Entry #2. The Blog about Nothing....

Well, well, well, look who's back in the blogging game – it's your favorite part-time sports blogger, Keegan, with another edition of "Blogging about Nothing."

This week, I'm treating you all to an unfiltered dive into the exciting world of Week 2 in the NFL. We're covering everything from thrilling victories to shocking upsets, and of course, you'll get a generous helping of my opinions.



Let's kick things off by talking about "America's Team" – the Dallas Cowboys. The boys in blue have hit the ground running this season, and their defense, in particular, is on fire! They've forced a remarkable 7 turnovers in just the past 2 weeks, putting them at the top of the charts when it comes to turnovers. ESPN also has the Cowboys' defense as number one terms of sacks and second in yards allowed. It's no wonder they're starting the season at 2-0.

A shining star in Dallas last night was none other than the former Defensive Rookie of the Year and two-time Pro Bowler, Micah Parsons. Parsons delivered an outstanding performance, tallying not just two sacks but also a game-changing stripped fumble that came extremely close to turning into a touchdown. So far, the Cowboys have allowed a mere 10 points in the first two weeks of the NFL season. To put this pretty crazy statistic into perspective for those not necessarily versed in football, consider this: the New York Giants, who are 1-1 and happen to be the Cowboys' division rivals, have allowed a whopping 68 points in their first two games.

While it may be a tall order for the Cowboys to maintain this level of dominance over a grueling 17-week season, if they can even come close, they'll certainly be in a prime position to prove the old adage that "defense wins championships."







In the realm of sports, particularly football, the dynamics of success can often appear rather ruthless. It's a situation where some teams must suck for others to bask in glory. Unfortunately, one of those teams currently experiencing a bumpy ride is none other than my beloved Chicago Bears. Being a passionate Bears fan, watching the team's recent performances has become quite a test of patience. It's disheartening to witness a playbook seemingly reliant on screen passes that yield a mere three yards per attempt, and an offensive line that struggles to safeguard the quarterback for more than a fleeting moment. It's almost as though the wheels are coming off the Bears' journey before they've even hit the highway. While this might come as a surprise to some, for fans like myself, it's become a rather familiar, if not frustrating, pattern.

The pressing question that looms over the Windy City is, "What lies ahead?" The Bears took significant steps in the past offseason, trying thier best to help Justin Fields, the franchise's future quarterback. Yet, despite the acquisition of a clear-cut wide receiver one, Fields has seen more interceptions than touchdowns on his stat sheet. This calls for a reevaluation of multiple facets of the team's approach. Coaching staff adjustments are a vital consideration, but a substantial part of the responsibility also rests on Fields, the former number one pick and preseason MVP favorite, to assume leadership within the Chicago locker room.

There's still hope on the horizon for Chicago. The season is far from over, and there's ample room for improvement. It would be disheartening to witness a team boasting substantial talent, competing in a division with wide-open opportunities, falling short once more. The potential for a turnaround remains, and Bears fans can only maintain their optimism and hope that their team rises to the occasion.






In the grand scheme of things, the NFL season has kicked off with enough headlines to turn this blog into a novel. Whether it's the former champs, the Kansas City Chiefs, suffering a surprising week one loss to the "brand new Lions," or the man many deemed the savior of the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers, tragically losing his season to a torn Achilles just four plays into the first game, it's been a rollercoaster of a season start.

But amidst the setbacks, there have been rejuvenations as well. Baker Mayfield, making a comeback as a starter, has guided the Buccaneers to an impressive 2-0 start. It's almost as if the scriptwriters behind the NFL have been cooking up some magic for us, and the season is just getting started.

Personally, I can't contain my excitement to see where we'll be come January, and you can bet your bottom dollar you'll find me right here, breaking it all down for you in the meantime. But for now, everyone, stay safe, enjoy your weeks, and hopefully, you'll catch me blogging about Week 3 this time next week.

With Love,
Keegan
AND IF IT WASN'T CLEAR LAST WEEK. WATCH SOME FOOTBALL!!

Entry #3 The Blog about Nothin....

The Beginning of the end: As you stumble wearily into your house after yet another exhausting 10-hour shift, a familiar ritual begins—Sunday evening, the time for questioning your existence. Your feet ache, your head pounds, and your stomach feels like it's in knots. It's the kind of day when your bed calls your name, and you contemplate the meaning of life. But today is different. Today, something unexpected happens. The Pocket Contents: You pull up a chair and, out of habit, begin to empty your pockets. Keys, phone, wallet—these are the usual suspects. Occasionally, a bit of dryer lint tags along for the ride. But as you empty your pockets today, something else joins the usual mix—a quarter-like object, wrapped in translucent packaging with vibrant red and white hues. You're baffled and ask yourself, "Why do I have this?" The Epiphany: And then, it hits you like a bolt of lightning. Your day doesn't end with this double shift; you have a blog to write. A ...

Entry #8 The Blog About Nothing....

 WE ARE BAACK  Football is deep into the season now so how about we look at who we think is IN and who has a SLIM chance of success. Lets start with an underdog... The broncos  The broncos were get their booties beat early in the season. Losing to teams like the jets. And getting record breaking scores put on their heads to the dolphins when they lost 70-20! Since beating the chiefs in an upset victory when NFL"s savior Patrick Mahomes was sick they have really got the gears moving and are certainly taking a step towards the wildcard. In a division that excluding the Kansas city Chiefs is pretty weak. you can definitely see them sneaking in with a wild card spot. A team looked at most to be eying for a new QB in the offseason it really seems like Russel Wislon and Sean Payton have figured out some chemistry with each other.  The Broncos season certainly comes down to the last few weeks of football and the outcomes will determine many jobs being sealed or opened up i...

Entry #10 The Finale....

Hello friends, family, teacher, NFL fans, Ben&H, I write tonight in a somber tone, knowing this will likely be the last Blog about Nothin. We always wish highs could last forever, but just like all good things in life, they must come to an end. The football season is not over, but the semester has come to an end, and sadly, I have lost the incentive to carry this journey on. Anyways lets chat FOOTBALL Let's be real, the Eagles are sitting on a goldmine of talent, but their offensive strategy is like watching paint dry. Short crosses and drags on 3rd and long might fool the weaker defenses, but against powerhouses like San Francisco and Dallas in the last couple of weeks, it's been a total disaster. The predictability of the Philly offense should have fans biting their nails. Time for a wake-up call in the playbook!. Otherwise Its gonna get real ugly real fast. The current MVP frontrunner, as per Vegas and the Fanduel sports book, is Dak Prescott, closely followed by Brock P...
