Saturday morning, Memphis Grizzlies point guard, Ja Morant was caught displaying a gun on Instagram video and was given a two game suspension by the NBA. I never expected a player like Ja Morant to do something like this. This has brought a lot of controversy towards him and the Grizzlies. Ja Morant is also signed to Nike who is also receiving some black lash because of this incident . By doing such a thing, Ja Morant is only hurting his team, considering the other news they have received about other players. That news being that Brandon Clarke will miss the remainder of the season due to injury and Dillon Brooks being   suspended as well. This action of Ja Morant’s is just bad timing, as now his team could potentially suffer because of his decision to show off a gun online. Hopefully, he makes better decisions when it comes to what he decides to share online. ESPN also did a good job covering this story. I really liked the organization of it.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10065423-jalen-hurts-proves-hes-worth-massive-contract-extension-in-eagles-super-bowl-loss Sunday night, The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against each other in Super Bowl LV11. Jalen Hurts had a standout performance, going 27 of 38 passing for 304 yards and a touchdown while tieing the Super Bowl record with three rushing touchdowns. He also passed Steve McNair’s record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in the Super Bowl. Although the Eagles did end up losing the Super Bowl, Hurts still performed well. As Bleacher Report states throughout this news story, Jalen Hurts has proved that he deserves a Contract extension. We see this specifically with his Super Bowl performance. Hurts accounted for all o the Eagles touchdowns, which says a lot. He also continues to show growth as we see an increase in his numbers over the years. With this all being said, I do agree with bleacher report on Jalen Hurts being deserving of...

Hitting in The “Carter”

The Carter is the indoor facility for sports here at Williams Baptist. In the Carter it is where we, the baseball team, have hitting groups and do other baseball related things. As players this is where we often go to put in extra work as well. Even though the Carter isn't the best compared to other schools' facilities, as an athlete at Williams you eventually learn to be thankful for it. In high school, I didn't have the privilege of an indoor facility so that is what makes me cherish the Carter even more.  I tend to make a lot of good memories in this place with my teammates and, that is something good that I can take away from it.  Hitting in the Carter Tuesday was good for me and something that I needed. With doing this I was able to make some adjustments to my swing and get a good amount of work in overall. It was good to be around teammates as well.  I personally have spent a lot of hours in the Carter and hitting in the Carter is starting to bec...

New pitch clock rule established by MLB is causing confusion

  https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/27/sport/pitch-clock-mlb-2023-spt-intl/index.html Since the start of spring training, MLB has created a new pitch clock rule, which has caused a lot of confusion. In this news story by CNN, they cover the first of many confusions that this new rule may bring. In this particular situation, there were bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs, tie score and the batter had a 3-2 count. After several seconds passed by, the umpire signaled a pitch clock violation and the batter was called out, resulting in confusion from everyone. In such a situation like this, I feel like the pitch clock rule should have been ruled out. This basically ruined that game, and I believe this new rule is ruining the game in all. That call in the game took away from the intensity of the moment and probably left many unsatisfied fans. The reason for the MLB implying this rule is to “speed things up” but, in reality, real fans will sit through a game, no matter how long it...
