We are inundated with news. There’s plenty of local news and national news, but world news? Not so much. Most people don’t follow what’s going on in the European Union, or what’s going on with Brexit and that’s a huge loss for us. There are lessons to be learned as to what not to do, but maybe that’s why it doesn’t get much coverage. Ryan L. Fox
With the ever so growing trend of vegetarianism nowadays, many food establishments, regular restaurants and fast food chains, have come up with their own variations of vegetarian dishes. Recently, Burger King has come out with a new Whopper than claims it is “100% Whopper, 0% Meat." Impossible you say? It is possible thanks to the Impossible Whooper. Ryan L. Fox
When you’re a first round pick in the NFL Draft, you are considered to be a top tier player that a franchise can either build around or count on for success for multiple years. However sometimes that may not be the case as injuries, off-field issues, etc. can often derail a career before it begins. Then those draft picks are often given the label ‘bust’. One such former 1st round pick is facing that dilemma right now in New England Patriots LT Isaiah Wynn. After missing the entire 2018 NFL season with a torn Achilles tendon, the former Georgia Bulldog faces a tough road in the NFL as he is given the task of guarding the blind side of arguably one of the top QBs in NFL history. Can Wynn do that and become an important part of the Patriots down the road or will he join the ranks of many former first round busts. |
