NFL 2024 Post-Midseason, 4 Contenders and 4 Pretenders (Sports)

By

            The NFL season has passed its midway point and you know what that means we are past the hopefully faze the real phonies are out aka the jets and the contender field has gotten smaller. While the world wonders who might be Super Bowl bound it feels like it might still be up in the air. Yet still there are a few fakes and some sneaky contenders out there. So let’s jump into 4 contenders and 4 pretenders. 

Contender #1 Chiefs 

    As much as I want the Chiefs to lose, they just keep winning. From a young age I was taught to be the champ until proven otherwise. So I’ll follow my teachings on this one.


Pretender #1 Commanders 

    I don’t mean to be a downer but rookie QBs, even great ones, don't typically make it all that far in the playoffs. For the first time in a longtime the future is bright in Washington I just don’t think this year screams Super Bowl for the nation’s capital 


Contender #2 Bills 

    This might be the least flashy iteration of the Bills since the Josh Allen era started and that might be exactly what Sean McDermott is comfortable coaching.


Pretender #2 Falcons 

    The Falcons have all the talent in the world and solid QB play finally from Cousins but they just scream upset in the wild card. If you don’t agree, watch that game against Seattle. Yikes. 


Contender #3 Lions

    The entire roster is stacked and even when Jared Goff throws FIVE picks they win. It’s officially time to say that if the Lions don’t make the Super Bowl this season is a waste.


Pretender #3 Vikings 

    I have loved the Sam Darnold renaissance even as it’s slowed a bit but this team just feels like the Case Keemun team that got absolutely bitch slapped by Philly in the NFC championship. Sorry Minnesota that’s about as far as I think they can go if that.


Contender #4 Steelers 

    Russell Wilson has done this before and his magic seems back. Make no mistake the defense has been ready for the big time. 


Pretender #4 Ravens 

    Perhaps my hottest take on this list. Just as I stated you are who you are until you prove otherwise and when the lights get bright Jackson shrinks. I don’t like it but that’s the reality. Plus the defense isn’t near as good as they were last year.

Ten Movies You Should Be Excited For In 2025 (Movies)

By
          Tis the season for optimism but w e are sort of nearing a tipping point. The war rages on between the cinema and streamers with no true end in scope. Yet in a time where many have chanted to survive till 2025 we are finally here and my normally pessimistic self can’t help but feel excited for what is to come. From Cruise to Marvel here are the 10 movies you should be excited for. 10: 28 Years Later  A sequel not quite 28 years in the making presents a stacked cast with Aaron Taylor-Johnson to name one. Not to mention the new and innovative way of filming could change the game of how movies look from here on out.  9: F1 Brad Pitt, an old movie star, pairs up with the director of Top Gun Maverick for a high speed racing movie in the world of one earth's fastest growing sports. Hell. Freaking. Yeah.  8: Micheal  Music bio picks may feel the same each time yet we keep on going and they keep getting awards buzz. Expect no...

Time Out of Mind: Bob Dylan (Music)

By
For as long as I could remember, the adults in my life had always referred to me as an old soul. I was fond of the title, leaned into it even. To further claim my title of old soul, I avoided modern culture: books, movies, but especially music. Maybe by admitting this I’m predating myself and going against the pride I take in being an old soul but here goes: I had no idea who Bob Dylan was until I heard about him in my favorite movie mere years ago. Both the artist and Time Out of Mind , his smashing comeback album, were unfamiliar to me until they provided a large bit of source material for Dan Fogelman’s film Life Itself . Upon listening to his album, I realized the literary and musical goldmine that was Time Out of Mind . I had so much to say on this album that I had to go back to my writing process roots and write this article on an old coffee-stained memo pad to make sure I mentioned everything worth discussing.  Now I can only humbly hope that you see and hear what I do whil...
