Football Shows or Movies that teach lessons

 Multiple Valley high school football games canceled for this Friday | WKBN.com

Growing up in a family full of football people they loved to watch a lot of shows that had to deal with it as well. I have watched so many shows and movies that they have all had some impact on my life in ways that I play the game today. I have even seen things that have happened just the way they were planned out in movies years after they come out or things just being based on a true story. Friday Night lights are both a TV show along with being a movie as well, then you have the likes of remembering the titans are definitely worth their watch regardless if you like sports or not it gives you a lot of great life lessons. 

Remember the Titans (2000) - IMDb

I'll start with remembering the titans in this movie you learn about how divided the times were in the 1970’s especially when it comes to race. This movie was based on a high school in  Alexandria, Virginia. In which they had just ruled the school would be mixed with blacks and white kids for the first time ever and these kids were also brought in with a black football coach as well. During this time something that didn't sit well with the people involved at first and caused a lot of problems because people choose to make it a problem. Throughout the movie the team has been put through tough elements to help build a family regardless of skin color and not have a race war on a football team that's supposed to be about family. 

Friday Night Lights (2004) - IMDb

In Friday Night Lights the movie shows that you can not always be cocky in the way that things can be taken away from you at any moment. In this movie the star running back in which he had dozens of college offers to play D1 and in his very first game of the year he tears his ACL in which ended his season. This was devastating to the team but the coaches keep them in belief that one person does not make the team. The 11 guys that are out there at a time make the team and have to believe and just do their job to win games. This brings teams closer as a family in which they did do that rally allied together and things worked out for them and made the run they did as a family and won the championship. This was all done together and not just players playing by themselves but together. 


Friday Night Lights (TV Series 2006–2011) - IMDb

   In the final one the Friday night lights the tv show was based on the movie and the book was able to do a few changes to the actual show that you can't really tell. In the show it gives the feeling that things are not as easy as it seems to be between a coach and a player. School is always a trouble for kids on the team and don't know if they can go to college because of grades. You also have the kids who have all the grades but don't always have the talent enough to go play at a D1 school. But with big small town schools that are run by booster clubs that feed a lot of money into the program and think they can tell coaches what they have to do because they can get them fired as well if they don't listen. This shows how crazy and corrupt the game of football and money will do to people but it also gets real personal into the day of lives with these players and coaches. I think this tv shows things that many people don't see that goes on in life because they are not around but this is the truth and how sad and low people will go to make lives miserable because they have the money to do so.

A family is what all teams in sports are supposed to feel like a family just like the one you have back at home. Family is the most important thing that I have taken from all of these movies and shows that family will be there for you. But we also have to understand there will be ups and downs in which making you closer helps strengthen the bonds we make. In sports you make life long brothers in football but there can also be long life sisters as well depending on the type of sports we participate in. You can also see how that lowdown people will go to get their way along with how crazy people are about the game of football.It opened eyes on the good, the bad and the ugly about the game. This is something many people don't know but it is good to know and not let it continue to happen. But it also needs to be known that Family within the team the schools build is what will matter for the rest of these players lifetime.

Two Minute Technology: Machine Learning

Two Minute Technology: Machine Learning Any learning entity - be it an animal, human or a machine begins with an initial set of observations - raw data . This kind of data can stem from interactions, transactions, information exchange, examples, instructions or experiences. A brain - whether it belongs to a human or animal, tries to look for patterns inside that initial data and then uses it to perform actions or make decisions. This same phenomenon can be applied to machines, using machine learning. Machine learning is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence. According to Arthur Samuel, a computer scientist, machine learning gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Another computer scientist, Tom Mitchell, took the same details of machine learning, but broke it down further in his definition. I find Mitchell's definition more fitting to describe exactly what machine learning is. "Machine learning is a well-posed learning problem: a computer...

How apple has dominated the phone company

  In the growth of smartphones in 2007  apple made basically the first touch screen held cell phone in which it was different from all of the others that was around. This tech guru Steve jobs knew at the time that he had something special. At this time he was competing with companies that were making flip phones, blackberries or even the slide up phones at the time. This was an outside the box move in which no one was doing at the time or even thought about doing.  Cell phones have come a long way back in the day before that they were carrying like bricks with them and you can tell it was a bad time. This mix of new styles of phones which basically turned the whole industry into touch screens and smartphones. This company lost their lead Steve jobs who was the man with the plan and stated this trend but the company has been able to continue to grow.  Many people don't know that the company made a bad deal with AT&T at the time. This deal was made to get all of t...

Ryan's Top Ten Albums - In Rainbows - Radiohead

Image
  In Rainbows - Radiohead Released 2007 - Genre: Art Rock, Experimental Rock While the albums I talked about in this blog are not ranked in any particular order, I can confidently say that this is my favorite album. Radiohead has always been one of my favorite bands, my original idea for this blog was to do an entry on each of their nine studio albums. In Rainbows came at a very unique point in the band’s career, as they had already seemingly reinvented the wheel twice, with the release of OK Computer in 1997, and Kid A in 2000, and their few albums since had been highly regarded but never to that same level. In Rainbows was their attempt at reinventing their sound again and doing something groundbreaking, and they delivered. The buildup to the album's release was very unique, as the band promoted the album almost solely on their own website, where they boasted a pay-what-you-want scheme for the album, where fans could pay any amount (or nothing at all) to download the album. I...
