Day 87

Fresh Start_87: If you get knocked down, jump right back up, over and over again

*I know I haven’t said anything about the page views, but thank you guys so much, it means more than you know, it allows me to do what I love to do and know that people are stopping by each day. For people to take time out of their day and read my articles, it just brings this uncontrollable smile to my face, and I thank each and every one of you for making me a part of your day*

I am no different from you… I have anxiety, fear, insecurities, and things that I just can’t stop thinking about. You might have different things that you think about, depending on where you are in your life, and that is expected, just know you aren’t alone. Part of that feeling of anxiety or insecurity is not knowing yourself or believing in the vision that you have set out for yourself. Don’t get me wrong, there will be times that you question the process, but in the end; at the end of the day right before you touch your head to the pillow, you have to know that you are completely 1,000% in. What that “thing” is, is whatever you are best at and enjoy doing. I enjoy writing and impacting peoples’ lives telling stories about New York sports, or just sports in general. I have started to sculpt my life into my passion, and using the saying “If you love your work, you don’t work a day in your life” that my grandmother preached to me in high school.

People change, that is just a part of life, your interests change with that, but there will always be something that no matter the day or time, you will go on and on about. That thing is called your passion. What I would say to you is, find a way to make your passion your work so you can get the most out of your work. If you aren’t doing your passion day and day out, and you are still happy, God bless you, you are a role model to me and rock on, but if you aren’t doing what you love and you complain, change it. I am not saying this to be motivational or to get in your face and inspire you to create the Facebook for yogurt but to change your thinking and make you take a step back and evaluate yourself. Self-awareness is extremely important in being happy. And I might be saying something that many of you already know, and that is okay, just keep charging forward. For my brothers who are just to start their own journey in this world, this is extremely important for them to hear. It is important for me as a big brother to use my experience to benefit their lives and make it a little easier. My experiences may be small and I am not an old wise man by any means, but, this is something that I learned throughout this year and that is one of the best lessoned I’ve ever learned, and it wasn’t told through a fable or given to me as advice, I had to live it and make it a reality. So, to anyone feeling down or lost, I hope this helped and keep going… The grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side.

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...
