Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles must import talent in order to win.

The 2016-17 Philadelphia Eagles fall short of a completely disappointing season. The Eagles, devastated by the Chip Kelly regime, were thought to be a large flop in the pre-season. Chip Kelly had single-handedly destroyed the team's talent pool. LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, etc. were all lost as a result of the poor coaching. Running three plays quickly was not an effective scheme for the NFL. Doug Pederson stepped up in the Head Coach position, and with the draft of Carson Wentz, the city felt some excitement. The Philadelphia Eagles started off the season undefeated. This fueled the city's thought that after years and years, this would be the Super Bowl winning team. This dream quickly soured as the Eagles would lose game and game again, but there's always next time for this team. What does this team need?

This team needs to increase the talent. The receiving core is mediocre at best. Jordan Matthews is a great receiver, but a great number 2, not number 1. Nelson Agholor has been a major bust, Josh Huff was cut after an arrest in New Jersey, and there really is no way to win a Super Bowl with such mediocrity. Darren Sproles is an amazing running back, but he is quite old and should not be taken the bulk of the workload for the offense. Overall, the Eagles must import more talent for the team to reach its greatest potential. The age old phrase for this Philadelphia team, better luck next year. If the Eagles can manage to get the talent, next year could be the year behind Carson Wentz.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
