Sports Can Be Beautiful

Ah sports. Like any other form of entertainment, it can be beautiful, and beautifully frustrating at the same time. Sports is a great thing and, again like any other form of entertainment, can bring out a wide range of emotions. From anger and sadness to beautiful and happy and everything else in between.

Sports has a unique ability to bring families together. We've seen it happen where parents and their kids can bond over the game in ways that other forms of entertainment can't or don't. It really helps bridge some gaps in families in a unique way that almost goes beyond description. It can help bring out a level of self confidence in a person that was hidden for a long time. Same thing with a skill that a person never even knew they had because of sports. Whether it be a team sport or an individual effort, it can bring out the very best in a person.

Sure, to the other side of the coin, there are and is the downside of the game. It can bring out the worst in human emotion as well. Mostly wee see it in fans for yelling at players or officials and doing stupid things. But the one thing I'd like anybody reading this to take away from this little snippet here, is that it's just a game and its not life or death. It should never be taken too seriously.

One of the great things about sports, aside from playing it of course, is what the point of this rant here is. It's about the power the game to be able to really connect people on a different level. From personal experience, sports has helped me make connections with people I never would have had otherwise. Its helped me make friends that started out as casual, but turned into almost family. That's how close I've gotten with some people over the years, and it all started with a connection over sports. Sports, and in the case of the game of hockey, has not only helped me generation some of my most cherished friendships, it has also helped me in love as well. It was through the game of hockey that I found my girl.

See sports can help unlock things at a different level and it can do so in new and exciting ways. The games can help leave memories that will forever be etched in our minds and our souls. That's a big part of what makes it so beautiful.

Super Bowl 57 Preview

The Time has arrived. We are down to the final two teams left standing. The Vince Lombardi Trophy is on the line as the Eagles and Chiefs square off for the games ultimate prize. So lets not waste any more time and lets get into it. Here's the things we look at for tomorrow's big game.

Kansas City got here after going 14-3 during the regular season, winning the AFC West and earning the AFC's top seed. They beat the Jaguars in the divisional round and then knocked off the Bengals in the AFC title game. Meanwhile the Eagles got here  by also going 14-3, winning the NFC East and earning the NFC's top seed. They then downed  the Giants in the divisional round and the 49ers in the NFC title game, and in dominating fashion.

Its a battle of the league's best offense in Kansas City going against the leagues top defense in Philadelphia. Not only that,  but the Eagles have the best rushing attack in the entire NFL this season, which seems to have become a lost artform in today's NFL. Don't get us wrong, the Eagles have a solid passing attack, but its their running game that's going to carry them on the offensive side of the football. What makes this interesting is how well Jalen Hurts could handle this stage, as he's new to playing in the big game. But he's proven this year that he can handle pressure situations. Besides the run game, the defense for the Eagles has been best in the league this season. And as we've seen in the past in the big game, the top defense in the league will get the win almost every time.

But they are going up against the best offense in the NFL this year. Kansas City has not only the top overall offense in the NFL but the best passing attack in the league as well. They also have the 9th best rushing attack in the league as well during the regular season. So its a pretty given fact that the Chiefs have a potent attack. What has me a little worried here is if the KC defense can hang and contain what the Eagles can do in their running game. KC is no slouch on defense, but they aren't as potent as what Philly can do.

We've seen this act before in the big game, where its the battle of the league4's top offense going against the league's top defense. The defense has won every time before. Mahomes is special, like really special and has the ability to be able to create magic. This year I'm not sure how much magic Mahomes is going to have to overcome the Eagles run game.

Pick: Eagles 34, Chiefs 27
