Why is Cris Carter not in the Hall of Fame?

I find it completely ridiculous that Cris Carter has not yet been selected to the Hall of Fame and has been passed over 4 times! He is 4th all time in terms of receptions with 1,101 and is 4th all time in terms of touchdown catches with 130, and is also 8th all time in receiving yards with 13,899. He played in the 1990's when there were very few pass-happy offenses like there are today and had he played in the present era his stats would undoubtedly be better. Even so at the time of his retirement he ranked 2nd all time in both catches and td catches and was 4th all time in receiving yards. He was an incredible player who was a complete receiver. He had great hands, ran crisp routes, and could beat a DB deep. He lead the league in touchdown catches 3 times and caught 122 passes two years in a row. He had 8 straight seasons with over 1,000 yards receiving and had 6 seasons where he caught at least 10 td passes including a season where he caught 17. To go along with his great stats he was one of the most reliable receivers in NFL history. He caught everything thrown his way and was always making plays on the football field. He is an accomplished player who belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I hope that he is inducted in 2012 because he is one of the top 5 receivers in NFL history (in my opinion) and hopefully the hall of fame voters finally come to their senses and vote him in.

Whats wrong with Desean Jackson

I know it's been a while since I've last posted but today I wanted to talk about one of my favorite players in the nfl right now, Desean Jackson and try to dissect what is bringing his game down this year. When you look at his stats he has over 500 yards receiving in 9 games but has only had 3 games where he has really been a factor. He also missed a team meeting on last week so he couldn't play in the game against Arizona. One reason that he might not be playing up to the standards that some people hold him to is because of his contract. He is way underpaid compared to many other receivers today and definitely deserves a better contract. However I think that he is asking for too much, especially when you consider that he has been almost non-existent in many games this season. He is unhappy with his contract and feels underappreciated so maybe this is why he isn't playing up to his potential. However this isn't the only reason that could explain why he is having a down year. Another reason is that he has become somewhat predicatable on offense and isn't getting open. He doesn't really run inside routes unless it's a deep post and his route running selection is limited. Teams now have a corner jam him at the line with safety help over the top and this has effectively stopped him from getting open. To perform better the Eagles need to find more ways to get him open and Desean Jackson needs to work on his route running and ability to lose defenders if he wants to have another Pro Bowl season. Whatever the reason for Desean Jackson's decline in production this year I hope that he can get back to being the great receiver that he can be.

Jump Manual Success

Hey guys sorry that I haven't been posting my progress with the jump manual but I am here to tell you now that the jump manual works!!!!!! My old vertical was about 22 inches and after 15 weeks with the jump manual my vertical was 25-25.5 inches!!!! This is only a 3-3.5 inch increase but I plan on using the jump manual once a year so I can keep increasing my vertical which will help increase my athletic ability. Once again the jump manual works, it has helped me so much with my jumping and I can actually fell myself getting higher in my jumps. Also the jump manual has helped to increase my explosive power which has helped me in track since I do the long jump and the triple jump. All in all if you want to increase your jumping ability and explosive power than buy the jump manual today.

Jeremy Wariner

I'm sure that most of you 400m dash fans are asking the same question that I am, "Is Jeremy Wariner Finished?". Jeremy Wariner won the 400m dash in the 2004 olympics and won another gold in the 4x400 relay. Also at the 2007 world championships he ran a 43.45 second 400, the 4th fastest 400 of all time and it looked like he would win another gold in the 400 at the 2008 olympics.However at a meet before the U.S. trials Jeremy was beaten by Lashawn Merritt and he was beaten by the same guy at the trials. Wariner's time at the trials was 44.12 seconds and I expected him to beat Merritt at the olympics. But when the olympics rolled around Wariner got 2nd by over 10 meters and his time was very sub-par. He once again lost at the 2009 world championships to Lashawn Merritt but this year (2010) Merritt was suspended for taking a drug that was on the banned substance list. With Merritt out of the way it looked like Wariner would dominate again but at the trials Jeremy didn't even finish the 400, pulling up lame after 80 meters. Now onto the question "Is Jeremy Wariner Finished?". The answer is no Wariner can and will bounce back because he definitely has the ability to. The thing that he needs to improve is his mental toughness which is the thing that I believe has been the main reason for Jeremy Wariner's recent defeats. Jeremy Wariner will bounce back and have a good chance to once again dominate the 400 meter dash.

Fast Food Effect

Hey guys I know I normally talk about sports but I'm going to talk about fast food today. Fast food has become a function of our lives now and 40% of our meals are from going out to eat instead of eating at home. Fast food is delicious but it's even better if you eat it rarely. Fast food makes you fat!!!!!!! I like fast food bud I only eat once a week if even that and I'm going to keep it that way. Onto some evil fast food companies like Mcdonalds. Workers at fast food restaurants get a grade for their work and if they get a good grade they get paid more. But Mcdonalds doesn't want to pay their workers more than minimum wage so they purposely give lower grades no matter how hard you work so they don't have to pay more. But I digress. Now that I have shown you some facts about fast food and namely Mcdonalds I hope you are more informed. SUBSCRIBE

Desean Jackson and Chris Johnson

Desean Jackson and Chris Johnson are the 2 most explosive players in the NFL right now and possibly a couple of the most explosive in NFL history. Desean Jackson has 8 receiving touchdowns and over 1,000 receiving yards on just 56 catches. This means that he averages 19.4 yards per catch. Jackson is also one of the best return men in the league which make him even more dangerous. Now onto Chris Johnson who is only 270 yards away from 2,000 rushing yards on the season and with 2 games left in the year I think he can definitely get it. Also he has over 2,000 yards of total offense. Chris Johnson is one of the top 1 or 2 running backs in the league and what sets him apart from other backs is that he is a dangerous receiver and one of the best receiving backs in the league. These 2 players both have at least 6 plays of over 50 yards which firmly establishes them as the 2 most explosive players in the league. SUBSCRIBE!!!!!!
