Dartmouth Players are now Employees

 Just this past week, Dartmouth Basketball players are now called university employees to be getting paid as employees also. When reading this information, I think to myself, "This team must be a powerhouse team that has been winning for years, right? They must be so sick of winning without pay that they had to fight for what's right, right?" No that is wrong, completely wrong. They are 5-14 this year and most of the games are not even close. Credit to them, they did beat a team called Thomas Terriers where when I try to even click on them on ESPN to see the rest of the schedule, I cannot even find it. They might be one of those Bishop Sycamore teams which are not real teams. I tried to give this Dartmouth team some credit and thought to myself, maybe this year has just been a tough year and maybe they have been good in the past and maybe even have had a dynasty... And that is where I am wrong again. They have not have had a winning season since 1999 and have not made the March Madness Tournament in 1959. If these players are employees, I do not know how much longer they will have jobs. I am curious if this will keep going in other colleges in the future, I like the idea, but they are just now closing the gap between college sports to professional sports.

  We made it everyone! It is finally the best time of the year! The fall season! The crisp morning, the firepit evenings, the football season, the chili, ALL OF IT IS FINALLY HERE! I have been waiting for this since the "Holiday Season" ended and now all I can do is sit, smile, and enjoy the moments we have.  Here are the top 5 things about fall that everyone should be excited for... 5.) Weather The fall weather is better than anything else to experience. Crisp cool mornings and firepit evenings? What is better than that? Winter is always brutal with it being so cold shivering at any point when you are outside and summer do not even get me started... My AC is on full blast at home and in my car at all times, and when I go outside, it is like I am walking through lava. It is always a bad day to wear a t shirt with those sweat stains running down. But I do not have to worry about either those for the next couple of months. Hoodie in the morning on my walks, and hoodies as I sit...

Best Sequel Ideas for Disney Movies

Image
  Adults will be running to the living room couch to be eating Dunkaroos and a Lunchable waiting for the new movie to come up. This cast is incredible to see and will get people of all ages to watch. Kind of curious if they will have EVERYONE from the previous ones to come, but either way, it's the nostalgia that the older people will need to see, and the younger kids can start from the first Camp Rock and watch them all the way to the newest one coming up. This is a win/win scenario for viewers, and I cannot wait to see how it goes. Now if they are doing this... will they be doing this for new movies? Here are a top 5 Disney movies that I would absolutely love for them to make a reboot to be put on in the future.                                                                    ...

Detroit Lions - Believe or Dont!

Image
This is my first blog about the Detroit Lions for the year. It stung very hard with the Detroit Lions losing to the Washington Commanders home in the first round of the playoffs. To be a Lions fan, I have never been more confident in a football team. We kept winning primetime games and coming back when we were losing later in the game... the Detroit Lions never get to do that. So right when the confidence was at the highest it possibly could, it went crumbling down and the Lions fell off the playoffs early that year. But you know what... this is a knew year, and after week 1, I heard many people saying they do not believe in them this year, and with that I say... Stay on the ship or do not think about coming back.  The season was amazing last year, I agree, they did everything besides win the Superbowl. New year, same energy... so we thought. Week 1 in Green Bay is a scary one to start. Especially when they have just received Micah Parsons as a pass rushing threat to add on for the...
