Jets Ready To Make A Playoff Push

Now that the NFL camps are starting up again, it's time to talk some football. This week I'll be talking about the Jets and how they are preparing to make a playoff push. In the 2015-2016 season, the Jets finished 10-6 and just missed the playoffs, but it is evident they're hungry for a playoff appearance.

A few days ago, the Jets weren't aware if they would re-sign Ryan Fitzpatrick for financial reasons, but in the end he was re-signed to a one-year, $12 million deal. With Eric Decker -- along with Brandon Marshall, who is coming off a great year along with veteran Matt Forte -- the Jets shouldn't have any problem putting points on the board.

That's not all, though; the Jets have a solid offense, but they are known for their defensive presence. In previous years, while the offense struggled, the defense picked up the slack and in the 2015 season the defense finished fourth in the league in total yards allowed. Listen, if your defense is holding teams to under 20 points a game, you're in every game: and that is what the New York Jets do.

When analysts spoke to Eric Decker about a potential playoff run in the 2016 playoffs, the wide receiver was nothing but positive. "I think we're there, to be honest. We're set up with a tough schedule, a playoff team's schedule. You got to win your division games. I believe in this team and that we're ready to make the run now."

I'll keep it to three simple key points. For the Jets to be successful this year they need to have a healthy Matt Forte, they need Marcus Williams to step up and they need to pray that Ryan Clady stays healthy. Besides that, let the offense and defense do the talking.

The Jets open their season September 11th at 1 p.m. against the Bengals.

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.

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.
