Ian is my fifteen year old brother. He is almost six feet tall (a whole foot taller than me) and is a freshman in highschool. I am 11, on the shorter side , in 6th grade and half the size of my brother. Neither of us know it, but soon we will start an enormous argument over who gets to watch their favorite football team play on TV. "The Bears game is on later today!" I thought in my head over and over again. I am so excited because it is their first game of the season! This is going to be a great game! Since they are playing the 49ers, it will definetly be close.

I notice the remote control on the ground and lunge myself towards it, grab it then look to see where the second one is. He must have been ready for this because he pulls it out from behind his back. "Looking for something?" He asks. I quickly change the channel with my remote. He changes it back to the Packers game. I put the Bears game on. He puts the Packers game on. In the middle of this I realized that when the Bears game is on, the Packers game is in commercials and when the Packers game is on, the Bears game is in commercials.

In order to create long-lasting viewers, the league tries to instill the love of the game to elementary-age kids. Dohrmann easily persuades an audience of parents by explaining who is targeting them and their children, why they are being targeted, and how they are being targeted in an ad campaign to allure their kids into playing football. He even offers a seemingly-perfect solution to this dilemma.

A lot of credit went to senior Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds, who in this game broke the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) record for career rushing touchdowns. During the game he scored four rushing touchdowns, which brought his total to eighty-one.
