Things Tom Brady Can Do During His Suspension

After many months of speculation and investigation, the "Deflategate" scandal of the New England Patriots has finally come to a conclusion. If you are behind on the current sports drama, Tom Brady, quarterback of the Patriots and the team were accused and penalized for deflating footballs to under the minimum requirement during the AFC championship game last season. The NFL investigated the claims and on Monday May 11, released a statement saying that Brady, the Super Bowl MVP, "will be suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2015 regular season for conduct detrimental to the integrity of the NFL." The league also fined the Patriots $1 million and took away two draft picks, including next year's first-round choice, "for the violation of the playing rules and the failure to cooperate in the subsequent investigation."

Tom Brady is currently appealing the suspension for the first four games of the season, but for a moment, we are going to assume the ruling is upheld and ponder what Tom Brady could do during his four games off…

1. He could drive around in his Ferrari.

2. He could throw a birthday party for one of his kids.

3. He could host a pool party.

4. He could go on a romantic trip in a hot air balloon with his supermodel wife.

5. He could even get started on his Christmas decorations.

6. And finally, he could use the time to polish The Lombardi trophy.


As you can see, Tom Brady has a lot of options for what he can do while he is suspended. Let's hope, instead, he takes the time to ponder the mistake he made and come back to play without any more incidents. Hopefully, for the Patriots and all of Massachusetts, the NFL will agree with Brady's appeal, but for the sake of every other team in the NFL (especially the best team in the NFL—the Saints), let's hope the ruling sticks.

And to all you big tough NFL players, look to Brady as a warning when thinking about deflating your team's balls. And even if to you "those balls are perfect," DON'T do it. It is obviously not worth it to get yourself suspended and lose two vital draft picks (not that I am a football expert or anything.)

Go Saints!

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.

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.
