Daryn

Hi my name is Daryn Arel and I'm from South Windsor, Connecticut. I have worked for Panera Bread and Rita's Italian Ice. In this class I hope to learn about how to use word, power point and excel. I want to be able to make interesting power point shows so I can impress my teachers and peers. Also, being efficient with excel will help me in the business world. Its a great program to organize data and represent data in charts and graphs. One of my favorite hobbies is watching sports and following certain players. I am a huge Washington redskin fan and LA Clipper fan BEFORE they received Chris Paul. I am not a fan wagon. My parents are divorced and one younger brother who is disgusting at basketball.

I have a dog who's name is Teddy and he's the man. If I am not watching sports then I am most likely working on my car. Its a 2003 Honda Accord and its my pride and joy. I love that car and never want to damage it. I am a freshmen at Nichols College and majoring in Sports Management. I hope to one day be a general manager or a sports agent for college prospects.

The blog I chose is the sports economist. I found it to be interesting because it talks about recent issues in sports. For example, the rule changes in overtime in the NFL and how its going to effect the game and future rules of the NFL. I also found his post about Sam Hurd was interesting and was a very unique situation. Sam Hurd was busted in Chicago with pounds of cocaine and other highly illegal drugs.It turns out he was a top drug dealer in Chicago and police seized a list of NFL player. A story like this rare and doesnt come around often. I mean how often does a professional athlete become a top drug dealer in the city he lives in.

  1. I also enjoyed the segment on the new rule in the NFL, although I did not agree with every thing they said. I do like how the rule is that they flip the coin to make it fair for each team to get a first chance at scoring and winning the game. He says that this does not give the opposing team the a chance to score and win the game. But I think that the team has the same opportunity t win the game even if they are not receiving first. For example this weekend neither the giants of saints scored on there opening drive. I think that we will have to wait until next season to determine on whether or not rule is fair or not to both teams.
