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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
