Christmas is great, it is so much fun to see your family and open presents.  giving is also un because people like getting. It’s kinda funny though how Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus, who literally said that greed is the worst sin, and we spend more money on this than any other time of year. But gifts are good too.

Thursday Night Football brought a matchup of one team trying to make the playoffs in one of the most contested divisions in the league. The other team trying to get a high enough draft pick to get a real QB instead of the 2018 butt fumble named Blake Borttals and the back up that is Cody Kessler. The Jags have been an embarrassment this year, but they just came off a game where they beat the red-hot Colts. C’mon Sacksonsville you can do this, the Titans have no weapons and are looking ever more average. I think Derrick Henry heard that and decided to humiliate your defense. This looks like a game of Madden where your friend made his Running Back a 99 overall. What is it with the Titans and only letting one player play good, last year it was Mariota now its Henry. Conglateration Tennesee on having pointless hope.

Just wondering how you been, I hope its good. This blog is a complaint about the current events quizzes. These quizzes are not hard but I will study before class for a good 10 minutes and I will be like, oh this is easy, but then all the stuff I’m looking at makes no sense. When you put in weem news, where would I look to know that, and its kinda hurting my grade. However this is your class, and I’m just trying to troll you, see you in class.

This season has been a great one for Pendleton football. We have to all state players and more players that are fantastic. The future of the team is great too, we have some great players coming up, and we have a great coach that is trying to take Pendleton out of the mediocrity it has been. I see a state championship in the future.

When I was little the best game to play was always NCAA Football 11. I remember how that game just gave me the greatest feeling ever and just how fun it was. It’s too bad that they don’t make the game anymore because if they did I would go and throw money at EA. Now, if EA is listening right now, which they are not, I have a great idea. High School Football 2020, this game would create the fantastic feeling of Friday Night Lights. I think this would be an awesome game, so EA, get on it.

If you want to make a difference for people in need stop donating. I know this sounds terrible but hear me out. The small donations we give to people are great but they are a waste of time and resources. I have been around situations like this, I am fortunate enough to not be in this situations but I know people who can. Here is the underlying point, toys can not build homes, toys cannot repair communities, and toys cannot stop the violence. If they could the world would run on toys, but the world doesn’t run on toys. Now before you think that I am a horrible person, I’m not. The truth is I really want to help people and I know how to do it best. The thing is instead of thinking we are ok doing something small, do something that makes a difference. Vote on laws that improve poor communities, help to create jobs, help people to get on the right track. Don’t give them toys, give them the ability to get toys.

Halloween night is jam pack full of good games, I am going to run down all the games and my predictions.

Pistons vs. Nets

I think the Pistons will take this one because they have had a great start to the season and Blake Griffin has had an electrifying start to the season. I will take the Pistons, 101-78.

Pacers vs. Knicks

If this were the first game of the season and Kevin Knox was still healthy I would pick the Knicks, but with a rough start to the season and no one to guard Victor Olodipo and the fact they can keep Kristop Porzingis out of the paint, I think the Pacers will put on a clinic.  Pacers will win 87-7.

Nuggets vs. Bulls

Even though the Bulls have made some substantial roster improvements from last year, they will still fall to the Nuggets. The Nuggets this year are going to easily make the playoffs in the stacked west, while the Bulls are struggling in the East. The Bulls also don’t have an Answer for Nikola Jokic. I say Nuggets win, 98-82.

Mavericks vs. Lakers

This one may surprise a lot of people, but I say the Mavs will win this one. Even though the Lakers have LeBron, doesn’t mean much they have no efficiency and turn the ball over to much. They also rely on baskets under the rim and with Deadre Jordan down there I can’t see them getting many points. Denis Smith Jr. will also tear them apart on transition. Mavs will win. 84-80

Jazz vs. Timberwolves

Even though the Jazz have had a good start to the year, I think the Wolves can counter almost all of their best offense. Jimmy Butler will lock down Donovan Mitchell, but Karl Anthony Towns will be stopped by Rudy Gobert, I think the Timberwolves have more depth so they win, 78-75

Spurs vs. Suns and Pelicans vs. Warriors.

I would go in depth on these but they are complete upsets, Spurs and Warriors win.

hfhhh

Jimmy Garoppolo is the greatest of all time. This season he will throw for 8,000 yards, 500 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. He will lead the 49ers to an almost perfect record. The 49ers will win the super bowl when they face off against the Cleveland Browns. The next season Jimmy will win league MVP, NFC, and AFC offensive and defensive player of the year. He also will also be the first player to be inducted into the hall of fame while still playing. Jimmy Garoppolo will go on to win 20 more MVPs and 19 more super bowls. He also found a cure for cancer.
