Who Could The Bulls Take In This Year's Draft
After the NBA Draft Lottery, the Chicago Bulls have jumped up to drafting 4th in this year's NBA Draft.

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

The MLS Should Have Promotion and Relegation
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

Carricksanity
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

Happy New Year! Stop Waiting to Feel Ready
Everyone always says you just need to “find motivation,” like it’s some magic thing that appears out of nowhere. I used to believe that too. I’d tell myself I’d start studying when I felt like it or work out when I had more energy. But that day never really came. I kept waiting to feel ready, and all that did was waste time. What I’ve learned is that motivation doesn’t come first; action does. You have to start before you feel ready. At first, that sounds backwards, but it’
