2016 Week 3 Thursday Game ball

Week 3 Thursday Game ball
BOY WAS I WRONG! I thought the Houston Texans would come out and play inspired football and come out flying all over the field. The Houston Texans laid a huge goose egg last night in Foxborough last night. Brock Osweiler showed me that John Elway was 100% correct about Osweiler and how good of a QB he was. To me, Osweiler doesn’t look like he can throw the ball that hard and get the ball into needed tight windows. Some of the footballs that Brock Osweiler were throwing last night looked like balloons. The weapons are there for Osweiler which is an incredible blessing to have in the second or third best wide receiver in the game in DeAndre Hopkins. Bill O’Brian needs to figure a scheme on both offense and defense. Especially defense because of an embarrassment of a loss to a third string quarterback in Jacoby Brissett.  Jacoby Brissett didn’t look that great last night he only had 11/19 for only 103 yards and no touchdowns last night. Brissett did have eight rushes for forty-eight yards and a touchdown. LaGarrette Blount ran last night like he had a fire blazing underneath while also looking like he could run through a MAC truck. Blount ran twenty-four times for one hundred and five yards with two touchdowns. With all of that fantasy wizardry by Blount he doesn’t get my game ball this week.
I understand that I will get a huge amount of hate in my pick this week but I am giving the game ball to Patriots punter Ryan Allen. YES, that’s right I am giving my game ball to a punter. Throughout the first two and a half weeks of the season, I have noticed the great punts from punters throughout the league. Not only that, but the importance of how a sixty-yard punt could switch the momentum of a game. Allen had seven punts last night and six of those seven punts landed inside the twenty-yard line. That is so incredibly important in how the game ended up playing last night. The Texans didn’t play a down on the New England side of the field until the third quarter. The way the game played out due to the punter and the way he impacted the game. I never thought I would give my game ball to a punter, and I honestly believe the value of the punter is grossly underrated. So this blog has now become an equal opportunity lender for a game ball. Good job Ryan Allen for showing me the value of a punter and how special teams can dictate a win in the NFL.

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...
