Miami to MVP: Christian Yelich
Swimming in the waters of Miami, MLB player Christian Yelich, would’ve never imagined he’d be in Milwaukee in an MVP race. With Derek Jeter at the helm of the Marlins organization, he decided it was time to rebuild and they should trade their good players for multiple valuable prospects. After the death of Jose Fernandez, all the Marlins’ previous rebuilding was burned down; they had no ace to lead them to contention. All that was left was the tremendous trio of Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, and Christian Yelich.

The No Fun League… a.k.a the NFL
The NFL has a reputation of being America’s ‘no fun’ league for multiple seasons. From penalties due to excessive celebration or customized footwear, the NFL is on its way to becoming the most hated league by its own players. Recently though, the NFL has become more lenient with uniform regulations and what players can and cannot wear on their feet.
The Celtics 2019 Season

Rookie Spotlight: First Impressions
Late round players often emerge as huge stars; players like Antonio Brown, Richard Sherman, and last year’s standouts Kareem Hunt and Alvin Kamara, were all post-3rd round picks. Tom Brady, arguably the greatest QB of all-time, was picked in the sixth round. However this season, it’s top picks like Sam Darnold and Saquon Barkley that the fans are excited about, and the beginning of the season has been no disappointment.
JUSTICE SERVED ON THE COURT
Being an athlete is tough, but being a female athlete can be extremely challenging. Although men and women are equal in the sense of athleticism there tends to be a double standard in the media in the way female athletes are treated. Instead of focusing on their athletic abilities, magazines are often more focused on what the athlete is wearing than the game itself.
Sporting a Large Stipend

2018 NBA Playoff Predictions
The NBA Playoffs are officially underway and they’re already full of ups and downs. From Kawhi Leonard quitting on his team to the Khris Middleton buzzer beater to send the Celtics and Bucks into overtime, it has been proven that this year will be one of the best years the NBA playoffs has ever had. The competition is intense in both conferences, rookies such as Ben Simmons, Jayson Tatum, and Donovan Mitchell have been holding their own, and of course surprises have occurred. Just a quick note: my predictions were made before the playoffs officially began, and have not been altered or changed in anyway in response to their first game or two of the first round.

Ben Simmons is leading the 76ers into the sunset that is the NBA Playoffs as the 3-seed, and is the leading candidate for Rookie of The Year. Not to mention the team is also on a 14 game win streak. The kid can flat out ball. He leads the rookie class in assists, rebounds, and steals, and also has 36 triple doubles this season, which is the new current record for rookies.
Why Saquon Barkley and the Giants are a Match Made in Heaven
In the end, whichever team picks him up, will enjoy the fruits of massive success. Whether it be the Browns, Jets, or Giants.
