My Review of 'Bleed for This'
I actually wanted to watch Bleed for This in theaters a while back when I first saw its trailer. Time passed by and I guess it was a limited run so I didn't get the chance to see it. Recently it popped up on Netflix and at first I didn't know what it was and then I remembered the trailer for it. So I finally got the chance to see it.

NBA Christmas Day Preview. Top Story - December 2018.
The NBA tradition of playing on Christmas games goes back to 1947, the league's second season. While Christmas is a day to be with family and unwrap presents and eat great food, it's a day to watch some of the best NBA action there is. Even though Nike again refused to give us special edition Christmas jerseys for the second year in a row (is it really that hard, guys?) December 25 should still be an entertaining day. So, here's a rundown of all the games that'll be happening and my predictions.

Perseverance with My Injury
Admittedly, this will read more like a blog entry, but I am not afraid to be open and honest about who I am. Also, as I know of at least one other individual who is in a similar boat to me at this time, I sincerely hope said person is able to read this, and understand fully that I empathize with their situation. I also have nothing but heaps of respect for said person, and I hope this person realizes my writing this is a way to attempt to help out during a time of painful healing.

Random Testing?... Or Relentless Pressing
If you didn’t already know, the NFL conducts drug tests to ensure that their players are sticking to the guidelines in their contract. The NFL Player Contract prohibits any players from using drugs that will enhance or modify their performance. To keep everything just, these tests are done at random and can be applied to any given player. However, these tests don’t seem too just to Eric Reid, Carolina Panthers Defensive Safety. Reid has been selected for random drug testing for the seventh time in the past eleven weeks.

'00-01 Lakers vs. '18-19 Warriors
Everybody knows that this years’ Warriors are a complete powerhouse. They’re on their way to win their third championship in a row. But that has led to recent talks about whether the Lakers of the early 2000s, another three-peat team, could take them on. The style of basketball played back then is completely different as compared to now. The Lakers were dominated by big man Shaquille O’Neal, while today’s game is more of a run-and-gun 3-point shooting style. Both have their strengths, but which team would come out on top?
