Week 9 Thursday and Sunday Game balls

Week 9 was a very explosive and exciting week of football. It started with a good game in Cincinnati with the Bengals winning 31-10. Johnny Manziel had a very good game even though the Browns lost Manziel showed a lot of promise while he was out there. Manziel went 15/33 for 168 and a passing touchdown. Johnny Football has looked very impressive and explosive when he has opportunities this season. However, my Thursday game ball for Week 9 is Andy Dalton for his officiant passing and his 3 touchdown. Dalton went 21/27 for 234 and those 3 scores. Dalton and the Bengals looked a bit shaky in the first half but roared ahead in the second half scoring 17 unanswered points to take the victory. 

For a very busy Sunday with a ton of scoring all over the place and a very entertaining Shootout Sunday Night Game in Dallas coming down to an overtime period. Delanie Walker went crazy down in the Big Easy with 7 catches for 95 yards and 2 Touchdowns. DeAngelo Williams had 27 carries for 2 scores with also 2 catches for 33 yards and a 2 point conversion. In the same game on the other sideline Derek Carr went 24/44 for 301 and 4 touchdowns in a classic shootout in the Steel City. My game ball though is Jay Cutler for his showing on Monday Night Football. Cutler struggled early on fumbling and throwing a Pick 6. But in the second half Cutler led a 4th quarter comeback and finished 27/40 345 yards and 2 touchdowns.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
