The Little Starling
A Heartfelt Story About A Bird
I stopped in a beautiful green pasture, with tall trees that had beautiful green leaves. The birdsong was breathtaking, beautiful, and melodic. I smiled and thought,
"This is a beautiful world!"
I looked up at the beautiful blue sky, a group of six starlings burst into song as they flew past me. Butterflies danced in the flowers. I heard a gunshot. Five starlings fell to the ground.
I was heartbroken.
I noticed a starling crying; I followed it to its nest. Its babies had been killed.
I took the starling home to be cared for. The Starling died from grief.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
