PBA Tour

 Today I'm gonna write a different article. I went to a PBA Tour event on Friday, June 6 and I wanted to share what it was like. 

The event was in Bethlehem, PA, at an alley called Steel City Bowl. All the bowlers who were competing in the PBA Tour were there (Andrew Anderson, Jason Belmonte, EJ Tackett, Kyle Troup, Anthony Simonsen, Bill O'Neill, Marshall Kent and Graham Fach) and I got my picture taken with each of them. I've been watching these guys my whole life, so it was so cool. Seeing Belmonte was the greatest of all, as he sent me a video for my birthday. It was amazing finally seeing him in person. It was cool seeing them all in person, but especially Belmo.  

Then I watched them practice. It was awesome watching the guys I have been watching forever bowl live and in person. I had a lot of fun watching them. The first group of bowlers I saw were Kyle Troup, EJ Tackett, Bill O'Neill and Graham Fach. My only issue was the seats. They were uncomfortable and my view wasn't great. I had to stand up for a better view. But I had fun. When Kyle Troup would get a strike, they'd yell "Fruit Salad!" I liked that. Then, Anthony Simonsen, Jason Belmonte, Marshall Kent and Andrew Anderson were up. I was so excited to watch Belmonte bowl. He is my idol and the reason why I bowl. I loved it. After a while, we left after a fun (and busy) night!

Overall I had a lot of fun at the PBA Tour. I would recommend if it's near you, go check it out!

NOTE: The actual PBA Tour happened on Sunday, June 8 and was won by Andrew Anderson.

Aaron Rodgers finally signs with Steelers

 After months of waiting, Aaron Rodgers has finally decided to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team he beat in Super Bowl XLV with the Green Bay Packers 15 years ago. Rodgers left the Packers in 2022 after 18 years and went to the New York Jets, where he spent a rough 2 years, including tearing his Achilles on his first drive with the team. He is now headed to Pittsburgh, where he will likely spend the rest of his career. 

This is an interesting move, mostly because Rodgers is a strange person. He's not a terrible quarterback, but he's definitely not the quarterback he was in 2011. He's old and has dealt with a ton of injuries in his career, including broken collarbones, torn Achilles, fractured feet, sprained ankles. These injuries have impacted his play, as he was clearly not the same last year. The Jets were a laughing stock and Rodgers was the butt of jokes for his poor play, as he went 14 weeks without a 300-yard game. However, he threw for almost 4,000 yards and 28 touchdowns, so there is a glimmer of hope for the Steelers. We'll see what happens.
