8. Article Samples
Cross Country: On the very last day of October, the men’s team
was able to take home the MAAC Championship for the 25th
straight time in their remarkable history. The men flat out
dominated on the day, topping out at a perfect score of 15 and
finishing the race light years ahead of second place Marist. The
team received a boost from basically everyone who participated,
with the first seven finishers all being members of Iona College.
The winner of the race was graduate student Michael O’Dowd,
whose final line read at 23:44.3.
Description: wrote and published
articles for the sports section of Iona
College’s newspaper, “The Ionian.”
Majority of articles were written
about the men’s baseball team and
the men’s water polo team.
Baseball: This positive attitude has kept the Gaels afloat
in recent weeks, allowing them to take five of their past
seven games coming off the heels of the long losing
streak. Although the team has hit several bumps in the
road on the way to their overall 7-20 record (3-4 in the
MAAC) there is still plenty of ball left to play in this
NCAA season. And this recent hot streak is definitely a
push in the right direction. Said Stafford, “I believe we'll
keep winning games as long as we maintain the mindset
we have.”
9. Description: A blog designed for the
new era of baseball fans, while still

date news and information across
the Major Leagues, analysis of
teams and offseason moves/trades,
and on overall great read if you
consider yourself a baseball fan or
someone interested in the sport.

10. Description: Wrote a 35 page
research paper, attempting to prove
if the NFL unfairly targets the New
England Patriots in an outlandish
effort to create media attention and
publicity. Also deeply analyzed the
“Deflategate” scandal which
featured Patriots’ quarterback Tom
Brady being put on trial for
supposedly cheating during the AFC
Championship game. Paper includes
clear sources and a breakdown of
various issues across the National
Football League.
Samples from Research Paper
The Patriots are seen as a team loaded with controversy, primarily in the last ten to
fifteen years. Coincidentally, this is also the same time frame in which New England can
be considered the best team in the sport, having won four Super Bowls since 2000. But
recent scandals such as “Spygate” and “Deflategate” have led to the team being embroiled
in tumultuous accusations. This has made them the target of ESPN, but while the
Patriots are certainly worthy of this coverage, they’re the only team that ESPN puts this
much effort into covering.
“We destroyed the tapes five months ago because I felt it was important for everyone to
follow my instructions and I did not want those tapes to be out there” (Cimini). This is an
incredibly vague statement as Goodell offered no real reason for destroying the tapes.
Senator Specter was immediately dissatisfied with Goodell’s decision to destroy the
videoed evidence, leading to him publishing his own report on the matter. It was in this
report that Senator Specter had claimed that the NFL may have been guilty of creating a
“cover-up” for the Spygate situation (O’Keefe – New York Daily News). Specter claimed
that the NFL’s investigation into Spygate was “fatally flawed” and that New England had
been filming and cheating for years.
What began to progress afterwards was a series of confusing reports and many people
labeling the Deflategate controversy as being ridiculous and completely overblown.
Nevertheless, this was the story leading up to the Super Bowl, in fact it basically became
a bigger story then the Super Bowl itself. Chip Scoggins, writer for the Star-Tribune, was
particularly angered by this which he made clear in his article “Isn’t it about time to get
pumped up for the game?” Scoggins writes that the situation was laughable and he makes
an excellent point when he compares Deflategate to other NFL scandals, “This isn't Ray
Rice punching out his wife in an elevator, or the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal
from a few years ago. This latest "gate" just seems minor compared to some of the other
troubling stories we've witnessed around the league in recent years (Scoggins – Star
Tribune).”

coaches on Long Island to provide a

achievements if applicable.
