Andrew Luck

Earlier today it was announced that the Colts will draft Andrew Luck from Stanford for the first pick of the NFL draft. ESPN had said the Colts have had a decision for a few weeks now but today, Indianapolis notified Andrew Luck of the decision. With the Redskins most likely taking Robert Griffen III, the Vikings are now on the clock. http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2012/story/_/id/7831853/2012-nfl-draft-indianapolis-colts-tell-andrew-luck-no-1-pick-source-says

I think this is a good decision by the Colts to draft Andrew Luck. He may not have as much talent as RG3, but I feel like Luck is better at the talents him and RG3 have in common and also has a better QB mind. I feel like RG3 would be a good decision for the Colts, but not for a long term situation. I think RG3 is going to be like Donavan McNabb type QB, good in his first few seasons, but slowly loses his talents. I believe Luck will be a good long-term QB, like a Big Ben or even a Peyton Manning type QB.

Week 12

This week, Arkansas Razorbacks football coach, Bobby Petrino, was fired. A few weeks ago, he had crashed a motorcycle and suffered some injuries, and he also said he was the only one to crash. A few days later, we come to find out that there was also a young 20's woman who was on with him. He basically hired her himself as a "secretary."

Some are saying the firing was a bit too harsh, but how can you trust someone after they never told you about hiring someone and when they get into a crash, they lie about how many people were involved. Petrino must be so stupid. He might have gotten fired even if he didn't lie, but it wouldn't be as bad as it has been. And to top it off, he barley sends Akansas University an apology. He sent them a text message, that means nothing! At least be a man and say it face to face.

Week 11

This week North Korea basically ended the plan with the US and has started up their nuke program again. We traded them food for the end of their nuke program earlier in the year. Sunday, they released pictures and videos of their launch pad.

I don't know exactly what we did for North Korea to end the plan so fast, but we need stop North Korea's nuke program. Though they are making their selfs look stupid and just asking for war, we need to stop their program somehow. We cannot get into a war with them, and need to make sure their program ends.

Week 10

Dwight Howard earlier this week decided to stay with the Orlando Magic for the rest of the season. He was wanting to be traded and wanted out of Orlando, but changed his mind, for now, and wait to move at the end of the season.

I think Dwight Howard made a great decision. He has a nice chance of going decently far in the playoffs. Also, the New Jersey Nets, who Howard is most likely to go to before next season, are moving to Brooklyn. This offers Howard a great way to get some money and the Nets are also a growing franchise.

Week 9

Earlier this week, the Colts released Peyton Manning. They announced Wednesday that he was going to belong to the Indianapolis Colts anymore. Jim Irsay, the owner of the Colts, said they are trying to rebuild. Peyton Manning, obviously, was very saddened to leave the city.

I thought the release of Peyton Manning was stupid. Andrew Luck said he wouldn't mind being a backup of Peyton. I think that Peyton has about 4 years left in the tank. The Colts should have kept him for at least 1 more season to see what he looked like. But anyways, I wasn't shocked. It was bound to happen. I think we all should give Andrew Luck a chance and see what he can do.

Week 17

When I was looking at the articles in the "Upfront" magazine we received Thursday, one of the first you will see "advertised" is an article about sagging. I looked at all of them and decided I want to do that one. It is about how high school teen boys "sag." Sagging is when a male, maybe in some cases female, lower the pants way below the waist and show their underwear. It is a new trend among many teens. The article is about if the style of fashion should be outlawed by the government. It is already outlawed in Florida and Arkansas schools. I believe it should be outlawed.

I believe that government can't outlaw sagging, but it should end for sure. It is just showing that you are basically trash when you are sagging. I do not understand people that do sag, why do they do it? Though we go to a private school and have to wear uniforms, there is still sagging happening at our school. It would be a very difficult process to basically ban sagging, but like I said earlier, it should end. They also said in the article that when you don't sag, it makes you look more professional, which is a very obvious observation. There are many reasons why people do not want to see another person sagging. No one wants to see what type of underwear you are wearing, it makes you look like trash, and it is just ugly. It is not the right type of fashion you want. I believe the government should at least attempt to pass a law for high school students to not sag in all states. If you think about it, the government is helping you. You won't look like an idiot to other people.

Week 16

This news could be a little old, but since USC was banned from a bowl game, talk about Matt Barkley making a decision about gooing to the NFL or staying his senior year has been heating up. If you don't know, Matt Barkley has been the starting quarterback at University of Souther Cal for the past 3 years. If he decides to go into the draft, he is projected by Mel Kiper to be the 3rd overall draft pick. He recently filed paperwork for the NFL. That does NOT mean he decided to go into the draft. Here is more information. http://www.sacbee.com/2011/12/01/4093438/uscs-barkley-mulls-decision-files.html

If I was Matt Barkley, I would stay at USC for my senior year. Though USC won't be able to go to a bowl game next year either, he could still contend for the Heisman Trophy, just like he is this year, and also contend to be the 1st overall pick in the NFL draft. Though he is competing for the Heisman Trophy this year, my gut feeling is that Andrew Luck will win the Heisman this year and end up being the 1st pick of the draft. If Barkley stays, he most likely will be a top conteder for both the Heisman and 1st pick of the draft. He shouldn't worry about getting injured, too. Sam Bradford was injured his last year of college football and ended up being drafted #1 overall in the 2010 draft. Though I do not like USC, Barkley should forgo the draft and come back for his senior year.
