Football, a less Popular Game in South Asia

March 22nd, 2011 No comments

The world famous sport of soccer is not popular game, when it is about the sports activities of this region. No doubt, according to daily news sport there are a lot of regional and international games which are quite famous among masses. But still there are a few games which represent the true gaming capacity of the South Asians. To name a few, cricket, hockey and other regional and domestic level games are the main stream sports.

Moreover, South Asians are typically brained washed in the

ir colonial era, as they love to play cricket in their leisure time. Spending a lot of time on cricket has become the hall mark of the people of Sub Continent and cricket has become the ultimate time pass for them, as daily news sports only depict such popular sports.

Similarly, there are not opportunities for those guys who are into playing other games like hockey, basketball or the world famous, Football. No matter what happens, they follow the popular trends, whether its advertisement, ente

rtainment or social sector development for the sporting activities. Cricket is the only game in the lime light.

Only thing which can change this mind set is the absolute media campaigns, which could overcome the typical mindset of South Asians. Similarly if the national teams of these countries take part in the international events of soccer, then it can bounce back the deep impact of the most famous game, cricket. Unfortunately, South Asians are not event taking it as a serious note to suppor

t their national teams in such mega events so far.

On the same time daily news sports focuses that government level intervention can play a pivotal role for the betterment and equilibrium of different sports. If the state government takes an initiative, it will benefit a lot in terms of international investment and revenue generation. Similarly countries could easily represent themselves in the main stream world events. Luckily the recent Soccer World Cup played a vital role in enhancing the value of this game in the minds of general people.

Furthermore, if soccer is affiliated with different campaigns and associated events, then it can help a lot in maintaining a balance. Currently all motivation is associated with the game of cricket which is quite awful.

The misery of the sport of football can be noticed in terms of lack of interest and coordination. Moreover, the whole responsibility cannot be placed on the shoulders of the state governments indeed. Citizen has to do the same, if they are not showing their keen interest in the world famous sport of soccer, then how government could focus its huge investment plans for the betterment of the sport.

On the other hand responsibility also lies on the media as well, if it can broadcast the daily news sport, then it will be more appreciating in terms of supporting this world famous sport. If media is able enough to launch a good media campaign in favor of this fame game, then results will be sky high.

Biography of 1973 Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti

February 22nd, 2011 No comments

John Cappelletti is a former running back from the National Football League. Cappelleti was born on the 9th of August in 1952 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He grew up in Pennsylvania and attended college at Penn State where he would start his college football career.

Cappelletti had just two years of play as a running back at Penn State, but in his short career he made a big statement with his play on the field. In his first year he rushed for more than 1100 yards and ran into the end zon

e for 12 touchdowns. While his first year was very successful, it was nothing compared to his second year playing at Penn State.

Cappelletti dominated his competition throughout the season in his senior year and rushed for more than 1500 yards over the course of the season. Not only did he rush for 1500 yards, but he also managed to score 17 touchdowns on the season. His performance brought him a number of awards after the season. The awards include the Maxwell Award, College Football Player of

the Year award, Walter Camp Award and the coveted Heisman Trophy.

When Cappelletti won the Heisman Trophy he gave a speech that would become one of the most special moments in the history of sports. In his speech he dedicated his award to his brother Joey. Joey was dying of childhood leukemia. Joey passed away a couple of years later on April 8, 1976.

Cappelletti’s tremendous success in college brought a lot of interest to professional teams and he was drafted in the 1st round of the NFL Dr

aft. The Los Angeles Rams took Cappelletti with the 11th pick in the draft.

Unfortunately, Cappelletti never panned out to be the same type of runner that we has in as a player in college. While in college he averaged over 5 yards per carry. While in the NFL he never had a season that he carried the ball a significant amount of times where he averaged at least 4 yards per carry. His best season in terms of yardage came in his 3rd season when he played as a fullback. He ran for nearly 700 yards on 3.9 yards per carry. He also caught 30 passes for 300 yards in that season.

Over the course of his career Cappelletti rushed for 2951 yards at 3.6 yards per carry. He had 24 rushing touchdowns and 4 receiving touchdowns to go along with 1233 receiving yards.

Cappelletti played in the NFL from 1974-1983, but the greatest successes in his football career came while still in college. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1993. Joe Paterno once said that Cappelletti was better than any football player that he had ever coached.

Cappelletti finished his career in San Diego, California but now lives in Laguna Nigel, California and is married with 4 sons. His wife’s name is Bety and she is coincidentally the daughter of another former Heisman Trophy winner named Alan Ameche.

NFL Championship Game Reviews

January 25th, 2011 No comments

Green Bay over Chicago.  The Packers came out smoking hot scoring on their first drive then survived a late charge by the Bears to advance to the Super Bowl.  Aaron Rodgers was almost flawless in the first half.  He quickly lead the Packers down the field with pin point passes, on the intermediate pass routes, then scored the first touchdown on a boot leg run.  This drive served notice that the Packers were the better team and the Bears would have to play their best game to beat them.

NFL Wild Card Weekend

January 10th, 2011 No comments

Seattle over New Orleans.  No one saw this coming and I mean no one.   The Seahawks scored one of the biggest upsets in NFL playoff history by defeating the defending NFL champs.  Matt Hasselbeck played like he found the fountain of youth lighting up the Saints defense with four touchdown passes.  Marshawn Lynch clinched the game and become an instant playoff legend with a tackle breaking 67 yard touchdown run over seemingly the entire Saint defense.  The Seahawks showed offense fire

power that had not been there all year.  Hasselbeck was on the money overcoming a early interception. They ran the ball effectively and the Seahawks won even without getting any big plays out of return specialist Leon Washington.  The Saints scored enough to win but on defense they were inept in every way.  The defining moment was when Tracy Porter who scored the game clinching interception in the Super Bowl was stiff armed into the field turf during the Lynch touch down run.  The Saints whi

s.  The Jets overcame a hype up Mark Sanchez who seem to overthrew wide open receivers all game long, and went old school in the second half and pounded the Colts into the ground and keeping the ball away from Peyton Manning.  The key to last second comeback besides the game winning kick was Antonio Cromartie’s kickoff return to mid field.  And Sanchez’s back shoulder pass to Braylon Edwards to make the field goal attempt shorter.  Their defense which has been exploited in few games recently kept the Colts and Peyton Manning off balance for most of the game, except for the one long touchdown pass.  Darrelle Revis held down his island holding Colts standout receiver Reggie Wayne to a measly one catch and one yard.  The Colts just didn’t have enough at the end.  Too many injuries throughout the season finally caught up to them.  At the end they were playing with Manny, Moe and Jack on defense.  They wore down in the second half and could not stop the run.   Manning played well playing mistake free football, but the key for he and the Colts was not getting one more first down before Vinatari’s kick to take off more time off the clock.  One minute was too much time with a defense loaded with guys recently signed off the street.

Baltimore blasting Kansas City.  In the only blow out of the weekend Joe Flacco and the typical Ravens defense outplayed and outclassed the not ready of the big boy football Kansas City Chiefs.  Flacco who is not quite an elite quarterback moved well and the pocket avoiding the relentless pass rush of the Chiefs and found a go too tight end Todd Heap all game long.  The Ravens controlled the clock for over two thirds of the game, keeping their defense off the field.  When the Ravens defense was on the field they created turnovers and made Matt Cassel wish he was back in college as a back up quarterback.  The  Chiefs kept it close but could never get untracked outside of a 41 touchdown run by Jamaal Charles.  They never found a way to cover tight end Todd Heap.  Basically they were boys playing against the men and it was no contest.

Green Bay edging Philadelphia.  The Packers lead by Aaron Rodgers error free football and rookie James Starks (who is he really?) gained over 120 yards helped the Packers defeat the Eagles.  Rodgers played his usual solid game, he didn’t force the ball down field, his late second quarter pass to James Jones that was dropped could have blown the Eagles out at the point, changed the momentum of the game but he and the Packers recovered.  This biggest surprise was  the new found running game that has been missing for most of the season.  Starks was elusive, and more important did not fumble.  The Packers defense lead by Cly Matthews and Charles Woodson played it’s typical great game and put the clamps on the explosive Eagle offense for most of the night.  Tramon Williams last second interception was the clincher, but it was a game saving ankle tackle by linebacker De

The New England Patriots have opened at online sportsbooks as a +200 betting favorite to win in Super Bowl XLV odds after going 14-2 in the regular season.

oice. Baltimore could have the best betting value in NFL predictions as they were equal to Pittsburgh’s 12-4 record but lost the AFC North tie breaker. The Ravens can run, play excellent defense and Joe Flacco has emerged as a top shelf QB.

Philadelphia faded some down the stretch after looking “Super” for most of the season with Michael Vick at QB. Green Bay may prove to be a strong value as well in Super Bowl odds as they have an outstanding defense. The Packers problem is a running game

that has not been consistent as the burden falls on QB Aaron Rodgers. Indianapolis remains a one man team with Peyton Manning as their ground attack and defense are not championship caliber. While New England looks unbeatable right now in NFL predictions, they also looked that way in 2007 when they failed to finish their quest for an undefeated season.

NFL Week 16: Cowboys vs Cardinals Odds – Christmas Day

December 24th, 2010 No comments

When the NFL released the 2010 schedule last spring it was hoped that the Christmas Night special between the Dallas Cowboys vs Arizona Cardinals would have plenty of playoff implications but that is not at all the case as the two last place teams will hook up in Arizona on Saturday night for a game that can be seen on NFL Network at 7:35pm EST. Online sportsbooks have opened with Dallas as a 7-point favorite in NFL predictions for the Christmas night match-up vs Arizona with an over/under

betting total of 45. Sportsbooks also favor the Cowboys -290 in money line NFL odds for week 16 vs the Cardinals +245 for Saturday’s game.

Dallas does seem to have something to play for in NFL week 16 odds as interim head coach Jason Garrett is doing his best to earn the full time gig. Dallas has paid out in NFL predictions for 5 of the 6 games that Garrett has coached while winning 4 of them straight up. Last week the Cowboys scored a 33-30 win over Washington although they failed to cover t

he spread as 9.5-point favorites in NFL odds. The Cowboys went over the total for the 12th time in 14 games and for the 9th consecutive game. Dallas ranks 7th in scoring offense but next to last in scoring defense. Tony Romo is out for the year at QB but Jon Kitna has improved under Garrett and has a 91.4 QB rating with a 15/10 TD/INT ratio.

yoff team last year and a Super Bowl team in 2008 but the retirement of future Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner has proven to be too much to overcome. The release of Matt Leinart right before the season started, now looks to have been a bad and hasty move as the Cardinals rank next to last in passing with 3 different QB’s seeing action. If there is a positive note for Arizona heading into NFL week 16 odds as touchdown underdogs at home, it is that the Cardinals are 5-1 vs the Cowboys for their last six games at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

I know this not what the good people of Minnesota wants to hear, but it’s time for Zygi Wifi to move his team to Los Angeles.  The Metrodome was knocked down by Mother Nature and does not look like it’s getting up any time soon.  It is common knowledge that the Metrodome was dark, dingy and outdated before it was caved in with snow.  Now it is not even safe too.  Not to mention the lease expires after the 2011 season.  It’s time to make the move.  Do not let the local legislature

Please don’t think about using Los Angeles as leverage, which has worked before like for Arizona and more recently Indianapolis, because if you haven’t noticed there other teams have major stadium issues, although not as bad as you.   San Diego, St. Louis and even Jacksonville come to mind.  Maybe even Buffalo too.  AEG and Magic will not wait for you.  If you pass on this opportunity you will be out in the cold, literally.  You think Monday night’s game was cold.  That is only the start.  TFC field maybe your permanent home and you will have no longer have Los Angeles use as leverage.  By the way these current Vikings played like they wanted nothing to with cold, and old school Vikings like Carl Eller, Alan Paige and Fran Tarkington will not discover the fountain of youth to play again.  Minnesota would become the official Siberia of the NFL.

These are your choices.  You can be the nice guy, stay in Minnesota, play in a packed college stadium or  maybe a patched up with spit and gum Metrodome, with a almost zero chance legislature builds you a need new flat in the couple of decades.  Or you can be the most vilified man this side of Art Modell by leaving Minnesota and moving to Los Angeles playing in a billion dollar palace complete with suites and all the goodies.  It is your choice.
