Ben Roethlisberger says ankle better

Link- http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7356549/pittsburgh-steelers-ben-roethlisberger-improves-not-practicing
Sports World: If Big Ben cant play Monday night the Pittsburg Steelers will be in big trouble. They are playing a team with the same record as them and they know the game will be a fight to the end. Big Bens backup Charlie Batch did a horrible job last week when he took over for Big Ben for the remaining minutes in the second quarter. So if Big Ben is unable to playt he Steelers will most likely lose.
Question:  WIll he be able to play Monday night?
Summary: Big Ben got hurt in his last weeks game but was able to return after the second quarter. He could barley walk but fought the pain and continued playing in the game. He is still not practicing and he is not sure if he will be able to play this week. If he does not play the Steelers will most likely lose a game they should of most likely have won
Alternative: Big Ben is better but unable to practice

MurderBall

  • My favorite part of the movie was after USA lost to Canada for the second time because they all came out crying because the game means so much for them and even though they got bronze they wanted to win the gold.

  • I think the most inspirational character is Zupan because he is the leader of USA team. He is the heart and soul of the team and he put all he had into the games.

  • They wanted to show that paralyzed are normal people. They have the same mentality and want to be the best person they can be. Also they wanted to show that the sport itself is very important to many people. People would betrayal there country just to be a port of the sport.
  •  I would recommend this movie to other people because it shows how many people who are paralyzed live there life. They are regular people who want to be treated like one and they want to play sports like regular people.

Terry Fox

I think the most inspirational part of Terry's story was when he cried over the young boy who was battling from a loss from a leg. He showed that kids are getting this disease and he wanted everyone to know that he will always be inspired by the young boy. I also was very inspired by the socks meaning to him. That he wore it everyday he run and when he was hospitalized he finally took it off showing that his life is coming to an end.

The media covered Terry Fox very well. They wanted to sow everyone that one person can make a difference. They covered him being a celebrity and he wasn't doing anything for himself he was doing it for the people who have cancer. They covered him negatively because he didn't want to talk to the news a lot because he wanted to keep on running and let his feet do the talking.

Cam Newton rushes for three TDs, sets QB record as Panthers crush Bucs

Link- http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=311204027
Sports World: This is very big news because Cam Newton is a rookie and he has a bright future ahead of him. If he can tear up teams defenses now then in the future he will just get better. Also we have a couple of more games so Cam can get even more rushing TDs.
Question: Will he beat his record in the future?
Summary:  Cam Newton who is a rookie is already a top QB in the NFL. He is having one of the best rookie seasons be a QB in the history of the NFL. He has surprised everyone and he has set a NFL record for most rushing TDs by a QB in one season. I think he will definitely break the record for most rushing TDs by a QB. We just have to wait and watch him grow into a great NFL QB.
Alternative- Cam Newton already breaks a record

Tim Richmond

I learned from HIV/AIDS is that 4 out of 10 people die from aids. You can get it from sexual intercourse from heterosexual/homosexual. Many people don't want to associate with people who have AIDS because they are scared they will get the disease. I know if someone I knew had AIDS I wouldn't want to play sports with them and also I wouldn't want to be best friends with them.

He didn't tell anyone because he didn't he would lose his job and the respect from all his fans. He didn't know how to tell everyone. I do not think he should of told everyone because it's his disease and he has the choice to tell everyone. If he did tell everyone he would have been kicked out of NASCAR and would have been a hated person around the country.
