Looking Forward Into The 2017 Football Season

Looking Forward Into The 2017 Football Season

Sundays have been made great again thanks to the return of Sunday Night Football!

Get your NFL gear ready: all of the beer you can consume in one sitting, because this season is bound to be exciting as the last. Of course, there is already lots of controversy happening with this being the first week of football being back. Being from Boston, of course I am going to write all about my boys, The New England Patriots.

Every person that doesn't like the Patriots:

(You only hate us 'cause you ain't us)

Can we just talk about the elephant in the room, though?

EDELMAN IS OUT FOR THE SEASON...

During the Patriots first pre-season game against the Detroit Lions, Edelman suffered a torn ACL to his right knee during the first quarter. It was confirmed Sunday, August 20, 2017 that Julian Edelman will be out for the entire 2017 season. Multiple players and even Belichick wish him a speedy and complete recovery; they will move forward with other resources that they have. If everyone could stop tearing their ACLs and getting injured, that'd be great. We just got Gronk back you guys. (ESPN)

#OperationClownFace

Yup, you're seeing it. That is Barstool Sports' own Dave Portnoy (El Presidente) waving the image we've all come to know and love since Goodell suspended Tom Brady for four games in the 2016 season. I am not sure when this happened, but on the day of the Patriots first 2017 season game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Dave also did an interview with CSN, along with other news stations and media outlets. I give Prez a standing ovation for dropping the F bomb in Felger's face and for speaking so well while intoxicated on live television. It was rumored that Goodell did not stay for long at Gillette, for he spoke before many fans would show up. In the interview conducted with CSN and Dave, Felger claims that Goodell doesn't care about #OperationClownFace. He doesn't care, you say? The man showed up to speak early because he knew what he would be walking into if he showed up with a stadium full of Patriots fans. Although some Patriots fans were already in the stands, he was given the proper "welcome" aka, booing him as he entered and exited the stadium. Boston may have the most obnoxious sports fans, but we stick by what we believe in; Goodell is a d**che.

We lost the season opener, now what?

Now what? Stop stressing about it! So what if we lost. Not too worried about it. We have lost three season openers during the Tom Brady era: 2001, 2003; 2014. Guess what seasons we won the Super Bowl during the Tom Brady era? That's right, those seasons! It's not certain that we will win the Super Bowl again this year (or even make it there) but don't be a fake fan and only support because you full-heartedly believe that that will absolutely happen, because it just might not. But let's hope it does. (Boston.com)

Next game:Away on Sunday, September 17, 2017 at 1:00pm against the New Orleans Saints. (NFL.com)

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
