ALL of Week 2's Game balls

Very late game balls
*I want to apologize for not getting these game balls out on Friday and Monday morning respectably. School work comes first and I have been very busy as of late. But, I think you can tell due to the fact that I am getting this out to you late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. I will do my best to get the game balls out for their respective games the following morning the best I can but this is a disclaimer if it doesn’t happen in the weeks coming up.*

The Thursday game ball is going to Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitz threw for three hundred sixty- four yards and one touchdown in a dominating offensive performance in Orchard Park last Thursday. This was Fitzpatrick’s first win over a Rex Ryan led team or defense in his last eight starts now improving to 2-8 against Rex. This is a game the Jets desperately needed as falling to 0-2 would not be good in a close division, on top of the fact that the Jets would have given life to a dead Buffalo Bills team. Ryan Fitzpatrick congrats and keep up the great work!
Moving on to Sunday’s games where it gets just a little trickier… Some great games, and not so great games. For example, the Detroit Lions and Tennessee Titans game was a fantastic game to watch as was the Colts and Broncos. The Cardinals and Bucs game or Panthers and 9’ers on the other hand not so much. With that said, I am going to give my game ball to Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Matt Ryan. Mattie Ice was 26/34 for three hundred and ninety-six yards three touchdowns and one lone interception. Ryan had to force the issue in this offensive shootout in Oakland and had a performance that many fantasy football owners would come to like. Not only that but Ryan gives life to a team that many has written off due to the incredible difficulty of their schedule, myself included. Ryan also proven to his haters that he is worth top QB money and can play with the best of them.
Finally, Monday Night Football, which for the second straight week was a snooze fest. This week we had the pleasure of enjoying the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Solider Field to take on the Chicago Bears. The Bears proved that they are a team in disarray with Jay Cutler and John Fox pretty much cementing their spots on other team or retirement next year. The Eagles are still going strong with rookie Carson Weintz in at quarterback. The second overall selection is this past April’s draft has looked good for a kid from a Double A school. Without further ado my Week 2 Monday Night Football goes to Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Ron Brooks. Brooks led the team in tackles, with five, and also forced one of the two fumbles that further secured the victory. Hopefully next week we will have a better football game in New Orleans with the Saints and the Falcons but I am not expecting much.

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
