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.

Taylor Swift Albums Ranked

By
If you have come here because you read the title of this article and are a die hard Taylor Swift fan ready to defend your favorite songs that didn’t make the list, you’ve come to the right place. Let me preface your reading experience by first saying that I have always been one to have a few unpopular opinions and I am subject to bias (who isn’t about something so close to your heart?). I have favorite albums and albums that have been clouded by my sister overplaying two songs from it that have led to its untimely grade in my overall ranking of Taylor Swift albums. Feel free to disagree. Or agree. But first, let me explain why this article has been placed in oh-so-capable hands. My sister and I have been Taylor Swift fans since her debut album (one ‘Taylor Swift’) was released in 2006. We listened to it obsessively on our bubblegum pink Hello Kitty CD player on a continuous loop. Times haven’t changed much; now we just listen to the Tortured Poet’s Society and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) o...
