The NFL Is Crazy!

By: Will Waters III

With the 2010's best being beating by the worst of the 2010 season here in this new season of 2011, this is really turning some heads.

Starting with the Detriot Lions and their unbelievable 3-0 start to this 2011 season. A team who hasn't had an over 6 game winning record season but once in 11 years (7-9), is almost half way to their best record since 2007.
With second year quarterback Matthew Stafford, first rounder from the University of Georgia, under center, the amazing third year wide receiver Calvin Johnson,  also a first rounder out of Georgia Tech,  and a revamped defense Detroit Lions fans hopes are looking up.

Next we have the Buffalo Bills. In the last 10 years the Bills have been a defense based team. The have many weapons on defense but their offense always lacks. Even when pro bowl receiver Terrell Owens was there his numbers significantly dropped from 69 recs for 1,069 yds on the season with the Dallas Cowboys to 55 recs for 829 yds on the season when he joined the Bills. The Bills offense has lacked but with the pick up of the seventh year quarterback out of Harvard University, the offense is moving. Fitzpatrick coming into this season with 3000 yds passing and 23 tds, he is well on his way to surpass those numbers seeing that he already, in three games, has 841 passing yds and 9 tds thus far.

Lastly, The Oakland Raiders, once nicknamed "The World's Team", have not had a winning season in eight seasons. They were one game away in 2010 with a 8-8 record on the season. Starting 2-1 this season, they seem to be on a good trip. With their big win over the NY Jets last sunday, September 25, they are definitely making moves to make their mark in the NFL this season.

The NFL has had many unexpected happenings. These happenings are molding a NFL season that almost didn't happen into a very exciting one. I know I will stay tuned. Hope you do the same.

Flow

I ain't feeling this
This between me and U
See while you pursue whatever it is for U
See it from my point of view
We R totally different people
Totally different people who want different things
Which brings me 2 the point of why continue
Why continue wit this mess that's less than the best we can give
Rather than forgive and forget
We forgive then regret
Then relive the disrespect
And neglect
And the hate
A mistake if we were 2 go on like this
And piss poor make up can never make up for the things we go through
Who do U think I am
Not the one
So U continue 2 do U
Cause I'ma do me
And get back 2 my sanity

September 11, 2001

Yesterday marked the 10th year anniversary of the tragedy of the bombing of the Twin Towers that accorded September 11, 2001. This tragedy, potentially the most devastating tragedy of my generation, was a extremely memorable one for me. Differently from many, I was out of the country in Hanau, Germany. The day of the tragedy I woke up for school and went through my day routine. Usually my mother leaves after an hour of me waiting up, but this morning certain morning was different. I saw my mother sitting on the couch watching the news. I immediately join her to ask her what was keeping her from leaving. He "hushed me up" half way through my sentence and told me to listen.

This tragedy was initially INSANE to me. Simply UNBELIEVABLE!!! I just could not believe that someone would have so much hate against America to intentionally kill so many people. I just could not understand why someone would purposely do that.

As I found out more about why the terrorists did what they did, I could understand a little more but I was still confused of why they would do that to innocent people. If they had a problem with a certain group of people then they should handle it with that group. I guess thats just the way of the world. *Kanye Shrug*
