Aaron Rodgers didn’t lie, but what he did was worse
Earlier this month, the news broke that the Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers had not only contracted COVID-19, but that he was also not vaccinated against the virus. This took many people, both Packers fans and not, by complete surprise.

Finding fitness: Spin, sculpt and stretch class
Last week, I had a meeting with my peer leader to talk about how I was adjusting to NSU.

Dolphins sit 1-7 after eight games
After eight weeks in the NFL season, the Miami Dolphins sit 1-7. After a 10-6 season where new players showed promise, this rough start is surprising to say the least. After starting multiple rookies last season, those rookies were expected to take leaps forward and it just hasn’t happened yet. Disappointing performances from their free agent signings are to blame, as well. […]

On the bench: Let Aaron Rodgers leave
I may not keep up with everything going on during football season, but one occurrence that I’ve taken note of this season is the tensions rising between the Green Bay Packers and their star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
