Rhetorical Precis

In Trevor Martin's sports documentary "Schooled- The price of College Sports(2013)”, he exposes Colleges and universities exploitation of college athletes that negatively benefits them. The author first introduces the problem with college athletics and how college athletes are not compensated; they then continue to offer solutions to the problem by suggesting compensation for the athletes. His purpose is to speak out against the NCAA for taking advantage of these student athletes making millions off of them without them making a single cent and trying to get fair compensation for these athletes. He seems to have sports fans and student athletes in mind because the documentary has college athletics in mind. I agree with the documentary in the fact that it is wrong and unjust for the colleges and NCAA to be making millions off of these athletes without them getting a single cent. Although I still believe college athletics should be kept amateur, I believe after athletes graduate from college, they should be offered compensation, leaving them the choice to remain an amateur or not. Although these athletes are getting amazing educations for free, they should still be compensated. 

Wilfork remaining a Patriot?

     The general argument made by author Mark Farinella in his work Wilfork:No Patriots place for him is that the Patriots will let the Nose tackle. He writes that Wilfork may be leaving the Pats​​when he says, "Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork is likely to become a free agent in he days to come". In  this passage, Farinella suggests that this may have been Vince's last season wearing a Patriots uniform. In conclusion, Farinella’s belief is although today's free agent market in the NFL is very unpredictable, Vince will likely not return as a Patriot.

     In my view, Farinella is right because rarely when a team does not pick up a players option do they aquifer him in free agency. More specifically, I believe that ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​there is a chance Vince Wilfork my retire. For example, ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​many Nose Tackles in the league last half as long as Vince has due to the nature of the position. Although Farinella might object that Vince may retire. I maintain that Vince may retire this offseason. I conclude that Vince gave the Patriots many great years and although his future is uncertain, he still has had a major impact on the game​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

Munger with incredible success at Redneck games!

Johnny Munger of Norton left the 2015 Redneck Games as the most decorated athlete. He placed in all eleven events placing first in six of them. Some of his top events were the Toilet seat throw, Hubcap hurling and Wet T-Shirt contest.

Johnny Munger went into the Redneck games as the underdog never expected to take home any of the coveted crushed beer can trophies. But as soon Munger saw the coveted trophies, he knew he had to leave with at least one if not more. Munger was off to a slow start in the pig trotter bob where he only got three in the time limit. However he excelled in the next event taking home the trophy, Seed Spitting.

“I knew this would be one of my strong events with my baseball background, I only played baseball for the seeds anyway” said Munger. In the toilet seat throw he blew his competition away from the start showing his excellent toilet seat horseshoeing skills. He then proceeded to win the Mud Pit Belly Flop, Wet T-shirt contest and Dumpster diving. He also placed second respectively in the Big-Hair contest and Armpit Serenade. 

Mungers true moment of glory came in the Hubcap Hurling. “I could not disappoint Larz” said Munger who took quite a different approach than other competitors. Where most competitors took a conventional approach to the throw, Munger used what he learn from his coach Tenglin and approached the competition throwing the Hubcap as a Discus beating his closest throw by 50 feet with a monstrous throw of 165’!

“I am very proud of my performance and hope to repeat next year” said Munger.
