Day 21

Fresh Start_21: Out with the old in with the new
With the news of Mike Tirico leaving ESPN to go to NBC and continue his career, ESPN had to look for a viable replacement that will fill the job that is one of the most popular jobs in sports. Mike Tirico has been the voice of Monday Night Football for years, and for many, the only voice of Monday Night Football they have ever heard.
It is an important position, and what ESPN needs the next voice of their main program that keeps them afloat. With thousands of commentators who have impressive rèsumes’ the company had their work cut out for you. Monday Night Football is without a doubt the main program that keeps ESPN above the rest of the pack, it has to be a relevant voice. They had to turn to Sean McDonough who has worked college football games in the past. McDonough has also announced Monday Night Baseball for ESPN. McDonough can hold his own and does not call a bad game, but he will be scrutinized every word that comes out of his mouth. McDonough who is a Syracuse graduate and has called thousands of games in the past, will have his future determined in the next couple of weeks. He has to be a likable guy or he will be out the door faster than Chris Johnson runs a forty-yard dash. What a game for McDonough to call in his for game in the nation’s capital. We will see the chemistry that John Gruden and Sean McDonough have conjured up in the limited time that they have been together. I will be watching tonight on ESPN at 8PM EST.

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...
