ALL ABOUT FANTASY FOOTBALL

Hi guys, have you heard of Fantasy Football? It's something you do online. You pick players from all of the teams in the NFL. Here's how you score points. Lets start with QBs, a touchdown is 6 points, a 10 yard throw is 1 point, a 20 yard throw is 2 points. Now to WRs, TEs and RBs they score the same. A 5 yard run is 1 point, a 10 yard reception is 1 point, a 20 yard reception is 2 points, and a TD is 6 points. Now the kicker extra point is 1, and a field goal is 3 points. Now the defense. Interception and a fumble is 2 points.





Here's my Fantasy Team: QB Joe Flacco and Mark Sanchez, RB Chris Johnson, Felix Jones, and Tim Hightower, and Marshawn Lynch, WR Steve Breaston and Wes Welker, TE Todd Heap and Tony Gonzelez, K Shayne Graham, D/ST Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, bye!

Adrian Peterson!!!!!

college career

NFL career

 Hi guys and gals. I'm going to talk to you about the Minnesota Vickings running back, arguably
the best running back Adrian Peterson! He was born on March 21 in Palestine, Texas. If you were paying attention you should know this but he plays for the Minnesota Vickings. I think he's the best RB although I don't like Minnesota. He can break a lot of tackles and run fast at the same time! Wow. isn't he good! He was also very good in his college years in Oklahoma! He's had 5,500 rushing yards and 48 TDs! I bet he'll have a lot more in a couple more years, bye!

LARRY FITZGERALD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Larry Fitzgerald was born Aug. 31. He was drafted 3rd overall in the 2004 draft by the Arizona Cardinals. He played college for Pitt. For 3 years starting at the age of 15 Fitzgerald was the ball boy for the Minnesota Vickings!!!!!! I've seen a show called Science Sports or Sports Science and Larry was catching balls upside down! Oh, I almost forgot here are some awards he earned: First Team All America in 2003, Fred Bilentnikoff Award in 2003, Paul Warfield Trophy in 2003, Walter Camp Award in 2003, Pro Bowl Selection in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, First Team All Pro Selection in 2008 and 2009, NFC Champion in 2008, and Pro Bowl MVP in 2009. Is that a lot or what!!! Lets get to some stats now: rec. 558, receiving yards 7,368, and TDs, 63. This is his 7th year as pro. I think he wants to retire this year though. He is 1 of the most athletic people in the league, look at those pics you now what I mean!? In college no doubt he was the best WR! Maybe when they win the Super Bowl for once, he mite be the Super Bowl MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IOWA'S QB RICKY STANZI

He was born in Mentor, Ohio in 1987 Sept. 3. He's 23 right now. Stanzi went to Lake Catholic High school. He was replaced by James Vandenberg on Nov. 7, 2009 because of a right ankle sprain. He had to have surgery. He was able to return in time for a game that they won against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the Orange Bowl. In 2009 he passed for 2,417 yards and 17 touchdowns. Maybe this year he'll pass for more. When I grow up I'm going to be just like him, I hope, bye!

BURJ DUBAI

It cost $1.5 billion dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then they changed the name to the Burj Khalifa to honor the UAE president for his crucial support. Out of 900 apartments 825 were still empty. Here are some record breaking things that it broke.

• Tallest structure ever built:2,717 feet

IOWA OR IOWA STATE CYCLONES I WOULD RECOMMEND IOWA

Hi, did you know Iowa has beat ISU 39 times! Here's the picture of the trophy that they won every 39 years, the Cy-Hawk Trophy. I don't like ISU, ugh! I think we should look at ISU's schedule. We should dominate Eastern Illinois, witch we did, then run over ISU, witch we did win 35-3. Last year ISU finished 6-6. Their biggest win was over the Nebraska Cornhuskers, with a 9-7 win. Yes, Nebraska had 8 turnovers. But, ISU had the ball 33:40, almost 5 min. more than the Cornhuskers. Nebraska on offense had 362 yards and 15 1st downs, when the ISU offense had only 11 1st downs and only 239 yards. ISU also  beat Baylor and Colorado to add to 3 conference wins. They lost games to Kansas and Kansas State witch could of been a win, they beat Minnesota 14-13 in the Insight Bowl. Their defense gives up a lot of points and can rarely stop an offense. I don't think they'll be able to hold a team under 20 points if they don't get a all new defense. Even back then ISU's defense was ranked 99th in the nation, and they allowed 415 yards per average, and 165.69 rushing yards on the ground, that's a lot!!! They haven't scored a TOUCHDOWN against IOWA since 2007,bye!

18 IOWA V.S. 5 MICHIGAN STATE

Hello. I'm going to talk to you about probably the biggest woop out and biggest win for the Iowa Hawkeyes! They faced the 5th ranked undefeated Michigan State Spartins. They played in Iowa City where all of their roaring fans were hoping for a win. I was watching the game at my grandma's house when I saw Tyler Sash intercept it and pitch it to the rookie Micah Hyde who broke so many tackles he took it in for a TOUCHDOWN! The game was over by halftime with a ending score 34-9! Here's a picture of the interception, bye!

THANKSGIVING

Hey, Kayd here. I'm going to talk to you about Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving means a lot to me. Although I do not like turkey. I want to thank Abraham Lincoln , the pilgrims, and the Indians or Native Americans for making this a holiday. I love to watch football games on Thanksgiving. Usually the Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, and sometimes the Oakland Raiders play. I usually go to someone my dad knows for Thanksgiving. Honestly the only stuff I like in that huge feast is butter bread and corn. I don't like mashed patatoes, vegetables, or turkey. I have a lot of fun with everyone there. Like last time these 2 guys went outside and played catch with us! And 1 of them wanted to be called Peyton Manning! I love to see all of my family members during Thanksgiving.


P.S. Thanksgiving is an awesome holiday to hang out with family members have a great one, bye!

ATLANTA FALCONS

The Atlanta Falcons play in the Georgia Dome. They're in the NFC South along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints, and the Carolina Panthers The Falcons joined the NFL in 1965. I think that's while ago! They've won their division 3 times 1980, 1998, and 2004. They've been in the super bowl once and lost to the Denver Broncos. The Atlanta Falcon's franchise began on June 30, 1965. The Falcons had their 1st season in 1966, and their 1st preseason game on August 1st. But they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles. They lost their 1st 9 regular season games (0-9). Their 1st win came against the New York Giants. The team finished with 12 wins (12-4). In the 1978 season, they got in their 1st playoffs. They won the wild card game against the Eagles 14-13. But the following week they lost to the Dallas Cowboys 20-27. The next year they lost to the Dallas Cowboys again 30-27. The next year they lost to the Minnesota Vickings 30-24. Their coach Leeman Bennett was fired after that game. In 1991 the Falcons drafted Brett Favre. That year the season ended because of a loss to the Washington Redskins. In 1992 they moved to the Georgia Dome. On November 8, they won a huge game over the New England Patriots, with the final score 41-10. Atlanta ended in red hot 14-2. And their mascot is even named Freddie the Falcon. On January 8, 1999, the Falcons upset the 1 loss Minnesota Vickings. And guess what they were at home! They won 30-27. However in their 1st super bowl they lost to the Denver Broncos 34-19. Then in the 2001 draft they picked up arguably the best QB ever Micheal Vick!
HOPE YOU LEARNED SOMETHING, BYE!

ARIZONA CARDINALS

There were 4 different cardinal teams, the Chicago Cardinals, St.Louis Cardinals, Phoenix Cardinals, and the cardinals who play now the Arizona Cardinals! They play in Glendale, Arizona, witch I think they should play in their capital Phoenix. There are 2 big sections in the NF:L and their are 4 little parts in each section. The 2 big parts are NFC (Arizona plays in) and AFC. The little parts are the same thing in each one. The little parts are the Western Division (Arizona plays), Eastern Division, Northern Division, and Southern Division. There are 4 teams in each division. Arizona plays with the Seattle Seahawks, St.Louis Rams, and San Francisco 49ers. They play in a stadium called the University of Phoenix Stadium. I do not know why they call it University of Phoenix when they play in Glendale. It's a dome. When they were a new team they would win just barely so they called them the Cardiac Cards and because they wouldn't get confused with the baseball team the St.Louis Cardinals. They've won their division a couple times made it to the super bowl once and lost to the Steelers. They have 3 different uniforms white (away), red (home), and black (special). The team had to move from Chicago to St.Louis because the Chicago Bears came along and played really good football so people stopped watching the Cardiac Cards. When they played in Phoenix their stadium was called Sun Devil Stadium. Then the Arizona Cardinals came along and are very hopeful to win their 1st super bowl title. And I almost forgot Kurt Warner is the best QB and Larry Fitzgerald is the best WR!

Now lets go to grammar, we are going to learn what a verb is and how to put it in a sentence correctly. A verb is an action, lets say our verb is throw, does this sentence sound right? My brother throw the ball. No! See if the noun is plural don't add an s at the end of the verb, and if it's singular add s to the end of your verb.

JOHN ADAMS the 2nd president

John Adams was the 2nd president of the United States. Adams was born in the Massachusetts Colony Bay in 1735. And became president in 1797-1801. During the Revolutionary War he served France and Holland. And he even started peace. He was Vice President of George Washington.
The war between the French and British was causing trouble to the United States of America because we needed to get across the high seas. So Adams sent a couple of commissioners to France. But in the Spring of 1798 the word from the French Foreign Minister had refused unless they bribed. So Adams sent a peace treaty instead. And that's the end.
I hope you learned something and look for my new blog I'm posting tomorrow.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

On April 30, 1789 George Washington became president of the United States of America. He was born in 1732. In 1754 he fought in the French and Indian War.

So he became a Prime Mover in Philadelphia in1787.

THE EARLIEST AMERICANS PART 2

(There were no states back then)

Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. His goal was to the shortest way to get to Asia by sea.  In 1513 Spanish explorer Juan Ponce arrived in what is now Florida. He was hoping to find wealth and new lands. In 1534 Jacques Cartier came in search of riches. By the early 1700's the Atlantic coast had many settlers. People traveled westward looking for good lands. I hope you learned something today, by.

You probably know some of the earliest Americans like Christopher Columbus. When Columbus arrived he thought he had reached  a group of islands between Asia and Australia. Those islands were called East Indies. Early Americans came to this part of the world from different countries. Scientists think the first Americans came from Asia! However they got here Americans have been living over 11,000 years!!!!!!!!!!
