Confessions of a Matt Ryan Superfan
If you’re around my age and from Atlanta, there are few people as synonymous with your childhood as one Matthew Thomas Ryan. From the moment he was drafted in 2008 to his last snap played in Atlanta this past season, Matt Ryan (or Matty Ice, more on that later) injected fuel into a franchise looking to reshape its image after on-field mediocrity and off-field issues by its star players. He has enjoyed one of the most statistically significant careers in football history — living in the top 10 of almost every all-time Quarterback stat category — while also bringing the team to more success and more consistency than it had seen in its existence.

Is Matt Ryan poised for another MVP year?
Matt Ryan. Undoubtedly my favorite athlete and, as an unashamedly biased Falcons fan, the source of countless moments of joy – in addition to more moments to which I’d prefer we do not talk about. He was drafted by my Atlanta Falcons whilst I was the age of 11. My voice was squeaky, height was short, and the prior year’s MVP was Tom Brady’s first – at the age of 30. Of course, Peyton Manning would go on to win the subsequent two to follow, and Matt Ryan would eventually win his own in that 2016 Cinderella season. He achieved a lot in 14 years. Now I’m 25, and the legendary Quarterback leads the franchise in every notable stat and accolade. He will hold these records for some time, no doubt long after he is inducted into the hall of fame. His impact on the franchise has been immeasurable. Yet, that leads us to the present day. The all-time great Falcon was recently shipped to Indianapolis in exchange for a 3rd round pick. The value of the trade was significantly low, if we compare to the Matt Stafford trade a year before, but works more so as a cap based move to contribute toward Atlanta’s long rebuild. What’s next, though? I would argue that this move has put Matty Ice in the best position he has ever been throughout his illustrious career. The question being, can he finally win a ring?

Cristiano Ronaldo must leave Manchester United in the summer
Watching Cristiano growing up, you could see many things. Flair, precision, determination, goals, assists … but one thing stood out the most. It was the hatetrate of losing a football match. Even the one that may be seen as the unimportant one. Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo must leave Manchester United in the summer. In other case, his trophy cabinet may not get any enhancements.

Making Sense Of The AFC West
It would be the most aggressive of understatements to suggest the 2022 offseason has been phenomenal. It seems, since the moment that blue and yellow confetti dropped, there has been a fascinating development by the hour. The extension of Aaron Rodgers, tagged alongside the departure of Davante Adams, the release of Julio Jones, or Jacksonville’s spending spree. It seems we’ve had an offseason for the ages and, certainly, one which I dread we may never forget. Amongst this drama, thankfully not so much filtered through the return of Brady or Big Ben’s retirement, comes the AFC West. In my opinion, above all else, this story has been the most fascinating to see unfold as we witness a true arms race for the division – and potentially the conference. But let’s take a deeper look into it, and truly document the insanity of this division’s invasion of superstars.

You Can Have DeShaun Watson
Photo by Erik Drost I don’t really know how the criminal justice system works, and Deshaun Watson getting a pass, we are left to bring sense to the disorder and render our own verdicts. Our starting point is Houston Prosecutor Johna Stallings, and despite his lawyerly, measured response, he’s just as in the dark as the rest of us.

Can The Detroit Lions Finally Bounce Back?. Top Story - March 2022.
In Sports, it’s fair to argue that, almost anything is entitled to heated debate. Whether that be, in the NFL, the legitimacy of Matt Ryan’s hall of fame credentials or the current best half back or corner in the game. In the domain of the National Football League much is bound for interpretation, and little is cemented as clear truth. Far from such speculation, however, remains a sorrowful constant of several decades, if not the merging of the ‘Superbowl era’. This, the repetitive failure of the ‘Detroit Lions’. Since 2000, the Lions have bolstered a measly five winning seasons – with only two surpassing 10 wins. During this period, the team achieved the miserable feat of a winless season, somehow with a rookie Calvin Johnson amongst their ranks. Fans haven’t celebrated a playoff win since the Barry Sanders era of the Motor City when Rodney Peete and Erik Kramer laced up at QB. In a league of highs and lows, it’s far from hyperbole to suggest the Lions have seen far more lows than highs. Yet, currently, we reach a crossroads in the franchise’s lengthy history. Like the Bengals post Dalton, Detroit are poised upon a new era post Stafford. The question arises, however: Can they embrace this opportunity for change and turn around, like Cincinnati? Or stumble upon this pivotal hurdle?
