This post is about the New Orleans Saints and their great run in the playoffs. The Saints started off 0-2 and then woke up started to win games. At one time the Saints had an 8 game winning streak. The Saints earned themselves a spot in the playoffs. They had to play Cam Newton and the Panthers of Carolina. If they won they would play the Minnesota Vikings who had a first round bye. The game was challenging but the saints won. The Minnesota Vikings had the best defense in the NFL. The Saints had a top five offense that could compete with the defense. The game did not start out well for the saints. We were down 17 at half and the vikings were dominating on both sides of the ball.

The third quarter came and the saints woke up and started to compete. The rookie receiver Michael Thomas scored the first touchdown. The score was now 17-7. Now at the top of the fourth the saints scored again. The next possession the vikings kicked a field goal. The score was now 14-20. The game went on ad with 3:01 left the saints scored a touchdown. The next was a field goal by the vikings and then a field goal by the saints. The score was now 24-23 saints. The saints had to get one more stop to win the game and then with ten seconds left the vikings threw a 61 yard touchdown pass. The game was over and the saints were knocked out of the playoffs. It was an amazing run with a young team which means there is a lot more to come.

    The last play was very shocking and sad after our great season. But I agree that we are a young team and have a great few years ahead of us.

    The game was very intense and I loved all of it. But when the Saints lost I was filled with disbelief as I had thought we were going to win.

    Great topic and post. This game also scared me at the end, and broke my heart.

Author: Brian Schwartz The article I read was about the senate race in Florida between Rick Scott and Bill Nelson. This race is supposed to be the most expensive senate race ever. In this case money matters and both candidates have plenty of money because they are both receiving so many donations. The reason Scott has so many money is because he was apart of a group based in Southern Florida. This was a political action committee. They have already raised 1.7 million and he had a huge donation of $250,000 from a supportive group. Nelson could win because he has a bank of his own. His campaign had raised 10 million through the early months of 2018 and also have an extra 8 million on the side. A popular bank named Regions has given him $114,000. The downside was his background when he was a CEO of a healthcare company. He defrauded taxpayers and was asked to step down and leave the company. In the investigation they found nothing and did not charge him with anything. Title: Big m

On November 25, 2017, the last weekend of the college football regular season was here. This was considered rivalry weekend. Alabama was playing the mighty Tigers of Auburn. Also, the LSU Tigers were playing the Aggies of Texas A&M. The Aggies were not a talented team but also had a very annoying fan base. The Wisconsin Badgers were ranked number five and were not in the college football playoff rankings.  The Badgers had a perfect season with no losses. The number four and three teams had one loss. The Auburn and Alabama game was a close first half. The second half was favored by Auburn. In a tough game, Auburn handed the Crimson Tide their first loss. Meanwhile, the LSU Tigers won against the Aggies and was not a close game. This was a good day because the Tigers won and the Crimson Tide lost.

There are two shows I am watching on Netflix right now. Both of them have to do with a crisis that has happened to them. One has happened to the world and another just happened to a large group. There are leaders that have expressed  their ideas and plans to get through the problems. For example Jack is the main character of the show Lost. His plane has crashed on an island and he is the doctor. He makes almost all of the decisions but also listens to others. Also there is a down side to being a leader or chief. If there is a decision that a person doesn't like or a big group doesn't like, people will start to revolt . When people revolt decisions, things get complicated and nasty. An example in the other show, the Walking Dead, when people revolt they are either left or injured/killed.
