There's something kind of sad about how baseball has fallen out of favor as the epitome of American sports over the past 50 years. Don't get me wrong, I love watching basketball and football, and I don't think those sports have replaced baseball by any means. I think that baseball has some underrated qualities that people don't appreciate enough. First of all, there are a million games every week. If you miss a game, don't worry, there's a 99% chance there will be a game tomorrow. Baseball is t…

The ‘Fast & Furious movies are massively popular. The in-your-face, high-octane Summer blockbusters have entertained the masses for over 20 years at this point. None of this is news to anybody, we've all seen at least one of the mainline entries at some point. As a person who has seen all the movies, I can tell you that they've changed drastically over the years. It started as a stylized action film centered around the world of illegal underground car racing and the people who inhabit it. Throu…

Skateboarding is an incredible hobby. It's impressive to watch , fun to do, and a great way to meet people. It's also the only hobby that actively embraces painful failures as a matter of fact in getting better at the pursuit. I've hurt myself more than I can remember in my years trying to skateboard. The only thing is, I was never very good and I never really improved. It's still been pretty fun though! Skateboarding is one of those hobbies that's sort of just a lifestyle. If anything, skate c…

Now, I didn't grow up around horses. I come from a pretty metropolitan background, but weekend trips to a ranch really developed an appreciation for horses within me. Starting the day by feeding pancakes to unruly horses and then suiting up to ride them soon after was a definitive experience. They're not the most agreeable beasts. In fact, their unruliness made the experience all the much better once you could actually get the horse to work with you. So, I've never owned a horse or regularly ri…

Not me Googling, "Is it unmanly to cry while watching the Connor McGregor Netflix documentary?"

Hobbyists unite!

A big part of growing up is getting rejected from things. Whether it's a sports team or the top band, teenagers will inevitably be disappointed by rejection throughout their adolescence. My most devastating high-school rejection was from the elite group at my community theatre. I know, I'm really cool. I was in the Junior Varsity of musical theatre for three years before I finally got into the top group. The first two years in this group of self-proclaimed "rejects" were expected, but when I di…

The NCAA March Madness Final Four and Championship are this weekend and on Monday! Who's going to win? Who's in your bracket? Check out the hype here!

The waiting is over!

A slow clap is in order.

Another Super Bowl has come and gone! If you are an Eagles fan, I send my condolences. If you are a Missouri person, congratulations! Luckily for us casual sports fans, this game was entertaining, and we were all at the edge of our seats until the end. All and all, there wasn't an abundance of memeable moments outside of the halftime show . As Memebase accurately predicted, the M&M spokescandies made an appearance and were not forever replaced by Maya Rudolph. We saw that Super Bowl commercial…

Is he done for real this time?

The Super Bowl is only two weeks away, and we finally know who will play in the big game. The Kansas City Chiefs will go head-to-head against the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. The Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2019, and The Eagles won for the first time in 2017. This information might sound a bit basic to you real sports fans out there, but I'm here to educate my fellow ignorant slobs. My family has not had a great go about it with Super Bowl victories. My mom's a Bears f…
