Why ESPN:The First Take Should be Taken Off the Air

As you're probably wondering, the answer is no he did not lose his job over this accusation. His subjective opinion was once false again, considering the following day Chip Kelly proceeded to pick up Demarrco Murray. Who is in fact black, which therefor ruins Smiths opinion of releasing McCoy because of Racism. Reporters/newscasters have a duty to share actual news and facts of todays sports world. At what cost does having more tviewers mean you have to stop sharing the stats and real problems? If they are attempting to get attention they have received it, but not in a positive way. If they want to be known for their show then they have received it, but not in a positive way.

Stephen A. Smith once said:

"I report stuff weeks in advance and get vilified for it. But when it comes to fruition, no one remembers they vilified me…I won't tell you anything. I have nothing to prove. If you don't like it, don't watch me. I don't have to do it . I have a radio show, a TV show and a column. I don't need to do that." (bleacherreport.com)


To Smith, I say this:

If you spent half as much time trying to pick a special vocabulary word in a sentence then I would suggest channeling that energy into making an intelligent sports opinion that isn't subjective. And your right, I don't have to watch you. I don't care to watch you. I wish you would report real sports news. I don't have to watch your show and that is why I am telling other viewers not to watch this show.

ESPN… please stop this show and help the fans of sports. We want to hear the real sports news of 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.

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.
