Top 10 NBA Teams
By Edward Morrison
Boston Celtics 12-3 1st in Eastern Conference - Out of the teams that made the finals last year, the Celtics have done way better, and it seems they are just getting better. Don’t sleep on these Celtics
Milwaukee Bucks 11-3 2nd in Eastern Conference - This team’s start was immaculate, and although the Bucks have stumbled a little bit since their 9-0 start, they are still a top-tier team.
Portland Trail Blazers 10-5 1st in Western Conference - This team seemed to be falling off, but everybody, including me, forgot that Portland still possesses Damian Lillard. This team could make some noise this season.
Phoenix Suns 9-5 2nd in Western Conference - People just after that Mavs series thought that this team was falling off because Center Deandre Ayton looked like he might not have a Sun this year. But Ayton stayed a Sun, and the Suns have stayed in contention.
Denver Nuggets 9-5 3rd in Western Conference - This team has four studs in Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Michael Porter Jr. The Nuggets will be strong contenders that could make a run at another deep playoff run.
Atlanta Hawks 9-6 3rd in Eastern Conference - The Hawks have been surprisingly strong with a struggling Trae Young, and once Trae Young gets going, this team will become the best in the east.
Utah Jazz 10-6 4th in Western Conference - We all must admit that the Jazz absolutely fleeced the Timberwolves. This team was supposed to be tanking for Victor Webenyama, but with unexpectedly strong performances from Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen. This team is starting to look like they’re tanking, but if they can get back on track, the Jazz will turn heads.
New Orleans Pelicans 9-6, 5th in Western Conference - These Pelicans are starting to look like they are supposed to be with Zion. They’re on a three-game winning streak. Pelican fans have the exciting prospect of receiving Victor Webanyama without even tanking, as they have a pick swap with the lackluster Lakers.
Memphis Grizzlies 9-6 6th in Western Conference - The Grizzlies are on a two-game losing streak, but don’t count them out. This team is exciting to watch with young star Ja Morant and last year, they showed us that they could compete when Ja is injured. A strong team indeed.
Sacramento Kings 8-6 8th in Western Conference - The Kings are on a five-game winning streak, and this year’s team may finally bring the Kings to the playoffs for the first time in 17 years. This team has the deepest roster in the NBA, and they will keep opposing fans awake at night.

Are there any L.A. Football Fans Out There
By Edward Morrison
Picture this, a massive crowd at an NFL game. This would usually be positive for the home team, but for the Chargers and Rams, it is primarily the road team fans who fill the stadium. This is one of the worst situations to be in. When you have to call a timeout because the opposing team’s fans are too loud, that’s plain embarrassing.
This problem was supposed to subside after the Rams and Chargers moved into their new home, Sofi stadium. However, although the situation has improved, it is still pretty poor. Now that the Rams are having a lackluster season, there is hardly any reason to go to a Ram game, and therefore the crowd becomes dominated by the opposing team’s fans. And that deters the fans who are still sticking around. It’s just a destructive cycle.
The chargers are actually decent, and they might make the playoffs. Unfortunately, the crowd will still have plenty of opposing team fans. And no matter what these L.A. Football teams do, they will always have a group against them. The Rams fans did get excited when the Rams returned to L.A. However, this initial excitement has died down. At least the Rams have won the Superbowl and have made the playoffs consistently, and the Rams did get some fans out of this, but now that they are not so good, they are going to struggle to get Rams fans in the seats. Unfortunately for the Chargers, there was almost no excitement for the arrival, and they have only made the playoffs once in L.A. It’s hard to support a team like that.
This is a big problem because free agents only choose a team with a few fans. The other L.A. sports have, at the very least, a decent fanbase. I mean, the dodgers might be the opposite of this. They usually dominate road games. The Lakers and Kings fans won’t let Crypto.com arena go to the road team. Even the Clippers have a decent fan base that supports them well. The difference with these teams is that these teams have been in L.A. since the ’80s. I think these teams need to endorse the Rams and Chargers. And maybe one day, the Rams fans can dominate opposing teams’ stadiums.

Top 10 NFL teams
By Edward Morrison
Philadelphia Eagles 8-1 1st in NFC east -The Eagles started 8-0 but they lost to the Commanders in a tight contest on Monday. The Eagle's offense has the almost unbeatable trio of QB Jalen Hurts and WRs A.J Brown and Devonta Smith.
Kansas City Chiefs 7-2 1st in AFC west - The Chiefs have been in the top 3 best teams in the NFL for almost five years by now. This team is most likely making the Superbowl. Just avoid some late-season slip-ups, and you're in.
Minnesota Vikings 8-1 1st in NFC north - The Vikings have been excellent, but they're in a very weak division, and their schedule is very weak. The Vikings will not do well against more vigorous opponents in the playoffs.
New York Giants 7-2 2nd in NFC east - The Giants are a good football team, but they've only played the easy games of their schedule. The second half of their season will be a gauntlet, and although they should make the playoffs, the Giants will have to win some toughies as they still have both of their games against the rival Eagles left.
Miami Dolphins 7-3 1st in AFC east - What a rebound! The Dolphins started 3-0, but they lost three straight after having an injury wave at quarterback. Since Tua returned, the Dolphins have won 4 straight, and there are no signs that they're stopping soon.
New York Jets 6-3 2nd in AFC east - The Jets are coming off a massive win against the rival Bills, which is a big reason they are ahead of the Bills. After an iffy start to the season, these Jets have been flying.
Tennessee Titans 7-3 1st in AFC South - The Titans are coming in hot, winning 7 of their last eight, and this Titans team which struggled early, is becoming a Superbowl contender.
New York Jets 6-3 2nd in AFC east - The Jets are coming off a massive win against the rival Bills, which is a big reason they are ahead of the Bills. After an iffy start to the season, these Jets have been flying.
Baltimore Ravens 6-3 1st in AFC North - The Ravens are red hot and on a 3-game winning streak since their iffy 3-3 start, and it seems like this team is dead set on the playoffs
Dallas Cowboys 6-3 3rd in NFC east - The Cowboys had a tough loss in Green Bay, but other than that, this squad has been, and being 3rd in the NFC east does not do this team justice. If they keep going, they can try to win the division, but if I were them, I'd focus on the playoffs.

Tate Vs. Paul
By Jonah Shirazi and Jonathan Gorodezki
Andrew Tate and Logan Paul used to be good friends until Jake called out on him in a boxing match. Andrew agrees, and this becomes a viral sensation on many social media platforms like Tiktok, YouTube, and Twitter. Most of the population is on Tate's side because he is known as The Top G, and everybody loves him. Users are making counterfeit things for the fight on some platforms, and some are just really excited. Andrew Tate and Logan Paul, just non-stop, are hating on each other on social media. Hopefully, this fight will be in the future, and if it doesn't happen, many fans will be mad and do some wild stuff for revenge. According to the internet, this fight could happen anytime in about a month.
