Rylan Frydman - Week Three: Football Injuries

  Rylan Frydman - Week Three: Football Injuries


Football - Injuries - Spinal Cord Injuries - National Football League - NFL - Texans - Houston - The New York Times



    Football is one of the most exciting, popular, sports played. The thrill of scoring a touchdown or making a big catch just makes the sport that much more amazing. However, with football comes injuries, many many injuries. Every week, different players get hurt, some better and some worse. Injuries truly ruin the game of football and every other sport played. 

These past couple of weeks as football has begun, I have had an amazing time watching and cheering on the teams and players. Yet I have witnessed multiple injuries that just make you feel terrible for the players. For example, in Week 1 of the NFL, Aaron Rodgers had a season ending injury that will keep him out until next year. If you didn’t know, Aaron Rodgers is an NFL quarterback of 18 years in the NFL, and he was going to play his first game with a new team and on the first drive, about 1 minute into the game, he suffered a season ending injury. Just like that his season was over, and with age catching up to him, he may not have many more. This week as well, while watching football, I witnessed one of the worst injuries I’ve seen in my life. I couldn't fathom what he was going through at the time. The player was Nick Chubb and he was starting the year looking like one of the best running backs in the league. However, in the second half of the game, he had a very gruesome injury that will keep him out for the rest of the year and maybe more. Possibly ending his career. 

I love football very much, yet traumatic injuries that occur way too often, simply ruin the game for fans and players. These injuries have short and long term effects on the players for the rest of their life, including concussions, ACL, MCL, and many more. Injuries are the worst, they ruin the game of football and affect player's career. Can any of you recall an injury that ruined or affected a player sports career?

Anna Shimonovitc: Week 9 - Northern Attitude by Noah Kahan (with Hozier)

Image
    I haven't actually listened to a lot of Noah Kahan songs, but I have listened to a lot of Hozier songs. I want to specifically discuss Hozier's new song, Northern Attitude, in heavy detail. It's not actually Hozier's song, but he is featured in it. It's a song by Noah Kahan, who you might know from his recently popular song, Stick Season. I don't know what other songs he sings, but oh my god. This new song. It's so amazing and if anyone argues with me they're wrong. The reason I'm even listening to it is because the Andrew Hozier-Byrne sings in it. And when I say listening I mean that I am in a perpetual state of listening to this song, always playing, even if it's just stuck in my head on a loop. The song is just such a good vibe. Like I have no other way to describe it because I'm not going to spend my time actually interpreting the lyrics as if I have nothing else to do besides wonder what some dudes were thinking when they were writi...

Josh Matheson - Week 9; First AP Lang Essay

Image
Last week, we had our first in class timed essay and let's just say it did not go according to plan.  Going into the first essay, I was focused on completing the essay within the 40 minutes and have a great thesis, that can be backed up with enough evidence.  The essay was both a success and a fail, as I finished in time which was one of my concerns, but I did not get specific enough and tie enough evidence back to my thesis.  I realized that even though I had the evidence the most important thing to explain is why the speaker uses that choice.  This generally is what destroyed me because I had the evidence, but did not get specific enough and just left everything vague.  Fortunately,  I am confident that next time will be better,  since this is my first AP essay and the best way to improve is through practice and experiences.  On this essay, I received a 2.5, which is not too good of a score, but at least I will have the revision in order to fix ...

Mia Garaz, Week 9, Nothing To Watch!

Image
With the various amounts of streaming services, such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Max, and more, you would think the possibilities of films to watch are endless! However, lately, this has not been the case. I find myself scrolling for hours, and still, nothing catches my eye. Possibly, this is due to the algorithm. It may not be calculating as well as it should. Though, I don’t feel this is the case. I think there is a major lack of TV series and movies to view across all platforms. Even when they do come out with new releases, they tend to lack substance or an interesting plot. What I have noticed a lot is that the creators and directors are trying to create “relatable” content. Still, it just ends up being cringey (and in my opinion, overly politically correct). With such curated/censored content it destroys the reality and relatability that they were trying to achieve. The sadness of it all is, unfortunately, that it is extremely difficult for a “classic” to be made in this day and ag...
