The madness is finally over. Whether you voted for Obama or Romney, heck even Goode or Johnson, the point is YOU voted. WE voted. This election was like no other in the sense that it motivated more people to get educated and vote than ever. Young people came in numbers never seen before and hopefully that is a trend that will continue in our country.
It was great to see my generation of young adults really step up and be heard. Though some people took it more personal than others, I loved seeing all the small debates on FB and Twitter with my friends and associates going back and forth on who should be elected and why. Even my close group of friends, who 99% of time are talking about sports or girls, got into some pretty heated argument's about their political beliefs during nights out! Now that is truly amazing stuff.
I'm sure the race of our President played a big factor in the huge turnout and interest of young people and minorities, but that's okay. Sometimes it takes a big reason for someone to want to get involved or change their outlook on something. Whether that reason is 'right or wrong' is not for any of us to judge. If 50,000 young African Americans between 22-30 never cared about the elections or politics until 4 years ago when Obama was elected, well hey, so be it. At least they are involved now, and most of them will continue to stay educated and involved, and that will trickle down to their kids. So regardless if "race" was the reason so many more people got involved with this election, It is a GREAT thing for our country.
I myself never voted before. I always felt like no matter who is in office we don't have any real say in whats going on. I truly thought my voice didn't matter. I mean I'm 1 of 3 billion, who really cares what I have to say. I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt like that, and I'm sure some people still do.
Thankfully for me however, a light bulb went off in the past few years. I recently started to feel different about the situation. I mean if everyone else has an opinion why shouldn't I? If all these people are slandering a guy who I believe in and I support, then I better get educated so I can articulate why I feel how I do about my President and make sure I'm supporting the right person. I started to understand that the man in office really does affect me, my family, and my future. I do have a voice and I will be heard.
I still don't know for sure what brought that change upon me. Could it have been because the President is a minority for the first time? Or maybe because I am 25 years old now and I finally matured and saw the real world for what it is. Honestly, I'm not 100 percent sure. One thing I am sure on is how glad I am I got educated and made a difference. I never realized it could be such a good feeling being so knowledgeable about whats really going on in this country, going to vote, and watching the election play out. I will never forget the past few months of my life, culminating with an amazing day yesterday. Whether our President comes through and turns this country around, no one knows for sure. What I do know is that this has been a life-changing experience for me, and I will continue to educate myself more and more on this country and my beliefs on how it should be led. That is my right as an American. That is your right too. We should ALL take advantage of it. I'm sure glad I did.

Time to get excited again, Cavs fans
And just like that, it's here. The NBA regular season tipped off last night with three games on the schedule. If this were a high school triple header with Varsity, JV, and Freshman games the Cavs vs. Wizards definitely played the role of the frosh . With that being said, I loved what I saw out of these 'kids' on opening night. Coming into the year fans had very mixed emotions about the off-season (or lack thereof) moves made by the Cavs. With a surprise top pick (Dion) and a relatively quiet free agency period (CJ Miles?), Cleveland fans came into the year excited but reserved. Well Cavs fans, I think we can finally let our guards down again.
Ever since that one guy, who is kind of the best player on the planet, left town, Cleveland hasn't been the prettiest site for basketball. After a record breaking (in a very bad way) season 2 years ago, there wasn't much reason for hope here on the shores of Lake Erie. That was until a mid season trade netted the Cavs an extra lottery pick and a little glimmer of hope.
From that seed came the 'lottery special', where the NBA determines the order of which each team will draft by selecting ping pong balls on live television. On that night in May 2011, Nick Gilbert, son of owner Dan, changed the Cavaliers fortune and future in a big way. With under a three percent chance of winning the #1 overall pick, Nick brought the Cavs enough luck to somehow do just that. The best part about it was that the Cavs won the rights to the #1 selection with the pick they had received from the LA Clippers alongside Baron Davis in a trade for Mo Williams. I'd say the Cavs did pretty good on that particular trade.
With that pick the Cavs drafted Kyrie Irving. Irving was a super-talented point guard out of Duke who played just 11 career collegiate games due to injury. There were many people who thought going a different route, such as taking Arizona forward Derick Williams, would be more beneficial for the Cavaliers. Good thing those people aren't in charge of basketball operations in Cleveland. The Cavs also owned the 4rth overall pick that year and selected Tristan Thompson. Thompson has consistently showed improvement since joining the Cavs and looks poised to be the starting PF for a long time.
As for Irving, a year and a half after the Cavs made him their #1 selection it is clear he's on the fast track to becoming a SUPERstar. A top 10 player in this league for years to come. In his first season Irving ran away with the rookie of the year award and showed flashes of greatness. He averaged 18.5 ppg, 5.5 apg, and almost 4 boards a game while shooting 87, 47, and 40 percent on FT's, FG's and 3P's respectively. Aside from those outstanding numbers, Kyrie showed what very few players have in their game, a true clutch gene in the 4rth quarter. Despite his stellar play, the Cavs were still a sub .500 team and after Anderson Varejzo (among others) suffered significant injuries, the Cavs wound up with another top 5 pick for the 2012 draft.
With that pick the Cavs selected SG Dion Waiters. Later on in the same draft, the Cavs traded up to select center Tyler Zellers out of North Carolina. When all was said and done the Cavs had gotten a starting caliber player at every position except SF (Lebron?) through the last 2 drafts. With all that young talent and an owner who is willing to do whatever it takes to win things are looking up in Cleveland. You throw in a few wiley vets such as Varejao plus a well respected head coach who specializes in developing young players, and it's natural to be excited about the future.
Now don't take this as me proclaiming the Cavs will battle the Heat and Celtics for supremacy in the East this year. It is definitely going to take some time. It won't always be pretty. Cleveland has the youngest team in the NBA by far and some nights it will show. But with a young star like Irving mixed in with all the other elements going for the Cavs right now, Cleveland and its fans have reason to be optimistic. Reason to go pack the Q again. In a few years the Cavs will be back on top so until then just sit back and enjoy the ride up.

Fantasy Football 2nd Half Predictions
With seven weeks of football in the books, most Fantasy Football league's are right at the half way point of their season. Early season surprises are now house hold names (Alfred Morris), and preseason studs are fighting to stay in your starting lineup (Cam Newton, S-Jax). This is the time where most people, mainly the "experts", seem to forget all the crazy preseason predictions they were so adamant about. If you could re draft today would it still be wise to take a tight end at a spot where you could easily have grabbed AP? How about Cam over Jamaal Charles or A.J Green?
To be fair, outside of a few super obvious names such as Foster, Rice, Brees, and Rodgers, No matter what direction you went early in this year's draft, there's a good chance your not feeling great about it. No one that drafted Stafford could have expected this, DMC was a home run if he could only stay healthy right? The point is NO ONE REALLY KNOWS. Of all sports, football changes so much from year to year it's almost impossible to predict future outcomes. With injuries, players evolving, and the coaching and game planning changing everyday its truly a full time job to try to stay up to date with today's NFL.
With that said, I am here to take my best shot at forecasting this crazy game we call Fantasy Football. It's coming down to crunch time and people want to know, Are these guys really who we thought they were? Well Dennis Green? Anyway here are my 5 bold (literally in bold) predictions for the 2nd half of the FF season:
-Calvin Johnson will finish in the top 3 at the WR position.
The Megatron hate has gone too far. I have recently seen experts signing off on trading Calvin straight up for the likes of Julio Jones, T-Rich, Reggie Wayne, Alfred Morris etc. While all these are fine players, I still believe Calvin is a beast like no other. Throw out Monday nights terrible game (which ALL receivers have) and the guy is on pace to have over 100 more yards and 10 more receptions than he had last year in one of the biggest seasons from a WR ever. Throw in a brutal early season schedule (SF, Chi, Minn, Phi) and his numbers thus far are pretty impressive. With much more fantasy friendly match ups to come, I just can't see CJ and Stafford keeping up this TD slump. Right now Calvin's outside the top 10 (#11) at WR in standard and PPR leagues, but 7 weeks from now he will be back on top.
-Peyton Manning will finish as a top 3 QB.
Coming into the season Peyton Manning was the biggest question mark in Fantasy Football. At full strength he was one of the best fantasy QB's ever and could single handily get you a win any given week. So how in the heck was his ADP 60th overall and 10th QB taken? Well when a neck injury keeps you out for 2 years and the team you basically own lets you walk, there's cause for a little concern. Not anymore. Aside from some deep throws not looking exactly Manning-Esq the guy is back. Coming back from down 24-0 at the half vs. SD will be looked back on as the turning point for Manning and the Broncos and with a schedule full of potential shootouts (starting Sunday vs N.O) still to come, Look for Manning to leap frog from 7th (current QB rank) to the top 3, at the expense of Tom Brady.
-Frank Gore and Michael Turner will finish outside the top 20 RB.
Frank Gore and Michael Turner have been very solid producers so far, currently ranking 7th and 15th respectively at the RB position. If you own either of these 2 players, trade them now while their values high. While it's nice to see RB's who are considered "old" still produce at a high pace, I just don't see it lasting. Gore has been great, but with Kendell Hunter a miss step away and Brandon Jacobs bound to take some goal line carries, I don't see how his run can last. Turner really scares me. If not for a few TD plunges he would be borderline un-startable. It seems every game Jacquizz Rodgers is on the field more and more. When those fluky short TD's stop coming, so will "the burners" production. Sell high.
Darren McFadden and LeSean Mccoy will finish as top 5 RBs.
In hindsight this probably doesn't seem like I'm going too far out on a limb eh? I mean these were the consensus #3 and #5/6 RB's coming into the season anyway so why shouldn't they? Well first off just from seeing some recent trades and reading different opinions, neither one of these players are being vauled as a top 5 RB right now. In McFadden's case you could probably go get him for Stevan Ridley, T-Rich, Turner, Gore, Sproles, maybe even Reggie Bush straight up. If I had any of those RB's I'd do it in a second. DMC has one of the easiest remaining schedules of any RB. It is just a matter of time before he goes off, and it starts this week at KC. Get him now and hope for good health. As for Shady, he currently ranks as the 17th RB and has been solid but not the beast you'd expect out of a top 3 pick. A lot of it falls on the shoulders of Michael Vick. Vick has taken too many red zone oppurtunities out of McCoy's hands with turnovers and bad decisions. Coming out of the bye I think all is fixed and in a few weeks Mccoy will be back in the discussion with Rice and Foster.
Randall Cobb finishes as most productive GB player not named Arron.
While I liked him in preseason no one could have saw this coming, this fast. A perfect storm of injuries and opportunities have led to Cobb becoming one of the biggest surprises this season and one of the best WR's period over the past three weeks. In GB's last 4 games Cobb has combined for 26 receptions for 339 yards and 3 TD's. He also has 2 carries for 44 yard in that time and is a threat to for a kick/punt return TD. Arron Rodger's loves him and with all the injuries to the Packers offense, Cobb looks like he is in store for a big finish. With Greg Jennings injured and in a contract year, this may just be the beginning of Cobb's reign in GB.

Andy Varejao, All Star? All day
In today's NBA, its rare to find an All Star caliber player who has made his name by doing anything other than scoring a lot of points or being a human highlight reel. Well Cleveland's Anderson Varejao is doing just that.
This year Varejao is getting the national attention he has deserved for most of his career thanks to some eye-catching stats, averaging a double-double with 11 ppg to go along with just under 12 rpg, but Andy has been an invauable piece of this team and outstanding overall player for years under the radar. I couldn't tell you how many games I've watched over the years that Lebron (or now, Kryie) may have had the amazing stats, but it was Andy making a hustle play, taking a charge, grabing a loose ball, or getting a steal that was really the difference in the game.
I know there are a lot of players who do the 'little things that don't show up on the stat sheet' but there arent ANY that do to it night in and night out like Andy. For example, last week in Boston the Cavs were down 1 with 20 seconds to go. After a Cavs miss Kevin Garnett seeemed to have grabbed an easy rebound until Anday somehow knocked it loose. After a long scramble Celtics Foward Brandon Bass took got control of the ball until Andy came out of nowhere and again knocked it out, this time diving on the loose ball and calling a timeout after. Kyrie would later hit the game winning layup, but who really won that game for the wine and gold?
Throw in the fact that Andy is putting up SUPERSTAR numbers for a center (even though hes actually a PF forced to play C) recently, it looks like a no brainer that he should be backing up Dwight Howard in Orlando for the All Star Game. He is from a Cleveland team though, and you know how most people feel about those players.....So we'll see.

New Beginnings..
Aside from the Super Bowl predictions I did a few days ago, my blog has not been nearly as active as I'd like it to be. Two posts in about a year is completely unacceptable. Back, better and more focused than ever this blog will come to life like never before. Along with this blog I will also be very active on other social networks such as twitter (@ PWill12) and Facebook.
Obviously my field is Sports being that I'm a Sports Writer, but I plan to expand my horizon and touch on any subject at any time. For less than a year now I have been blessed to be working under my mentor writing for my local newspaper called the Morning Journal. I cover mostly high school sports but my role is starting to expand. Having this opportunity has opened up many doors for me and now sky really is the limit.
Well that is enough of me rambling about me. I hope to capture all types of audiences with the blogs I post and any feedback, exposure, or advice will definitely be welcomed. Thanks and buckle up for the ride, this is just the beginning of a very exciting chapter of my life.

Super Bowl
This years Super Bowl XLVI match-up between the New England Patriots and New York Giants is a complete toss up. While its hard to go against Brady/Belichik and the revenge factor from the Giants upset and ruining of the Pats perfect season in 07', its also tough to go against a very talented team who hits their stride when it matters most (like last years Packers or the Giants in 07').
All week the spotlights been on the Patriots defense and O-line. No matter what their regular season numbers indicates, these are all pro's and all the best at what they do, when motivated I feel both the D and O-line of the Pats can stand up to the Giants.
If Pats T.E. Rob Gronkowski is healthy and effective today, which it looks as if he will be, this Patriots dynasty will win their 4rth ring.
Final Score- Patriots 31-27

Another NFL Season begins...(Thank God)
After a long off season, most of which was lost due to the nearly 6 month lockout, The 2011 NFL season is finally here. In just four days the New Orleans Saints will kick off the new year against the defending champion Green Bay Packers.
With a new CBA and over 5 months worth of off season activities lost, the first few weeks of the season will be very interesting to watch. Will there be a lot more significant injuries due to the lack of off season preparation? How far behind the 8-ball will young teams with new systems like The Cleveland Browns be because of shortened time to implement everything?
there are tons of questions surrounding the league but there will be a full season and that's all that really matters. So buckle up, get your fantasy drafts finished up, start making your tail-gating plans, and get ready to enjoy another year of the most entertaining sport in America. In the upcoming days I will published my predictions as well as different Fantasy Football outlooks.
With the NBA's chances of beginning on time a lot slimmer than the NFL's was, this will be the year people appreciate the great game of football even more. The worst is over, now it's time to just sit back and enjoy. Here's to 5 months of looking forward all week to Sunday cookouts, tailgating, and great NFL action....
