svt reblogs

master post

reblogs consist of various fics i’ve found that i personally enjoy and hope you do too 🦢

read at ur own risk! some works are 18+ and not meant for younger audiences

there will be some bias towards other members mainly cause i personally read theirs more

order will go: name/link + author, synopsis, and my notes

please support the writers by reblogging their works! everyone in general would appreciate 🕯️

seungcheol:

dad of the year @/wondernus

seungcheol accidentally reveals he has a daughter on a first date and doesn't know how to tell you that his daughter is a dog

hello tutorial @/97-liners

it’s your final year of college, and you’ve been elected president of your sorority. this is all great and fine, but as the semester goes on, you find yourself having repeated run-ins with the president of the fraternity next door in a series of unfortunate coincidences (that might not actually be coincidences, as you come to discover). 

or 

in which you’re trying to deal with your crush on seungcheol in a normal way, but the meddling kids are making it harder than it needs to be. 

notes: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS LIKE ALMOST ONE OF MY FAVORITE FICS OF ALL TIME I LOVE IT OH SO MUCH!! please read this it’s actually perfect ive reread it so much just cause of how much i love it. THIS FIC IS THE EPITOME OF MY LIFE. THIS WRITER DESERVES AN OSCAR AND EVERY SINGLE AWARD IN THE WORLD

boyfriend texts @/lololololchips

notes:so cute and sweet ☹️🫶

fifteen to forever @/gyuswhore

Fifteen was the age you had met Choi Seungcheol at a school hockey game. Forever was the age you would find yourself spending with him. 

notes:THIS FIC IS ACTUALLY SOO SWEET I LOVED IT SO MUCH. must read fr💯💯

jeonghan:

nothing new @/luvhhannie

no one would’ve thought that unspoken feelings would’ve been the best for you and jeonghan

notes: hanahaki is such a painfully good au and this fic just perfectly captures it!! i would recommend it wholeheartedly

to live again @/viastro

it’s been years since your last milestone birthday; a time when everything still felt right in the world with youth and ambition. now that you’re older and times have changed, would you dare take a chance to save someone else in the past at the cost of your own future?

notes: oh. my. GOD. this fic is oh sosososo good and i loved the slow burn too. i never expected to have such a lasting impression on a fic but this one is just *chefs kiss* i love it so much, it’s definitely somewhere at the top of my fav fics

ode to you @/lovelyhan 

if there's one thing you've learned from all the lives you've spent together, it's that jeonghan isn't always someone you'll end up wanting. he can be crass. he can be secretive. he can be nothing short of vexing. but in the end, he's everything you need him to be. or:  25 lives in which you find and don't find jeonghan.

notes: this story was so cute and i love how it was created 🥹 i really liked it and i hope yall will too cause this is a great read, and every single life was so good 

proud @/blue-jisungs

hi this is a req ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ i am SUCH  a strong believer that jeonghan babies u no matter what or when. even in front of his members n theyre js like erm get a room?

notes: this is super cute and fluffy, also scoups 😭😭 so funny

my heart is beating for two @/seuonji

you’re a worker at the daycare and of course, your main priority is the safety of the kids. how’d you deal with an unfamiliar face trying to pick up one of the kids one day? 

jeonghan becomes fond of the daycare worker he met the other day, seems like fate is on his side through this journey, or is it?

jeonghan becomes fond of the daycare worker he met the other day. they finally exchanged numbers! how does it go on from there?

notes: all three parts are all sososo good and i loved reading each one. this story is so cute and i just loved reading it and i reallly recommend it🥹

daisies @/viastro 

the best type of revenge is to hurt the person that means the most to them. aka, in which jeonghan is in charge of making you fall in love with him, just to break your heart. 

notes: OMG THIS IS SO GOOD!! i really enjoyed this and i loved reading the whole thing 🫶🫶🫶

beef @/wondernus

in which yoon jeonghan (the random guy you gamed with) found your twitter account, prompting the largest and ugliest twitter beef you've ever been in.

notes: this is so. incredibly. funny. i literally never knew i needed this fic in my life its just so good 😭

the selfish dilemma @/joonsytip

It was love at first sight ever since you laid eyes on Jeonghan. To him, you are the annoying co-worker who keeps asking him out. No one is new to your courting agenda which only pisses off Jeonghan but what happens when you stop, all at once....

notes: this series is incredibly good and i loved. reading it. i really recommend cause it was a great fic and it still stands as a great one

love café @/chocosvt

while you’ve spent the last few months pretending the love café doesn’t exist, you realize you need its services now more than ever. this brings you face to face with jeonghan, the son of a luxury fashion designer who’s got money to burn. your exchanges are strictly business. until they’re not. 

notes: LOVE CAFE ACTUALLY MAKES MY HEAD SPIN I LOVE IT SO MUCH. THIS WRITER WROTE IT PERFECTLY I ACTUALLY ADORE IT SO MUCH!! PLEASE READ I LOVED IT 🙏 JUST EVERYTHING AHHH, IF YOU DONT LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE I SAY LISTEN TO THIS LOVE CAFE IS GREAT

the long way @/trblsvt

 it was just like any other shoot. go in, pose, drink water, don't get food on the clothes, and don't joke around with the staff. easy. except it wasn't that easy.

notes: i loved this one so much it was a perfect read and it’s just 😭🫶

the christmas boyfriend @/rubyreduji

when you tell your mom the little white lie that you have a boyfriend, you don’t expect it to evolve into bringing your friend with benefits home for christmas. what can go wrong?

notes: this is actually one of my TOP favorites of all time and of jeonghan fics. if it’s not even first, that is. i loved this so stinking much it’s not even comprehensible. PLEASE im begging you read this. i loved it so much. even if you aren’t reading this at christmas time, it is still a perfect fic and i absolutely love it. one of my first (maybe also my last 🤭) top fics

iris beauty @/wonunuu

you and mina have been best friends for as long as you remember. after your parents passed from a horrible car accident, mina’s parents kindly took you in, tending and caring for you as their own. at such a young age, you have learned the meaning of debt as this is your constant feeling towards your best friend and her parents. to compensate, you have showed them undoubtable loyalty, respect, love and kindness, just as they have showed you; you do everything they tell you without question. so when your best friend asks you to pretend to be her in meeting a guy she has been talking to online, your loyalty and trust are tested when you unintentionally develop feelings for him. 

notes: this smau is genuinely so good and one i will read over and over again no matter how long it is. the storyline is mapped out PERFECTLY and i mightve read this all in one sitting…

how many times does it take to get smarter?

how many chances are too many chances? @/veethefreeelf

Jeonghan and you start a fwb relationship after years of being best friends. He only has two rules: no feelings and no kissing. Who’s going to break the rules first?

It’s been 6 months since the night you and Jeonghan went your separate ways. You’re sure he has moved on and you… are working on moving on. Nothing can go wrong, right?

notes: AHHHHHHHHH THE ENDING IS SO CUTE OMGGGGGGGG HAHAHAHAGAGAHAHAHHQHQHQJAHA. PLEASE READ IWHQHQGAGQGQH SO GOOOOOD

joshua:

isohel @/toruro

fairytales can be rather misleading, can't they? when you and your mother are ripped away from your life at the castle, you spend over a decade resenting the royalty. so naturally, when you find prince joshua at your doorstep, you’re more than eager to shut the door on him. but as your life takes twists and turns, you happen to find yourself in the arms of a man you never thought you'd have to see again.

notes: THIS MODERN ROYALTY AU IS JUST. PERFECTION. i believe this is a must read for all carats🫡 i loved it so much!!

untitled @/som1ig

you waited for him, and he still came, unbeknownst all odds

notes: ong this is so sweet and i loved reading this. it’s so good 🫶 (short but sweet)

you were beautiful @/viastro

a modernized cinderella au. in which you and joshua meet through your love for boba popsicles, but end up living out your very own complicated, mess filled, cinderella story.

notes: ONE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND EACH MOMENT MADE ME WANT MORE. the angsty parts.. the fluff.. this one is defff a top read!! i recommend it to all (even non-joshua stans but idk if i trust u if u arent one even in the slightest 🤨)

notes: ngl i thought it would be how he would be like a discord mod bf.. (💀) but in reality it was vv cute and nice 🙌

for the books @/trblsvt

wonwoo's students seemed intent on matching him up with a fellow teacher. he didn't really want to stop them, it was too funny for him to break up their fun. plus, he didn't mind the certain someone he was being "set up" with. 

notes:this one is a good one!! very nice and the students are 💯 top tier

take it easy (slowly carve out my heart) @/savventeen

wonwoo's assignment: become your husband and bide his time until given the command to kill you. a simple mission, really — one that shouldn't have been hard. except, he never accounted for the fact that he might actually fall in love with you. too bad he's the perfect little soldier.

notes: in my own words, “this made me truly sob. made me wrench my heart out. this is amazing angst. this is the only kind of amazing angst i want to read now ♾️♾️♾️” 

to my youth @/viastro

in a world where everyone finds out who loves them within a 10 meter radius through the app love alarm, confessing your feelings without the use of the app is no longer considered normal. however, you refuse to download it in hopes that you’ll be able to fall in love without being dependent on love alarm.

notes:ngl in general ALL of viastro’s smaus deserve to be read fr.. like this one is so cute!! wonwoo in some of the moments just make me 😍😍 also the angst was fr sooo good

notes: currently only the dino and joshua one are uploaded (waiting SO painfully for the jeonghan one) but even though them being long might make you not want to read them, every single word was chosen perfectly and both stories just blew me away i loved them so much, definitely in my top 10 fics

text messages of u asking ur boyfie (hyung line) for a pic <3

notes: these texts are soo funny and the pictures are chosen with care, i legit could tell, AND YOU COULDNT HAVE STARTED WITH THOSE CHEOL PICS LIKE WHAT 😫

inflection point @/lovelyhan 

you love yoon jeonghan. no, scratch that. you fucking adore yoon jeonghan; so much that the moment he asks you to be in an exclusive set-up with his current partner, you accept the offer in a heartbeat. what you fail to consider, however, is who your boss’ boyfriend actually is.

things make a turn for the worse (or the better?) when jeonghan leaves you with the most insufferable person on earth. but maybe a few weeks alone is exactly what you and seungcheol needed after all.

after reconciling with your first love, all seems well in your relationship thus far. but when you notice jeonghan distancing himself from you and seungcheol, you're determined to get to the bottom of it.

notes: AHAHAHHAHAHHHHHAHHHHHH INFLECTION POINT IS SO. GOOD. I RECOMMEND EVERYONE READ IT CAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! the story is great, the story writing is even better, and it is just overall a superior fic 🙏

What if Logan Takes in the Mob Kids (Part 2) | Piano Boy

Summary: 1930-1941. New York is just a dream. Where they're from. They've been on the road for a long time. They've been everywhere but aren't anyone. They're James, Rebecca, and Logan Barnes or James and Rebecca Logan.

Inspiration and some dialog taken from the 616 comics Wolverine: Origins and Black Widow: Deadly Origin.

Warnings: Canon Typical Violence/brainwashing/Sabretooth

Part 1

The kids grow. They get better. More dangerous. They're James and Rebecca Logan and Logan is Patch. They're James. Rebecca, and Logan Barnes. They travel. Madripoor, Canada, the States, China, Japan. Not always together. Not always working Those Types of jobs. Becca becomes a volunteer at a hospital in Paris. James plays piano in Berlin. Logan is a sailor and gets offered martial arts lessons in Japan (he declined). They participate in the Spanish Civil War.

It's the same thing the Red Room gives the Black Widows. The Kudrin Treatment. Little to no aging. Enhanced bodies. No fear of time, sickness, death. Fresh a spring rose.

Of the two siblings, Rebecca is the first one to get enhanced.

It's not a choice.

She's won against Sabretooth before. At first, Creed thought she was weak. Easy pickings. But she's been trained by Logan and she knows Logan's weaknesses as much as she knows her and Jimmy's own. Confuse his nose, his ears. The first time Creed went after her, she shot him in the head. Ran to a factory that had been closed for the night. Turned on the line. Covered herself in grease. Creed didn't know what hit him. It was the bullets from a Tommygun.

Logan kept apologizing for Creed that night, after she washed most of the grease off. Tucked her into bed. Jimmy was out on a mission, so it was just them two above the Princess Bar.

"Occupational hazard. Being friends with the Wolverine," she joked. "Don't worry about me, bub."

"Bub!?" Logan snickered, cracking up another beer. He's sitting by her side. "Pickin' up my lingo?"

"Patch." Sly smile, pulling the quilt up until she's just a pair of brown eyes and a forehead. "You and Jimmy've taught me everything I know about fighting."

Logan scratches his sideburns, "That's what worries me."

In 1938, she's 24. To those interested parties, her youth is running out. She's in the States (California, the Redwoods), when Sabretooth catches her by surprise. This time, she doesn't have time to fight back. To get away. Her mission was to pump an industrialist for information. That was a lie to get her away from the boys.

Their employers have a nurse drip the Kudrin treatment in her IV while the doctors are trying to stem the flow of blood.

The next time they meet up, Seraph's employer wants them to train with a Taras Romanov for the next two years.

It's a miraculous recovery. Surviving that type of mauling. Not even a scar. She doesn't remember how she finished the mission (there was no mission). She doesn't remember Sabretooth and knowing nobody's coming. Or the Incident with Barnes. The love of her family, who she hasn't seen since she was 10.

Her family, the Barneses, the Logans, is told in hockey matches and fist fights. In patching up traumatized townspeople as the employer orders the Pinkertons to rough up the strikers. In garroting a Pinkerton agent after luring him in with promises of a dance. In helping women escape their husbands, their fathers. Being the midwife, just passing through. In cage fights (a girl versus whoever is the champ in this rundown bar?) In every corvid gift Jimmy hands her or the way he plays piano. The way she handles a knife in a fight or in a medical tent in Spain. In Logan's gruff smile and rougher hugs. The way he taught her how to use her size and center of gravity against bigger, stronger foes. Wolverines have been able to take down wolves.

1938 - USSR Training Facility

All the details are fuzzy, the four of them agree later. This period of their lives where they all intersect. Here's what they know.

Rebecca is 24. James is 21. Natalia is 18. Logan is unknown.

Taras Romanov teaches a masterclass in espionage. is it an academy of orphan girls? Is it just them and Taras on an estate somewhere? The trio learns. Logan teaches his daughter, Natalia, in hand to hand combat. Over the next two years, they rotate between going abroad and learing from Taras.

It's a setup. Natalia is not his child. Natalia belongs to the State. One of 28 Black Widow Ops students in Department X's Red Room Academy. If pressed, she'll say she's one of 28 ballerina students at the Bolshoi. The training is hard but for the glory of Soviet culture...

She's on break. She's trying to see if Taras is loyal to the State.

Neither sibling or Logan presses. It's not like they know who they are either. Natalia asks her "Little Uncle" if he knows who he is, really, one day, during a spar. "No idea!"

"Ha! Me neither!" She flips him, punching him in the face hard enough to draw blood. "But I think we'll have a long time to find out."

"Kid. I'll tell you what I've told the other two." Logan gets up, wipes his face. "Don't trouble yourself with the future. For people like us, the future's just another bad day."

New York is a dream. Where they're from. No details. They've been on the road for a long time.

To be fair, Natalia does have the moves. Even if her feet aren't mangled from a lifetime of dancing on bricks. Rebecca learns a few ballet basics and teaches Natalia decadant Western dancing. Even if Rebecca is 6 years older and looks nothing like Natalia, they could be sisters. They eat meals across from one another, side by side in drills, sleep next to one another in the dorm. (The Red Room decides Rebecca has potential, even if she is an unorthodox choice. Older. But, she has been conditioned from a different branch). Rebecca and James regale Natalia with stories of their travels.

James gamely participates in ballet as well. Being able to lift girls above his head on one arm does tend to make him popular. As does being the only young man at the school. But Natalia is the one he kisses.

He thinks of that stolen kiss when Logan tells them their final mission here. Kill Taras and Natalia.

"Like hell we are!" he snaps at Logan, hands clenched in fists. Rebecca nods in agreement, hands on her hips. Taras didn't matter. Natalia was their comrade.

He shoots Taras in 1941 when the students are out on a survival exercise. Natalia lures Logan in a trap to try and kill him, because that's her final mission. Take the younger ones back to the Red Room after she gets in contact with Ivan (who she previously forgot).

"It's not like I like it either," Logan snarls. "I'll take care of it. Don't worry your pretty heads about it."

Logan gets the upper hand. Tells her to go. She hides out on the estate until Ivan comes, months later.

Becca is 27 and could pass for a young lady. James is 24. Logan is Unknown. In 1941, just off their time in Russia, their employer calls them back to the facility in Canada. Don't they know there's a War going on?

Penance at Discharge (Post 111) 10-14-15

                        Last Wednesday evening I traveled from work in Youngstown to Cleveland to pick up Stephen and take him home after the completion of his week of testing for epilepsy.  I decided to work the full day and arrive at around 5 PM because I believe I had previously tried every conceivable pick-up time at John Muir Medical Center and a dozen other hospitals and have always still found the hospital staff woefully unprepared to discharge either Pam, Nick, Abby, Stephen or Natalie on almost every single occasion.  Because I spend my professional life using Lean Manufacturing tools to carve minutes and seconds out of processes to achieve savings, unnecessary hospital discharge delays always grate on my nerves. Luckily, in a former life, decades ago, I wore the uniform of our country and am hardwired to tolerate circumstances where a “hurry up and wait “outcome is assured.

Upon arrival in Stephen’s room, I was greeted by mysteriously mixed signals.  Stephen was already garbed in sweatshirt, sweatpants and sneakers like he was ready to head home, but he still had an IV visible on his hand.  Usually when a person is being discharged after a serious illness, removing the IV is nearly the last precautionary order of business.  Stephen, though, had checked in for testing in a relatively healthy state and had not had any unexpected issues during the tests.  His nurse soon arrived to dispel my confusion; he let me know that Stephen would be ready for discharge immediately after completing an MRI, for which he had waited all day.  Evidently, University Hospital’s policy is to assign the highest daytime priority for MRI, CT, Ultrasound and probably every other possible test service to outpatients, because, theoretically, inpatients can stay all night.  We left the hospital about three hours later at 8 PM. Not the most customer pleasing denouement to our visit, but otherwise Stephen was treated very well.

If I were a cradle Catholic, I probably would have remembered to offer up the entire experience, but, in actuality, Stephen’s hospital room was equipped with a passable selection of cable television channels so I think I passed the time treating my senses to an electronic barrage following the entertainment fasting conditions we have been living under since we moved out of my parent’s house.  I can’t remember what I watched.  Maybe I didn’t watch television at all and instead scrolled through Facebook, but I don’t think I could have whiled away three solid hours weaving through all the pages of what my friends have posted.  Usually I can only take so much Facebook as the recycled memes are often very repetitive.  Also I have a number of Libertarian, atheist and Pro-Choice friends that rake my scrolling sensibilities with morally questionable material or untruths that I generally try to identify and pass by like the doggie deposits that Natalie’s pets have peppered across my lawn – mowing my lawn is somewhat like hopscotch. For instance, I am friends with one of my high school football coaches, with whom I seem to agree and am able to “like” for less than ten percent of his posts. Luckily he has children and grandchildren, but I digress.

By Thursday morning I had largely forgotten the ordeal of disembarking from UH the previous evening. Natalie and I shared a last breakfast together as I planned to return to my regular morning schedule of 3 AM reveilles and 4 AM departures on Friday morning.  The work day proceeded and ended without significant event as I prepared notes and outlines for a leadership course that I intend to teach for supervisors this week upcoming.  At the end of my shift I felt quite relieved to be headed on only an hour commute home to Streetsboro instead of orbiting onward for an extra forty five minutes north eastward through Cleveland and only back to our cozy two-story after visiting Stephen. Normality seemed an alluring flavor after a week of passing time in extra driving and all too familiar clinical surroundings.

My phone buzzed as I was pulling into a gas station to top off my tank near the on-ramp of I-76, my tollless thoroughfare of choice from the Eastern border towards north central Ohio. I thought it would be a receptionist calling to provide information for Stephen’s follow-up appointment, but instead I recognized the heavy accent of my son’s neurologist who was calling to provide the results from the forgotten MRI.  I made her give me the date and time for the follow-up appointment first as we were both surprised that no scheduling information had been provided at discharge.  She then let me know that they had found something abnormal on Stephen’s MRI.  It was a sunny afternoon, but my soul seemed to darken with her words.

There was an unusual but small spot on his scan, that hadn’t activated with contrast so she thought it was unlikely to be cancer.  I asked clarifying questions with the concerned detachment of a person used to the responsibility of interpreting medical information for others including the patient.  The spot was not in the vicinity of the locus of Stephen’s epileptic activity as determined by a PET scan during his hospital stay.  The spot was being termed an “incidental finding” to be monitored by a follow-up MRI before Stephen’s next neurology visit in November.  The spot was consistent with the lesions often found in the brains of people who suffer from migraine headaches.  Stephen doesn’t get migraines.  The phone call ended and I resumed my drive.

As I drove, I slipped back into long practiced habits.  I finished my Divine Mercy Chaplet for the afternoon and offered a few extra prayers accepting whatever the overall outcome might be but also with hope that Stephen’s continued bad health not lead us down the cancer trail into a terminal cul-de-sac.  Then I picked up the phone and gave Pam’s mother the first call as I drove.  It is not the type of phone call that I relish making, but I prefer to give correct and realistic information directly to Barb rather than have her hear half-information from second-hand sources. I called my brother Sean next because I’ve found that giving several key people complete information is much better than giving lots of people partial information.  I called Abby as well and repeated almost verbatim what I had told Sean and Barbara.

I knew that none of them would splash the news onto Facebook, but all would be able to provide clarification once the news did hit social media.  Everything eventually ends up on Facebook.  Nicholas, unfortunately, found out that his mother had died via social media while he was on break at Straw Hat.  I hadn’t considered that possibility when I informed several family members of Pam’s death, but chose not to tell Nicholas for safety reasons. I didn’t want him driving home in a condition where he couldn’t pay attention.  I have since remembered to consider the possibility of a Facebook spill with sensitive information.

By that time I had arrived my parent’s house to pick up Natalie.  (The bus drops her off there in case I am held up at work.)  I let my parents know about the spot on Stephen’s MRI face-to-face.  That is my preference for difficult news, but personal conversations are not always possible once the pebble has dropped into the pool in our information age.  With both sets of grandparents dutifully briefed, I drove the couple of miles remaining through Streetsboro boulevards and avenues so that I could pass the bad news to Stephen.  I expected that he would have questions.  My son is in a much better place now with regard to paranoia, but I remember some very bad times with him after Pam’s death.

Instead Stephen smiled at the news and asked me why I didn’t remember watching Nicola Tesla.  At first I thought he was talking gibberish, but after several minutes of further conversation, I realized that Stephen had remembered a forgotten incident from a decade previous back when we lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  

A bi-polar child misdiagnosed as hyper-active, Stephen’s made a long promenade through various unsuccessful treatment plans until eventually a doctor decided that Stephen needed a brain MRI.  In preparation for the scan Stephen had to stay up all night the day previous to his test. I stayed up with him.  At about 4 AM we ended up watching a long documentary about the imminently brilliant and simultaneously wacked-out physicist Nicola Tesla.  I had totally forgotten about the entire experience.  Nothing to help Stephen’s condition was found by the MRI, but Stephen did remember being petrified by the discovery of an “incidental finding” of a spot on his brain that was not immediately dangerous but should be monitored in the future.  I guess I forgot to do so.

I spent the next half an hour reeling back in the thread of incomplete information that I had earlier cast out.  It made me chuckle to have finally found the missing bookend of experience to complete the short-lived horror from all those years ago.  An incident that had appeared to be random and pointlessly scary until its import made its comet-like return to my solar system at a time so remote that only my most distracted son remembered the original occurrence. Because there is a God, I know that everything in my life has a purpose and a reason even when the mosaic of occurrences appears too close to be deciphered from my vantage point.

Unhappily, I was reminded that life can be hard to understand in a different way on Sunday. A 16 year-old daughter of a good friend from my youth died unexpectedly from a brain hemorrhage at Saturday field hockey practice at a high school in New England. I could see no purpose to the death of a young girl within a close proximity to her teammates.  I have seen the impact of that type of situation on servicemen and can’t fathom how a bunch of young women will suffer the impact of witnessing the loss of a friend in those circumstances.  Unfortunately, my imagination is probably sufficient to paint the details of the scene in my head if I try to do so:  a teary-eyed teammate sprinting for help, an adult coach working to revive or fix something in a little girl’s body that cannot be repaired, a collapsed collection of sobbing teenagers left at the scene after the ambulance has departed.  I can make no sense of what has become of the poor girl’s short and seemingly glorious years – she tutored underprivileged kids.

While there is a Mass card for her waiting for pickup in my mailbox, I have no adequate words to send to her teammates or family.  Yet I do know that flowers of love will sprout from the death of Casey Dunne in Braintree, Massachusetts just as good things have come from Pam’s death years removed and a continent away.  That does not mean that I am happy to have lost my wife, Barb’s daughter and the mother of my children.  I accept the experience and understand that good was achieved through God’s plan. While I am very happy that it does not look like Stephen will need a craniotomy, I am no longer naive enough to believe that Pam’s death was the last tragedy that I will experience. I do know that I will accept what comes and trust in God’s goodness even when my human understanding is insufficient to grasp the providence of a horrifying situation.

ICYMI: These Were the Highlights From the Stronger Together Concert

The largest single-show broadcast in Canadian history, Stronger Together, Tous Ensemble brought together the biggest names in the country, from actors and athletes to musicians, authors, activists and more. The special event honouring healthcare workers and raising money for Food Banks Canada featured musical performances, messages of hope and solidarity, and also told the stories of frontline workers and COVID-19 survivors. Now, we’re reliving some of the highlights from the show.

Canadian rocker Sam Roberts kicked off the show with an uplifting acoustic rendition of his 2014 single “We’re All In This Together,” with his three children accompanying him on music. Celine Dion addressed viewers in French and English, praising the “heroes out there around the world who are going to work every single day.” Other celebrities who made an appearance include author Margaret Atwood; dance troupe Cirque du Soleil’s Kevin, Andi and Gasya Atherton; actors Mike Myers, Will Arnett (with a special appearance by Amy Poehler) and Kiefer Sutherland; and the entire cast of Schitt’s Creek.

The goal of Stronger Together, Tous Ensemble was to raise money for Food Banks Canada’s $150 million campaign to provide immediate support to food banks across the nation during the pandemic, and over the course of the 90-minute event, so many Canadians sent in donations that they broke the internet. “Canada, you’re amazing,” organizers of the event tweeted. “The @foodbankscanada website has crashed under the weight of your generosity.” For those who still wish to donate, there’s plenty of time. Text COVID to 30333, call 1 [phone], or head to Foodbankscanada.ca to make whatever contribution you can afford.

In case you missed it last night, check out some Stronger Together highlights below:

Alessia Cara

Before performing Randy Newman’s “You’ve Got a Friend In Me” with her band, Grammy-winning Brampton native Alessia Cara shared a personal message to viewers about the importance of human connection and friendship, especially in the most trying of times.

“I want to play you guys a song that I really loved growing up, that I feel is pretty important and fitting in this crazy, weird, difficult time we’re going through right now,” she said. “And I think if there’s anything we can learn from it, it’s that there’s nothing we can’t get through together. In fact, everything’s always a little bit easier when we have each other. So hopefully this gives you a little bit of hope or joy.”

Shania Twain

From her home in British Columbia, Shania Twain shared a special message for Canadian frontline workers—healthcare workers, drivers transporting food and health supplies, cleaners and first responders. “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for putting yourself out there, putting yourself at risk,” she said, tearing up. “We couldn’t do this without you, we would be in a much bigger mess without you.”

She then went on to perform—with her labrador Melody by her side—a couple of verses of the title track “Up!” from her 2002 album, providing a slight coronavirus twist to the lyrics.

Barenaked Ladies, Michael Bublé and Sofia Reyes

Michael Bublé and Barenaked Ladies performed a song titled “Gotta Be Patient” with Mexican singer-songwriter Sofia Reyes, tweaking the lyrics with coronavirus references. “I just want to see my friends / I want to walk the street again / But I gotta be patient / So let’s enjoy this confination,” began the song, leading into: “I just wanna feel your love / Coz Instagram is not enough for me / So I gotta be patient / Let’s enjoy this confination.”

Ryan Reynolds and Eric McCormack

The two actors provided some moments of levity, with Ryan Reynolds quipping that the day marked “the 10-year anniversary of the quarantine we’ve been on for the last six weeks.” Eric McCormack spoke of how Canadians can get through anything, sharing an anecdote from his youth, before going on to introduce Sarah McLachlan as “one of Canada’s most precious natural resources.”

“I spent my 20s in theatres from Vancouver to New Brunswick,” he said. “And let me tell you, if Canadians can brave a three-hour production of Henry IV Part Two in the dead of the Winnipeg winter, they can do anything.”

Thank you @EricMcCormack for the message of love ❤️. #StrongerTogether #TousEnsemble pic.twitter.com/qyt3BpiotI

A tribute to Nova Scotia

Canadian singer Anne Murray took a moment to speak about the tragic shooting that took place in Portapique, Nova Scotia, last week.

“A week ago, the unthinkable happened, right here in my beloved Nova Scotia,” she said. “To the families, friends and communities of those affected, we want you to know that we are grieving with you and we send prayers for courage and strength as you try to make sense of this horrific tragedy.”

She went on to say, as she thanked healthcare workers across the country: “We as a nation are being put to the test right now as we face the unknown, but we’re facing it together and that’s the way we want to remember this. Here’s a song that’s become an anthem for times like this and one that I’ve actually sung a few times. Here are Voices Rock Medicine, a choir made up entirely of women physicians.”

A message from Canadian athletes

Some of the top performing athletes in the country (and the world) joined forces to share a message of team spirit, unity and perseverance, including tennis player Bianca Andreescu, swimmer Penny Oleksiak, Toronto Raptors Serge Ibaka and Pascal Siakam, soccer player Christine Sinclair, sprinter Andre de Grasse, former hockey player Hayley Wickenheiser and ice skater Tessa Virtue.

“With a focus on physical and mental health, let’s remember to stay in touch, stay strong, stay brave, and stay united,” said Virtue. “Thirty-seven-million strong, this is the most important Team Canada I have ever played on,” said Wickenheiser.

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

Lean On Me

Canadian singers Tyler Shaw and Fefe Dobson, founders of an initiative called ArtistsCAN, brought some of the country’s biggest musicians together for a moving collaborative performance of the late Bill Withers’ “Lean On Me.” Justin Bieber, Michael Bublé, Avril Lavigne, Bryan Adams, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Jann Arden, Sarah McLachlan and others performed the special ensemble piece, proceeds from which will go directly to Red Cross Canada’s COVID-19 relief efforts. Canadians can contribute to the initiative by simply streaming the song, viewing the official music video, or downloading the single.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau closed out the video with a message to the nation, saying: “We’re going to get through this together, by leaning on each other and protecting our frontline workers. Stay home, stay safe.”

.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

Drake

In a move that raised a lot of eyebrows on Twitter, Drake closed out the show, getting the last word after Prime Minister Trudeau. His three-minute-long closing message thanked the artists who had performed for a good cause that evening, the frontline workers and first responders, and those who have to leave their families everyday and go to work amidst this crisis. “They’re the glue holding all this together so thank you very much for that,” he said. He also addressed the mental health challenges that people across the world are facing right now, whether they have been directly affected by coronavirus or not.

“I want to urge everybody that’s in their own space to find the silver lining in the times that we’re living in right now,” he said. “If you have a craft that can be worked on from home, it’s an amazing thing to continue working, keep your mind stimulated, get better at that thing that you’re passionate about. Better yourself mentally, physically, if you can stay active, if you can make a change you’ve always wanted to make in your life, right now is the time. Nurture your personal relationships… or decide which personal connections aren’t for you. Now is a time of self-reflection.”

“I hope we all emerge better people, more unified people, and I hope we are able to show each other the same amount of love we’re showing now.”

[erriikkka]

As I develop my capabilities, I’ve been really a hoarder of movies, Disney films to be exact. Since then, it has always been a part of me to pay attention to these movie pictures that accompanied and innovated me throughout the years. Furthermore, i have abide to tackle the route in reaching my dreams and I have these bundle of films that represents my childhood in which i can relate to. These movies are the reason that at some point in my life, it also happens to me, and there, I see myself in my that particular scene so what are you waiting for? come on and see what’s inside my movie blog!

I. Beauty and the Beast

the 18th-century fairy tale was brought into life.

Beauty and the Beast

Disney has already given us live-action versions of animated films like Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty in recent years but in a way, Beauty and the Beast feels like the riskiest of them all so far, as far as potential backlash is concerned. Beauty and the Beast is still much more recent than those other animated classics, and many can clearly remember growing up during the film’s initial release and explosion in popularity. Starting from editing, the musical, the casting, setting and the whole production staff made everything possible for this film has to be brought into life and its just very alluring, it will never disappoint you. There are numerous scenes from the film that leave me breathless and had me in tears. One of these scenes is when Belle and the Beast had their first date and dance in the tune “Beauty and the Beast” which depicts their love story. Speaking of their lovestory, the story’s fantastical elements made it feel truly “realistic,” these touches the hearts of its viewers especially, the die-hard Disney fans who waited for this time to happen. It was like a time travel from time to time through the use of the music box which plays the life of Belle since she was born. Lastly, it was when Gaston fatally shoots the Beast from a bridge, but it collapses when the castle crumbles, and he falls to his death. The Beast dies as the last petal falls, and the servants become inanimate. As Belle tearfully professes her love to the Beast, the enchantress reveals herself and undoes the curse, repairing the crumbling castle, and restoring the Beast’s and servants’ human forms and the villagers’ memories. The Prince and Belle host a ball for the kingdom, where they dance and lived happily ever after. With that, I could definitely say that i am mesmerized by this film and it has a huge impact in my life. This movie get to be my favorite movie. 10/10

II. Frozen

Frozen.

My happy pill.

  Frozen desalinates the new generation, our generation. Wherein, the youths are being portrayed by Elsa who would always keep a particular secret from everyone for the reason that she’s afraid that the society wont accept her. Within her, i saw myself, i saw how excruciating it is for her to lose her loved ones, i’m not saying that the same thing occurred to me but, even my family’s complete, there’s always that something that’ll be missing.  Since then, this film has been my happy pill and Elsa served as my spirit animal and just like her, I should be continuing what I’ve started and what I want because basically, it’s me, that is me. No one could ever deny the hard fact that these challenges will always come and test us, but we should all believe in ourselves that we can like what Elsa did. She stood up for herself and she even managed to grow into a beautiful rose even if she’s all alone. The reason why i really can’t resist this film is about it’s life lessons that we should always think first before we should do any decisions for it might affect our future.

III. Inside Out

The universe is full of dark matter and black holes, of planets made of diamond and space clouds that smell like raspberries. It is beautiful, terrifying and very, very odd. but none of that wonder holds a Christmas candle to what goes on in the mind of an 11-year-old girl. Take Riley—a fun, goofy, hockey-loving kid from Minnesota. Sure, she might not look all that unusual from the outside. But dive into her gray matter and you’ll see towering shelves full of memories and terrifying forests of broccoli in her subconscious, cloud cities forming in her imagination and elaborate dreams taking shape on the sound stage of her psyche. Above it all, in the control tower, work Riley’s core emotions: Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear. They push buttons and twist knobs and help power Riley through each and every day, making scads of marble-like memories all the while. Most of those marbles are eventually whisked away to long-term memory storage. But a handful stay in the control room. They’re her core memories, moments so critical in Riley’s development that they’ve spawned whole islands of identity. When Joy is sucked out of the control tower, though, it becomes impossible for Riley to do much but sulk and cower and occasionally blow up. And while that’s not good in and of itself, it’s a fantastic depiction of what kids feel when they’re under a lot of stress. When you’re 11 and your whole world has changed, your inner world is shaken, too. And we learn here that our emotions, even ones that might seem, on the surface, “bad,” can help stabilize things. Riley’s parents don’t understand what’s going on with their suddenly sullen daughter, but they want to help. And so they do—through love and patience and understanding. It’s pretty obvious that Mom and Dad are great (though not always perfect) parents, and Riley, eventually, sees them as such. That means Inside Out isn’t content to depict how awful things can get when our lives take a sudden downward turn. No, it also wants to show us how important family can be in the process of picking yourself up and moving on.

IV. Moana

  Princesses come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, though Disney’s latest addition to its ever-growing gallery of empowered female heroines, Moana – The sail of the century. It is a tale of the young daughter of a Polynesian chief who seeks to explore the world beyond her island in the Pacific and save her people in the process. Moana’s father continually asserts that because her role is to be the island’s next leader, she must remain on the island. However, her decision to defy her father’s orders leads to a fulfilling experience. She skillfully incorporates Polynesian culture into its plot, demonstrating its beauty and intricacy while respecting its origins. The film includes the traditional Polynesian legend of Maui, a demigod known for his mischievous personality and contributions to mankind, most notably his creation of the Pacific Islands by pulling up rocks from beneath the ocean. Maui’s character is cleverly utilized to highlight the significance of Moana’s agency as a young woman. Demonstrating his rude personality, Maui constantly doubts Moana’s ability to navigate the ocean and help her people because of her status as the young daughter of a chief. Moana’s continual capacity to prove Maui wrong emphasizes her independence and inherent talents regardless of her social standing or gender. Though Maui and his godly powers contribute to the storyline, Moana’s strength and determination are central to the film’s plot and communicate a stirring message of female empowerment. Patience is the key to happiness, they say, and nearly the entire film embodies that belief. For example, Moana must find enough patience to learn how to sail, patience in Maui who doesn’t trust her at first, and patience throughout her entire journey. During the film we see Moana fail a few times before she finally succeeds, and that added humanity to her character, which a lot of protagonists tend to lack. When a lot of people see this, especially our youth, I think it will help them realize that mistakes are a part of our journey through life, and some things require patience before success. The film will be cheered as many things — an entertaining holiday film, a princess story without the slightest hint of romance, a multicultural addition to the Disney family — but best of all, it’s a sharp attack on helicopter parenting. Unlike most of the young women we meet in fairy tales, Moana has a happy childhood and never wants for anything. Like many middle-class American kids today, she has two wonderful, caring parents who only want what’s best for her. Otherwise, the movie offers positive messages of self-discovery and empowerment. And Moana herself is a great role model, demonstrating perseverance, curiosity, and courage.

V. Coco

They say, Coco is the best movie of Pixar in years, and I totally agrees with it. Most of the scenes in the movie takes place in the Land of the Dead, but the movie never stops overflowing with life. Colors riot and effervesce, Mexican folk-art patterns tease the eye, music and song ride beneath each scene and goose it forward. The movie’s so exuberantly visual that it feels as if you’re sticking your head inside the collective unconscious of an entire culture. Not to mention it’s soundtrack “remember me” which says the whole story and within that, we can all see that many people can relate in this kind of music especially the emotional ones.

Here’s 5 Cities Where Hockey Fans Can Hang Their Skates

Ice hockey is a uniquely regional sport. Whereas most sports enjoy a relatively even distribution of their fans across the country, ice hockey fans are concentrated in just a few cities. Or, more accurately, just one part of the country. The northeastern U.S. (and southeastern Canada) is the epicenter for ice hockey and its biggest fans. The region is home to the Original Six – six teams that comprised the NHL from 1942 to 1967 – and still boasts the best teams, talent, and hockey culture in the country. If youre already sharpening your skates and waxing your hockey stick this year, consider these five cities where youll be right at home with other ice hockey fanatics. Minneapolis, Minnesota Ive already written about why Minneapolis is one of the best cities in the U.S. for snow lovers, but its also one of the best cities around if youre a hockey fan. Maybe the city doesnt enjoy the same fine professional hockey tradition as other cities on this list – the Minnesota Wild play in St. Paul and has only one division championship to their name – but for people who just want to get out on the ice, this Twin City is perfect. The Minneapolis Storm Youth Hockey organization has been around since 1913 and has over 800 players. And when temperatures drop, Minneapolis sports outdoor rinks in 24 parks around the city. Perhaps Minneapolis coolest hockey offering, however, is the annual U.S. Pond Hockey Championships held on Lake Nokomis, smack dab in the middle of the city. Detroit, Michigan What else needs to be said about a city that actually trademarked the name Hockeytown? Okay, it was actually Detroits NHL team, the Red Wings, that trademarked the name, but you get the idea. Detroit loves its hockey – as a member of the Original Six, the team has the most Stanley Cup wins of any American team. Beyond the pros, Detroit provides locals with a slew of skating clubs, youth hockey associations, and adult hockey leagues to choose from. High school ice hockey is huge in Michigan, so even if you cant make it to a Red Wings game, theres always a local team to root for. Chicago, Illinois The Windy City might not be the first place you think when you think ice hockey, but the Chicago Blackhawks are another Original Six team and hockey runs in the citys veins. While the citys other pro teams get a lot of attention, the Hawks recent success has led to a boom in ice hockeys popularity – both professional and amateur. Chicago has worked hard in recent years to secure more high profile hockey events, including last years Frozen Four and this years NHL Draft. The city also sports a strong youth hockey program – the Chicago Steel are the defending junior hockey national champs. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Although Pittsburghs NHL team, the Penguins, was formed during the 1967 NHL Expansion, the citys pro hockey history stretches back more than a century. In fact, some people consider Pittsburgh the birthplace of professional hockey. [...] The post Here’s 5 Cities Where Hockey Fans Can Hang Their Skates appeared first on Homes.com.

Golden State Warriors have the ability to be title contenders to cleveland Cavs

Nearly a complete year after Kyrie Irving nailed the step-back shot over Stephen Curry and Lebron jumped, then wept at successfully achieving ending Cleveland’s championship drought, we’re back where we began.  Actually, back in which the entire basketball world likely to be once the 2016-17 season tipped off on March. 25.

Cavaliers-Players III.  The one which settles everything.

Uh, until the coming year Leonel Campos Jersey?

Inside a boxing context, this is the Thrilla in Manila, where Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier pummeled one another towards the edge and Ali would later express it was the nearest factor he’d ever felt to dying.  The finish from the trilogy.

But regardless of the number of haymaker 3s Curry and Kevin Durant can bury for Golden Condition or even the a large number of body blows which are arrived by James and Irving for Cleveland, who’s likely to say we can’t write it to the calendar for June 2018 - Cavaliers-Players IV.  Then V, Mire and VII.

Who’s likely to stop them? The Celts, Rockets, Raptors, Spurs, Wizards, Clippers or Jazz?  Please.

The Players just sailed with the Western Conference just like a kite on the breeze to some perfect 12- record.  The Cavaliers had that inexplicable Game 3 hiccup against Boston and remained as 12-one in the Eastern Conference.

Inside a plumbing context, the pipes are clogged.

“This may be the finest talent differential, in my experience, in National basketball association history Blue Jays Apparel Canada.”

-Ex-National basketball association coach and current broadcaster Shaun Van Gundy

There has not been 1-2 dominance such as this within the good reputation for the National basketball association. It will likely be the very first time ever the same two teams have met within the Finals 3 years consecutively.

The Ray Bird-Magic Manley competition ushered in the current era from the National basketball association using their clashes within the 1980s using what appeared to become their annual coast-to-coast showdowns within the Finals. However, the celts and Opposing team only went mind-to-mind using the title at risk three occasions car decade. There have been Sixers and Rockets and Pistons that poked their heads in to the picture.

When Jordan required the league in to the stratosphere within the 1990s having a matching group of “three-peats,” his Bulls beat back five different challengers in the West, managing a gauntlet of Hall of Famers that incorporated Magic, Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, Gary Payton, John Stockton and Karl Malone. Within the East, he experienced Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning, all within their prime.

“I think greatness will work for the league,” stated former coach Shaun Van Gundy. “But what’s better for that league is greatness to become challenged. I do not think we’re getting that let's focus on Cleveland and Golden Condition.  The only real roadblock they need to winning a championship is one another.”

It isn't a talent gap, it’s a gorge.  Toronto is originating from the best four-year run in franchise background and needs to consider blowing some misconception to begin throughout simply because they haven’t attracted nearer to the Cavs and, actually, were dismissively taken this year.

“If we'd LeBron on the team, too, we'd have won,” stated Raptors’ DeMar DeRozan nhl merchandise.

But until cloning is perfected, we’re left to ponder when maybe there is somebody to part of and prevent James from extending his streak of reaching The Finals in the current seven consecutively?

James has owned the Eastern Conference in the last decade, eliminating at some point every team in the playoffs except Cleveland, Miami and Orlando.

“I are only able to talk to my very own experience in individuals days when there have been some good teams and great players that didn't win titles due to one man,” stated former point guard Mark Jackson, whose 17-year National basketball association career spanned the Jordan Era.  Jackson’s Knicks and Pacers teams were eliminated four occasions by Jordan’s Bulls within the playoffs.

“I think there are several great teams today, however i have no idea there are as numerous today as in those days,Inches he stated.  “When you consider Stockton and Malone not winning a championship, consider San antonio not winning a championship.  Even that Dallas team returning to Rolando Blackmon, Mark Aguirre,  Derek Harper and Mike Perkins. Which was an excellent team. Within the East we’re speaking about Patrick, Barkley, Indiana, some good Miami Heat teams, Milwaukee with Alvin Robertson.  Man, there have been some loaded teams that couldn’t overcome the hump. And also the hump was Jordan.

“But the factor is, we believed it. You usually believed it, each year. I was close enough to obtain him.  There have been situations having a tipped ball here, a loose ball there, maybe. However in the finish, it’s a credit to his greatness.

“Do other teams today really believe they are able to beat the Cavs and Players?  I am not sure. I do not know.

Therefore the regular season could be about Russell Westbrook and James Harden dueling for triple-doubles, Gregg Popovich ranting at sideline reporters, Blake Griffin trying to not harmed and Charles, Kenny, Shaq and Ernie keeping many of us quite highly entertained.  But it’s like going for a spin class and pedaling to nowhere until Golden Condition-Cleveland take us for any ride in June.

“Look, Jordan still won all individuals years,” Van Gundy stated.  “But it was not like he wasn’t pressed. It was not such as this, a mowing lower. Everyone expects in early models, 1-8 matchup to become easy.  Although not 1-2 or perhaps in Cleveland’s situation 2-1.  To conquer another team on their own home floor by 46 after being up 25 the sport before. Are you currently kidding? Where's this likely to finish?”

Prognosticators and straightforward human biology would appear to state that James needs to slow lower eventually.  But he’s 32, completing his 14th pro season and spitting out opponents such as the back finish of the wood chipper.  Irving is 25.  Kevin Love is 28.  Who are able to you say normally takes them lower in 2017-18?

That Warriors’ side from the bracket is much more lopsided with Curry 29, Durant 28, Eco-friendly 27, Thompson 27.

“This may be the finest talent differential, in my experience, in National basketball association history.  This is where I believe I simply wanted there is a bit more challenging them, particularly the Players,” Van Gundy stated.  “Because basically we possess the huge gap between your top two teams and all of those other league, there's a big gap between 1 and 2, from Golden Condition to Cleveland.  Consider it.  Otherwise for Draymond Green’s punch on LeBron, I do not think anybody doubts they win in five this past year and opting for three consecutively - with Kevin Durant.  It’s absurd.

“The first couple of years, these were lower inside a series or more.  However this differs.  This team is really far better, more gifted, compared to 73-win team due to Durant.  Are you currently saying there’s a method to beat them four occasions if they’re healthy?  I do not view it.Inches

Give Boston anybody you would like using the No. 1 pick within the Draft as well as say Gordon Hayward decides to join the celts in free agency.  Does that place them beyond the Cavaliers?  The Wizards can’t work through the 2nd round.  The Dollars and Sixers have youthful talent, but they are years away.  The Pacers and Pistons have regressed.  The Bulls are stuck within the dirt.

The Jazz make impressive strides in the western world, however must battle to keep Hayward and have plenty of ground to pay for to trap the Players.  The Memphis core is aging, youthful rosters in Denver and Phoenix are greener than St. Paddy’s Day beer, Houston and OKC are circus sideshows with features.  The Opposing team can’t see respectability having a telescope.  The Pelicans are confused.  The Spurs really are a tweaked Kawhi Leonard ankle from not really having the ability to compete.  And you may not wish to bank around the Clippers hockey merchandise?

“We are all aware reality states that certain day James won’t have the ability to perform the things he is doing,Inches Van Gundy stated.  “But we’re going to need to observe that happen before we begin believing it.  Like a coach, he enables you to re-believe that a group ‘can transform it on’ and ‘turn them back.’  We’re simply because this season.  So Cleveland keeps doing what they’re doing.

“Then, let's say I stated the Players are gonna go 7 or 8 straight many years to The Finals?  This is three.  Individuals four core guys are within their 20s.  Is the fact that great for the sport?Inches

It's in June. Until somebody may come along and flush the pipes.

As I have stated before, Marshall will leave searching better simply automatically. Richardson place the ball in Marshall's court also it was the simple -- and proper -- move for Marshall is the bigger person and leave.

However, nobody knows the genesis from the Marshall-Richardson feud, which caused the happy couple to apparently fight within the Jets locker room this past year and snipe backwards and forwards through the season. Inside a recent interview with Newsday, Richardson stated Marshall was the locker room "poster boy," and pointed out "drama queen antics." When requested by Newsday to reply to Richardson's claims the 2009 week, Marshall also required our prime road because he did Thursday.

Richardson appeared upset he was considered the "cancer" within that locker room (his words), while Marshall could escape any blame. There's a high probability Richardson is totally within the suitable for calling out his former teammate.

Digging much deeper in to the fight could give Jets fans a fascinating perspective on which went so wrong this past year and who they ought to truly be pulling for. However with Marshall putting the bickering to sleep for the time being, can we ever know?
