1. I did enjoy writing a blog. This was my first time ever blogging and I enjoyed it because I was able to share my opinion with others and talk about something that I wanted to talk about.
2. I probably will not continue blogging. The reason being is that I do not have time to sit down and blog for fun. However, if I am passionate about something and I really want to share my opinion and have the time then I will blog.
3. I liked that we were able to choose our own topic on our blogging. I did not like how much we blogged though. I feel like we did a lot of blogging. This is probably because I have never blogged before so I was not used to it. Overall, I enjoyed it for the most part.
4. Blogging is a great way to tell stories. I feel like blogging is the best way to tell stories because you openly get to express your ideas and thoughts.
5. I liked how open this class was regarding everyones opinions and respecting each others thoughts and ideas. There really wasn't one specific thing that I did not like about the class. Overall, I would recommend taking this class and was happy that I did.
6. I wish I knew how to blog and have some blogging experience before taking this class so I could have been better prepared.

Shorter Chargers blog
Antonio Gates has been a mentor to wide receiver Kennan Allen since the start. Gates says he really likes him as a player on and off the field and looks at him as a leader. That is saying a lot considering Gates is the captain of the team. Allen just signed a 4 years contract to stay with the Chargers. This is great news for the Chargers considering Allen is one of the top wide receivers in the game right now. He is expected to put up big numbers this year and is also expected to become a team leader and hopefully a captain one day. Others players even say that Allen is a great man on and off the field and they all look up to him. Allen says he is very humbled and honored to be able to be looked at as a leader on the team. The Chargers need more players like Allen in order to help their team to win and have more structure. Allen also talked about how he has encouraged other players on the Chargers to take a leadership role.
Allen also talks about how he has unfinished business. He mentions that with the new contract signing that he needs to step up his game to show his team and also himself that he is worthy of all of the money that he received in his new contract. He says this is a big year for him and he can't wait for the new season.

Final Week Blog Post!! Talking to sources
This week in my research and in my blogging I spoke to two different sources whom I have been keeping in contact with. My first source is James Shukurt, who is a sports analysis for the Chargers. We spoke over the phone regarding the Chargers off season and what we can expect for the upcoming season. He told me a lot of great information about the Chargers and a lot of things that all us Chargers fans should expect for the upcoming season regarding players, uniforms and coaching. James said, "We have a big season a head of us and the Chargers are doing everything the can to prepare for a successful season. There have been many players position changes along with new team and coaching changes."
My other source was from a local fan named Brad Smith. He was born and raised in San diego and has been a fan for his entire life. Brad, just like me, is a die hard Charger fan who expects the Chargers to have a great season where we can win our division and make it to the playoffs this year. Brad says, "The Chargers need to make some changes obviously, which I hear they are doing in regards to their players and coaches. I just hope we can have a winning season this year." Brad has a lot of good information regarding the Chargers and is excited for the season just like me.
Just a little bit of an update regarding the Chargers top players. Mike McKoy (head coach) talks about the updates about Danny Woodhead, Joey Bosa and more. McKoy explains how Joey Bosa is sure to be a huge impact for the San Diego Chargers this year. They are expecting a lot from him and they can't wait to see how he performs on the field.
On other news, Melvin Gordan closes out mini camp on a high note. Melvin Gordan did not have a good season last year even with being the first pick for the Chargers draft. However, this year he is expected to do big things for the Chargers running game. The Chargers really need some play makers in their running game and need Gordan to step up to the plate and make some touchdowns.

Evaluating the Defensive Line
This blog post, Evaluating the Defensive Line written by Ricky Henne is all about what is currently happening within the San Diego Chargers defensive line. the Chargers previously in their season have had a pretty good defensive line. They have strong and physical players that know how to play the game. This year they have a new addition to their defensive line and his name is Joey Bosa who was the Chargers first pick of the draft along with the second pick of the entire NFL draft. Joey Bosa is bound to have a outstanding season but it all comes down to how he adapts to the NFL lifestyle and playing hard.
Evaluating the Running Backs!
This blog is also published by lead blogger of Chargers.com, Ricky Henne. This blog is primary about the evaluation of the running backs for the Chargers. If you are a Chargers fan then you know that the Chargers really struggle with having a good running game. Their running back have been terrible since superstar L.T. Now it is time for a running back to take the role that has been lost for many years. Melvin Gordon was suppose to take that role, however, he had a bad first season last year. He admitted it and told his coaches that he will improve with hard work and practice. Melvin Gordon is expected to have a great season especially because he now has something to prove to his fans, coaches and himself.
Chargers Blog!!! (Evaluating the Cornerbacks)
In this weeks blog, Evaluating the Cornerbacks written by Ricky Henne, he discussed many new and exciting things regarding the changes the Chargers are making in their roster in room for improvements regarding their cornerbacks. Casey Hayward is a new addition to the San Diego Chargers and they are welcoming him with respect due to his great performances in college football. However, he is in a whole new game and has to take ownership of that responsibility. Brandon Flowers the other cornerback on the Chargers has a lot of experience in the NFL and with the San Diego Chargers. He is a veteran player among the Chargers and is the first string inside corner. Flowers has a lot to teach Hayward about playing professional corner for the Chargers and what it takes to do his job and do it well. Many other corner are fighting their way to make the roster and get noticed on the practice field. However, these two players seems to be getting all the attention currently due to their hard work and leadership. A lot can happen in these next couple of weeks and it is up to them to decide if they want to get playing time or be sent home. Flowers mentions that he has a lot of improving to do and his actions meet nowhere where his potential and standards are. He wants to be the best player he can be to help his team win.

7th blog post
I enjoy blogging to be honest. I believe that it is important to express your thoughts and ideas to everyone and comment on each others thoughts and blogs. I have never blogged before so this has been a great experience for myself.
I did indeed enjoy writing my blogs because I spoke about a topic that I like and am interested in.
I doubt that I continue to keep blogging after this class because I do not have the time. However, if I find something that I am really passionate about I will indeed write a blog about the subject. And if I choose to keep blogging I will use the Beat Blogger.
Blogging is a great way to tell stories. It is your own special way in order to express your ideas and share your thoughts. I honestly think it is the best way in order for people to tell stories.
Some things that I did like about this class was that we got to choose what we talked about and blogged about. I also liked how easy Blogger is to use. It was not a complicated blog spot to use which I expected it to be at first. One thing that I did not like about this class was that I was just not that into and interested in blogging, which is just a personal thing and has nothing against the class.
Before taking this class I wish I had blogged before. I wish I had gained some blogging skills before taking this class so I could be a better blogger but I have learned so much from this class.
