N.F.L early season surprises, sports commentary


Three games into the 2015 N.F.L. season, who would've expected the Arizona Cardinals to be leading the NFC western division, see the Oakland Raiders @2-1, while the Baltimore Ravens are 0-3. Is it possible that the once proud franchises are possibly starting to resurrect from countless years of losing, especially in the case of the Oakland Raiders. The Oakland Raiders, once the NFL's winningest franchise, had fallen on hard times during the previous 12 seasons, with a record of
56-136, with only two 8-8 records in 2010,2011, for a franchise once used to winning.

It seems lately, regardless of sport, that the once lowly teams of sports are starting to make  a  complete turn around. During the past N.B.A season, very few sports writers really expected the Golden State Warriors, of all teams, to end up winning the N.B.A title in 2015, ending a 40 year drought since their previous championship in 1975.

In baseball, the Chicago Cubs have made the playoffs for the first time since 2008. The once noticeable difference this season for the Cubs, has been that the players really believe in themselves.
The Toronto Blue Jays are another club that have seemingly turn their hard luck ways around, are on the verge of winning the AL East title, for the first time since 1993, the last year they won the world series.

It's exciting seeing sports franchises do well in all major sports, especially those who had been the laughing stock of their respective sport. Hopefully this trend will continue, who knows, maybe even the Chicago Cubs can finally put an end to their curse, winning a world series for the first time since 1908.

It used to be, you could see which times would do well during the course of a sports season, which ones wouldn't. With all the changes in sports, I certainly hope it never becomes to expensive for the fans to attend the games.
