Broncos (Open Topic)

-

The Denver Broncos are a professional sports team in the NFL (National Football League). They are situated in the AFC West alongside the Chargers, Raiders, and Chiefs. I've been a team fan for a while now, since at least 2010. In 2012, they signed Peyton Manning, one of the best QB's ever. Peyton led the team to a better record, and in 2013, they had what is considered the greatest offense of all time based on points scored and yards scored. They ultimately lost in the Super Bowl or the NFL championship game. In 2015, or Peyton Mannings last year, the offense declined, but the defense was outstanding and considered also to be one of the best of all time. We would win the Super Bowl against the 15-1 Carolina Panthers that year. What a year!

Since then, it's been awful. The Broncos have had one winning season since; they've had over ten different starting quarterbacks. Last year, we traded for an all-pro quarterback named Russell Wilson; we gave up two first-round picks for him, and guess what he did for the team. Led them to 5-12 record, 5-12, and worse, we would have had the 5th overall pick last year, but we did not because of the trade. This year, we were expecting big things as well. We had Russell Wilson, who was supposed to have a comeback season, a good receiving core, a newly improved o-line, a good defense, Patrick Surtain, and Justin Simmons, the best Cornerback and safeties in the league. Guess what? 0-3 start, playing against the 0-3 Bears in week 4. We did win that game on a 21-point comeback in the 4th quarter. We have the Jets this weekend, and I'm not looking forward to that game. We suck every year no matter what we do, this year, we have one of the best coaches of all time, and we are still losing by 50 to the Dolphins, and we are 1-3 overall on the year. I'm frustrated because we went from having one of the worst offenses and best defenses last year to an average offense and the worst defense in the league. I'm frustrated and hoping we can get somewhere this season; if not, give us the 3rd overall pick.

Challenges and Experiences W/ Microtheme

-
 At the start of this, I never would have believed a one-page paper would end up causing me to think as hard as I've had to. There were thousands of topics to choose from, yet everyone I leaned towards didn't set me up with a good foot in the ground to touch on everything I needed to touch on throughout the essay. Occasionally, I cracked the code on what a good topic was. Therefore, I would start writing a rough draft and end up with nothing, no ideas on where to continue going with the topic, forcing me to start from scratch. After having that happen twice, I found a good topic; at least, I'd imagine it's a good topic. We must wait for peer review to decide the topic's fate. It's also slightly confusing as there are so many minor details to avoid or put in, which is different from most essays I'm used to writing where it told you exactly what to include, and I never really had to worry about including something I shouldn't have.

What I learned about the Library

-

This past week, our class had the opportunity to have a class in the library computer lab, which was different and unique. I guess you would say we had a guest speaker, a librarian, who knew the ins and outs of all there was to the library. I believe her name was Laura Cameron. In CARD writing, we had just begun working on Rational Argument papers, and part of this assignment is the requirement to have a few academic journals. The problem is that finding these things using Google or Safari is extremely difficult. Therefore, the goal of the library lesson was to help us learn how to use the tools that the Oesterle library had made available to us as students. First, I learned much about media types and how they differ in areas like their academic style. A few of these resource types include things like Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles, which are original research. There are Encyclopedia Articles that fit into the analysis and trends category, which you would consider slightly more academi...

Lacrosse (Open Topic)

 I can't believe I've skipped this topic for so long; it's my favorite sport. Anyway, Lacrosse is often referred to as "the fastest game on two feet" and known as the fastest-growing sport in the world, well before pickleball's popularity suddenly skyrocketed. Not many people know; even those who play the sport know it originated among Native American tribes, particularly the Iroquois and Algonquin nations. For Native Americans, the game served various purposes, including settling disputes and training warriors. The first games of Lacrosse could have hundreds of players and were played on vast fields with goals placed miles apart. French missionaries in the 17th century saw the game and named it "la crosse" because of the players' unique equipment. Over time, Lacrosse evolved and gained popularity in North America, and the sport continued to grow, leading to rules and leagues. Two professional leagues exist nowadays, the MLL and PLL. The PLL was ...
