Elise's Point of View on Sports

It's here! It's the best month of the year for men's college basketball. Every year never fails to disappoint with some of the most exciting Cinderella upsets.

Kapernick had a rough season for the Niners but I have still been a fan of his. He led his team to a Super Bowl w...
