Fitzing in
So with the NFL offseason wrapping up soon the New York Jets are finalizing the team for 2016 going into OTA’s. Meanwhile the Jets yet have another Quarterback controversy (what’s new) for 2016. With Geno Smith, Bryce Petty, and Christan Hackenburg all under contract as of today are the Quarterbacks are going into a season which is absolutely crucial to the New York Jets. With a dominate defense who are not getting any younger along with aging superstar receivers in Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker. Geno has had multiple chances in the NFL and shows time and time again that he just can’t play in the bigger, faster, stronger NFL. Bryce Petty has been groomed in the Jets system but has yet to even throw a pass in the league. Finally, this year’s second round draft pick Christan Hackenburg who is if you look at the numbers is the college version of Geno Smith, and no not the college Geno, the pro version of Geno Smith. Hackenburg in his three-year college career has a completion percentage of 56.1% with 48 touchdowns and 31 interceptions and 6.8 yards per attempt. Geno in his first three years in the pros has 57.9% completion percentage with 27 touchdowns and 37 interceptions and 27.5 yards per attempt. I do not see how Hackenburg can be the answer in New York with the problem not existing at the end of January. What the Jets need to do is re-sign Ryan Fitzpatrick and contend to win a title as long as he is under contract. Fitzpatrick could be a Carson Palmer or Philip Rivers level quarterback with the weapons that he has at his disposal.
But, and there is but with the Jets, this is one of the worst off-season’s for the Jets in recent memory and it has nothing to do with the personal that they have signed. What I am talking about is the signings of Brock Osweiler and Chase Daniel. Osweiler signed a four-year seventy two million dollars contract with thirty seven million guaranteed, with Daniel inks a three year deal worth twenty one million dollar’s worth up to fifthteen million guaranteed. That damaged the Jets because of the season that Fitzpatrick had in 2015. Fitz broke the Jets franchise record for touchdowns, and threw over one thousand yards to both Marshall and Decker. Even though the Jets missed the playoffs by one game with the final week loss to Buffalo; this team is a borderline playoff team and one of the most improved teams going into 2016. If the Jets sign Ryan Fitzpatrick they will win the AFC East and have a strong chance to win the conference championship and contend for Superbowl Fifty one.

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...
