2016 Week 3 Monday game ball

Week 3 Monday night game
In a game in a giant shadow of the debate it was hard to watch. This game was also the ten-year anniversary of the first game back from Hurricane Katrina. The game itself wasn’t that interesting which seems to be the theme for the Monday night games this year. Hopefully things will put up with the Vikings and Giants in Minnesota. Getting back to the Saints and Falcons, it wasn’t what I thought would happen. I thought the Falcons would win, but not as convincing or as boring. Julio Jones didn’t have a good game at all—with only one catch for sixteen yards. Matt Ryan who was on fire last week, only had two hundred and forty yards with two touchdowns. Brees on the other hand threw the ball fifty-four times for three hundred and seventy-six yards with three touchdowns and interception. The Saints struggles mightily in the second half as Atlanta coasted to the W.
My game ball this week is going to defense, and the outside linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons Deion Jones who had eight tackles which lead the game for both sides and had the nail in the coffin with a ninety-yard pick six that sent Saints fans in the Superdome packing. The Saints and Falcons are not good teams and will not make the playoffs. The Falcons are at the top of the division but with the difficulty of schedule—which I have pointed out is immensely difficult. Week 3 is official over and let’s see what Week 4 has in store for us…

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
