Alex's Super Bowl XLVIII predictions

Super Bowl XLVIII will be an interesting one between Denver and Seattle, with Denver's dominant offense and Seattle's killer defense, anything is possible. With the Seahawks strong safety's and a talented but idiotic Richard Sherman, this defense seems to be unstoppable, but the question is, will they be able to shut down the most aggressive offense in the league? Peyton Manning is looking stronger than ever in his rightful position as quarterback with many options to throw to like Thomas, Welker, Decker, and Julius Thomas. Denver also has the option to run the ball to Knowshon Moreno who may not be as good as Marshawn Lynch, but definitely has the potential to be a key player in this ballgame. On the other hand, Seattle has Marshawn Lynch and Golden Tate, two key players on their path to victory. In my opinion, I would like the Broncos to win because I think Peyton Manning deserves it, and I don't really like Richard Sherman. Peyton Manning is not my favorite quarterback. Peyton Manning is not the greatest quarterback that has ever lived. Even if I want Denver to win, I think Seattle will win the Super Bowl.

Play like adults; read like 5th graders

In the article, Play like adults; read like 5th graders, we discover that many schools around the country have students who cannot read or write at a college level. This seems unfair to me because many students who apply to these schools are rejected, but athletes on the other hand are accepted who may not be able to read or write. This article makes it seem to me that the education system is very flawed because of the lack of background checks, and students who's scores may be average may be rejected which is unfair. This article also made me think that there is not much research into the students they're accepting into their schools. I found this article to be shocking and quite appalling at how little research is done on the students who are accepted into their schools.
