Sunday Game ball and is America's Team for real? Plus Sunday recap and Monday Preview

It's almost playoff time everyone we only have 2 more weeks of football. Playoff races are hot and teams like Cincinnati secured a spot in the playoffs. America's Team had a big divisional battle in Philly last night and it seemed like a playoff game. That game might have decided the NFC East because Dallas is now 10-4 and 3-2 in the Division and got revenge against the Birds from Philly. The Cowboys were 8-8 for the past 2 seasons and a reason is my Game ball for Sunday, Dez Bryant. Bryant who is arguably the best receiver in the game. Dez had 3 TD's and 114 yards on only 6 catches. Besides the officiant play Bryant led the attack with DeMarco Murray to give Dallas the overall lead in the NFC East. I think Dallas will win the division and the are for real but at the end of the day I don't think Romo can win a playoff game yet. Johnny Football was anything but money against the Bengals. Manziel was 10/18 for 80 yards and 2 picks. The 22nd Overall pick from this last years draft has a long road to climb to reach an elite category. Manziel reminds me of a young Doug Flutie. The defending Champs eliminated their rival the 49er's from playoff contention. The Ravens stay relevant in the jam packed AFC North as they barely survived a scare against the Jags. The Jets almost gave up a second "Miracle in the Music City". The Titans are probably the worst team in the league but they won't get the 1st pick.
Tonight Drew Brees looks to try to save a horrible season against the worst defense in the league in Chicago. Da Bears are banged up but none the less the weather might decide the game along with the running games for both teams. Both teams will have a good pick in this years draft but this game should mean something at this point in the season.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
