MM 2003-Austin Adair

          This past week two time MVP Shohei Ohtani signed the biggest contract in baseball history. The former Los Angeles Angels star moved down the street to the in-city rival Los Angeles Dodgers. He signed for 10 years $700 million, which is $300 million more than the 2nd highest paid player in the league, Mike Trout who signed for 12 years $426. The contract is absolutely insane, the fact that Ohtani has only been in the league for 3 years now and signed the biggest contract in history, it’s legendary.                                     Shohei’s contract was deferred which means that for the next 10 years while Ohtani is on contract he will be paid $2 million a year. From 2034-2043 Ohtani will be paid the rest of the $680 million left on his contract. The reason this is so important is because this allows the Dodgers to still be able to have c...

          Throughout his blog you get to learn lots of different things like pop culture, crime, and sports. Stetson Bishop throughout the year was the one blog I continuously found myself going back to. Whether I needed to get an idea or just to see if something new had been posted.  The layout of Stetson's blog made it very easy to scroll through and find new things or ideas. Coming in as a new student to the class I wasn't quite sure how to go about getting my own blog started. Stetson was helpful enough to show me a few pointers to help improve my own blog. Because of this I was able to start my blog by using similar ideas to his blog.  Some of the topics that I thought I'd find myself not particularly interested in. Stetson found a way to make it interesting, like the numeracy blog where he brought in the statistics about the voting for Rookie of the Year in the MLB. 

The app 18Birdies is an app that does multiple different things like being a GPS on the course to show how far away you are from the hole to help you choose the right club. It also becomes a scorecard for you and saves all your previous scores and gives you an average handicap after each round. Being able to know your handicap helps give a player the ability to know how many mulligans you’re able to take in tournaments if able. It also shows what you average each round so if your handicap is an 8 that means you average 8 shots over par when playing. The best and last feature about this app is the shot tracker. This gives you the ability to take video of your swing no matter where you are and it will give you feedback on what is wrong with your swing.

This year the Florida State Seminoles had an astounding record of 13-0. Sadly two weeks before the playoffs Jordan Travis the star quarterback suffered a broken leg in a game against North Alabama, on November 18 ending his season. Florida State would go on to win their next game against in-state rival the Florida Gators with backup quarterback Tate Rodemaker. However their final game was the ACC championship against the 14th ranked Louisville Cardinals. This time with third string quarterback Brock Glenn, they would find a way to rally and win a very close 16-6 game making Florida State the ACC champions. Glenn however showed very little to give people confidence Florida State was still a top four team without their star quarterback Jordan Travis.  The new ranking came out stating that Florida State has dropped to number five overall and number eight Alabama and seven Texas into the top four since Georgia lost this past week as well. The Seminoles are the first Power-5 undefeate...

          After the Arkansas Razorbacks finished their football season people knew something needed to change with the coaching staff. Not sure where to start though, head coach Sam Pittman really hadn't done bad since only being there for two years with a record of 16-10. Recently some concern has come since the Razorbacks turned to former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino to come back as offensive coordinator.  Bobby was a great coach at Arkansas and it has seemed as if the team has gone downhill since he was fired in 2012. As some know Petrino was caught having an affair on his wife with a younger lady after he wrecked his motorcycle with her on the back. The story was much more though, it went national and was all over the news after finding out he also had some “character issues.” Since this happened he has said that he has come to realize these problems and has been coping with them.            I believe that Petin...

For months Young Thug has been at trial fighting against his case after being charged with racketeering. He was 1 of 28 charged with this, with conspiracy to violate Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law, or RICO, with some accused of murder, attempted murder, armed robbery and other crimes.   The rapper's chances of winning this case seem to become less likely as time goes on. Recently a judge ruled that the rapper's own lyrics will be allowed to be used against him and his collaborators in court. Recently one of Thug's own artists that was signed under the YSL records had come out and admitted he pleaded guilty. This left many questions to the public, Gunna was known as one of Thug’s best rappers as well as one of his longtime friends. The rapper has since been let go for obvious reasons from YSL and has only done a few shows since finishing his own trial.  On the other hand it doesn't look like things are going to end anytime soon for Young Thu...
