Some Slippery Rock Students are angered by the fact the arc is not open at all hours of the day. Sometimes students do not have enough time during the day to exercise and get what they want done.  Some students have recently suggested the arc should stay open 24/7 or at least until early in the morning. At the end of the day, most people want to take their stress out with exercise. Sometimes students can't do that if they finish their homework at midnight. Here is what some students had to say.

Whats happening at Slippery Rock

Students wait in line at the Campus-Grille for lunch. 


Although these pictures do not show much action, they give you the feel of whats going on in these places. The vibe is understood through the picture. I like having a lot of things in the picture not just a simple photo. You need other objects in photo beside's the main feature or else it is boring. The broken window at the heights is dull, however it is a pretty serious issue when you have rocks being thrown through student's windows. I wanted to have more than one thing going on in my pictures, although I couldn't do it for all of them. I do think they turned out good. They are colorful and vary in ideas. I only wish I was around more entertaining and suspenseful moments so I could capture
picture very relevant to this class.

Is Brady the Bad Guy

During the 2015 NFL offseason, Tom Brady was suspended four games for altering the weight of footballs used in a playoff game this past year against the colts. Brady appealed the suspension and it was overturned. He was not suspended for any games. He proved he had no part in deflating the footballs. 

When Brady won the case, a lot of people were upset because they felt he definitely had something to do with deflating the footballs, especially after the public found out he destroyed a cell phone prior to meeting with the chief of the investigation, Ted Wells. Despite the accusations, Brady was proven not guilty. A lot of sports fans think Tom Brady should have been found guilty. These people should rethink their opinions and actually give Brady a pat on the back.

Brady beat the NFL. There is nothing controversial about this dilemma. Roger Goodell finally loses. Goodell is popular among fans, but not in a good way. He started to lose fans when he began fining defensive players for making big hits on offensive players. He also tried changing the name of the "Redskins" because he thought it was racist. This has all brought down his reputation and fans now want him out. He has done more harm to the league than good. 

Now, Tom Brady is being looked down on for giving Goodell a taste of his own medicine. This was the first step to kick Roger Goodell out of his position. This was the best football news I have heard for years. I have wanted Goodell out of the league ever since he was fining Steelers linebacker, James Harrison for making big hits that he couldn't help

The fact of the matter is that Brady made a huge difference for the NFLPA. There are going to be a lot more cases appealed now and hopefully Goodell gets tested more and more. Players, Agents, and even fans are going to be questioning Goodell a lot more, now that Brady made him look a little stupid. He isn't looked at like a good commissioner who does no wrong anymore, because he was wrong. Wrong in the court of law. It doesn't get much worse than that.
