In Friday's paper, there were a couple of interesting articles on the front page.  The first article that caught my attention was about how a lot of college courses are being streamed online instead of the traditional get up and go to class.  I think this new idea is an awful idea. As much as I would love to watch my lectures from my dorm room, it takes away from the college experience.  A lot of the people I have become friends with have been from class. If you take class online, you never meet any of your classmates. I also feel that not a lot of students would concentrate as much with classes online.  I mean, not a lot of them concentrate now, but this would make it worse.  It makes sense for non-traditional students but for traditional undergraduates, I think they should stick to keeping class the normal way.

In the Sports Section, there was an article about how the Patriots are getting rid of star power and are getting back to the humble team who is used to winning Superbowls.  With the recent departure of Randy Moss, a great deal of people were skeptical as to whether these Patriots had what it takes to bring another Lombardi trophy home to New England. Despite having the best record in the NFL, the Patriots are still some-what under the radar and still have a great deal to prove, in their view. With these new young players, they are able to build another championship team and now have a veteran in Tom Brady.  Back when they won the championships, they were led by veteran linebackers.
