What's Really Important?

The NFL season has started and it was exciting. People seen their favorite teams play and watched highlights from all the other games. People also noticed something else, Colin Kaepernick still doesn't have a job as an Quarterback in the NFL. People have talked about it all weekend because there were games where a team had person not worth anything playing the position.

Remember the sole reason why Kaepernick isn't on a NFL roster. In the 2016 he decided that the our country's flag didn't stand for what we say it stands for so he sat down in protest during the national anthem before games. In the NFL it's players that commit actual crimes like Greg Hardy who the Cowboys signed after the he was convicted of domestic violence, or even Joe Mixon who the Cincinnati Bengals drafted after he hit a woman on camera. This should make you ask yourself, what's really valued in this world today? People can degrade women by committing violent crimes against them and owners would still hire them, but somebody who stands up....well in this case sits down for what he believes in and for what is right can't be picked up when he's better than most of the backup QB's and actually better than most starters?


It was 2 teams that desperately needed quarterback help if you watched them play or even seen the highlights. The Colts who started Scott Tolzien on Sunday and the 49ers which is the team that Kaepernick left during the offseason. The Colts looked so bad yesterday they played the Rams who aren't that great of a team themselves and they got beat down by them. The score was 46-9 and Tolzien was 9-18 with 2 interceptions and was benched in the second half. The 49ers were led by Brian Hoyer and he was 24-35 which isn't too bad but he still had under 200 yards passing with no Touchdowns and 1 interception. These are clear spots where you can see a decent quarterback is needed and yet still no call to Kapernick for his services.


What I learned from this situation is that people have a cruel way of showing you what matters and what's important in our world today.

Take The Blame!

These days people getting caught cheating left and right, and it’s getting worse because of the social media era. People be having sexual intercourse and be recording it. The person that’s recording is prolly going to put it on social media to show off. All the touching and twerking and licking on people gets reported too which means you’re probably going to get caught. What I don’t like is people quick to blame social media for they relationships messing up. You can’t blame social media sites for what you or partner did behind each other’s back. Just like when people blatantly flirt on social media they want to blame other people for their mistakes. Why not just break up with the person or not do the things that is considered cheating to start with? My thing is this, if social media broke up your relationship, how strong was your “relationship” anyways?

2017 Warriors vs. 2001 Lakers?

The Golden State Warriors as currently assembled are probably the best team in NBA history. They have the most likely the two best shooters in NBA history in Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson. They have a great defender in Draymond Green that can guard anyone on the court basically, not to mention Green makes plays for the Warriors on offense and is a great leader for them. Then they have Kevin Durant who’s easily the best scorer in NBA this generation. He’s seven feet tall and can handle the rock with such grace you wouldn’t think he’s actually 7 feet. They have a do it all player in Andre Iguodala who does everything for the team. A lot of people are saying this team will beat any team in a 7 game series. I’m here to dispute that claim. The 2000-2001 Los Angeles Lakers were an all time great team. They featured Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal and a perfect cast of role players around them. They ran the triangle offense perfectly taught by Phil Jackson and had Shaq protecting the

Anthony Davis THE MAN.

This NBA season has been full of incredible story lines, but one story seems to being overshadowed a little too much. Anthony Davis is a superstar basketball player. People are seeming to overlook that saying he's just a star because he hasn't won any playoff games, or they say he hasn't won any awards and things like that. The playoff wins are a bad point to me, to win a playoff series win the team he has currently constructed is comparable to the teams that Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson and Lebron James carried respectively. Those teams needed real life superstars to make it to the playoffs. Anthony Davis to be is not getting a fair shake to me in terms of being a superstar. He's has been dealt a bad hand overall. He has played on bad teams his whole career. The only thing I can hold against him is that he gets injured a lot. He has missed a lot of a games with a lot of injuries over his career. The New Orleans Pelicans went out and got DeMarcus Cousins last year at th
