Day 36

Fresh Start_36: Debate Night
Now I don’t normally talk about politics on this blog but considering it is election season and most of the country has their opinion, I might as well give my input. I am not in love with either candidate and I am in the same boat with many on this. I do think that there was clear winner and loser. I don’t think the election was won or lost on this debate alone, considering how much wasn’t talked about or brought up.  
The clear winner in my mind was Hilary Clinton, largely based on how she handled the way Trump reacted to some of the questions and responses. Clinton went extremely left which was much to my surprise, and that could be interesting for voters on the fence. The way she spoke about the economy and of course her emails, she was put in the driver seat and never looked back.
Trump on the other lost, but surprised me a lot in some and didn’t in others. The way Trump talked about the minorities in the country and how we need to fix it, was a really good point that I didn’t think he would bring up. Also with the way he attacked the trade deals and how bad they were set up. Those two arguments went really well for Trump and he got some punches in. But, again he didn’t win the fight.  Trump lost me last night in the ladder half of the debate when he brought up how Hilary Clinton has made fun of Trump and has spread lies about him. Well that was the point where I stood up and yelled at the TV. I hate to break it Donald Trump but that is what politics is, and quite frankly Trump has done the same to Hilary. The sword is double sided and if it gets under your skin well that will show and could cause weakness. Acting like a middle school girl during the most watched presidential debate is not a strong sign of the commander and chief. I am intrigued and extremely interested to see what the two other debates as well as the vice presidential debates.
*As always I need to stress how important it is to vote whether you love or hate the candidates in the running. Registering to vote doesn’t only make a difference for the leader of the country. It also shows in your hometown and how the politics are sorted out*

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...
