• Objective Summary:

The article is about the Eagles inquiring running back Darren Sproles. From the Saints for a fifth round draft pick.Also inquiring Nolan Carroll from the Dolphins.

• Connection:
  Darren Sproles and Lesean Mccoy aka "Shady" are two of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL.Darren Sproles breaking the all-time record in 2011.And Lesean McCoy the record for most yards in a game and in season. Sproles is ten years older than McCoy so he could mentor him or give him suggestions.Chip Kelly likes his team to be very fast-paced as we could see when he was the coach of the Oregon Ducks.So he will accommodate players that he thinks will help him achieve that.

• How does this event/article relate to what we’re reading/doing in your classes?

• Reaction: I was surprised when i heard we were getting two former Saints Malcolm Jenkins,and Darren Sproles was being dropped by the New Orleans Saints,and picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles.Darren Sproles is a very dynamic player and a great asset to any team he goes to.And with the fast paced offense the Eagles use to run their offense Sproles would fit in perfectly.Also they were able to pick up former Dolphins play Nolan Carroll.

• Take a position on the issue in the article.

I gave the Eagles a round of applause for taking advantage of the Saints dropping Sproles because many NFL teams were looking to add him.The Eagles got to him first so they were able to add him to their team.

• How do you feel about this event?

I love the Eagles they are my favorite team.And us getting new accommodations like Darren Sproles,Nolan Carroll are great for our team.I think the two will have no difficulty fitting into the Eagles offensive and defensive scheme.

• How does this event affect you?

I have been a Eagles fan for years and i think that how we did 2012-13 season.We will do ten times better this year.Because of our new accommodations,and the draft picks we could pick up for the 2013-14 season will help us enhance our plans for making it to the Super Bowl.

Current Event 4

• Objective Summary: This is about the Chicago Bulls NBA basketball team signing Jimmy Fredette. How they bought him out of his contract with the Sacramento Kings.Also how him will be a great fit for the the team.

• Connection: Many teams are in the NBA are in the rebuilding stage.Which means they are trying to get new players to fit in with the star players that are already on the team.This process could take maybe 2,3,or 10 years it just depends.

• How does this event/article relate to what we’re reading/doing in your classes? It pertains to what we do in class by using the word build.We try to do at our school is build confidence and also a great career opportunity.

• Reaction: I understand what Jimmy Fredette means when he says that he wants to be on a winning team.He has been with Sacramento for three years until the Bulls signed him.He just wants to win a Championship like most players in the NBA.I feel like he will be a great asset to the team because he is a great all-around player and very hard working.The Bulls look for players with this characteristics to help injured MVP Derrick Rose when he comes back from his injury.This will Rose not have to play so many minutes and take some of the weight off of his shoulders.This article affects me because i am a big Bulls fan and to see that we are taking advantage of the opportunities that are available for us makes me very happy to be a Bulls fan.We play with a "never give up" kind of way.So we need need players that's gonna do the same.
