Sports Column, "NO RANDY MOSS!"

I think that it was a very bad decision for the Vikings to get Randy Moss again and here's why. First off, Moss is a ignorant person who only does what he wants. If he doesn't like anything relating to his teammates, contract, or god knows what else, he wont try. I can remember sometimes back when we had Culpepper and there were times where Moss would miss a block on an outside run or run the wrong route on purpose. What about those failed one handed catches he always tries to make? He's just sabotaging his own team! Second, he has way to high of an ego. Remember how he would get busted for using marijuana? Mooning the Packer fans? (Personally, this is a special case where I respect Moss for doing something like that) What about the Love Cruise in 2005? He didn't seem very sorry about doing this. Honestly, most people wouldn't. Since he isn't married it really isn't that big of a deal. But it still is breaking the law and he has already done that way too many times. Third, he is a very bad influence. The NFL has been trying extremely hard to crack down on all of the drugs and gang stuff that was happening with the NFL's players. But think about this, how did it get to be such a big problem? Influence is the answer. Players got others to try it and it just kept spreading. Also, you can also teach teammates how to hassle your team and your coach to get what you want like Moss has been doing. Fourth, how hard do you really think he is going to try? Relating this back to my first point about something he doesn't like. He also won't try if he knows that a team needs him. The Vikings right now need a good wide receiver to cover for Sidney Rice since Bernard Berrian isn't picking up the slack. Since he knows that if we want any hope of reaching the playoffs we need to do it through someone, (which is now him) how do you think he's going to respond to that? I think I know how. Brad Childress has made another bad decision and we should get rid of Moss before he messes up our team again!!! (and bread childress!)

EA sports should make a college hockey video game

EA sports should start investing in making a brand new college hockey video game series because it would increase their profits, great experience, and it would be fun. Making it would be a very wise decision if they sell it just right.

In case you didn't  know, EA sports is the company that makes half of the sports video games in most of the world. EA sports has been making Madden NFL games, NHL, MLB, FIFA, World cup, College sports. Pretty much any major sport that you can think of, they have made. Well, all but college hockey and college baseball. But that's baseball and as we all know, hockey is way more fun to play and especially more fun to watch.

EA sports should really consider making a college hockey video game. Now some might be thinking that not a lot of people are going to buy this game because it is only popular with a small part of the world. Not true. Granted, I don't think many people south of Missouri are die hard hockey fans (Other then the places where people from the north retire). But you may want to consider that it isn't just the northern states that are hockey fans. Our northern neighbors are some of the best hockey fans that you will see anywhere (other then Minnesota).

I will admit, a lot of people might not buy college hockey in the southern areas. If this is really a concern about loss in profits, then just raise the price a bit to cover the loss. Most hockey fans that I know are passionate about it. I know that I am and a little higher of a price tag isn't going to stop me from buying it and trying it out.

There's also one more thing that I wanna say for my argument. NHL has been making some of the best graphics in the sport's video game industry for a while now. First game realistic looking jerseys, players and referees. Then more control in stick motion and shooting. Lastly, they made 3D fans cheering that don't have twins in another section in the same seat. Think about this, these great graphics getting applied to college life and sporting events and you have got one hell of a great video game. I can't say have had any more fun then going to a college rivalry game.

So if I were in charge of EA sports, I would seriously consider making a college hockey video game series. It will grow and become very popular with a good reputation like college football or NHL. I also would like to play to make the Gophers better then how they have been doing in the past few years.

my hero

My hero of all time is Gandhi. Gandhi is my hero because he was a leader to India's independence without causing any violence.

Hero's journey

Call to adventure: Gandhi's call to adventure wasn't at once. It was over a period of time in South Africa where he was being discriminated against.

Crossing the Threshold: Gandhi started to cross the threshold when we started to refuse to do this because the were racist or against his religion.

Belly of the Whale: When he started activly and openly started resisting the British and supported for India's independence

Hero partners: His wife

Test and Ordeals: When he was getting arrested. Refusing to allow racism to control him.

Journey to the underworld: When he was in jail

Master of two worlds: A hero in South Africa and A hero for India's independence

Freedom to live: Indians got basic rights in South Africa and they got all of their rights back in India

Death of the hero: The massacre in India that had 357 dead and about 1,100 injured after british troops opened fire on innocent people for about 5-10 minutes

Ultimate boon: Gandhi has the power of popularity behind him to support him and his cause for independence in India.

Double Bubble map of Luke and Doug

The main reason why Luke didn't use the targeting system to shoot those bombs down the exhaust pipe was because Ben spoke to him through the force to use it and trust it. Luke did it because he believed in Ben and trusted what he told him. So when Ben said "Use the force Luke," Luke trusted him and shot the bombs using the force. Because he used the force to blow up the death star, Luke became more familiar with it and passed a major milestone with his training.

At times, being a hero is hard and you get forced into it. Like Doug did in Blue Diamond. Doug had a math test that he wanted to study for but his friend Quinn forced Doug into coming with him to save him. You can tell that he was forced into it because he told Quinn no in his kitchen, no in the car, and to pull over. Quinn though made sure that Doug couldn't get out of his car though without hurting himself. In the end, Doug saved Quinn from killing himself, but he was forced into saving Quinn. He never wanted to go with him to Las Vegas in the first place but was forced to do so.

One thing that makes a hero a hero is that they catch something that seems to be unimportant and then it becomes the whole reason to their success. Like when Doug and Quinn were sitting in Quinn's car in the parking garage. The man who was selling the diamond wasn't a very key factor if Doug would have let Quinn drive away. But because Doug saw that Quinn was worried when man was approaching them, he realized that he has to make Quinn scared. He knows this because if he was going to commit suicide, then he wouldn't be worried about what this man was going to do to them. This just shows that what sometimes makes a hero a hero is their ability to pick out a key moment and use it to their advantage.
