NFL Heating Up

Last week my post was all about the NCAA  football playoffs. This week we will explore the NFL in depth. I won't talk much about playoff predictions because there are still many weeks in the regular season. Instead, we will follow some interesting stories from the past week.

Arguably the biggest story of the week is about Le'Veon Bell not coming back to the team before the deadline. If you aren't aware of this story, Bell hasn't played all season in hopes that his team the Steelers would pay him more money. This plan almost completely backfired because the backup running back James Conner has been absolutely electric and has become one of the best running backs in the league. Since Bell did not come back, he will not be able to play for the rest of the season, and will not be paid for playing.

Our second story to follow was the Cleveland Browns win over the high powered offense of the Atlanta Falcons. Now I'm not saying I called this, but I will say I told a classmate the brownies will come home with a win. The Browns took down the Falcons 28-16 with an interim head coach and a new offensive coordinator. Baker Mayfield, the Browns quarterback attributes the win to the fact that he woke up the morning of the game "Feeling dangerous". I think by the end of the season we may need another Hard Knocks episode.

Alright, I have to stop writing here. I'm getting too fired up about the Browns. Let me know how your team is doing!

    The Browns are on a roll. I can not believe they beat The Bengals. So many Browns fans are coming out and showing their support.

On my own for the first time

Move in day is one of the most exciting days of the year. College is the opposite of high school in that in high school, summer is the best time of the year and no one wants to go back to school, but in college, the best time of the year is when we are at school.  Saturday my parents drove up to ONU with me and helped me move in. I'm actually extremely surprised we were able to fit most my stuff in my little Honda Civic. After my parents left, my roommates and I got back to doing our normal sitting around and doing nothing. When my stomach started rumbling, I was reminded that I was going to have to cook for myself for the first time in my life. We took a trip to Wal-Mart that lasted about two hours too long, but after multiple phone calls to my mom, I felt confident that I had a cart full of food that I could cook up into something good. When we got home, however, I was quickly reminded of my terrible cooking skills. I ate the saddest stir fry of my life and then did the dishes.

Weekend of a Lifetime

This weekend a couple friends and I took our long awaited trip to Breakaway Festival in Columbus. This year was the second year of the festival.  As we parked you could already hear the bass booming and hear the voice of performers. The first night started out with Super Duper Kyle, who put on an upbeat and happy set. By the time Travis $cott came on we got pushed all the way to the back of the crowd, but that didn't matter to us.  He gave a great performance that ended with him playing the hit song "Goosebumps" three times. Oddly, it wasn't annoying that he played it more than once. If you went to his show in Cleveland over the summer, you heard him play the same song thirteen times, which set a world record. However, I was more excited for the second day. We managed to get about twenty feet from the stage when Playboi Carti started performing and didn't move until the end of the night after Diplo's set. The feeling that you have at a concert or music festi

3 Things to do in the Fall

Fall is the most fun part of the year. It is especially fun in Ohio because we get a longer fall in the midwest. I'm going through the top 3 fall activities to do in Ohio. 1. Suters Suters is in Allen County and offers many things to do! They have a cider mill, a pumpkin patch, hay rides, and a corn maze. I have personally been to Suters and I had a lot of fun! we messed around in the corn maze for hours and got lost multiple times. They eventually escorted us out. 2. Lynd Fruit Farm Lynd fruit farm is pretty famous in Columbus. It is THE place to go for all fall activities. They have about 5 billion different types of apples that you can pick as well as berries, pumpkins, and peaches. Lynd also offers a farmers market all through the fall that offers many different types of produce and ciders. 3. Tom's Maze Tom has one of the best corn mazes in Ohio. They offer an 8-acre maze as well as other types of mazes, such as a "no left turn" maze. They also have p
