The Patriots Ruin The Fun in Football

A great team, but just stop already.

The Patriots Ruin The Fun in Football

(WARNING: I am an Eagles fan, and this will probably sound biased).

Dear Friends,

Football has begun and things are already going wrong. Players are getting injured left and right, teams are losing by 43 points or more, and the Dolphins just suck. There's nothing really shocking about that last statement, but can we just take a moment of silence for this team? RIP to Miami man.

Anyways, I would like to talk about the Patriots today because who doesn't love the Patriots? Oh, wait.

Literally any fan of any other NFL team.

Don't get me wrong, the Patriots are a talented team. Tom Brady is an overly talented quarterback, the offense is insane, and all that crap. They won 6 Super Bowls, tying up with the Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowl wins.

Over the past couple of years, there has been this formation of hatred toward the New England Patriots. There was the whole Deflate-Gate issue a few years back. There was the issue with Robert Kraft (still lol). There was the issue with them supposedly cheating with the refs of the game. There's the thing where they just keep going to the Super Bowl every damn year. There's ALSO this thing where they picked up AB who is accused of raping a woman and was nowhere to be found after his debut against the Dolphins (RIP) in week 2.

Things are just super fishy when it comes to this team.

Do they cheat? I don't know. Are they annoying to watch for anyone that isn't a Patriots fan? Yes. Are they actually a good team? Absolutely.

Listen, I am an Eagles fan as stated in the warning above. I hate the Patriots. I hate watching them and I hate seeing anything Patriots related. They annoy the crap out of me. It was the best feeling in the WORLD when we beat them in the Super-Bowl 2 years ago. Though I hate the Patriots with all my might, I cannot just ignore the fact that they are indeed a talented team. I hate saying that, but it is true. THERE ARE STILL TIMES WHERE THEY DEFINITELY CHEAT OR SOMETHING BECAUSE BILL BELICHICK IS SKETCHY.

Woo, that felt good to say.

I have mixed feelings about this team. I probably shouldn't be writing this article, but what can ya do?

Overall though, this team just sucks the fun out of football for every other NFL fan that hates them. They killed the Dolphins in Week 2 and they put the Steelers to shame in Week 1. They play the Jets in Week 3 and I have a feeling they'll win that too. It's safe to say that probably every football fan who isn't a fan of the Patriots, hates watching them and hates hearing about them winning all the time. They suck the fun out of football. That's just my opinion though.

To all you Patriots fans out there, I am sure you are great people, but a lot of people will probably trash talk you because of who your favorite team is. Don't say that you have 6 Super Bowls or that you have the goat at QB because no one wants to hear that crap. Trust me.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed this article. Make sure to check out my other previous articles, and I will see you all next time with a new topic of discussion. GO BIRDS!

Your Friend,

Al

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
