Thank you for reading!

 Since the beginning of this blog, we've discussed a few things involving a variety of sports, including football, soccer, tennis, and more. I've had a great time writing this blog which really got me out of my comfort zone regarding my writing ability. 

Discussing sports and doing sports research is something that I have always really enjoyed, but I never knew I would be capable of doing some kind of blog such as this. However, with my life getting more and more busy and being on the brink of graduation from college, I have decided that I am going to call Halftime Headlines to a halt. 

This has been a great learning experience and I have enjoyed these weekly blogs. Making weekly picks between teams turned out to also be a great test of my knowledge and I enjoyed coming back every week to see how my predictions turned out along with my analysis and breakdown of the two sides.

I want to thank everyone who has tuned in and followed my blog throughout the course of this semester. Hopefully I can pick it up again when I have some more free time!

However, it is becoming increasingly clear that VAR technology is causing more harm than good throughout the sport. As a result, VAR has changed the natural flow, emotion and overall experience of the average soccer match, which are core components of this historical sport. All soccer fans and players have had an experience with a bad referee at one point or another. Whether it be a late or questionable offside call, a game-altering red card, or a penalty decision that changes the momentum of the game, these errors have haunted the sport since its creation. One notorious instance of these pre-VAR problems occurred during the 1986 World Cup match between Argentina and England . Diego Maradon...

Jayden Daniels Masterclass

 Welcome back to Halftime Headlines. This week I wanted to touch on how history was made Monday night between the Washington Commanders and the Cincinnati Bengals . In my last blog post, I wrote about how the Commanders were the biggest losers of the week because of how Jayden Daniels ' strong debut performance was overshadowed by the massive mistakes made on the defensive side of the ball. This week I have decided to write regarding the same topic - however on a much more positive note.  Daniels made history on Monday by overtaking Dak Prescott for the rookie passing completion percentage record with an impressive 91.3% which compares to Dak's 88.9%. The Commanders offense as a whole has been making huge strides the past couple weeks, with the team not having punted or given up a single turnover in the past two games. They have scored on every single drive with the exception of taking a kneel at the end of the half or the game. Interestingly enough, the Bengals also did no...
