How does Ryan Hollins still have a job?
Alright people, let’s talk ESPN analyst Ryan Hollins. This guy has given some of the wildest takes I have ever heard in my entire life and I have suffered through watching Skip Bayless everyday. This is a man that averaged 3.7 points per game and 2.2 rebounds per game for his CAREER NUMBERS. Why must we see and hear him on ESPN airways every single day when he was not successful in his field of work. This is the equivalent of asking Brian Scallabrine how to succeed in the NBA. But I’ll stop harping on his personal success and More on the outlandish comments Ryan Hollins has made. Here’s a few for reference. Most recently Hollins said that he would rather have Rajon Rondo over Chris Paul which is one of the more asinine comments I’ve ever heard. He also said that you cannot he considered a great player without winning a championship. Just to throw one more idiotic comment on top of the pile he called NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo overrated. I recently signed a petition to get this imposter of a sports analyst fired so we no longer have to listen to someone that knows less about sports than any fan in the entire world. That’s right there is a real petition right now to get rid of him. The link will be below. Enjoy your day and avoid Ryan Hollins if you want to be happy and not completely infuriated.
Has Aaron Boone earned his pinstripes ?
In a wild afternoon Yankees vs Rays baseball game Aaron Boone went full Earl Weaver on rookie umpire Brennan Miller. Miller had only worked 4 games previous to today and clearly was struggling to find his strike zone when all hell broke loose in the 2nd inning. Yes, 2nd inning of a doubleheader. Miller was repeatedly missing strike calls for Yankees Starter Domingo German in the first and top of the 2nd inning. German kept his cool and continued to throw a great game. It was in the bottom 2nd inning that Millers strike zone became as wide as the Grand Canyon. He called a strike that almost bounced to the plate while Aaron Judge was at the plate, then completely screwed Brett Gardner who is known for having one of the best eyes in baseball out of an at bat. Aaron Boone still remained calm up to this point. It was when DJ Lamaheau was at the plate that Miller called a ball about 2 feet off the plate a strike stirring a comment from Lamahue who said “Brennan that was way outside”. Boone had then seen enough to let Miller know about himself stirring up what will be one of the most memorable rants in baseball history. Boone yelled from the dugout telling Brennan Miller to “Bear the F*ck down” while Brett Gardner was in the dugout attempting to demolish the roof and helmet rack. Miller acknowledged Boone by saying “I heard you Aaron” several times, yet clearly he didn’t because his strike zone wasn’t improving. Boone was then ejected by Miller when Miller said “Get out Aaron” like a middle school teacher kicking a child out of class. Boone then did the opposite and stepped to miller by saying “My guys are f*cking savages in that f*cking box right? And you’re having a real piece-of-sh*t start to this game. I feel bad for you, but f*cking get better. That guy is a good pitcher, but our guys are f*cking savages in that box. Our guys are savages in that f*cking box. Tighten it up right now, okay? Tighten this sh*t up.” This rant by Boone could’ve been picked up from Saudi Arabia with the level Boone was yelling. This man single handily lead the ya need to rally back from being down 2-0 to a 6-2 win in a huge divisional game. So mark my words, there will not be anymore Aaron Boone slander accepted from this day forward. We must protect this man at all cost. See the video below to enjoy the moment that Aaron Boone EARNED his pinstripes. https://twitter.com/kalil_farhat/status/1152024094713376768?s=21
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
