  • Teaching Kids at Home Due to Coronavirus? Homeschooling Moms Share Their Tips
    Teaching kids at home due to coronavirus? Homeschooling moms share their tips "Your 'school day' will not be perfect, and that's OK. Just try to remember you're adjusting to something new and there will be some bumps along the way." March 13, 2020, 12:12 PM EDT / Source: TODAY By Terri Peters As the new coronavirus spreads, schools across the country are closing their doors and encouraging parents to help kids complete schoolwork at home until risk of catching or spreading COVID-19 have passed. For parents, the question is, how? TODAY Parents sought advice from homeschooling parents on how to teach kids at home. Fox Sports reporter and host of the "Players with Lindsay Czarniak" podcast Lindsay Czarniak, wife of TODAY co-anchor Craig Melvin, shared one of her survival techniques on Instagram this week: a hand-written schedule outlining her kids' "school" day at home. "This was more for me than the kids but with a couple weeks of hunkering down ahead for them I followed the advice one of my son's teachers shared," Czarniak wrote in her post, joking that "Recess/PE was waaay too long but I had a meeting." Journalist and college professor Alissa Wilkinson solicited help from homeschooling parents on Twitter, asking for advice for "people who are going to be trying to 'do school' at home for the next month," and received suggestions ranging from knocking out difficult subjects first thing in the morning to making sure to get up and get dressed before starting schoolwork to optimize success. For parents who, like these moms, are asking, "What do I do now?" we talked to moms who homeschool and rounded up 12 tips for homeschooling your kids — even if just temporarily — during the coronavirus pandemic.

  • After Exciting Kickoff Weekend, Here Comes Week 2
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 9/15/15 http://twitter.com/nfl345 AFTER EXCITING KICKOFF WEEKEND, HERE COMES WEEK 2 The NFL got “Back to Football” with a thrilling Kickoff Weekend. There were close games, standout performances and stars rising to the occasion. “It’s a good start for us, but it’s only the first game,” says Tennessee rookie quarterback MARCUS MARIOTA, who threw four touchdown passes in the Titans’ 42-14 win over Tampa Bay. “It means we’re 1-0. For me, it’s taking it one day at a time and just executing to the best of my abilities. We have to continue to get better. We have an opportunity to continue to put our best foot forward and for me, that’s exciting.” Making his NFL debut, Mariota dazzled as he completed 13 of 16 passes (81.3 percent) for 209 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions for a 158.3 passer rating, the highest attainable mark. He is the first rookie in NFL history to post a 158.3 passer rating on Kickoff Weekend. All four of Mariota’s touchdown passes came in the first half and he is the only rookie in NFL history to throw four touchdown passes in one half. Tennessee’s 28-point victory is the largest in a season opener by a team starting a rookie quarterback since 1948, when the Chicago Bears and JOHNNY LUJACK won by 38 points. Mariota (2014, Oregon) and Lujack (1947, Notre Dame) are both former Heisman Trophy winners. “Marcus is so poised and confident,” says Titans tackle TAYLOR LEWAN.

  • Favorite Satirical Sports Blogs
    Favorite Satirical Sports Blogs FREE Series | Volume 8 Sports Comic Book Copyright 2015 By Jim Sweeney The literary form of satire parodies the self-absorbed, playfully derides the renegades and cleverly exposes the foolishness of others. Satirists like Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, Tina Fey of 30 Rock and writers Matt Stone and Trey Parker of South Park brilliantly bare the boorish behavior and pointless follies of the overt egos in this world. In this collection of my ten favorite satirical sports blogs, I expect to entertain you with my own outlandish observations and exaggerated opinions as they pertain to sports. I scorn the scorn worthy, lampoon the lugs, conjure up some crazy thoughts and unapologetically denounce dumb decisions. As an equal opportunity offender, I write about the ridiculous that I’ve observed in the sports world. In addition, I share some of my crazy conjecture about teams, events, players and, in one specific case, a famous NBA star’s mom. Sure, some of my blogs are outrageous, but that’s the point. Satire serves to prove a point, and it perfectly applies to sports. My book is intended to make you laugh about how the truly absurd sometimes happens in and around sports. To those I’ve satirized in this book, may you and others laugh, too, while also benefitting from what I’ve published. Look forward to hearing from you if you have a thought about what I’ve written and wish to challenge me on a point. My email is [email protected] Enjoy the read, and remember, it’s a book on sports satire.
