I look at the story about Stan Van Gundy agreeing to a multiyear deal to be the new coach of Orleans Pelicans.
I went into his record for his overall coaching of the 11 season he has been in the league. Showing how the teams Gundy has coach to be in the top half of the league in defense.
Overall, I don’t really like to story it is very boring with not having any routes from the new head coach. The writer also did not get much information from the front office that hired him saying why he was the best choice to coach their young group of players.

I decided to watch the Mustang Grill people work tonight to see how crazy it could be in there at night. When I got there at 7pm the crew look like a bunch of rats scrambling around the kitchen trying to complete orders. One of them looking like the boss made movements like a robot putting up boxes on shelves for the pizza boxes. She was also barking out like people who were coming up to the counter to put their mask on even though most of the people eating I n their where not wearing masks at the table which was making a lot of the people mad at her not following her order.
The person on the grill was moving like a chicken with his head cut off running back a fourth from the grill to the freezer. While the other one was calling out names like one of those automatic phone calls. Saying out those names ever few seconds if people did not get their food.
Leaving the final one who was having conversation with everyone while they were working asking if they need help with anything while they were busy working. He was taking order making sure the orders where either taking down if they were done or putting them up if they were one of the newer ones. He also looks like one of those sue chefs who was always cutting of the produce making sure that they were always stock up on it. He also looking like one of those unlimited chocolate fountains when he was refilling out all the condiments.

Reading about the story about Conor McGregor accepting the fight in Jan. 23 to fight Dustin Poirier very interesting. McGregor Accepting this fight because Dustin Poirer is a south paw like Pacquiao.
McGregor wants to fight Pacquiao in the boxing ring after he fought Mayweather and lost in the 10th round in a TKO. After this fight McGregor is hoping to fight Pacquiao for a good sum of money with a little of it going to Charity.
Overall this story is well written with a little good quotes put into to make the story go better. I would want to have more content of why he wants to fight in boxing so much when he is a MMA fighter.

I like the article bout about how Patrick Mahomes was talking about having a mental slip up. For coming close to Stephon Gilmore who tested positive for Covid the day after the game.
This article is not really that news worthy for people who are not really fans of Patrick Mahomes. It is really for people who are wondering what might be going on in the NFL. With this news article being one of the big ones because Mahomes wife Is expecting their first child. If he by chance gets it from this altercation he could affect his home life plus his football.
Over all I like this article in general with good quotes on how Mahomes is dealing with this altercation. Only thing I would really life for this article would to be to give more information on what is the next step in helping preventing other players for doing the same thing.

With the COVID-19 outbreak the Men’s Volleyball team is wondering if they are going to have a season this year. Head Coach for the Men’s Volleyball team Theison Anderson said, “We are still uncertain if our season is even going to happen because what is happening during the women’s season.”
Leaving the Men’s Team uncertain off when the season starts. Men’s Volleyball up to this point is waiting on GPAC commissioner approval of even having a season this summer. Talking to Tommy Looper, a senior, of the Men’s Volleyball team said, “ I was thinking about staying at Morningside for one more year and use my COVID year this year, but without even knowing if there is going to be a season I’m just going to graduate this fall and go back home”.
When talking to Head Coach Anderson about this he said, “I’m just going to have to get kids to come in the summer.”
With this Theison Anderson also said, “it has been hard to recruit assistant coaches to fill out the new coaching staff. Leading into who can drive cars for the trips when we go out of town. Not many people on the coaching staff want to go out of town because of COVID.”
Making the first-year coach look into more expensive options of travel in case the coach staff does not fill out by the time season starts for the Men’s Volleyball team.
It has been hard on the Men’s volleyball coach to bring in new recruit’s because many of them are afraid of catching COVID-19 by coming to the school. Talking to Jacob Campa, a freshman, of the Men’s Volleyball team, he said, “It sucks for the program because with having a new coach its hard on him to bring in kids for the team”.
Which is understandable since the Men’s Coach is in his first year here a Morningside. There is hope though that the men’s season might start up because of how the woman’s season is going.
Theison Anderson said, “With how the woman’s season going as it is. I was finally able to get the school to let you guys come back in January for preseason”.
The school was hesitating about letting the Men’s Volleyball Team back on campus early because the COVID outbreak. While also, trying to figure out how to cover the Men’s Volleyball team with food because during the break the contract with the food people does not apply during the break. It was able to get done though thanks to the woman’s season going by so well right now with not many teams backing out due to COVID.
During the practices new guidelines are going to be put into place to help stop the spread of COVID. During warmups people are required to wear a mask but, are allowed to take them off when we are about to start practice. With these new guidelines Coaches have to wear masks through the whole practice time.
If all goes according to plan the GPAC commissioner should be releasing a statement about how the Men’s volleyball season should go. Theison Anderson said, “we are all just waiting on the commissioner statement. When we get the ok from him that when the stress of knowing the season is a go will go away.”

The Story on ESPN about the Las Vegas Raiders players slipping up and not wearing masks at an event caught my attention this week. The NFL has been cracking down on people who are not wearing masks on the field or off the field at events.
Earlier this week the coach of the Raiders was fined $100,000 for not wearing his masks on the sideline correctly. They were also fined for having unauthorized personal in their locker room after the Sept 21st game. Making this event even that more interesting to read about.
The story in general was ok it used a lot of quotes from the players that were involved stating they were sorry. While they were also trying to back up themselves of why they took the masks off at the event. I can’t really can’t complain about this article because it is really written well. Also liking the transition from each piece of information that make it go together really well.

Steven Postolka a Morningside Alumni who graduated in 2011 gave us an interesting interview on how he became interested in law. He started off by going into why he likes law stating “ I choose law because I like how I can be intellectual while also being able to help people out in need of my services”.
Postolka is currently is working for the Sioux City where he represents the city when a court cases goes against them. With Postolka being a Litigator Postolka expresses that “95% of the litigators work happens outside the court room”. Where they have to look into what the case is about while, also getting more information of why the city is getting sued. With Covid 19 work has been slow for Postolka. Postolka is one of the lucky few who have a set wage to where not matter how long he works he will be getting paid that amount. Compared to his other job where he was getting $250 an hour to do the job or take on a case.
One of the hardest things to deal with in Postolka line of work was that “he had to work with certain clients who were just hard to get along with or were not realistic about what they want out of the court case”. Making it much harder on Postolka to close out a court case until both parties are satisfied with what they are getting. Giving in site on how lawyers have to work out with other lawyers to make a deal happen so both parties can be happy. Where the outcome of the case benefits both parties that are in it.

Finding the news report about a doctor puncturing quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s lung to be very interesting to read about. This happen just before kickoff on Sunday.
The team doctor was trying to administer a pain-killing injection to the quarterback cracked ribs area when he made a mistake and punctured Tyrod Taylor’s lung. The injury was not life threatening but it did bring up a investigation from the NFL Players Association.
This story was just interesting to read. The details in the ESPN report made me want to keep reading it. The reporter gave a lot of good quotes from the coach and one from the player that was injured because of the doctor. Giving you in-site of how they both are taking it. The only thing I wish he did was give a little more information about the doctor who did the administration of the pain-killer.

NCAA men’s and women’s college basketball season can start November 25. This story by Jeff Borzello is very interesting because he lays it out very nicely with a bunch of quotes from different higher up from the NCAA basketball office.
It makes the quality of the story that more interesting on why the NCAA decided on this start date. While also give details on how they are hoping this start date can be better from players safety and health.
The only thing I don’t like about this article is that he does not give a perspective on what the coaches might be thinking about only have conference games. While also, not give a view of how the students might be feeling with everything that is going on in the world like protesting and Covid.
