Improving
I thought my story about the improving of the Lions was my best blog for the whole year because it had more detail than any other of my blogs. I also thought this was my best because it was a topic that I felt I understood more and was more confident in writing about. Being a true Lions fan helped me to connect to this story even more. I thought that this post was the story that made me realize that blogging does not have to be just about school, but can also be used as a tool to express what you are interested in. I think this blog best shows how you can be very informational and at the same time enjoy what you have created. In the end I think I did a good job in describing how the moves the Lions made ultimately made the team better.

March Madness
I believe this blog is my best blog post because it is about March Madness, which I know a lot about and enjoy. I have always had a passion for basketball and this allows me to show it even though I might not be the best player. This is why I chose to write about this topic. I love the idea of trying to predict teams and thinking you know a lot when it is all luck. My best work is presented in this blog post in the way I analyzed the topic and get into it showing my passion and knowledge for it. Also, this blog go the most amount of page views than my other ones which I believe shows my effort and thought put into this blog. I hope this blog gets you more interested and excited for March Madness because it is the greatest sports tournament that college and the NCAA has to offer.

Orioles 2014- Analyzing the Roster
I felt that my best post was the one I wrote detailing the Baltimore Orioles' hitters for 2014 that I did at the end of March. I feel that this was my best post because I supported my arguments well with lots of statistical evidence. This post took me a lot of time to write, as I did a lot of research on the various players discussed in the post. It was also one of the easier ones for me to write, as I find it much easier to write about something that I’m passionate about. Another very good thing about this post in my opinion was that many of the predictions I made in it have proven to be rather accurate over the course of the season. Even though this post did not generate much discussion, I felt that it was well written and really representative of my best work.

Overcoming the Challenge
Throughout the second half of the year I learned a very important skill, blogging. I enjoyed learning the different techniques it takes to produce a good blog and have people view it. My favorite blog post I did this year was, Overcoming the Challenge. It was a personal experience of mine that really made me take a different perspective on life and how to achieve things that I feel strongly about. It was a huge change in my life and what I had to go through was something only people who have experienced it would understand. I wouldn’t take back the obstacle I faced because it made me a stronger person, and made me realize that if you set your mind to things anything is possible. This is also an example of my best post since it was a strong topic for me, so it was easy to write a strong post. Hope you enjoy.

Super Bowl Predictions and Analysis
Of all my blogs this year, I think that my blog on predictions of the Superbowl, was my best. Although it was not that lengthy, I feel that I could have written on and on forever. There were so many possible outcomes for the Superbowl, and I wish I had listed them all. As I stated in my blog, this match up was much anticipated in that it was the number one defensive team against the number one offensive team. However, I eventually picked the number one offensive team, in the Denver Broncos, to win, which was completely wrong, as the Seattle Seahawks blew them out. Although the final outcome of the game conflicted my predictions completely, I thought that the comments on my post sparked some interesting thoughts. In addition, I was surprised that everyone agreed with my pick. I guess I wasn't the only one who was wrong!

What Manchester United and the New York Yankees Have in Common
I believe my best post was a comparison between Manchester United and the New York Yankees that I published at the end of April. I believe this was my best post because I made an analogy between two very different sports, yet the comparison was a great one. It showcased deep analysis on my part, and an ability to think on another level. Another reason I feel that this was a great post is that I have not heard this comparison made before, yet it fell together like a jigsaw puzzle in my mind. The words really flowed onto the page as I wrote it because I felt confident in my opinion, and I found it easy to write because I was excited to see the feedback. The comments on this post were all positive, and completely agreed that this was a great comparison. I liked that this post showed off my knowledge of two sports whose fanbases don’t often overlap, and illustrated the diversity of my sports knowledge.
