lax 2017

As I'm sitting here writing my blog I'm getting ready for yet another lacrosse game, it's pretty surreal that it's my last season playing my only high school sport. It's pretty surreal that I've been playing this game ever since freshmen year. I went from being a scrub to an eventual captain of the varsity lacrosse team. It's gonna be bittersweet leaving a team that I've been with for four years but it's too early to be thinking about that. Today we play Hodgson and we're looking to stay undefeated. Though my play isn't always top notch and though I'm unworthy of a captain spot at times, I'm grateful for the opportunity to play a sport knowing many others would do anything to play. 

eagles talk

This past week, the Philadelphia Eagles made a few notable moves as they look to improve from last year's season. The most notable move was the signing of Alshon Jeffery to a one-year, 14 million dollar contract. This deal is likely one where Jeffery has to prove his skills before the Eagles consider signing him to a longer contract. Despite his freak athleticism, Jeffery has had an injury-plagued career. If Jeffery can play a healthy season this year, the Eagles offense will be tough to beat. In addition to the signing of Alshon Jeffery, the Eagles also signed former 49ers wideout Torrey Smith. With the struggles of the Eagles receiving corps, signing Jeffery and Smith will not only bring more explosiveness to the offense but also more veteran leadership. In a young Eagles offense, both wideouts will look to bring an immediate impact to a team that struggled to breakout last season
