Have you ever had to cheer against your own team while you were watching a game one Sunday? Not because you liked the other team, but because maybe you had the opposing team's starting quarterback in your fantasy lineup? Maybe you have found yourself cheering for your team, but having to be cautious because your team's starting running back is playing against you that week in your fantasy league. 

Myles, from 60Days2Living joined me again to dive into a topic that I truly believe gets overlooked. Fantasy Sports can have an impact on the "true" sports fan when we don't even realize. Are fantasy sports good or bad for real sports? That's our discussion for you this week so listen in and let us know what you think!

Sports have made a major impact in my life, this podcast is a product of that. When I see the future of sports changing it makes me sad because I'm a true fan of both my country and sports. Now though, it seems we are at the beginning stages of a division among the two.

The recent NFL Protests have stirred up quite a bit of discussion in the past week. While they have been occurring for the past year, it didn't get too much attention until President Trump's speech in Alabama late last week. Players have chosen to fire back and it is having a major impact on the sports world.

This week I'll give you my take on the matter as I try to find a common ground. Which owners handled the situation appropriately? Can we take a page out of the college football playbook? (They don't come out for the National Anthem).

I want to also go through some of the great things these protesting athletes have done to help their communities. Some things the media doesn't necessarily portray.

Sports preach unity, teamwork, "togetherness," discipline, etc. My goal is to help us move forward rather than continue to fight with one another. Let's work to understand one another. Let's work to see the good in people, whether that's the President of the United States or the athletes that have protested.

Let's work to find a SOLUTION!! Sometimes a solution means both sides will have to give a little bit, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

Listen to my take, on the recent events in the sporting world.

Boise State Rap: True Fans

- A little "rap" / "jingle" I put together in my final year at Boise State regarding the Boise State fan base. 

During the Boise State home opener against Troy, I realized that something was happening to my body. I was either getting old, or I simply didn't prepare for the season as I normally do. As a fan, there are a few things that you must do to be able to contribute to the team's success for the length of the entire season.

Make sure you listen as I discuss different things to take into consideration as a fan:

-Weather

-Screaming

-Standing Up

-Away Games

I'll help you prevent making the same mistakes that I did by going through some experiences that I've had and helping you understand what it takes to be a true fan.
