2014年12月23日Change NFL Locker Room Culture
This whole deal about the NFL changing locker room culture is just a way to help deflect future lawsuits. I get that. That makes sense. It’s cynical of course, but it makes sense.
Because if the NFL if anybody seriously believes NFL locker room culture will change because of a few one hour sessions led by a clich motivational speaker, they need to have one of those operations where surgeons drill into their head and remove that virus that causes potentially fatal na would be much more effective, legally, if the NFL just made the players sign a document promising not to bully anybody or make fun of anybody who is different. Just make sure they sign the non snicker clause and check to see if their fingers are crossed.
Let’s see, so you want ruthless hitters on the field who magically change into diaper changers in the locker room. You want a guy who gets so worked up on the field he’s foaming at the mouth and shouting obscenities and then comes into the locker room and compliments the linebacker coach on the subtle shade of his loafers.
You want a guy who has been trained for explosive aggression to look for signs of insecurity in teammates Cheap NFL Jerseys Paypal and to whisper to them: "If you need to talk, I’m here for you."
I got news for you, and anyone who has ever spent time in a locker room will back me up here. The locker room is not a place for progressive, enlightened thought. It is not a place where tolerance and wisdom dwells. It is not a place where the ills of society can be debated, where social experiments may lead to cheap nfl jerseys a better, well mannered society.
The impetus behind the program stems from the Jonathan cheap jerseys Martin Richie Incognito bullying scandal. Hard to believe a 312 pound guy can be bullied, but it turns out he can.
Again, I go back to those who have experienced locker room cultures. Talk to almost any football player and he will remember similar wholesale jerseys scenarios: a coach wants a team leader, a particularly aggressive guy, to motivate, to toughen up a player who may be soft but who has ability.
This is not an unusual situation. What is different about the Martin Incognito situation is that the Miami Dolphins let it get out of hand. There were no adults around to supervise the kids.
Most of these situations are handled quietly behind the scenes, but this one toxic situation in a hundred thousand leads to an extreme, and now everybody has to go on Oprah and talk about their feelings.
Of course, the NFL and everybody else is most likely thinking of the Rams’ Michael Sam, the first openly gay player on an NFL roster, and the treatment he will receive.
That’s why Wade Davis, the former NFL player who came out as gay after he retired, is part of the program.
This part makes sense. It’s only a token effort designed to ward off legal liability, and it probably won’t make much difference, but it’s a start and at least the players can see a gay football player looks like pretty much any other football player.

high school team has seven
2014年12月23日4 Defense In Football
The NFL has always been a "follow me" league. When something Blake Bortles Authentic Jersey works, other teams are quick to latch on to it and it begins to sweep the league. This is true with the Pittsburgh’s 3 4 defense which led the Steelers to the Super Bowl title in 2009.
Where the 3 4 Comes FromThe 3 4 was originated at the collegiate level at the University of Oklahoma in the 1940s. The Miami Dolphins were the first to bring the 3 4 to the professional ranks and won a Super Bowl running the defense in the 1970s.
From there the defense grew and currently 18 teams including the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers run or will be running the 3 4 defense as their base defense.
Setting up the 3 4 DefenseThe 3 4 defense formation is as its name suggests. Three down linemen with four linebackers lined up behind them. Two cornerbacks Blake Bortles Kids Jersey cover the outside receivers and a strong and free safety make up the middle of the defensive backfield.
In the 3 4 set up the front seven players are really the key to the defense. The front three defensive linemen are made up of two defensive ends and nose guard. In the 3 4 defense, the nose guard nflbearsofficial.com/Nike-Lance-Briggs-Jersey.html needs to be a player that can clog up the middle.
The linebackers in the 3 4 defense are different than linebackers found in the more common 4 3 defense. Generally, one of the linebackers will lineup on the line of scrimmage. Usually this is one of the outside linebackers. That means the linebackers must be big enough to take on offensive tackles while at the same time be quick enough to cover receivers in the pass route. Finding that type of linebacker is the key to having a good 3 4 defense. Two examples of the prototypical 3 4 linebacker are Derrick Thomas and Lawrence Taylor.
Advantage of the 3 4 DefenseThe main advantage of the 3 4 defense is its linebackers and canopy effect they give to the line of scrimmage. Based 5 yards back from the play, linebackers can read the flow of the play and give pursuit. The defensive lineman are really there to take up blockers and clog the running lanes leaving the linebackers free to make the play.
The 3 4 defense also can confuse offenses as at different times a different linebacker can be lined up on the line of scrimmage to rush the passer. A number of blitz packages are also available to defensive coordinators as blitzes can come from any of the eight spots on in the defensive backfield.
Disadvantages of the 3 4 DefenseThe 3 4 defense really is Khalil Mack Black Jersey a personnel based defense. If a team does not have the linebackers who have the speed and size needed or defensive linemen who cannot take up blockers , the 3 4 is very vulnerable. The result of these situations is teams playing a base 3 4 but through most of the game actually running a 4 3 defense with a linebacker used as the fourth down lineman.
The 3 4 defense is also susceptible to the inside rush. With just a nose guard to plug the middle, the inside rushing game many NFL teams use as a base offensive play. Teams running the 3 4 defense need to have a nose guard that can occupy 2 to 3 players on every down to free up the middle linebackers. In the league right now, finding a true nose guard like that is difficult because of the emphasis on speed play in the college ranks is producing fewer large bodies to be run stoppers.
Running the 3 4 Outside the NFLThe 3 4 defense is best run at the professional level due to the responsibilities put on the linemen and the linebackers. Unless a college or high school team has seven players that tweeners (or players who could play defensive line or play linebacker), the 3 4 is not really an Khalil Mack Kids Jersey option.
Also with the quick play and misdirection offenses appearing more and more in the collegiate and high school levels, reading those offenses while dealing with the responsibilities of the 3 officialbrownsfootball.com/WOMENS-JOHNNY-MANZIEL-JERSEY.html 4 can be hard for players below the professional level to handle.
High Schools and college players are probably better adapted to running other base defenses including the 4 3, 3 3 5 or the 4 4 defenses where responsibilities are clear cut and do not vary like the 3 4.

2014年12月23日World Cup Stadium in Manaus Highlights Out of Control Costs
Manaus, Brazil, is a city of nearly 2 million people, surrounded by millions of square miles of rainforest. It had its heyday during Brazil’s late 19th century rubber boom, and was revived in the 1960s by a military dictatorship worried about retaining control of the Amazon. Today, it is best known as a free trade zone, where businesses can receive a host of tax incentives for manufacturing products, and as a starting point for ecotourists to explore the jungle.
For a few weeks in June, the city will also be one of the homes of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. And that puts it at the epicenter of Brazil’s debate over whether hosting one of the world’s premier sporting events is worth the cost.
According to current estimates, the price tag for Brazil’s World Cup will be about $11.5 billion. That amount, combined with the bill for the 2016 Summer Olympics, which are scheduled to take place in Rio de Janeiro, has many Brazilians questioning whether their Robbie Gould Jersey nation might have been better off spending its money on something else. Last year, the country was wracked by days of protests during the Confederations Cup, a pre World Cup tournament, with protesters holding signs that read
"Health and Education, Not the Cup." "People are going hungry and the government builds stadiums," Eleuntina Scuilgaro, an 83 year old protester,
[GALLERY: Cartoons on the Economy]
Perhaps no World Cup site exemplifies the extravagance of the tournament more than Manaus. Four games will take place in the city including a match between the United States and Portugal on June 22 located 900 miles up the Amazon River. Manaus is the only city in Brazil’s vast Amazonas state to play host, and its distance from the other host cities will cause some teams to log thousands of miles during the month long tournament. will travel nearly 9,000 miles just for its three first round games, according to an analysis by the online publication Quartz.) Most travel sites explicitly warn against attempting to reach the city by road.
The games will be played in the 42,000 seat Arena Amazonia, built specifically for the World Cup for about $300 million. Brazilian officials portray the stadium as an investment in developing Manaus’ economy. But according to experts, there’s good reason to doubt that the stadium which won’t house a top flight Brazilian soccer team once the World Cup is over can drive development or tourism.
"There will be [another] World Cup four years from now, and everyone who is a World Cup tourist will have forgotten about Manaus and Brazil, and they’ll be traveling off to Russia," explains Dennis Coates, an economics professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Plus, he says, Manaus is dealing with stiff competition from other sites within Brazil: "S Paolo, Rio those areas are always going to be bigger tourist destinations, and there’s not a lot Manaus can do, and there’s not very much that a stadium can do, to change that effect."
A vast amount of economic research, in fact, shows that sports stadiums do very little to boost tourism and economic development or employment and incomes. And the same results are found from the World Cup as a whole, even though organizers always promote the economic benefits of the event during the bidding process.
There are myriad reasons for this outcome, including consistent budget overruns, underestimated security costs and the reality that the tournament simply replaces spending tourists and locals would have done even in the absence of the http://www.giantsofficialnflonline.com/Nike-Trumaine-Mcbride-Jersey.html World Cup. In fact, Moody’s Investors Service concluded that the World Cup "will have little lasting impact for most rated sectors in Brazil." "Some hope hosting the World Cup will help lift Brazil out of economic slowdown, but the associated economic activity ultimately pales before the country’s $2.2 trillion economy," said Moody’s Investor Services Senior Analyst Barbara Mattos
in a statement.
The tournament comes at a time when Brazil’s economy is in flux. Over the last few years, economic growth has slowed dramatically, dropping from 7.5 percent in 2010 to 0.9 percent in 2012, and rising only moderately to 2.3 percent in 2013. At the same time, over the last decade and a half, Brazil has seen poverty and income inequality reduced dramatically, according to statistics from the World Bank. "The government’s been so successful and the economy has been so successful, that I think they’ve raised expectations. A lot of poor people and working class people and lower middle class people think ’Everything’s been going really well. Why are we wasting our money on this? Shouldn’t we put more money into the hospitals, the schools, the roads?’" says University of Massachusetts history professor Joel Wolfe.
[READ: www.nflbearsofficial.com/Nike-Lance-Briggs-Jersey.html Red Carding Waste and Corruption]
The stadium in Manaus also has an unfortunate historical parallel. "It didn’t matter that almost no one from Manaus had heard of Puccini or that more than half the members of a visiting opera troupe eventually died of yellow fever," wrote Grann. "This was the apotheosis of the rubber boom."
Manaus’ stadium has also received scrutiny due to the deaths of three workers that occurred on the site, which is more construction deaths than occurred during all preparations for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Overall, at least eight workers have been killed during Brazil’s World Cup preparations.
With those downsides, why host the tournament at all? Part of the goal for Brazil was to step onto the world stage in a big way, much like Russia and China did when they used the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, respectively, for this purpose. "It’s all about announcing to the world ’we are a major player,’" says Wolfe. "Brazil is constantly trying to assert that it’s Robbie Gould Youth Jersey arrived, economically, culturally, socially [and] politically."
And there are the effects of hosting a big sporting event that don’t show Jared Allen Women Jersey up on the balance sheet. For instance, a study of the 2006 World Cup in Germany done by economist Wolfgang Maennig did not find large impacts on employment or income, but did find a significant
"feelgood" effect for the German population. In essence, he found that playing host made Germans happy and helped them feel better about themselves. "Self esteem, happiness, this is what the economy is Jared Allen Navy Jersey for. if the World Cup makes people happy, we should invest in a World Cup," says Maennig. "But we should stop pretending that hosting a World Cup will make us rich. It’s not true."
So it may be that Brazil the most successful World Cup nation in history, with five titles has only purchased an extravagant excuse to have a good time while watching "the beautiful game." It remains to be seen whether the generally soccer mad Brazilians will think that’s enough.

Yawning when others yawn,
2014年12月23日Why http://www.nflbearsofficial.com/Nike-Robbie-Gould-Jersey.html Is Yawning Contagious
Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of empathy and a form of social bonding. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism are half as likely to catch yawns. In the most severe cases, they never do.
Yawning might eventually help doctors diagnose developmental disorders. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the subtle ways that people Brandon Marshall Jersey communicate and connect.
"Emotional contagion seems to be a primal instinct http://www.nflbearsofficial.com/Nike-Jared-Allen-Jersey.html that binds us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in clinical psychology at the University of Connecticut, Storrs. "Yawning may be part of that."
Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.
"The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that unconscious emotional linkage to those around them," she said.
"The big thing people try to figure out in infant development is how we become humans who understand that humans have minds that are different from ours," she added. "Autistic people never sort of seem to understand that."
Fetuses begin yawning in the womb as early as 11 weeks after Matt Forte Women Jersey conception, said Robert Provine, a developmental neuroscientist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
For reasons scientists still can’t explain, spontaneous yawning continues throughout life. (Studies have shot down theories about yawning to bring in more oxygen.) In fact, all vertebrates yawn, including snakes and lizards.
Contagious yawning is a different story. Only humans, chimpanzees and possibly dogs have been shown Matt Forte Youth Jersey to do it.
Like contagious laughter and contagious crying, scientists have theorized that contagious yawning is a shared experience that promotes social bonding. Specifically, Helt said, it could diffuse stress after Brandon Marshall Kids Jersey a period of being on high alert and spread a feeling of calm through a group.

2014年12月23日What http://www.nflbearsofficial.com/Nike-Matt-Forte-Jersey.html Do Football Lance Briggs Authentic Jersey Players Eat
Football players eat plenty of healthful food, at least if they want to be at their best on game day. Although some players and coaches fall into the "bigger is better" camp, Pittsburgh Steelers consultant Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, says it’s essential that football players eat the right foods in the right amounts. In her work with the Steelers, as well as with college and high school teams, Bonci emphasizes the performance benefits of good nutrition, such as improved quickness or increased stamina, something players can more easily relate to than calorie counting or proper nutrition in general. They might burn 500 to 800 calories during an in season practice. So they need to eat and drink well and often. Players are advised to eat five or six meals per day, which includes two or three snacks in between meals. A lineman might need to eat more than 4,500 calories per day to stay at optimal strength. Under a sample diet plan formulated by college strength and fitness coach Bryce Karasiak, a wide receiver might eat about 3,400 calories per day as compared for 4,600 for a lineman. Karasiak lists specific foods with the amount of calories in Lance Briggs Women Jersey his meal plans so players know exactly how many calories they are Trumaine McBride Kids Jersey consuming. Instead of depriving college players of all fast foods and sweets, Karasiak recommends an occasional treat.
At training camp, you should drink enough fluids to restore any weight lost during Trumaine McBride Jersey two a day workouts. Drink water and sports drinks early and often to prevent dehydration and eat carbs to recover before the second session. At pregame meals, you want to eat low fat foods because fats take longer to digest. Turkey subs, pasta, waffles, eggs and lean steak might be on the menu. Right after a game, it is essential to drink lots of water or sports drinks in order for you body to recover more quickly. Post game meals might include steak or salmon because a higher fat content is OK nflbearsofficial.com/Nike-Brandon-Marshall-Jersey.html after a game.
