Tiger Woods' Best Strategy to win the 2020 Masters

June 29, 2020

Tiger Woods at the 2019 Masters The PGA tour has just returned 3 weeks ago being the second American sport after UFC to make a return after the coronavirus pandemic. Since the start of golf a few golfers have tested positive for coronavirus including Dylan Fratelli and Cam Champ. In addition to players testing positive a few caddys have tested positive as well including Brooks Koepkas caddy, Ricky Elliot. Caddy's are right there with the golfers on the course as well as off the course. I believe that cases will continue to rise exponentially as the tournaments continue to go on. Now onto the big cat, other than the Match, Tiger Woods has not played competitive golf since the 3 month hiatus. With that hiatus, the PGA tour had to reschedule the entire season including major events like the US Open, PGA Championship and the Masters. As most know, Golfers are remembered by how many majors they win rather than how many overall wins they have. How can Tiger position himself best to win

What Ever Happened To Johnny Manziel?

June 16, 2020

Manziel and Females Johnny Manziel a.k.a. Johnny Football saw one of the fastest rises to the top for any athlete in any sport. He was the first college freshman to win the Heisman Award in 2012. He dominated in college with his scrappy play and big arm. He was great on the field, but arguably better off the field. He dominated the party scene with his boys as well as celebrities like Scott Disick, Justin Bieber, Floyd Mayweather and Drake to name a few. Johnny Manziel and Future Odell Beckham, Drake, Johnny Manziel His professional career was short lived and full of immature decisions on his end. He made some attempts at playing in the CFL but that did not pan out for him as well. For me, a fan of Manziel I wondered, where is he at now? He recently did a podcast with the boys at Subpar that was posted on Youtube where he reveals a lot about his past and where he is at now in life. Watch the video ( Here ). He pretty much said he's been playing an insane amount of golf and focusin

Social Media Sentiment Analysis of Blackout Tuesday

June 03, 2020

Mural of George Floyd The murdering of George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin is a social issue in America that is being protested across the world. There have been peaceful protests in all 50 states across America for days. Protestors chanted, "no justice, no peace", "I cant breathe" and "Say his name". Those same chants used in protests are also three of the most popular hashtags used across social media sites when addressing this issue. What started as a peaceful protest in some cases has turned extremely violent and resulted in many arrests and stores being looted. People are angry and want to lash out in every way at what happened. This being the first large protest/riot in the world during the Social Media era, people used the power of social media to emphasize the magnitude of the unrest over this issue. This Tuesday, June 2nd, was deemed blackout Tuesday. All across socials people vowed to not post their normal content but decided to

Why Im Skeptical of PGA Tour 2k21

May 14, 2020

PGA Tour 2K21 2k announced they are releasing a new golf game titled PGA Tour 2K21 on May 6th. The release was a surprise to most and created some hype around the idea of a new golf game. What many may not know about this game is that the same developers at HB studios, have been making golf games for the past couple of years as the golf club franchise. This franchise won the PGA tour rights from EA after the Rory game in 2016. My take on the Golf Club 2019 is that it stinks, really bad. In comparison to the EA games, the swing mechanics look terrible, there is no character, and it is way too hard. I have a harder time playing the golf club than I do playing golf in real life. The whole time playing the game it felt like the developers never actually played golf. Its more of a course creating video game where you can also test out the courses. There is no real clubs, clothes, or swings that any real golfer would have. I think that the game play in GTA golf is better than the go

Athlete/Rappers You didn't know About

May 09, 2020

Athlete/Rappers Most Viewed Songs You Never Heard There is no denying that athletes want to be rappers and rappers want to be athletes. Back in the day athletes like Deion Sanders and Shaq dabbled in rap which was seen as goofy at the time. But as technology has made recording and creating music easier, more athletes have joined in on the fun. Whether you think that is a good thing or a bad thing is up to you. Here is a list of what I thought was the most notable athlete rapper attempts by some household athlete names ranking from worst to best in my opinion. Delonte West - KFC Freestyle Delonte West has hit some very low lows recently as he was spotted homeless late 2019 looking very cracked out. In this video I'm guessing is his beginning of that stage in his life where he was making terrible decisions. Spitting "bars" in a KFC parking lot about KFC. The rap makes no sense and his speech is barley understandable. Very on brand for the late Delonte West thoug

Current Trends in Mobile Marketing Location - Register your business/product with Google so you can appear on maps searches as well as google searches on mobile. Location data on apps is key for sending users push notifications and send out promo codes to encourage a sale that may not have happened otherwise. Apps - businesses making apps is great for collecting user data. It is also a good way to increase revenue with rewards systems. An example of this would be the Starbucks app. On their app you can load money on to the app and you get stars for each purchase. After a certain amount of stars you are eligible for a free menu item. Location data is used here.
