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!

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...

Potential Super Bowl Matchup?

 Over this past weekend, the Washington Commanders took on the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore for the iconic DMV Battle of the Beltways . Many fans were anticipating this game due to the emergence of potential rookie of the year Jayden Daniels over the past couple weeks. There were even talks of potentially flexing the game to the primetime spot so fans could witness the first showdown between JD5 and Lamar Jackson , two dynamic rushing quarterbacks who have made waves throughout the league. The game did not disappoint with the Baltimore Ravens just barely getting the edge over the Commanders in a one-score victory. Zay Flowers had a career game, reaching 132 receiving yards through 9 catches. Both offenses displayed why these two teams are in the discussion for potentially reaching the super bowl this year. The Ravens offense had 484 total offensive yards with the Commanders having 305.  The Ravens completely shut down the Commander's 2nd best rush...
