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.

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...
