This is the time of year that all sports fans rejoice. All the leagues come together to form one big October conglomerate of sports.

Baseball Postseason is in full swing (and it's been a doozy), college football is chaotic as always, and the NFL continues, as NBA has finally tipped off after one of the craziest offseason ever. Then there's college basketball on the horizon.

In celebration, I decided a good way to celebrate was to find some of the greatest sports commercials ever made. There's nothing like a goosebump inducing, inspiring, classic commercial to get you pumped for sports.

Most of these are basketball because, well, basketball is probably the easiest, most fun and consistent sport to make commercials for. Plus, the NBA just started. Let's begin, shall we?

1. Rule Yourself (Tom Brady, Under Armour)

It's Tom Brady. The Goat. Then it's an army of Tom Brady's. An army of Goats. Dang.

2. Come Out of Nowhere (Lebron James, Nike)

This is from the beginning of last season but it still gives me chills. I'll never forget Lebron's career defining moment. I'll never forget where I was or how I felt when he flew through the air to block that shot in the 2016 NBA Finals. Sports, man.

3. Failure (Michael Jordan, Nike)

Michael Jordan spitting wisdom about how failure leads to success? Yes please.

4. Hittin' Em (Russell Westbrook, Jordan)

This is also a hype video from last season, but it still jams today. Russell Westbrook is still doing what he wants as the reining MVP and Kevin Durant's departure from OKC is a little less damaging with Paul George and Carmelo Anthony joining the Thunder squad. Can Russ finally get his much deserved ring? I hope so. Thunder Up!

5. Ripple (Rory Mcllroy, Nike Golf)

Yeah, it's golf. I don't know what's going on in the golf world right now, but this commercial is too good not to include. It's no doubt one of the best sports commercials ever made. It's basically a very short film about Rory Mcllroy growing up watching his favorite golfer, Tiger Woods, and then playing with him when he becomes a pro golfer himself. Cue that story with the piano score and tears and chills and so many emotions ensue. Sports, man! There's magic in every sport.

6. Michael Jordan vs. Himself (Gatorade)

We're going to lighten it up again here. Old MJ pitted against younger MJ. Genius, Gatorade, just genius.

7. Don't Love me. Hate me. (Kobe Bryant, Nike)

I never hated Kobe. I never loved Kobe either, but he was good at basketball and I remember how cool this commercial was.

8. Together (Lebron James, Nike)

Lebron finally did it for Cleveland two years after this commercial.

9. Derek Jeter Farwell Ads Compilation (Nike/MLB/Gatorade)

This is three commercials in one video, because all of the farewell commercials to Derek Jeter in 2014 are classics. The Captain retired after the 2014 season and baseball still isn't the same.

10. Look Me in the Eyes- Become Legendary (Jordan)

This is probably the most motivational sports commercials ever, and a good one to end on.

There you go. Sports, man, they're so magical yet so real. It's the best sports time of the year. Let us relish in it. Postseason baseball today, NBA basketball tomorrow, college football on Saturday, NFL on Sunday. Wow.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
