Will NFL Teams "Suck for Luck"?

     Most of the time, when you are bad, nothing good comes out of it. However, in the NFL, the worst team gets to have the number one draft pick for the next year. Who is next year's projected number one pick? Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. Sports analysts have made a mock campaign, in where they say who is in the "running" for drafting Andrew Luck. Basically, the candidates are the worst teams in the NFL. This movement, under the names "Suck for Luck Campaign" or "The Andrew Luck Sweepstakes", has sports analysts wondering if NFL teams are actually losing in order to get a higher draft slot.
     Andrew Luck, who was projected to be the number one pick in last year's draft, decided to stay at Stanford for his redshirt junior year. Luck was also the runner up for the Heisman Trophy, the award for the best player in college football, last season.
     One of the front runners, the Indianapolis Colts, are winless, and without their star quarterback, Peyton Manning, they are in dire need of a good quarterback. Some other teams that are in the running for the worst are the Minnesota Vikings, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Miami Dolphins. Maybe they can go from zero to hero with a little Luck.

Red Sox Blow Wild Card Lead in the Final Stretch

The Boston Red Sox were up 9 games on the Wild Card spot going into September. However, losing seventeen out of their last twenty-two games did not help them pull away at all. On September 26, the Red Sox played the Baltimore Orioles. In the sixth inning of the game, Robert Andino of the Orioles hit a ball to Jacoby Ellsbury in the outfield. Ellsbury completely missed the ball, giving Andino a 3RBI inside the park home run to give the Orioles a lead they would not lose. This game tied the Red Sox with the Tampa Bay Rays for the Wild Card spot.

Tony Romo's Tough And Gots Luck

Tony Romo on the field.
     Tony Romo played on Monday and the Cowboys won 18-16 against the Redskins at Arlington, Texas.  There is an article on it at this Sports Illustrated website here.  I thought Romo shouldn't of played Monday because he was already injured.  Romo had a punctured lung and a cracked rib.  If you injure an injury even more, then the injury will last longer.  I know Romo is showing spirit and strength, but I would rather play football longer by healing my wound first, than risk the chance of sitting in the stands because of extended injury.  I bet many of the people out there have been injured at least once and know how it feels to injure an already injured injury.  There was a very good chance Romo could have been tackled hard, and the rib might have broke and caused more pain, but that did not happen.  This is where Romo is lucky because none of the worst events occurred.  Either way, the Redskins did have a good chance to win this game.  I wonder if the coach urged his players to tackle Romo to get him out of the game.  It would be a good strategy, but a very, very dirty one.
