NFL Season Preview: NFC East Edition
ESPN

Football is finally back the NFL preseason kicked off this past weekend. We are less than a month away from the beginning ot the regular season and I'll be previewing the season division-by-division. The first division that'll be previewing is NFC East which is arguably the worst division in football.

2015 NFC East Division Standings

1 Washington Redskins 9-7

2 Philadelphia Eagles 7-9

3 New York Giants 6-10

4 Dallas Cowboys 4-12

Washington Redskins

The defending NFC East champs are looking to go back-to-back with Kirk Cousins leading the way. He was the best quarterback in the division last season and his play should improve going into his second season as the starter. Cousins is surrounded by the best group of position players in the division that includes wide receivers DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon, Jamison Crowder, and 1st round pick Josh Doctson. Not only are the skins loaded at wideout they have a great group of tight ends in Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis.

Washington's only question on offense is at running back. Alfred Morris departed in free agency and Matt Jones will step in as the starter after a solid rookie season.On the other side of the ball they've improved their terrible secondary by adding Josh Norman in free agency.

Projected Record 1st place 10-6

Dallas Cowboys

Every year Cowboys fans believe they are going to win the Super Bowl and this year is no different. Injuries ruined their season last year Tony Romo missed 12 games and Dez Bryant missed seven. If that tandem stays healthy this year paired with the fourth pick in the draft Ezekiel Elliott the Cowboys should be able to outscore anybody. But the problem is their defense three of their starters are suspended for at least four games to start the season.

Projected Record 2nd Place 7-9

New York Giants

The New York Football Giants have been mediocre for the past five seasons and enter this year with new Head Coach Ben McAdoo. Eli Manning will be under center for his 13th season looking to get his team back in the playoffs. Victor Cruz is finally back healthy and ready to line up alongside Odell Beckham Jr.

Projected Record 3rd place 6-10

Philadelphia Eagles

Philly will be the worst team in the division and may very well be the worst team in the NFL. Sam Bradford is back again as the starting quarterback even though Chase Daniel was signed and Carson Wentz was drafted. The organization has said that want to give the number two pick Wentz a redshirt year similar to the way the Green Bay Packers developed Aaron Rodgers.

Projected record 4th place 4-12

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
