Rookie Status

Okay... I am rookie at this whole blogging business so if this first post is a little rough, that will remain my excuse.
I thought that I would start out my first blog entry with what my whole Blogger name is all about; Engaging Sports and Personal News. Now, if you aren't new to the whole sports world then you might have an idea of why I went with the acronym, ESPN. If you are not familiar with all things sports, ESPN should sound a little bit familiar, but I will go ahead and give a brief background.
ESPN is actually a Disney network. Everyone loves a little Disney, right?! I know I do! ESPN is, in a nutshell, a sports broadcasting network that will stream anything sports, 24/7. Different things within sports as well. Things such as entertainment going on within the sports world, whatever interesting that could be going on within teams, players, coaches, locker rooms... When I say, "all things sports," I mean it!
So there's that. You might be putting a couple pieces to the puzzle now as to why I named my blog after that acronym. If you haven't gotten the hint yet, let me help you... I LOVE SPORTS.

We all have those passions in life, at least I have never met anyone before who isn't passionate about something. Well, sports just happens to be one of mine. I have grown up watching all kinds of sports ranging from football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, soccer, golf, hockey, tennis... And it never gets old, I love it all. Hence why it's a passion, right? I have grown up learning about each and every one of these different games, some sporting games more than others as we all have a preference. Learning sports stats is one of my most favorite things. Just give me a book full of all things sports history and stats, and then call me in a couple days to make sure I am still alive as I will be extremely engrossed in the learning and the reading.

Now, besides me loving all things sports, ESPN kind of has a whole other meaning to me, maybe it's safe to say, "a special place in my heart?" I plan on working for ESPN one day. Yeah, that's right. I said it! I have a dream to make it on to ESPN Sportscenter one day, and I believe I will be. Now, you may be asking yourself, "okay, how is this girl going to make it on to ESPN?" I'll tell you... I am a sophomore in college and studying Communications with an emphasis in Journalism to be able to do sports broadcasting. Oh, yeah, I love to write too. Which is another reason why I wanted to get into this whole blogging business. My plan is to either be reporting for one specific city or a team within that city, or be a broadcaster on Sportscenter, a program by ESPN. Do you want another reason why I will be making it to ESPN one day? I am extremely ambitious. To be able to achieve your dream, I believe that you have to be. Also, I know that God has called me into this work field. He would not have given me so much passion for any other reason. I firmly believe that and I can not thank my Savior enough for showing me the path that He wants me on.
Now, I am a little unsure at how long these entries should be, but I would say that that sums it all up. I really hope, if you read this, that you enjoyed my first entry and will continue to read the "Engaging" things that I will be posting. :)

Broken Barrier

  On February 26, 2021 a change was officially made in the WNBA that goes far beyond the hardwood.  History was made as a three-member investor group was approved to purchase the Atlanta Dream. Larry Gottesdiener, Renee Montgomery and Suzanne Abair make up this strong force that is this investor group. Montgomery has become the first former player to become both an owner and executive of a WNBA franchise. THIS, this is the breaking barriers.  Pressure began to fall on former Senator Kelly Loeffler as she angered many across the country, most specifically in the WNBA. Loeffler's outward opposition to the league's racial injustice initiative sparked players to push for Loeffler to give up her part-ownership of the Dream.  Yes, she had to go. Not only in her role as Senator but as part-owner of the Atlanta Dream.  What prompted Montgomery to begin considering this journey was a tweet from LeBron James. James mentioned the idea of becoming a part of such a group tha...

Are You Too Hyped? Bring On The Madness.

Can I just tell you all how excited I am for all of this Madness to begin?  You all have your brackets filled out, right? Surprisingly enough, I have actually recruited a couple of my friends to fill one out who have never filled one out before... Let me repeat that; never filled one out! Yeah, I had to hear it twice, too. One of them filled out one bracket and wanted to do another one. It is quite addicting, isn't it? I have to do at least seven. One just isn't enough.  It seems like each year I get more and more excited. I take a look at this year's teams and the caliber of the players from most of the teams and I just think, "I wonder what CRAZY thing is going to happen this time... Or should I say crazy thing(S.)"  Louisville's celebration last year. Repeat? There could be a number of upsets this year due to some underestimating, if you will, ranks. Maybe there will be a back to back Champion? Louisville has quite the potential to do it... As ...
