Hudson Gray Week 7- The Terrible Season


     

The Terrible Season

    Today I am going to be writing about the Indianapolis Colts, my favorite football team, because their season has been flipped upside down. From week 1, I could tell this colts team was really not great but I keep trying to convince myself they could be something good. From having one of the best offensive lines in the league they now have one of the worst. One of the crazy events of the season happened two weeks ago when our starting quarterback, Matt Ryan, was benched. Matt Ryan is a former MVP and a 4 time pro bowler so everyone expected him to have a good season. However, I forgot to mention that he is 37! His old age really showed during his seven starts this season with his lack of arm strength and absolutely no mobility at all. Although he did have his moments, everyone knew a change needed to be made. With the announcement of Ryan's benching, this meant 24 year old Sam Eglinger would be starting. Ehlinger was drafted in round six of the 2021 NFL draft. This is his second season and so before the past two weeks, he had no NFL experience. So far through two starts, he hasn’t looked terrible but he hasn't looked great either. Now, let me move on to the bigger news this week that all happened yesterday. After an atrocious loss to the patriots on sunday, Colts head coach, Frank Reich, was fired on monday. As a fan, I agreed with this change although it was still a shock to myself and others. He had been the Colts coach for 4 seasons and is a very well regarded coach, but after the season the colts are having a large change needed to be made. It wasn’t until six hours later that the Colts hired an interim head coach. Now this was a humongous shock to everyone. The Colts hired Jeff Saturday who was a former center for the Colts and is now an ESPN analyst. You may be thinking to yourself that that doesn't sound so terrible but when you look at his coaching experience and see almost nothing, your thoughts will change. I am not that upset with everything that has happened because I understand that this season can’t get much worse than it already is and has been. Do any of you watch or follow football?

    My favorite NFL team is the Miami Dolphins! Unfortunately after their starting quarterback's injury, it doesn't seem like they have a high chance at making the playoffs which really makes me upset because I love watching them so much.

    It seems that the team has been placing inexperienced people into important roles such as Head Coach and starting quarterback.

Joshua Grynbaum Week 5: DKJA Open House

Image
     Some of you may be wondering why I am submitting this blog a day late… Did I forget? Am I just irresponsible? The true reason is that last night I had the honor of attending the Donna Klein Jewish Academy Open House. The Open House was truly an eye-opening experience, where I got to introduce myself and the amazing clubs our Rosenblatt Highschool has. I volunteered as a tour guide and helped set up and lead many of the club stands that attended.      The two main stands I promoted were the Jewish Student Union Club (JSU) and the Business Program. I personally know the presidents of both clubs, which made it easier for me to introduce the clubs to the upcoming parents and students of Rosenblatt Highschool. The Business Club didn’t get much action due to it being in a separate room with all the “signature clubs”, but JSU was a whole different story. The presidents were playing Israeli music at their table, which caught the attention of many parents, and ...

Aaron Mibab 3: Hazamir

Image
Last year and this summer I had the privilege of participating in the Jewish teen choir named Hazamir. Hazamir is an international singing group, with its chapters primarily located in the United States and Israel. In order to participate in Hazamir, one must be able to sing but the ability to sight-read is not necessary. Its music and events have led me to a larger repertoire, increased understanding of music, and more friends. I am so excited to continue singing in Hazamir this year too! Despite Hazamir’s amazing offerings, the Boca Raton Chapter is too small and needs more numbers.  Hazamir has almost weekly meetings where participants practice and learn the provided music. These practices typically last 2 hours and are very casual and fun! Last year, I became very close to the other members of my chapter through the songs we learned. Additionally, during the break from learning, I would bond with the other participants with the occasional Ice-breaker and talking.  So...

Aaron Mibab 6: Recycling at Donna Klein

Image
     Ever since I was little, I remember my father taking out the recycling or doing activities relating to recycling. He would remove the tabs from coke cans and collect them; I remember he had a large bag or two where the metal tabs stayed. I also remember “helping” him take apart boxes so more could fit into the recycling bins. Recycling was important to him because it is taking care of the environment and world that his children will inherit. Due to his beliefs, I believe recycling is important to take care of the world that will one day be my responsibility.      Many of you reading this blog may think, “recycling at Donna Klein? Why would that be a topic? I have seen recycling bins in the school.” Well due to my participation in the Green club, I was informed that Donna Klein does not actually recycle.       Donna Klein is also proud of its earned certification as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthous...
