The Power of Having Power.

The NFL season has come to a close and there is a lot stories going to be talked about. You have Tom Brady being in the front for MVP, Todd Gurley and the Los Angeles Rams turning it around after being awful last year, and also the Minnesota Vikings being the number 2 seed with a former backup quarterback. There are a bunch of other stories that we can talk about, but there’s one big one in my opinion that’s honestly not getting enough attention.

Roger Goodell most likely single handily ruined the Dallas Cowboys season with his vendetta against their running back Ezekiel Elliott. Elliot was suspended 6 games at the beginning of this NFL season for being charged with domestic violence against his ex girlfriend. The NFL did their investigation into the accusations and came to the conclusion that Elliott should be suspended because of what they found.

As the news came out about what happen that night, and one big then happened. We found out that Elliott wasn’t convicted of any crime. This leads you to believe that he would serve no disciplinary action for this situation because he was never convicted of any crime. People around started saying “If he was black he wouldn’t have gotten suspended.” This could be true, but I don’t believe that race has nothing to do with this certain situation. I believe that Goodell wasn’t to show his power once again as commissioner. If you know the history of this NFL commissioner you would see that his actions are kind of power hungry. He fought a flat ball case for 2 years basically and got Tom Brady suspended for 4 games because of a flag ball. He tried to get four players suspended because they wouldn’t show up to an interview. So as you see he has history of trying to exploit his powers as an league commissioner. I believe that Elliott was just the latest person to get caught by the power hunger surge he is trying to show.


Where would the Dallas Cowboys be if a power hungry commissioner wasn’t on a mission to show his power? We will never know.

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
