Day 119

Fresh Start_119: Ladies and Gentlemen I have an announcement
In the season of giving I’d like to give back some eyeballs to the people that I believe deserve it. A little disclaimer before I start: I am not being paid by anyone of one these people that I am about to talk about, this is shut a small shout out to you guys! Being a small YouTuber it is tough trying to gain subscribers and keep a community together when you are starting out, it’s identical to how tough it is to gain traction on this blog. Anyway, being on the site and creating content for the site, you see people that are doing well that need some recognition for how well they are doing. Some may not want the recognition and would just like to keep on grinding and putting out content, but I want to just take some time to recognize a few people.

The first one I would like to recognize is Philip Defranco. Now Philly D should need no recognition due to the fact that he is one of the biggest and longest running YouTubers on the platform with almost 5 million subscribers, but he has had an incredible year gaining in subscribers and also winning Show of the Year at the Streamy’s. Defranco does a daily news show on YouTube and has one of the most interesting communities on the site. The questions and discussions in the comment section of his videos is just refreshing to see and a joy to chime in on. I strongly recommend you checking some of his content out. Keep up your amazing work and go kill 2017!

The next person I would like to shout out is another YouTuber and that is Justin Escalona. Escalona is a daily vlogger on YouTube and he has been absolutely killing it in 2016. He is a college student at USC and he also has a really awesome clothing line called 1340. I have bought a few of his designs and I am very happy with the product. Escalona only has about 250,000 subscribers on YouTube but he deserves way more for the effort and production value that he puts into his videos. Justin, keep up going after it day and day out, the results will be there—also go kill 2017.

The last YouTuber that I would like to shout out is another daily vlogger and he is probably the most famous one at that, Casey Neistat. Neistat has absolutely exploded in 2016 with his vlog channel and become one of the most popular faces in the YouTube space and film making in general. He has since stop making daily vlogs, but he still makes videos and they are just as good if not better than some of the stuff he has made in the past. If you are between shows on Winter break or you get bored at any point in time, go check out his daily vlogs or just his YouTube channel in general, it is probably the best cinematography on YouTube (I am not kidding). I know you will continue to do incredible things in 2017 and best of luck in your new business venture.

Next up on the list is Entrepreneur, Best Selling Author, YouTube star, All-Star motivator, and avid Jets fan Gary Vaynerchuk. Gary Vee probably has the most influential YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter communities I have ever seen and it is such an amazing community of people. The energy and the vibe that he creates is unlike any other, and he is one of the people that drives me to just grind, hustle, and do my best every day. I want to be the one that interviews him when he finally achieves his dream as the owner of the Jets. If you need a pick me up go check out his content, it is absolutely phenomenal. I don’t even have to say it because I am 110% certain that Gary Vee will be crushing 2017, keep it up, thank you, and Let’s go Jets!

Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends, I do all of this for you guys. You guys are my backbone and I couldn’t do any of this without you guys. Thank you so much I couldn’t write enough to show my gratitude. Mom, Dad thanks for all that you do it means the world. Granny you are such an inspiration and hopefully the Jets will field a better team soon. Vinny and Thomas you guys are the best brothers I could ask for, don’t follow my example I left for you guys in high school, and I hope one day I can write articles about your successes and interview you guys. Fi, I love you—you literally the greatest (enough said). Nick, my partner in crime you are the man thanks for embarking with me on this YouTube grind couldn’t think of a better guy to do it with. So yeah, even though that last part was a possible Acknowledgement section of a book, please go check out all the people I have mentioned in this article.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
