Interview With My Mom

-

 While doing this blog the last six weeks, I've noticed that I have written about my personal life a lot more than I imagined I would have when we first started. One of those things is about my mom and my dad. So, for my interview for class this week I decided to interview my mom on some of the things she experienced as a widowed mother when raising my brother (Sam) and I.

Top 5 Super Bowls That I’ve Watched

 I’ve been a real big sports fan ever since I was about 7 years old. Even though I’m a baseball player, my love for sports started with football. The first ever football game that I watched was Super Bowl XLIV in 2010 between Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. Ever since that game I’ve been all about sports all the time.  When trying to come up with an idea for a top five list for my class that would be able to fit my sports theme for the blog, I decided to go back to where my love for sports all started. So without further ado, here are the top five Super Bowls that I have witnessed in my life.  5: Super Bowl LII- Philadelphia Eagles vs. New England Patriots   This game is added to the list because all in all it was a fantastic game, and it was won by someone no one expected to win. The Philadelphia Eagles, led by backup quarterback, Nick Foles, came into this game as huge underdogs to the Tom Brady led New England Patriots. They ended up playing a heck ...

Hello everyone! My name is Jacob Spanyer, and I am a collegiate student-athlete in Louisville, Kentucky. I am somewhat struggling on figuring out how to word all of this, I've never really written about myself or my own work ever so I'm kind of just winging it here.  The way that I got into writing is actually a pretty funny story. I am one of those people who went to college with basically no idea of what they wanted to study when they got there. I had gone through a couple of different majors and tested out a couple of classes that went towards specific majors and I was still completely lost. Then at the beginning of this school year, I was in a basic English class that I am pretty sure everyone is required to take, and I was assigned to write an essay on a cultural icon.

The Madden Series Just Keeps Proving That EA Doesn't Care Anymore

(This hilarious picture is courtesy of a twitter account named @MaddenNeedsHelp ) Electronic Arts has gotten more and more backlash for their Madden series in the last couple years than I think they ever have before, and it is 100% warranted. Playing this game has become more and more frustrating year in and year out, and as someone who loves the game of football and wants to play a football video game that they can enjoy, I can't stand it anymore. I've been able to tolerate it in past years, but this year was the final straw. Literally after a month of owning the game, I uninstalled it as I raged to my friends in our Xbox party about it. Whether it's the franchise mode that they put no effort into, the face of the franchise mode that everyone agrees is a horrible experience, or the actual gameplay itself... I am tired of this game and tired of giving my money to EA every year. This game is going to continue to go downhill, and there are many reasons why.  Franchise Mode As...
