Day 253

Fresh Start_253: Just some two cents
So, I had to do an assignment a few days for one of my classes about the Declaration of Independence and part of it got me thinking, and I ultimately wrote this as part of the assignment. I think this is especially important because everything that President Trump is doing to try to limit the civil liberties of the American people. Here is the portion that I wrote about the 1st Amendment:

 I’ll start with my first choice of Freedom of Speech and Press. I reason that I love this amendment is because I want to become a sports journalist after college. If I couldn’t speak my mind I wouldn’t be able to have a podcast or write my blog and say my two cents on an issue. There are a ton of people in this world that don’t live in the United States that can’t speak their mind and even go to jail for having a different opinion then the government that governs those people. If Donald Trump doesn’t like my opinion on the Nashville Predators, he can go on Twitter and voice his opinion on what I have to say, and I can do the same thing. If I were to do that in Russia, I might not even be alive if I attacked Vladimir Putin on Twitter. I am truly humbled and extremely thankful for having the privilege to do what I love and say what I feel. Empowering people to say what is on their mind, whether it is a conspiracy theory or dead on fact, the conversation that arises from the top of that subject matter is truly what fascinates me with writing. You can have your opinion and I can have mine, but having a conversation to find a common ground and work together is something I think this country has lost with the current administration. Why attack someone when you can sit down with them and have a beer over, become friends, it can be infectious. You never know who you’ll sit down next too.

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...
