A must-have for all sports fans.

Firefan: The Next Big Thing?
FireFan

FireFan is a new sports app that you play while you watch your favorite sports team. Join a game on the FireFan app before the game begins, for example the Patriots-Broncos game. When you join, you make pre-game picks by answering questions on the app such as, "Will Tom Brady throw for at least three touchdowns?" or "how many receiving yards will New England running backs total?" with the answer options being 0-50, 51-100, 101-150, or 150+.

Then, throughout the game, the app will ask you more questions. For football games, it is every drive when new picks are available. At the start of every drive, you will be asked questions such as "will a tight end catch a pass for more than 10 yards?" or "what will the first play of the drive be?".


For each question you get correct, you get a certain amount of points and your points add up throughout the game. There is a leaderboard that you can view to see how you are stacking up against other players. There is also a chat section where you can talk to and also talk smack with (if you're into that) other players.

The points you earn can be used to get prizes. Smaller prizes include sports gear or tickets to games. Bigger prizes can be trips or even a car. The prizes section has not been added to the game yet, but it is coming soon. At the moment, the app is primarily football, but in a week or two, they will be adding the NHL and NBA and other sports further off in the future.

The way you join games is by tokens, which can be earned either by buying them or by using a feature where you watch a 30-second ad for free tokens — this is the method most people use. The more tokens you have, the more games you can play.

When you first make an account, you will be asked a referral code. You do not have to put one in, but if you do, you will get free tokens to start out with. My referral code is BDiehards. That is the easier way to do it, but you can also sign up with the links in my Twitter and Instagram accounts (Bostons Diehards).


There are also leagues of players you can join. For example, my league is called Bostons Diehards. There are also MVP leagues which are run by famous people and celebrities (Kevin Garnett is one of them for all you Boston fans).

The game is quite fun. I have played for the past few weeks during the Patriots games and it has been extremely entertaining and engaging. By the time the full app is out, it should be even more fun!

Quite a few people have already signed up, but the more people the better. If this sounds interesting to you then you should definitely try it out. To me, it is a must-have for all sports fans. So make this the next big thing! Go download FireFan, use my referral code when you sign up (BDiehards), join my league (Bostons Diehards) and start playing with me and other sports fans today!

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.

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.
