Tom Brady Should Come Back

 by Zach B

Tom Brady should come back from retirement because he only has 89,214 passing yards. He should sign a 4 game deal with the Chicago Bears, and throw 200 yards per game so he can hit 90,000 passing yards. After the 4 games he should retire again, so that the bears get there first hall of fame QB and are no longer a poverty franchise🤗 and then go on to BEAT THE GARBAGE BRONCOS IN THE SUPERBOWL🥱

This game is based on the best teams of their country, and the best teams of their country compete against each other.

Johnston football team

by Elmin V.

They play during the start of school up to fall if they make the playoffs they could have a chance to play in the finals and win the state championship game but they have some good varsity players that played there last year or are going to play their last year, they went to the playoffs after winning their last regular season game and they lost in the semifinals not making the finals,they will be a bit different because they will have different players for the non playing varsity players  from last year,, who did you think was going to make the finals? Johnston? I thought Johnston because they played ok having a record of 8-4 in 2022 they played really good tea,s like south east polk and ankeny also urbandale and more.

A Competitive Sport

by Samir S. 

To start off ,the “Champions League” is a soccer season in which several teams compete with each other to win the entire event. The Champions League happens every year and millions of people watch these soccer games. Right now FC Barcelona has the highest rank in the Champions League. All matches take place in europe. The newest match to this date ( February 23) is RB Leipzig vs Manchester City. It was 1-1. Many people care about the champions league mostly due to the amount of audience spectating the matches. It’s a very intense season due to the fact that most rankings are not what everyone expected. So far without Messi Barcelona is still the highest and best team in the league aside from PSG containing players such as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar Jr.(These don’t include the other legendary players. And yet we have to wait for the final ( Barcelona vs Real Madrid ).

Reality for these soccer players

But these rankings don’t compare to the actual skill of the players. Some teams get lucky or just practice harder to win even if they have better players. Practice does matter due to matches lost against the skilled teams. A lot of people compare the champions league to the premier league and sometimes even the World Cup. But we all know the World Cup is simply better. The average number of people who view the champions league is around 400,000,000! People. The champions league is one of the most important events in soccer. So please watch the champions league to experience the work these players put in.

Conclusion

In my opinion, I think Real Madrid is going to win this season. That’s because of their ranking and their good players. Either way they have players worth over 100 million dollars. So I think Real Madrid is definitely going to win this champions league.

Long before Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy, the biggest winner of this NFL season walked onto the field. Damar Hamlin came out to a rousing ovation during a pregame ceremony honoring the men and women who saved his life.Hamlin's third appearance of the week was the best feel-good moment on a day filled with many inspirational themes.Mahomes and Jalen Hurts put on a historic show in the first Super Bowl featuring two Black starting quarterbacks. Hurts was spectacular but Mahomes played through an ankle injury and rallied the Chiefs from a 10-point deficit for a 38-35 comeback win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.
