Week 8 Picks Against the Spread
Another week of NFL football coming up. Can't believe it's already week eight, the season is flying by, and for us New York Giants fans, this season CANNOT end soon enough. After another ridiculous loss this past Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons, the Giants sit at 1-6. This was a team I was super excited about before the season started, too—just an awful, awful season for them.

Coaching
We all love sports. It does not matter what sport it is, we just love it. We have a passion and a drive to dedicate our time to teach the youth the sport, whether it is pee-wee to college sports.

2018-19 NBA Rookie Predictions
This year's draft class has given us some great talent and potential. It'll be hard to match last year's rookie class but we will see some great young stars rising up. I'm gonna rank each player on the team that drafted them and grade them on how their rookie year will be. This DOES NOT mean I am predicting their future career.
