NBA Season Is Back and That Makes Me Very Very Happy
We are back everyone. Time to rejoice because the NBA season tipped off this week. The greatest league in America is back playing meaningful games and I am here for all of it. Now that beach season has come to an end (which makes me sad), NBA season, even while being a die hard New York Knicks fan (which is like having a terminal illness), basketball season is the perfect pick me up. And this season is going to be excellent; so many story lines and narratives this year to talk about and I will be talking about a lot of it this year.

Marjorie RodenPublished 6 years ago in UnbalancedMy Top 5 Storylines for 2018-2019 NBA Season
So....it's been a while.... In my defence, I'm in first year engineering and tore my MCL in my first university rugby game so cut me some slack. Fortunately, I don't need surgery for those worrying (so like two people) and uni is, well, taking some getting used to.
Olamide OlatunbosunPublished 6 years ago in UnbalancedDoes Being Young Have an Advantage in Coaching?
It’s probably the question I think most about when I am around my teams. I fully believe it has its positives and negatives. Being the youngest coach not only in the Webster organization but even in the last three years of league play, sets me apart from the other coaches. I haven’t met a coach that doesn’t have a child on the team—easily putting them in the 30+ age bracket (sorry guys). I love being the young one out there, I can step on the ice during any clinic or our try hockey for free events and immediately connect with the kids much easier than any of the other coaches on the ice. Not saying it’s because I am a better coach, I’m saying it’s because of the age difference.
Olexander KolynyczPublished 6 years ago in UnbalancedWhere Is Jimmy Butler Going?
Where is Jimmy Butler going? There has been a lot of off-season drama in Minnesota locker room, with most of it focused on Jimmy Butler. So, what has happened? About a month ago, Butler requested a trade. But why? Honestly, it seems like he’s fed up with this Timberwolves team. I think it’s a combination of a lot of things. Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins, Jeff Teague, Tom Thibodeau, the front office, etc.
Shandon PendletonPublished 6 years ago in UnbalancedThe Cowboys' Wide Receiver Problem
The Cowboys made headlines this offseason when they parted with their long-time number one receiver, Dez Bryant. Bryant was the Cowboys leader in receptions (69), receiving yards (838), and receiving touchdowns (6) during the 2017 season. The Cowboys also lost tight end Jason Witten to retirement in the same offseason. Witten was the second on the team in receptions (63), third in yards (560), and second in touchdowns (5). The Cowboys lost their top two receiving targets in one offseason, and it certainly shows. Through the first six weeks, the Cowboys are 29th in passing yards, and quarterback Dak Prescott has had well-documented struggles. A big part of the struggles in the passing game is the Cowboys decision not to have a number one receiver and instead take on the receiver position by committee. The Cowboys brought in four new receivers for 2018, but none of them have been very productive. Let us look receiver by receiver to see what each brings to the table.

Fresh from outclassing Conor McGregor and then almost causing a full scale riot within the T-Mobile Arena at UFC 229, seemingly fearless Khabib Nurmagomedov has now turned his attention to undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather, challenging the 41 year old to a boxing bout. With both men undefeated in their respective sports, Khabib clearly feels he has the skills to topple one of Boxing's greatest, a feat McGregor failed to accomplish in his multi-million pound attempt in August of 2017.
