A Stance Now it's not like this David D’Amato will permanently cause any In today's society we world ending event as long lack many things that are as certain people stay in essential for not only a civil power but this mindset has and organized society but led to many dangerous these shortcomings can things. Since the 2016 lead to an end to society as election this one sidedness we know it. These has been used to mobilize shortcomings are in the voters and win an election ideal department, today we then in 2020 this was used are too one sided and most again to swing the party people cannot only think back the other way. This critically about things that just shows how the may not be within their polarization and bad viewset. mindset can lead to people being used and pushed to advance an addenda. Honesty… Madison Pede The first thing that came to mind when thinking about what I am passionate about was honesty. Honesty is very important to me because I am an understanding person and don’t like being lied to. Many problems can result from being dishonest, and to avoid those problems people just need to tell the truth. In my opinion I feel like people are scared of the truth in some situations and think lying or twisting the truth is a better opinion. I do not agree with this by any means. Everyone deserves the truth even if it may hurt, although finding out from someone else or figuring the truth out on your own can hurt even worse. I believe that if someone is scared to be honest with another person they could’ve possibly done something they shouldn’t have or known that the other person will be hurt or upset but the truth. However, this does not give anyone the right to not tell the truth. Perspectives The Importance of Courage Dominic Michels Courage is a vastly important trait to have in life. Courage can help one respond to risks swiftly and properly on a day to day basis, whether the risks be negative or positive. For example, courage may help you stand up to somebody bullying you or another, or even help you act fast in a pinch of danger, in the sense of bad risks. An example of courage helping you when it comes to positive risks could be applying for a job you may be nervous about and getting it, or even being the first to present a project and doing well on it. As you can see, courage is a very important trait to have when it comes to day to day life in your decision making process. Quarantine Now I get it, “oh great ANOTHER passage about quarantine and the year” but please, give me an attempt to be a bit different than the others, at least the ones that I’ve heard. I don’t intend to tell you how boring things can be, or the situation that is unfolding, I’m not even going to try and dictate for you that this is all a bad situation at all; that’s not my place to do and evidently there is a bigger picture afoot here to focus on for recovery beyond “I miss my friends”. Not to mention the important one, you’re living through it and I don’t need to tell you what you can see clearly and deduce for yourself. I just want to talk about a way that, if you think that this is all boring and troublesome, you can just possibly turn that around and find yourself a bit more cheerful. That way is mindfulness… in a way. I’m not trying to tell you to meditate, personally meditation makes me more irritable usually so I definitely am not going to recommend it when speaking of how to be a little bit happier; or well, it works for some so have at it if you want. But I want to stress the importance of your brain, rather than any particular breathing technique. I can most easily relate this to phobias, fears. When something traumatic happens, people can develop a fear for said thing and actively attempt to avoid it. Their brain remembers that trauma. That wonderful, or spiteful depending on how you want to look at it, brain makes you believe that it will happen again, and again, and again; and in efforts to prevent that trauma, you fear it and no longer wish to do it or be around it. Now that was extremely oversimplified but I’m sure that this is already running on longer than needed. To my point, put that natural mechanism to work. Believe, believe with all your brain and heart that quarantine is fun and positive, shift your perspective to try and be more optimistic and when you truly believe it you will feel the difference in mood about the situation. If that is hard to do, well that’s understandable, but just remember: “Fake it till you make it”. To wrap this all up, which evidently has been more about my tangents than actually discussing quarantine, one idea for making this positivity, think about all the people you are helping to keep out of risk by not risking exposure. If I could give a definitive answer I would, but there are too many possibilities and you will need to put in some work to find what works for you. With all that said, farewell and have a wonderful day/afternoon. Cleveland Super Fan Kwentin Foster I am passionate about many things such as the sports I play, Volleyball and Baseball. I am also passionate about the sports teams I watch, the Cleveland Browns, the Cleveland Indians, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Buffalo Sabres. The team that I like the most is the Cleveland Browns and am most passionate about. They did amazing last year going 11-5, going to the playoffs for the first time since 2002. They also won a Playoff game for the first time since 1994 beating the rival Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2020 sunday night wild card game by a score of 48 to 37. This tremendous victory came after many of the browns staff and players and most importantly, head coach were struck with Covid-19 , also that meant that the browns couldn’t practice not once during the week before the game. Kevin Stefankski, the head coach of the Browns, was sitting in the basement, eyes glued to the tv and going crazy after each time his team scored. Baker Mayfield, the quarterback of the Browns, ended that season with 8 interceptions, a huge improvement from the year previous in which he had 21. Nick Chubb, the running back for the Browns had a great year and was a big reason for the Browns success ended the season with 1,067 yards even with being injured for 3 games. The main thing that I wanted to happen this season was for Baker to establish himself as the franchise quarterback and he did, the Browns extended his contract through the 2023 season. Cont... Even though the Browns had a lot of success they struggled some on the defensive side of the ball, before the season even started cornerback Greedy Williams was announced out for the season with a shoulder problem. There was still hope for the cornerback situation with Denzel Ward there he would be able to cover most teams best receivers and he did that. Although the Browns needed big help in the Safety and linebacker positions they had a bright spot on the defensive line in Myles Garret he was able to get after the Quarterback and stop the run this year on some days though it wasn’t enough.This offseason the Browns have gotten the help they needed in Strong safety John Johnson, linebacker Anthony walker jr. and the biggest free agent signing of this off season defensive end Jadeveon Clowney who will be able to compliment Myles Garret nicely if both can stay injury free. My prediction for the next season for the Browns is a 13 and 4 record and losing to the Buffalo Bills in the Afc championship Nick Chubb will have 1,300 yards and baker mayfield will have only 5 interceptions while the defense will improve and lead the league in sacking the Quarterback. Trafficking Awareness Sofia Haak Abduction. Force. Manipulation. Abuse of power. In 2020, it was estimated by the International Labor Organization that there are 25 million victims of human trafficking throughout the world. Just in the US, 14,500-17,500 people are forced into many forms of physical abuse. Women and children are the main victims, but men are also affected by this. These traffickers put people in uncomfortable public situations and then act. They use manipulation and take away basic necessities such as food, water and shelter to break these people down so much mentally and physically to the point where it is easier to accept the fate rather than fight back. These traffickers are motivated by the fact they usually make around 4,000-5,000 dollars per person. It is very easy to feel helpless when it comes to situations like this, however there are many ways you can do your part and help. First, do your research. Learn the indicators of human trafficking. Malnourishment, avoiding eye contact and social situations, lack of official identification or personal objects and more are all things that can be used to identify victims.

Green at Cardinals practice today looked like the 2015 version,” Riddick tweeted. “He was on fire. Arizona has the potential to have top-five wide receiver group with DHop, AJ, Rondale Moore, and Christian Kirk.” The Cardinals have lots of depth now at QB: Kyler Murray saw his first snaps this preseason, but the wide receiver position with the additions for Green it was evident Kliff Kingsbury sees little value in giving and Moore this offseason. his superstar quarterback an extended preseason look. He played nine snaps against the Chiefs before giving TE: The tight end position remains one of the big way to Colt McCoy and Chris Streveler. Those nine question marks. Maxx Williams sits at the top of the snaps were discouraging, as Murray took two sacks and depth chart, but it is muddied with Darrell Daniels, only completed one pass.

  • Does Addition of Joe Flacco Make the Broncos a Playoff Team? by Ryan O’Halloran & Mark Kiszla Denver Post Feb
    Kiszla vs. O’Halloran: Does addition of Joe Flacco make the Broncos a playoff team? By Ryan O’Halloran & Mark Kiszla Denver Post Feb. 19, 2019 Kiz: Life is weird sometimes. Looking for respite from an arctic blast of winter in Wyoming last week, I sipped on a rye in Joe’s, which is proud to be the smallest bar in Rock Springs. And I was rocked by the news the Broncos had agreed to a trade for Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco. At first, I thought it must be a joke. Still do. Does football operations chief John Elway seriously think Flacco can be the key to a playoff run in 2019? O’Halloran: I was also surprised since it seems like the Broncos were bidding against themselves for Flacco instead of waiting for him to get released. I highly doubt Elway believes Flacco is the key for the Broncos to be 2019 contenders. And Elway shouldn’t believe Flacco represents even a big piece toward returning to respectability. Over the last four years, Flacco is 24-27 as a starter with 64 touchdowns and 46 interceptions. He is a long way removed from his lights-out postseason in 2012 in which he led the Ravens to the Super Bowl. The Broncos need to add many more players to be playoff-good. Kiz: OK, I get it. The Broncos have had better luck during the past 20 years with quarterbacks plucked from the recycle bin than QBs they selected in the NFL Draft. But Flacco isn’t Peyton Manning. Despite his Super Bowl ring, Flacco isn’t even Jake Plummer.

  • Denzel Ward: Did His Two-Pick NFL Debut Silence Bradley Chubb- Wanting Critics?
    Denzel Ward: Did His Two-Pick NFL Debut Silence Bradley Chubb- Wanting Critics? Author : Robert D. Cobb Remember all the collective moaning and whining from Browns fans after Cleveland selected cornerback Denzel Ward over defensive end Bradley Chubb in the 2018 NFL Draft? Thanks to his eye-opening NFL debut in picking off Ben Roethlisberger in the Browns 21-21 tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers, you haven't heard much complaining since, huh? Ward, selected fourth overall out of Ohio State, was taken one spot before the current Denver Broncos rookie defensive end out of North Carolina State. Many draftniks had Chubb going as high as No.2 to the New York Giants or no further than No.4 to Cleveland. Many in The Land wanted to see a PTSD-inducing, QB-soul crushing duo of Myles Garrett and Chubb so badly that many talked themselves--and Chubb at No.4--into existence. 1 / 3 Thankfully, Browns general manager John Dorsey had other ideas. Considering whom the Browns face twice a year in the likes of Antonio Brown, A.J. Green and now Michael Crabtree from Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Baltimore, the Browns suspect secondary needed to be addressed five minutes ago yesterday. Suspect is too kind. One didn't need to be Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery of how bad Cleveland's secondary was. And wisely enough, Dorsey pulled the trigger in getting perhaps the best DB in the whole Draft who played ball two hours down I-71 in Columbus. Surprisingly, many Browns fans were upset at the Ward selection.
