Trophies for Everyone I guess

Image
  This may be the craziest thing I have ever seen. The Florida State football team received rings basically saying how they would've been national champions if the committee did what they were supposed to do. Yes, I understand that they were undefeated at the end of the regular season.... but that is just nuts. Through that season, They only beat Boston College by 2, beat a Clemson that had their worst season in years by 7, Miami by a touchdown, and struggled against Louisville in the ACC Championships. So they had 4 games where they did not blow out teams that they should have, but still think they could've been national champions. I understand when they played against Georgia everyone left, but saying you are a football champion when looking at your season results you lost by 60 is just absurd. They have had a tremendous season this year and they really should be proud, but to say anything about what ifs... is just crazy to me.  When thinking about some "What ifs.."

Put Some Respect On Her Name

Image
  Caitlin Clark... people have been hating on her all day every day for the last couple of years. "She shoots too much" "She doesn't pass the ball" "She can't do that when she is in the WNBA" "Her future teammates will hate her" I know they have not even had their first WNBA game yet but all I have seen so far has proved to me that she is going to take over right when she steps on the court for her first game.  Yes, she has had the greatest career of any Women's College Basketball player, or maybe ever any College Basketball Player ever. She has scored more points than any other Women's college player, has won Big 10 championships, has gone to the national championship multiple times, and was just a fan favorite everywhere she went. She went to a school like Iowa that would follow her wherever she would go. Senior year she averaged 31 points, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds as well... NBA 2k like stats and making it look easy while shoo

Round 1 NBA Playoff Takeaways So Far

Image
  This has been a pretty awesome first round of the NBA playoffs with some unexpected teams taking over, some heated moments against some players, some game winners, and it is only the first round. Here are my takeaways from just the first round this year.  This may be the most liked team in the NBA this year. They do not have any official superstar player on their team but they play so well together and are showing that multiple people playing well can beat just 1 player that can play well. The Knicks are a spitting image of the National Champion Villanova Wildcats where they have complete trust with eachother and give effort throughout the whole game. It is amazing to see, and also seeing the knicks fan just go crazy after every game makes me want them to go farther in the playoffs and to see how they can go.  The Lakers have been very surprising this series knowing that they are beating the Nuggets in minutes with the leads by a lot but at one point still being down in the series 3-

Spencer Rattler on QB1

Image
  Comparing a humbled 23 year old who has experienced so much throughout his years to a 17 year old #1 football recruit is one of the craziest things I have ever seen. Rattler has gotten drafted later than expected and rumors have occurred that many GMs did not like him because of his behavior on the television show of QB1. Things like this bother me like crazy. Imagine a situation that you were so good at being a quarterback in high school that they had a camera crew to film him and how he lived that school year. What would you expect for this kid to act? I was watching the television show when it was coming out and I absolutely loved the show. When watching it, obviously there was one kid, who was cocky and yelling at his backup quarterback all the time telling him he sucks. Yes, that was Spencer Rattler who I am talking about. Before practice they used to have competition of offense against defense where it was 1 on 1's in the goal line and while Rattler threw perfect passes and

Detroit Lions 2024 Draft Class Reaction

Image
  Before even talking about the players that were drafted from this 2024 NFL draft, it is incredible how the city of Detroit always shows out whenever they are hosting a big event. Over 750,000 fans in 3 days is so impressive and it shows all Detroit sports that if you win games, they will come. Hopefully the city will start winning like the Lions have done this previous year and the fans will start showing up more. So personally, I thought Detroit did a pretty good job with their draft picks and for them to draft players that they need, not just players that are available. Here are the players that the Detroit Lions have selected and predictions of how they are going to be.  First round, 24th overall pick, Terrion Arnold. A corner from Alabama that was an all american last year. I love this pick a lot knowing what Detroit needs and looking at his highlights, he is not afraid to get up on a receiver and hold is own on his own island. He's got that energy that will match with his no

Can Rodger Goodell become the good guy?

Image
  This man gets boo'd every single time he walks to the podium to make his draft pick. It does not matter what state he is in, it does not matter what team has won the previous super bow, it does not matter who has the #1 pick that year, that man will be getting boo'd as if it is a family tradition to be followed. He has had some moments where he suspends players for bad reasons, making some new rules that make the games boring or frustrating to watch, and even situations not being solved until later times. But this man Rodger Goodell, might be making up a couple of rules that may have me rooting for him when he walks up to the podium to make the #1 pick instead of booing. He finally had a moment where he did not think about a rule as a commissioner, but as a fan, which is what we all need. He knew pre season games stink and he is trying to help us all out to take away a pre season game so it is not as many, because if you are a football fan, you know you watch a little of the

Betty you lied to us!

Image
  I am today years old when I have made the executive decision that I cannot trust anyone anymore. People just can lie about everything, and I am getting tired of it. Betty Crocker is a brand of easy cooking recipes for people to make at home for their families. The brand began in 1921 and has made over 200 products from family dinner meals, desserts, and many others. The brand is not something like Nike, or Dunkin Donuts, or even Olive Garden, its a persons name... so the real question is, who the heck is this Betty Crocker person? This is the person that everyone looked up to. This is the real Betty Crocker... right? And here is the answer for everyone that for some random reason... SHE IS NOT REAL. Betty Crocker is a fictional character for the brand to market to families to make these products for their own family. So this person I have had to thank when making my meals for the family and it turns out to be some make believe character like a cartoon person?  And another thing.... T

New Generation of the NBA

Image
  For the last 10 years, the NBA has consists of the same NBA players that take over the playoffs where I get to sit and watch. Lebron James, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Russel Westbrook. And throughout this year in the playoffs, I am seeing this new generational players taking over this round over the same veterans that I used to look up to every year. Some of the teams are even close to "Super Teams" and they cannot even get a win in the first round yet. So this is where the question is being talked about... Is there a new sheriff in town in the NBA? This series has been the most surprising match up that I was not expecting for another couple of years. Anthony Edwards has been a monster throughout the years, but when I saw that this was the matchup, I was not expecting it to be close. The Phoenix Suns just from the look of it, looks like a Super Team. Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal. This team has just made the finals a couple of years ago, and that was without

No Sam, You Are Not Friends with Her

Image
  Yeah yeah yeah, I still watch Jersey Shore every Thursday and love the drama every single week. It has taken many years but they have finally filled the cast of the group with every character being in this season. Even though they have not all been together in so long, the drama never changes and that is what I live for.  The sweetheart is back... and she has came back with vengeance. It is pretty strange because Angelina is actually the sole reason why Sam has came back into the show with them becoming good friends off of the show and now they have became rivals. They started this beef between them over small comments of Sam telling Angelina, "You talk to much." or "You're acting like a baby." Where Angelina will be upset about and that is what stirs the pot. It was a little drama until this latest episode on episode 12...  So the quick backstory to this picture and why this is so insane. When the Jersey Shore cast went to the New York Jets game, Angelina was

Grading The Detroit Lions Last 10 First Round Picks

Image
  It is almost draft day! The greatest day of the year where no football teams are playing. The Detroit Lions have the #29th pick this year, which might not be the best, but it may not be the worst either. Knowing how this organization works now, they will do what is best for the team and will help the best for them to win games. But before worrying about this years draft, here are my opinions on the previous 10 Detroit Lions first round picks.  2023 Jahmyr Gibbs A- I will not forget being on the couch watching the NFL draft and just yelling at the TV as we draft a running back while we already had Swift and Williams with Williams leading the NFL with touchdowns. Why in the hell would we need another running back? I then see some pre season plays and just see how quick he is out running every linebacker during a pass play. I then wait for week one as I see him run only a few carries and one was him tripping with a wide open view to the endzone. I did not feel confident, but they starti

Give The Man His Flowers!

  And finally the day has freaking came... Reggie Bush has been given his Heisman back after losing it in 2010. The reason why... because he received money while at the biggest college at the time with having practices where Will Ferrell and Snoop Dogg visited practice whenever they wanted. Is anyone really shocked that he got paid in the first place? Well he did, and 5 years after winning the Heisman, they thought it was a good idea to take the trophy from him after one of the greatest season of all time. Well now, 14 years later after it being taken from him, it is given back to where it belonged, in his house. For people who do not understand, Reggie Bush was a different breed in college. He was on one of the most remarkable teams. The team was so good, the quarterback has also won the Heisman within the years he was still there, and another running back that was a first round draft pick the same year he got drafted. The team was undefeated for 2 straight years with winning 2 nation

Best Month of Music Ever?!

Image
  I like to think I am a fan of all kinds of music. Rap, country, pop, if I am in that vibe and I am nodding my head to the music... then I will like that music. There have been great generations and artists that have taken over years of music. There are has been years where there are beef between artists that get them all listening as well. And there have been times where fans were waiting for a specific artists to put their music out, but has there been a time where it all happened within the same month? I am still trying to understand who is involved, but there are MANY members involved in the rap rivalries that are going on. It started out with Kendrick Lamar with dissing J Cole and Drake saying, "f the big 3, it's just big me" which is a crazy line to go and call 2 of the top artists in this generation out like that. After this happened, J Cole put an album out calling out Kendrick Lamar which was a great song with great lines but deleted it a couple of weeks later.

Are the Knicks Back?

Image
  The Knicks are freaking back baby! The one team I always root for when they are in the playoffs because these games at MSG are a different world. Brunson having 22 points, Josh Hart with a surprising 22 points and some clutch 3's when needed, McBride was unconscious from 3... This Knicks have a good chance making their way through the 76ers in the first round.  Joel Embiid played as well as he could having 29 points but he was pretty much banged up the whole second half of the game. The ally oop to himself was pretty awesome to see, but the way he landed, it looked pretty brutal so I do not think it was worth it. If he doesn't heel up soon, it'll be a short run in the first round.  Overall, the city will be wild tonight with fans screaming, "BING BONG" already getting ready to buy tickets for the NBA championship in MSG, but we shall see how it goes. Let Brunson cook, have the rest of the team do the dirty work with rebounds and good defense, and they can go far

NBA First Round Predictions

Image
  Here are my picks for which teams will win the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. No, I am not a professional, just a fan, but I got a feeling this year. My prediction of winners who will make it to the second round of the NBA playoffs: OKC over Pelicans in 4 Mavs over Clippers in 6 Suns over Wolves in 5 Nuggets over Lakers in 6 Celtics over Heat in 6 Cavs over Magic in 5 Bucks over Pacers in 4 Knicks over 76ers in 7

Michigan Spring Game Takeaways

Image
  The Michigan fans were blessed to be able to go into THE Big House to watch the reining national championship, the Michigan Wolverines to watch their spring game. There was a lot of great things that happened, there's a couple of things that may be concerning, but it was great to see them out and playing today.  The first possession of the game was pretty amazing to see with the lineup that they had for offense. They had Alex Orji being the starting quarterback and Donovan Edwards starting running back. Donovan Edwards did not lose any abilities since the national championship against Washington with his burst through the hole with having multiple 10+ yard gains. Orji had a couple of low passes but then showed some great plays with a crisp out route in the first drive to get the first down. The drive ended with Orji having an option play running for an 18 yard touchdown. The first drive looked pretty impressive with Michigan only having one returning offensive player. This offens
