Thursday, Sunday, and Monday Game balls

Long crazy week of football. It started in Jacksonville Florida with another ugly color rush game. Tennessee couldn't really get anything on offense through out the whole game. "Super Mario" Marcus Mariota did everything he could with two hundred and thirty one yards passing and was 22/35 while twenty nine yards on the ground with the Titans only touchdown. The Titans most recent top pick has been everything that Tennessee needs for the future, the Titans just need to get some weapons around him. The Jaguars first round pick in last years draft Blake Bortles had another good week and keeps growing into a very nice NFL Quarterback. However it was a second year player on the defense Aaron Colvin who made the biggest difference in the game and is my Thursday game ball. Colvin was tied for the second most tackles with seven and he had a huge sack on Mariota. Colvin is a defensive back and showed that he has some game guarding the Titans Dorial Green-Beckham pretty much the whole game and holding him to forty yards on only three receptions.
Sunday it was all about my game ball, "Famous Jameis" Jameis Winston. Winston who has been criticized ever since his National Championship and Heisman Trophy season. Winston had impressive college career and his team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been hounded for picking him first in this past years NFL draft. Winston proved everyone wrong on Sunday with his performance in Philadelphia. Winston was 19/29 for two hundred and forty six yards and five touchdowns in a 45-17 pounding. This is a good growing point for the young Winston let's see if he can continue next week on the road in Indianapolis against the Colts.
The Monday Night Brawl between familiar foes Rex Ryan and Bill Belichick in New England. Tom Brady had another surgical type performance against Rex Ryan's defense. Brady had two hundred and seventy seven yards and was 20/39. Tyrod Taylor was impressive as he led the Bills offense pretty well against a hostel crowd and a tough defense. LeSean "Shady" McCoy ran all over the Pats as he had eighty two yards on the ground with Buffalo's only touchdown. Whoever a no-name running back James White had forty six all-purpose yards with two touchdowns and was the difference in this game. White, like Dion Lewis came out of the blue and produced on Prime-Time in a big game.

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
