It's the fall which means it's time for all things pumpkin spice, maple syrup, and of course apples! If you are heading to the store or maybe even an orchard, check out my top five varieties that you'll want to be snacking on soon. Number 5: Sugar Bee This apple is delicious and savory with a skin-like texture that feels silky smooth. This apple, hence the bee in the name, tastes sort of like honey.

Table Tennis. A sport where quick reactions and fast body movement are combined. The rubber on the paddles generates spin, making the ball harder to receive. Players have to read the spin, choose how to receive the ball, place it where they want, and reset their bodies to do it again. This requires a reaction time second only to F1. Table tennis all started when two British tennis players got bored and decided to create a bite-sized version of tennis on a table. It was origin

After the NBA Draft Lottery, the Chicago Bulls have jumped up to drafting 4th in this year's NBA Draft. In an incredibly deep draft for the NBA, the Bulls have a big chance to make the right pick and turn their team around. The Bulls finished the season 19th in three-point percentage. They went after a plethora of guards at the trade deadline, but they moved off of Coby White, Kevin Huerter, and Ayo Dosumnu, all known for efficient shooting. While picking at 4, they've misse

Manchester City were in clear command of this game from the first whistle. The Citizens opened the scoring in the 16th minute thanks to Rayan Cherki, but the injury

WLTL was able to get media access to the final Bulls home game of the 25-26 season! The Bulls faced off against the Orlando Magic. While the Bulls are not fighting for a playoff spot, the Magic are looking to jump from a 7 seed to a possible 5 seed. The Bulls are missing Josh Giddey (out for the season), Nick Richards, and Andersen Simons. 1st Quarter The Bulls struggled early on defense going down 9-2, struggling especially on defense.

In our era of easily traveling information, it's a miracle that the MLS Archive Jerseys for this year have yet to be accidentally revealed to the public despite their upcoming summer release date. While not much is known about the actual designs or even the colors of the jerseys, we do know the teams that will be supporting this awesome collection of throwback jerseys in the MLS.

In a recent Variety interview, actor Timothee Chalamet claimed that “no one cares” about ballet and opera. Don't believe me? See for yourself below: In a recent Variety interview, actor Timothee Chalamet claimed that “no one cares” about ballet and opera. Even stating to “try to keep it alive.” Although his statements might be opinion-based, everyone with a creative heart and mind could agree on one thing. He’s definitely wrong.

The United States soccer scene has a tricky history of being retold and rewritten constantly. The game was introduced to the U.S. by early immigrants, but was demonized and ridiculed for being a "foreign sport" while its leagues were left unprofitable. The stigma seemed to change following the 1994 World Cup, as the host country saw an immense boom in popularity towards the sport, resulting in the founding of the MLS in 1996. Now here we are, 30 years later. The promise of an

With the World Cup incoming this summer, there are many, many problems with the tournament that have been spoken about at nauseum.

However, one facet of every World Cup that delivers every year is the kit designs, and the United States has two all-time designs for this year's tourna

In the U.S., many look back fondly on the phenomenon of "Linsanity", where Jeremy Lin turned into a superstar for the New York Knicks seemingly overnight, and never again reached those peaks in that timespan. It was a thrilling period of time in the NBA, as you had a "role player" going toe-to-toe with "Black Mamba" and flipping the script for just a few seconds. However, we all know how that story ended, with the Knicks crashing out to end the season and underwhelming in the
