Underachieving Professional Athletes

There are several teams that have never achieved champion status. Among these teams are players that are still getting paid an enormous salary and living like supreme beings. These professional athletes are on teams that accomplish very few wins per year, but are heavily rewarded for lousy play. They are comfortable just to be able to say they're on a professional sports team. They don't lose any sleep worrying about how to actually better themselves to increase their chances of obtaining a championship. These individuals are content with earning the big bucks, living in luxury, and occasionally being called to play. Do you think for one moment that the teams that aren't successful hate their lives? No, of course not. They are happy to be considered a pro. What job do you know where a person can sit and watch a game while still making millions? Basically the player isn't doing much at all, except waiting to have a chance to play during a game. The athlete no doubt will play their best while in the game. However, it isn't a problem whether they win or lose. They were able to play for a few minutes and retain their professional status. In the back of these players minds, they are aware that there is a possibility of them being traded or waived. Not being in the spotlight, may hurt some egos of the underachieving players. At the end of the day, they may realize that the fans deserve more effort from them. As a result, a major change may happen in the future. It is wrong for any professional athlete to behave in this manner. Players should do more than just show up.

 

Explosive

When you see this word, what comes to mind. Do you automatically think of fire or a bomb?  Have you ever been in a situation when something is constantly bothering you? You decide not to react. However, the same chaotic stuff keeps happening day after day. Before you're able to stop yourself, you explode with a blind rage unknown to the dweller of this earth. I'm sure you've gone to a local restaurant to eat dinner at a buffet. Before you can get into the safety of your home, you begin to feel a slight rumble in your stomach. It  subsides as you get ready to sleep. When you step into your bedroom, you feel the rumble once more. You get in bed and drift into a deep slumber. During your sleep, that slight rumble crescendos into an all out earthquake. You jump out of the bed and run toward the toilet to explode. If stung by a bee, an explosion of pain rushes throughout your nervous system. Fireworks during the Fourth of July celebration often sends numerous sparks of light in the air that are beautiful to see. Kids often experiment with soda and mementos to create a chemical reaction that is truly explosive. During a major traffic accident, everything happens very fast. It seems as though an explosion has transpired right before your eyes. After the Miami Heat won game five against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA finals, the fans exploded with the emotion of joy and inner bliss. The thought of bringing a championship to the city of Miami sent shock waves throughout the arena. Tears explode from a child's eyes after receiving a shot from a doctor. Can you remember when you were a teenager going through puberty? Well, that was the age of some serious acne. To get rid of a pimple you popped it. The pus inside of it would explode all over your face. If you eat a bean burrito or a huge amount of fiber, you may experience explosions of gas coming from your dairy air. Blood explodes from a fresh cut to the skin. A plumber is called to a home to fix the pipes after a water explosion.When there is a fire, sirens explode throughout the area. A clock that alarms early in the morning sends explosive sound waves into your ear to encourage you to get out of bed in a timely manner. Explosive is a powerful word. Don't worry over small stuff. You have an unique weapon in your voice. If you want to get a person's attention instantly, the only thing that needs to be done is to sound as if your going to explode. The person will know that you mean business. However, be ready to deal with the reaction of the other person. A stomach ache is a bad feeling. It doesn't get any better until the food explodes out of your mouth. Afterwards, you feel like a new person. As I have stated, the word explosive is no joke. What comes to mind for you?
