That his performance was reflected more during the fight that the result was Muhammad won. To know that Liston put all his effort and strength to try to win. But his effort did not get him to win because his opponent was better. Muhammad come in to this match wanting to win and was going to be tough. This motive he had over him was getting the first move to make him get ahead To get his opponent tried and give up, ''he hovered over Liston'' Another way he beat liston was that he kept on him and on him till he was exhausted.

Teaching Geopolitics
The Article about a teacher named Eric Nelson who was from Lake Forests he grew up with people in his family becoming teachers,'' i couldn't escape it''. Once he graduated from the University Of Wisconsin he went back to Michigan and earned his masters degree in education. The first day he assumed every kid loved to learn just like him but he was wrong. He saw kids that did not want to be successful and kids that wanted to be successful. So he thought about a solution to this problem to make learning fun to get everyone to get into it. He come up with a game called Geopolitics. The way you play is by picking any country in the world and know everything about the country you chose. Soon every student loved this idea and was picking two countries and finding everything out about the country. Every student was getting involved with the game because he made it fun to play. People were really starting to understand what they needed to learn for history. To show that if you make some boring subject that not many people like into a game people will love it.

short game
In the documentary of the Film Short Game was about young golfers ages 7 though 8 year old playing the game of golf. During the course of the film the parents were starting to act like coaches instead of being their parent. They got so caught up with golf they ended up not being like kids or having a social life. That they were married to the sport.All they did was train and train and trying to get better and better. They started to make it more of job then a fun game. It was only about being the best and winning as much as they could.They would start getting very upset and not being able to accept if they lost a game. Every hole they were on they were determined to get a good shot. The pressure of being a kid and a golfer was a hard thing for them to face. How if they played a bad game the parents would get angry. Also not remembering that they are only 7 years old that they wont be the best golfer at 7. How much they get into it to the point where they end up becoming competitive kids. Parents cant control themselves when their children looses. But to see how they will end up as adults in life. How this game will effect the rest of their lives. They think their lives need to be about winning.
My opinion about the film is parents need to encourage their kid and be positive weather they win or loose Also to really know if they like playing the game or that they were forced to. Showing how much of a job it becomes while playing golf. They don't learn how to be social and they have to be adults before they are kids. Maturing very fast and having not make any mistakes or they are punished. They play bad one day and they have to go out and practice before they do anything. Parents need to see that they need to have fun while playing. To not make it a job.
Logos: young kids playing the sport of golf at such a young age
Ethos: Do they really like that they do it?
Pathos: The game is more of a job instead of a fun game
deflategate scandal towards Brady
In the Article about the Scandal towards Quarterback Tom Brady on the New England patriots was a scandal about how during the AFC Championship game there were deflated footballs that went unnoticed. Halftime came along they saw the issue about the footballs and switched them out with new footballs. This did not effect how the Patriots preformed. They had the skill to just play a great game that they won fair and square by working hard and not giving up till the clock ran out. They were focused and set up good plays to win the game.
Tom Brady is not guilty for the accusations about the Wells Report due to lack of enough evidence from the Nfl officials. That all they have is cell phone records and people saying what they heard and what they have seen. The thing that Tom Brady did wrong was to lie about the whole scandal saying he was unclear about the football pressure and what is up to code for the Nfl standards.That he should have been honest saying that he apologizes for this misunderstand and that next season he will be aware of the issue. But he is sticking to lying which is not good to do. How can he go from lying about in the beginning to confessing about it now? That he needs to say something pretty good to get out of this and put it behind him and start fresh next season.
Tom Brady the start Quarterback was said to have known about this deflated football issue and was not aware about it at the start of the game. The result of the Scandal was in the start of next season he is suspended for 4 games.I Think that 2 games would be better because he is a star quarterback and it was a minor issue that has blown up. Because according to Wells report he didn't want to say anything about the problem even though he was been aware of it since he has first started playing football in the Nfl. But to have some evidence on him about phone calls they claimed to have seen on this phone to the Patriots equipment director for 20 minutes conversations. But when asked about it he claims that he wasn't talking to him. To say why does the Nfl really have a right to go through your personal life? The Nfl should not be going though any players cell phone. To find out that the only real evidence they have is Tom s cell phone records for this scandal. Wells just wants to get him out of hatred. To prove that their are Nfl players that have done awful things and Brady is punished for this and loosing playing time season. Nfl needs to have more evidence then just phone records.
A solution to the problem would be to just keep lying because who will really believe him if he really tells the truth? His image will make be looked upon but people will forget and he can get back to playing football. That he will learn from his mistake and continue to do what he does best in the Nfl.
