What Ray Lewis And Cris Carter Leaving ESPN Means

According to Ryan Glasspiegel of The Big Lead, Ray Lewis and Cris Carter are out of their jobs at ESPN in favor of Randy Moss and Charles Woodson. The moves come after the departures of Trent Dilfer and Mike Ditka from his “NFL Countdown” gig on the network.

When all is said and done, these moves are huge for the network, and not just for their star-power. Sure, Moss and Woodson are some of the biggest names the NFL has ever seen, and will bring a lot of fresh perspectives to big NFL issues, but the main thing many are happy about will be the neutrality that comes with the hirings.

Lewis and Carter have been known for their bias and bashing of players in some big spots, including Carter telling rookies they should have a “fall guy,” in case they got arrested, and his bashing of Tom Brady and the Patriots' deflategate scandal.

The moves will bring in the league veterans Moss and Woodson to the ESPN fray, and provide an analytical improvement that will surely bring up the quality of the network’s “Countdown” programs. Moss spent last season at Fox Sports, appearing in segments with Colin Cowherd, gaining experience in the analysis and commentator-type role after his record-breaking career as a wide receiver. Woodson will immediately jump into his new role after his final season in the league, where he finished as one of the top defensive backs the league has ever seen.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
