback Mark Sanchez finished that day 17-for-44 for 216 yards and the Jets averaged just 2.8 yards per rush against the Dolphins. Making matters worse, both Miami scores came after Sanchez turned the ball over in Jets territory.

After the game, Jets fans outside of the postgame interview area at the New Meadowlands Arena chanted "Schotty Must Go."

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't hear it," Schottenheimer said. "It's not the first time I've ever heard it. I don't have time to worry about it."

Schottenheimer has been "on both sides" of a fan base calling for a coach's job. He said he was in the stands when fans called for the firing of his father, Marty, in Cleveland, Kansas City and San Diego.

"It's always harder on the families. I always worry about my wife, my kids," he said. "[But] it comes with the territory."

Schottenheimer also has the full support of his players, who know there's plenty of blame to pass around.

"The coach can't get out there and play," running back LaDainian Tomlinson said. "He calls the plays and it's up to us to go out there and execute it."

Just as the Jets were doing when they scored 23 or more points while winning nine of 10 games before their two-game skid.

"Earlier in the year, when we were putting up 30 points a game, everybody's like, 'Schotty's calling great plays,' and you heard that talk," Tomlinson said. "Now when we haven't scored a touchdown the last couple of games, it's Schotty's fault. It isn't Schotty's fault. It's our fault. We need to play better. We need to make more things happen when we get the ball in our hands."

On Monday morning, head coach Rex Ryan sat in on the offensive coaches meeting, offering what Schottenheimer called "a different perspective" on the team's woes with the ball in their hands.

Ryan isn't usually in on the offensive meetings. On Thursday, he downplayed the impact of his attendance. But he curiously didn't mention Schottenheimer by name when he gave support to his "offensive staff."

"I think it hasn't been our day lately and I give the opponents credit as well," Ryan said. "That doesn't mean I have lost confidence in the staff. It's a great staff."

Earlier in the week, Ryan was critical of Schottenheimer's decision to spike the ball when the Jets had a 1st-and-10 at their own 47 with a litttle more than a minute to play. Schottenheimer said he wanted the offense to gather itself before running the next play and accepted responsibility for the call.

It doesn't get any easier for Schottenheimer's unit. This week they face a Steelers defense that is tied for first in the league in sacks (39) and is allowing just 60.1 rushing yards per game.

"This is a business of high highs and low lows. When we were 9-2, a lot of people were patting us on the back," Schottenheimer said. "People were telling us how great we were. ... It doesn't take very long to go from one extreme to the other. That's why you have to take the good with the bad. You've got to keep working, be the same person week in and week out. But it's been a tough week."

Protect your belongings and yourself

The annual college shopping trip is almost upon us. And while it's fun to stock up on posters, shower caddies and desk lamps, experts say you also should consider how you'll keep yourself, and your stuff, safe on campus.
Common sense is the best defense, says Chris McGoey, who runs a security business in Los Angeles and consults on campus safety.
``It's all about access. In most incidents, victims were careless, unaware and too trusting,'' he says.
In dorm suites and hallways, there may be visitors you don't know. Many freshmen like to adopt an ``open-door'' policy in the dorm. But that's an invitation to would-be thieves.
``If you have a computer, laptop or other electronic equipment, tether it to something solid using a security cable,'' advise the ``college life'' editors at the school-advice site SparkNotes.com .
There are also motion-sensor locks for laptops. And Orbicule's Undercover is a monitoring device for your Mac, iPhone or iPad; for a student price of $39, the downloadable software will snap a photo of the person who took your Mac and track the IP address anywhere in the world -- information that can be given to police. In the meantime, lockout features prevent the thief from accessing anything on the computer.
As for smaller valuables, some students suggest keeping them in a trunk -- the kind you take to summer camp -- with a combination lock. Trunks also make handy nightstands.
Jeff Gawronski of DormCo.com , an online retailer that sells dorm security items, says his biggest seller is a room safe. Safes these days have been scaled down to look less intimidating in a dorm room.
Diversion safes are containers that look like everyday items -- cleanser cans, for example. The idea's clever, so long as nobody accidentally throws out the safe.
If your roommate has lost a key, don't leave the door unlocked. Instead, offer to help find the resident assistant to get a new lock and keys.
In general, familiarize yourself with the school's security systems and dorm environment. Locate fire extinguishers, and keep a small one on hand if you have appliances. DormCo.com stocks a Kevlar fire blanket to smother flames.
Female students may feel safer at night with a small pepper spray canister, if the school allows it. CollegeStudentSafety.com even sells jogging hand weights with a small vial hidden in the grip. A lighted key chain with an alarm may offer peace of mind.
Students are at particular risk for identity theft, according to a survey by Impulse Research for the Chubb Group Insurance Cos. Some simple steps can reduce the risk:
Don't give out bank, credit card or social security information over the phone or online. Shred sensitive documents, or use an identity blocker stamp that obscures personal info. Be careful about replying to solicitations, and check bank balances frequently. If your wallet or purse is stolen, let your bank, the school and the police know immediately.
If you do suspect identity theft, go to Onguardonline.gov for help. It has information from the federal government and the tech industry on how to safeguard identity online.
``Parents can't assume their son/daughter knows not to readily give out their personal information,'' Gawronski says. ``This should be a discussion for all parents to have with their children before they head off to college.

New coach of Cleverland Browns

This time, Brown has made significant changes in the management of its technical staff. Coaches player Wes Chandler, 50, the league very professional and experienced coach appointed receiver Browns.

Do you Wearing Detroit Lions' Jerseys to Supports Your Team

The Detroit Lions were founded in 1929 in Portsmouth, Ohio, as the Portsmouth Spartans. In 1930 they joined the NFL. Since Portsmouth was then the smallest NFL city, the team couldn't survive there, so they moved to Detroit in 1934, after the change in ownership. Lions have won four NFL championships, the last one in 1957, and hold the record for the second longest period without a title in NFL. They also hold the record of longest loosing streak, having lost 19 consecutive games. Lions are the only team in NFL who lost all games in a single season, as they scored 0-16 in 2008. Detroit Lions have certainly seen better days, but hopefully, they will manage to recover and bring the pride back again to their home grounds, the Ford Field. Detroit Lions jerseys and the history that comes along with it will be explain in the next few paragraphs.
Detroit's uniforms are today almost the same as their original ones. They wear blue or white jersey with silver pants. The helmet is silver with black, white and blues stripe and Lion's logo on the side. The logo has been redesigned in 2008, adding fangs to the lion. In 1994, NFL's 75th anniversary, Lions wore their throwback jersey, similar to the one they had in 1935 championship season. They didn't have TV numbers on shoulders and the helmet was without a logo, since the helmets in 1935 were made of leather and didn't have any print on them.
Lion's blue is called "Honolulu blues" as it supposedly reminds of the color of the waves off Hawaii coast. The color was chosen by Cy Huston, who served as Lion's first vice president and general manager. Apparently, he was told that this particular shade of blue matches the silver pants. In 2003 team added black as one of their colors. The lion logo and jerseys received the black outline, and the new alternate jersey was introduced, black with blue stripes around the sleeves and blue numbers. Helmet mask was also changed form blue to black.
Alternate jersey, resembling the one they had in 1950s was worn in Thanksgiving Day matches in 2001-2004, as a part of league wide policy, where NFL recommended the teams to wear their alternate uniforms on Thanksgiving Day games. In April 2009, Lions introduced the new uniform design, featuring redesigned logo and more modern font.
Detroit Lion's mascot, Roary, is one of the most adventurous mascots in the league. He has been seen water skiing, tubing down the ski hill and riding a mechanical bull. Even with all of this, Roary still finds the time to entertain the fans in Lion's den and cheerleading for his team.
His favorite food is "barbequed bear and Viking venison with melted cheeseheads on top" and his shoes are bigger than Shaq's, according to his official bio on Lion's web site. Roary wears jersey number 1. With all the changes Lions introduced lately, the fan's hopes are getting high for the upcoming season. Hopefully, the team won't let them down and will make them proud again, as in the glory days. But will the blue Detroit Lions jersey become the terrifying sight for their opponents, only time will tell.

Top 9 Mini Dresses For You

A little more than a hundred years the black dress, dark and depressing. This is the traditional dress of mourning for widows in mourning for their men to the dead not sure Come Knocking late into the night. Fortunately, the great Coco Chanel had a vision, and in 1926 alone saved the morbid black dress repute. It has since been re-invented in the LBD, little black dress. The rest we can say is, the history of fashion. Here is a look at the top 10 most memorable LBDs of all time.
1. Who would've though that a star would be caught dead wearing something that was originally intended for recycling? Well, apparently it could happen, just like the black bandage dress Cindy Crawford wore to the 100th Anniversary of Vogue back in 1993. Since it was created by Herve Leger in 1985, the dress has made numerous comebacks.
2. Of course, you can't have a list of LBDs without Victoria Beckham in it. From her Spice Girls days to her Mrs. Beckham fame, it seems like Posh can't be seen without one for very long. Who can miss the be-ribboned Giambattista Valli frock that she wore to the TomKat wedding in 2006? Even the Philip Treacy hat is unforgettable.
3. Very few people can pull off a dress that looks like something you catch fish with, but Gwyneth Paltrow did at the 2008 premiere of Iron Man in Rome. Gwyneth stunned spectators when she arrived at the red carpet wearing a peculiarly deceptive Jean Paul Gaultier creation. At first look, it looked scandalously transparent - a surprise, considering it's the ever demure Ms. Paltrow.
4. Even before she became THE Halle Berry, Halle Berry already had a style of her own. She turned heads back in the 1992 Soap Opera Digest Awards when she waltzed right in donning a strapless, poufy, full-skirted LBD that looked suspiciously like a Karl Lagerfield creation. She might have been almost unknown then, but she had the press scrambling for pictures!6. If there's one person who's often seen in little black dresses aplenty, it's Reese Witherspoon. Seen promoting her film Rendition at the Toronto Film Festival in a form-fitting strapless Jean Paul Gaultier creation, Reese looked fabulously sleek and smoldering. Accessorized with diamonds aplenty, Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps, and squeeze, Jake Gyllenhaal the look is nothing short of historical.
5. Of course, who can forget the black lace cocktail dress immortalized by Julia Roberts in the fairy tale to end all fairy tales, Pretty Woman? It's a classic. Enough said.
6. At first glance, it looked like no more than a piece of black fabric held together by a few giant safety pins. That was Elizabeth Hurley's Versace outfit at the 1994 premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral. That black dress was literally little, and though it was severely criticized back then, it certainly was unforgettable. It paved the way for the short-lived and the now-defunct giant safety pin trend (does anybody still remember that?).
7. Devilish - that's what the LBD Nicole Kidman wore to the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival is. With a simple bodice, gorgeous diamond-studded straps, and a backside that teases, the Azzaro creation is no less than stunning!
8. It's hard to put a list together without Kirsten Dunst making an appearance. In this case, who can forget the oh-so feminine Rodarte number that she wore at Spider-Man 3's 2007 London premiere? It was almost eerie how the LBD contrasted with her naturally pale skin, completing a look that was romantic, ethereal, and unbelievably fresh.
9. And finally, who can forget Audrey Hepburn's legendary little black dress from 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's? Sold for £410,000 in a 2006 auction, this Givenchy LBD is, hands down, a star in its own right!
Without a doubt, LBDs are forever. And we owe it all to a woman named Coco.

Lindsay Lohan shows off her hot body in the bandage dress

Designed by Herve Leger, Lohan pulled off the famously unforgiving bandage dress admirably.
Teamed with sexy fishnets and lace-up stilettos, the actress proved that she's got all the necessary style credentials for her cameo on the hit US show which is styled by Sex and the City fashion legend Patricia Field.

Young Hollywood loves the bandage look, and chic OC starlet Rachel Bilson made a cream halterneck version seem far more elegant than something so short and clingy should strictly be.
Fellow teen drama star Blake Lively was in turn spotted on the New York set of Gossip Girl in a herve Leger bandage dress.
Christina Aguilera has been flaunting her post-baby figure in Herve Leger, not unlike Naomi Watts, who wore Leger in a photo shoot following the birth of her first child.
Heroes' Hayden Panettiere flaunted the body that only a 19-year-old could have in a strapless version, while equally youthful songstress Joss Stone has been seen sporting a rainbow striped version.
Knocked Up star Katharine Heigel recently appeared on the cover of US Cosmopolitan magazine in a baby pink version, and Mariah Carey also opted for pink when she wore a bandage dress on Good Morning America earlier this year.

Lopez dew point by wearing a bandage dress

Celebrity oops! Jennifer Lopez's dress slips to expose her assets a little too much
As a bona fide fashion icon and designer, Jennifer Lopez is usually one of the first celebrities to try out the latest trends.
But it appears the singer/actress is losing her touch as she became one of the last stars in Hollywood to wear Herve Leger's iconic bandage dress.
But Lopez, 39, decided on a $990 fuchsia colour-block dress with red and blue detail to show off her curves as she dined out in Los Angeles last night.
And things nearly went disastrously wrong as she managed to slip out of the tight-fitting number.

Figure-hugging: Jennifer Lopez wore a $990 Herve Leger dress for her romantic dinner with husband Marc Anthony in West Hollywood last night

While J.Lo went for full-on glamour in her form-fitting mini, Latin singer Marc looked more casual in a white shirt and black trousers as they dined at Cecconi's Italian eaterie in West Hollywood.
The mother-of-two had been enjoying an evening off filming her comeback movie The Back-Up Plan with husband of five years Marc Anthony.
But the slip, which occurred as she got in her car to go home, will cause her eternal embarrassment.
A-listers from Kate Winslet and Victoria Beckham to D-list reality stars Heidi Montag and Danielle Bux have been sporting different styles and colours of the dress over the last two years.
Over two years after Lindsay Lohan helped kick off the new trend for Herve Leger bandage dresses, J.Lo has finally squeezed her curves into the figure-hugging creation.
Perhaps her new role as mother to twins has meant the Latina star hasn't been following fashion quite so closely as she has in the past.
The bandage dress has been on the red carpet scene for so long, it has trickled down the high street with stores including Lipsy, Dorothy Perkins and Topshop all selling their own versions of bodycon dresses.
Herve Leger first launched their bandage dress in the early Eighties.
However, it was only when Max Azria reinvented the dress for the French label in 2007 that it realy took off and became a staple outfit in every star's wardrode.
After becoming a fashion icon herself in the late Nineties, Jennifer launched her own fashion range J.Lo By Jennifer Lopez in 2003, before shutting it down four yeas later.
This week, she also announced she was closing her contemporary sportswear brand SweetFace, which had been going for four years.

The Future Legends of the NFL

2010 is the 91st season for the national Football League, with many players leaving their legacies playing for numerous teams during the years. Some have become legends, while most have had careers out of the limelight. Some had short careers due to injuries or performance issues, while others have had a long and prosperous time playing for one or more teams in the NFL. With that we wonder how these teams replenish their rosters with new players after losing veterans to retirement or moving to other teams. There are different ways that this is accomplished. Each player has a contract with the team he is playing for. These contracts dictate how much a player is paid and how many years he is to be with the team. When these contracts expire, the player becomes a "free agent" and can contact other teams that may wish to pay him more for his services. Every year players move from team to team during free agency. The teams will look for player depending on their position needs as well as the skills of the players.
Another way that teams acquire new players is through the "NFL Draft". NFL teams draft senior players that are graduating from colleges and universities each April. The draft is a major event that has all NFL teams attempting to obtain the best players that they can. Depending on the previous seasons win/loss records, the teams with the worst records are allowed to have the first picks to obtain the best college players to improve their teams. For example this year the St. Louis Rams had a poor season last year and were allowed to pick Sam Bradford who was the number one quarterback prospect. This usually has a beneficial effect on the league as it brings the teams closer in parity and skill levels. But sometimes this does not work out as planned. Some college players who are expected to be great do not do well at all when trying to play at the professional level. When this happens they are usually traded to another team within two or three years and many quit playing altogether. On the other hand, some of the best players were picked from the later rounds of the draft and went on to become superstars. Tom Brady of the New England Patriots,who was picked in a late round of the 1996 draft, is a good example. Some college players are not drafted at all and become "undrafted free agents" They are then sometimes contacted by NFL teams after the draft and are selected to play. Sometimes even these undrafted players go on to have illustrious careers, such as John Randle of the Minnesota Vikings. He became one of the NFL's best defensive ends of all time and was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
last way that teams acquire new players is by trading players with other teams. Teams trade for players who fit their needs and also may future trade draft picks for players that they want. This leads a great deal of strategies when teams are competing for players. There are also many other factors that are involved with this. Each team has to consider how much money they can spend for each player. The league itself also has rules regarding the amount of money involved and also what teams are allowed to participate in the free agency. The better a team is, the more restrictions they have placed on them during the free agency period and the draft. all of this is very entertaining for the fans and they watch these events very closely to find out how their teams will do in the next season. After all, it is the fans that pay for tickets to attend the games, buy jerseys, food and other merchandise
which allows the teams to spend millions of dollars on the players for their teams. It is a very large business, because professional football is shown to be the most popular sport in the USA.

When China People Hit NFL Just Like NBA?

Hi, friend! If you are an American, when asked whether you know about NFL games, perhaps your instant reply is “Are you kidding? I love it! All American love it! But ,hey, I don’t know much about it. You know what? Ping-pong is the pride of our nation and football is your pride and joy. Don’t feel sorry for me, because I would like to start getting to know about NFL. Want to know why? Follow me.
NBA VS NFL
Remember the excitement from fans when Michael Jordan appeared on the NBA court? You can even hear the shouts of Chinese fans in their school canteens. NBA is very popular with Chinese people, especially among the teenagers and college students. They can easily tell you their favorite stars. Air Jordan has been a legend to the world, but stars like Kobe Bryant is also known to all NBA lovers in China. Just like you know Brett Favre.
However, NFL is a newcomer to China. NBA spends at least twenty years making its name in China. Now basketball becomes part of our daily life. People watch it on TV. They talk about it after class and work. They celebrate when their favorite team wins the game. When players like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were chosen by NBA, we knew basketball would never leave us .Our attention will always be given to NBA. Then what about football? Chinese footballers have let Chinese fans down all the time. Success in football games has been a dream of Chinese fans. how far is it from dream to success? There is always a long way to go. So another twenty years of American sports to be introduced into China?
NFL Being Introduced to Chinese people
Will NFL spends twenty years entering China like NBA? Or shorter? This is a difficult question to answer.
Chad Lewis, the former Tight End of Philadelphia Eagles, has come to China. Interesting enough, Lewis has a Chinese name as Lu Gaowei. When he speaks in his fluent Chinese in an interview by www.QQ.com, we find something different and we like this man. Dressed in his NFL jersey with number 89, Lu Gaowei seems amiable, lovely and very man. He talks and then more Chinese people get to know American football-----different from the football. We realize that another ball will hit China. NFL finally steps into our homeland.
Aroused by his spoken Chinese, I begin to listen to him carefully. I start to know who he really is, what his purpose is here in China, what the NFL is, what Touch Down is and want to know more about NFL.
Former Tighten End, Today’s Image Messenger
When asked his feeling towards the American football, he just repeats that it is fun and he loves it. When asked what NFL is to him, he tells Chinese people that the American football is a game that needs your being strong, smart and cooperative. When asked why he has number 89 for his jersey, he says “every number has its story.” The story about his number is relevant to his position in the team. When talking about Bird Nest, Lewis expresses his excitement for the visit to Beijing and looks forward to having an NFL game in Bird Nest. But he knows NFL has a long way to go before it is accepted by all China.
I’d like to thank Lewis for his introduction of NFL. Like ping-pong, which is our pride, American people take pride in football. So I think if we would like our ping-pong game to be exported and be accepted, then we are able to accept and learn about NFL. Especially when you watch the NFL games, you will find it fun to enjoy.
First Impression of NFL games
Just as Lu Gaowei suggests, NFL football games are loved by all-American. When he enters the court, he could hear the shouts of all fans of every team. His teammates are willing to work together to get the top-------the Super Bowl. They seem to be a family----with 11 brothers fighting for the glory and for fun. It seems all these men love football more than anything else. They are cool and adored. In fact they are not just human beings, they are fighters. When they fight against their rivals, they are men---strong, brave, smart, and sly. They remind people of fighters in the battles. For me, they are like ancient Chinese terracotta warriors. The difference is war brings violence and death and tragedy, while NFL game brings fun and good life for people including players and fans----One for joy and the other for good life. When the worldwide financial crisis didn’t beat NFL, we can believe that NFL could bring the world peace by its popularity among the world in the future. For sports will shorten the distance between you and me.
