Sports Article

1. The Monday Oct. 23 football game between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants.
2. Drew Bledsoe stood grim-faced on the sideline, his fingers locked inside the collar of his jersey, a visor pulled over his eyes.
3. I think the aforementioned sentence is the best one in the article. It gives the reader the picture of how Bledsoe felt. The story of Bledsoe getting benched also overshadowed the result of the game, so i think the sentence " Drew Bledsoe stood grim-faced on the sideline, his fingers locked inside the collar of his jersey, a visor pulled over his eyes,' was the best.
4. The interviews were worth reading. What Bill Parcless, T.O., Romo and Bledsoe had to say after the controversial benching of Bledsoe. I think the lead was really good because it brought out the emotions of Bledsoe and I think helped show how big of a deal the benching of Bledsoe was. I think there was a bit of suspense with what Parcells had to say. The writer left it for later in the story, when it was what everybody wanted to know.
5. The most important thing was the interview. I am willing to bet that the interview was what most of the people read the story for. What did Parcells say? Did he make a decision for next week's quarterback? What would Terrell Owens say? Would he throw Drew Bledsoe under the bus? I think the observations were almost equally important, the observation of Bledsoe's body language helped spur another story. If Bledsoe would be demoted to second-string quarterback, would he ask to be released by the Cowboys to play somewhere else.
