Outside Reading #5

For my outside reading blog #5, I read the article "Bringin' the Noise" by Brad Evans. This is an article about sports and how different football players are going to do in each week. The part that I thought was the best had to do with a person who read the article and commented how each prediction was wrong and easy to see that it was coming. In response to each complaint, Evans proves why he was better. One example is when the person wrote, "Everyone and there mom knows about Slaton (RB for the Texans). If you would have said something in August I would be more impressed." Evans responds to this in a kind of funny way. He shows that he did actually say how good he would do in August and adds on to that by saying, "If the moms that Alex is referring to are frequent readers of The Noise then they would indeed know about his true potential." I thought this was funny because he not only proved that he was right, but he added on with his dry sense of humor.
