• The View is Coming

    Currently I’m in Belize with my church, and we were asked to write a devotional to share with our group. Here is what I wrote, and thought I would share with you for some encouragement. Mountain climbing is not my preferred sport (sorry Mom), but when Jesus calls us to…

  • Where did 49ers Players Rank in Recent CBS Football Rankings?-Gold Rush Gossip

    Pete Prisco has released his Top 100 players for the 2026 season, and as I was reading football articles on the CBS Sports website, I stumbled across the rankings, and figured I’d see where some 49ers players ranked. Most of what I came across made me pretty happy, but there…

  • Time to Prove the Critics Wrong- Gold Rush Gossip

    It frustrates me beyond words when I see the 49ers getting criticized and downplayed because of them being prone to injuries. When Brock Purdy is deemed, “only good because Shanahan is his coach”. Now, I’m not going to call out names or anything, but I do want to make some…

  • The AFC Seahawks- The Daily Kickoff

    There was a bit of a shock to football fans when the Houston Texans entered the NFL lineup in 2002. And that caused the Seattle Seahawks to lose their place in the AFC. The Seahawks were founded in 1976, where they played one year in the NFC West – where…

  • The Daily Kickoff- Mike Evans and the 1000 Yard Seasons

    I figured it only fair to write a post about him since he is ending his 12-year stretch with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and heading to beautiful San Francisco. Mike Evans holds the NFL record with 11 consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons to start his career (2014–2024), tying Jerry Rice for…

  • The Daily Kickoff- Jim Kelly and the Super Bowl Losing Streak

    Jim Kelly, QB for the Buffalo Bills, lead his team to four consecutive Super Bowls, but won none of them. That is heartbreaking for everyone who had hope in them, fans and players alike. Let’s start with the Wide Right Super Bowl in 1991, against the New York Giants. This…

  • The Daily Kickoff- The Wrong Way Play

    Football is a game of speed, instinct, and split-second decisions. Sometimes, though, even great players have a moment they wish they could take back. One of the most unforgettable plays in NFL history happened on October 25, 1964, when a Minnesota Vikings player ran the ball the wrong way. After…

  • Trent Williams Dilemma- Gold Rush Gossip

    The Niners might be losing Trent. Yes, it is nightmare-ish for the hopefuls that want the 49ers to make it all the way to Superbowl LXI. (Hopefuls including me after I got pumped up by Brock Purdy’s immediate “100%” answer to whether the Niners could make it all the way)…

  • The Daily Kickoff- Mr. Irrelevant

    Brock Purdy was not expected to be who he is today. In the 2022 draft, when he was brought into the NFL, he was the very last pick. As in, 262th pick. The leftovers. The “He’s probably going to end up an emergency third QB” pick. He attended the NFL…

  • The Daily Kickoff- The Holy Roller

    An NFL team once won a game by intentionally fumbling the ball forward… multiple times. It sounds made up. It wasn’t. In 1978, the Oakland Raiders were trailing the San Diego Chargers with seconds left. Quarterback Ken Stabler was about to be sacked. Instead of taking the loss, he pushed…

I’m Tatum

When you hear the word ‘football,’ you’re probably not envisioning a fourteen-year-old girl who wears sweatshirts and spends all of her time writing novels or, you guessed it, watching NFL. The Write Zone is a place where you can catch up on football news or read some bits of my unpublished novels, and maybe The Write Zone will change the way you view both writing and football.
