Payton’s life in high school

Although he is still considered to be the best running back in the history of the NFL, he suffered a lot when he was young. In his childhood, he was never a good football player as he had been living under the shadow of his elder brother Eddie. As a result, he never determined to have a career in football when he was young. In his ninth grade, he joined the track team as a long jumper and played drums in the school band. He did his best to avoid the football team because Eddie was a star running back in the team.

However, he was invited to have a try in the school football team. Then, Payton began to play football. His decision to play football at that moment changed his life totally. If he turned the head coach at that time, he would have no chance to be one great running back in the NFL. It would be impossible for him to lead the Chicago Bears to win Super Bowl in Walter Payton jersey in the year of 1985. Besides his playing football, he gained average scores in his studying just as his parents had asked him to do.

Is Peterson still No. 1 running back in the NFL?

Adrian Peterson, the Minnesota Vikings running back, should be honored as the best running back in the NFL today because he has been on the list of the fantasy football for a couple of years. But nowadays there is debate on which is better between Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson. For some football fans, Peterson is better while others hold the idea that Johnson is better as he fumbles much less. In my opinion, to evaluate a running back, we have to take his size, power, speed, durability and versatility into consideration. According to Sporting News, Peterson is better as he has a slight edge on Chris Johnson as he is one runner like a bull.

Considering his power and huge size, he does have the advantage over Johnson. In spite that Chris Johnson has tremendous speed and great body control, he loses to Peterson in his physical size. But we have to acknowledge that Johnson is not much worse than Peterson. Although Peterson fumbles a lot in Adrian Peterson jersey, he is doing an excellent job on the field since his rookie year in the NFL.

Romo’s dating with Jessica Simpson

As common people, we often hope to get all news about the celebrity. The Dallas Cowboys’ star quarterback Tony Romo is also our topic in daily life because of his greatness on the field. Last year, we wondered what was going on between him and Jessica, one singer and actor. Before he began to date with Jessica, he once associated with Carrie Underwood, one country music singer. In November 2007, Romo began dating singer and actress Jessica Simpson. However, she is said to be cursed as the Cowboys lost their game to the Eagles, which game Jessica attended.

In the following time, Jessica was discussed a lot because whenever she appeared at the game, the Cowboys would lose their game. For some reason unclearly, Romo was said to break up with Jessica. Neither of them would care the time they have spent together. They took vacation and did sports in Tony Romo jersey. However, when love was gone, nothing can make up. It is really a pity for them to get apart as many of fans hope them to be engaged. But the feelings were over; both of them could do nothing to save them from living that way.

Tebow new Nike sneakers to be released soon

As EA Sports’ NCAA Football 11 video has been released, there is another storm taken by Tim Tebow. Now Nike and EA Sports collaborated with Tim Tebow to unveil Tebow tsneakers with an EA Sports logo on the blue tongue and the official NCAA 11 logo on the forefoot strap to celebrate the event of the release of the new video. On the side and heel of the shoe, you can find the word of Promise and the date of Sept. 27, 2008 to indicate that Tebow can finish his transition this season.

Besides the entire above mentioned events, Tebow may also feel happy as Tim Tebow jerseys is said to be the No. 1 jersey from April to June, which is said to be the evidence of his greatness by his fans. However, they should never forget the example of Jay Culter. When Jay was traded to Chicago from Denver, his jersey also was the best selling jersey in the season of 2009. But what happened then? For this reason, just keep patient until the start of the games. Only until the beginning of the games can we tell whether Tebow will let us down or not.

Is it likely for Tebow’s shoe to be the next Air Jordans?

It is a fact that Tim Tebow has not play any games on the NFL field since he was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the first round. However, he has taken the NFL by storm. His autograph is a kind of Midas touch to football memorabilia. And Tim Tebow jerseys has already been a top seller in the past three months. In the sports marketing world, Tim Tebow is already making monster waves. It is said that if the Broncos can do the same thing like what Tebow has done off the field, it would be very easy for the team to win the Super Bowl this season.

However, nothing can be translated from the jersey’s sales number. In the year of 2009, Jay Culter, the former Broncos and current Chicago Bears quarterback had the No. 1 selling NFL jersey. But in that season, the Bears ended up 7-9 and third in the NFC North. In weeks, Nike will begin to sell Tebow’s new shoe, which is made in a blue-and-orange scheme. Will the rule be exception to Tebow’s new shoe? Fans in Denver and Florida hope it will be an exception as they do hope the team and the player can get more this season.

Redskins’ Haynesworth has shed 32 pounds

Do you think it is necessary for one football player to lose weight? I am not sure about this question as I have no idea about the meaning for one player to do that. Personally speaking, I am not on this side. But it is a fact that Albert Haynesworth, the Washington Redskins defensive tackle, has trimmed down and plans to be in top shape for the start of the team’s training camp that is to be held later this month. According to Haynesworth’s trainer, Haynesworth has shed 32 pounds, which is the reason why he missed the Redskins’ offseason activities.

According to Smith, the player aims to make his critics on the field in 2010 silent. Smith also said that Haynesworth never hopes to let anyone down although he is very business-minded. He could not stand everyone around him or not are talking about him. However, I think he is good enough. He has been a two-time All Pro in Redskins jerseys. Although he has disillusioned with the team’s switch to a 3-4 defense, he will be present for the start of camp on July 29. It seems that Albert won’t find another team in the near future.

What can we learn from Walter Payton?

As he was the best running back in the history of the NFL, Walter Payton has been remembered in our minds for his playing style and excellent playing in the Chicago Bears. For the Chicago fans, there was one more thing. It is that their team only won Super Bowl under the leading of Walter Payton, who was picked as the Hall of Fame running back in the year of 1993. To be honest, there must be many for us to learn form Payton as he was successful in his football career. In fact, he also gained great success in daily life. He set one good example for football player in the NFL.

Walter Payton taught me that it is important for us to develop our career at our best. For my father, one football fan of his days, Payton was his ideal for he was always kind to people around him. He would wave his hands to them and simile to them. To help people in need, he did all he could at his best. Different from his playing in Walter Payton jerseys, he was real sweet to anyone in everyday life. Learning so much from him, we have to take all that into action.
