Looking Forward Into The 2017 Football Season

Sundays have been made great again thanks to the return of Sunday Night Football!

Get your NFL gear ready: all of the beer you can consume in one sitting, because this season is bound to be exciting as the last. Of course, there is already lots of controversy happening with this being the first week of football being back. Being from Boston, of course I am going to write all about my boys, The New England Patriots.

Every person that doesn't like the Patriots:

(You only hate us 'cause you ain't us)

Can we just talk about the elephant in the room, though?

EDELMAN IS OUT FOR THE SEASON...

During the Patriots first pre-season game against the Detroit Lions, Edelman suffered a torn ACL to his right knee during the first quarter. It was confirmed Sunday, August 20, 2017 that Julian Edelman will be out for the entire 2017 season. Multiple players and even Belichick wish him a speedy and complete recovery; they will move forward with other resources that they have. If everyone could stop tearing their ACLs and getting injured, that'd be great. We just got Gronk back you guys. (ESPN)

#OperationClownFace

Yup, you're seeing it. That is Barstool Sports' own Dave Portnoy (El Presidente) waving the image we've all come to know and love since Goodell suspended Tom Brady for four games in the 2016 season. I am not sure when this happened, but on the day of the Patriots first 2017 season game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Dave also did an interview with CSN, along with other news stations and media outlets. I give Prez a standing ovation for dropping the F bomb in Felger's face and for speaking so well while intoxicated on live television. It was rumored that Goodell did not stay for long at Gillette, for he spoke before many fans would show up. In the interview conducted with CSN and Dave, Felger claims that Goodell doesn't care about #OperationClownFace. He doesn't care, you say? The man showed up to speak early because he knew what he would be walking into if he showed up with a stadium full of Patriots fans. Although some Patriots fans were already in the stands, he was given the proper "welcome" aka, booing him as he entered and exited the stadium. Boston may have the most obnoxious sports fans, but we stick by what we believe in; Goodell is a d**che.

We lost the season opener, now what?

Now what? Stop stressing about it! So what if we lost. Not too worried about it. We have lost three season openers during the Tom Brady era: 2001, 2003; 2014. Guess what seasons we won the Super Bowl during the Tom Brady era? That's right, those seasons! It's not certain that we will win the Super Bowl again this year (or even make it there) but don't be a fake fan and only support because you full-heartedly believe that that will absolutely happen, because it just might not. But let's hope it does. (Boston.com)

Next game:Away on Sunday, September 17, 2017 at 1:00pm against the New Orleans Saints. (NFL.com)

5 Benefits Of Learning Different Languages

It's a pain to learn but it's definitely worth it in the end.

learning different languages

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
