Day 3

Fresh Start_3: Social Media
This entry is something different from my normal content on this blog that I just need to write down and showcase on the blog and be just a bit more personal. As of this past Sunday I have completely deleted all social media off my phone. I’m getting rid of the distractions and trying to prioritize my time with this upcoming school year and just for my sanity to distance myself from social media. Where that lands me with relationships with my friends we will see. Also many of you may say it will hurt this blog in terms exposure when I post my articles on twitter. It may also hurt my overall brand; with both of my podcast channels on youtube.
I will handle that, but to just make this clear I am not quitting social media all together. I’m taking a leave of absence if you will from it and see how I feel. I don’t know how long I will be gone but it won’t just be a week. If anyone you would like to ask questions or suggestions email me at jdatasports@gmail.com. I wanted to do something like this on twitter before I left and it will transfer over when I get back.
I understand why social media is so important in the society we live and the benefits it can have. But just like everything in life, sometimes you need a break and that is what I am doing right now. I hope with no distractions I will be able to become I better student, better athlete for my college swimming team, better moderator on the podcasts I do, and a better writer for this blog. If you want to relate this to sports think of it as when Lebron James shuts down all his social media accounts for the playoffs. This time off is my playoffs.
I know this is short but, thank you for allowing me to rant and regular content will be back tomorrow.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
