Day 31

Fresh Start_31: An Answer to question never asked
As we are getting ready for Week 3 NFL fans around the country are having a huge mix bag of feelings. If you are in New England it is a calm sense of panic. I don’t think you can’t panic after Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a sprained AC Joint in this right shoulder. I personally know how uncomfortable the injury is—having the same injury in my left shoulder during swim season early in the year. Garoppolo says that he can’t move his right shoulder due to the injury and the Patriots camp want Garoppolo to play through the injury because Brady has played through the injury on multiple occasions. This move is not like the New England Patriots and shows that even the team in New England is human and panic with a rookie quarterback with four days to prepare for a stout defense. Julian Edelman has taken snaps under center this week which is not that surprising due to the fact that Edelman played quarterback in college. It will be interesting to see if Edelman takes snaps under center and see if he has any pass attempts. As of now Jacoby Brissett is the starting quarterback for the Patriots.
Bill Belichick has to be at least sweating under the cutoff hoody for this week against the Houston Texans and J.J. Watt licking his lips at the idea of facing a third string quarterback who has drafted in the third round this past April. You I don’t think you should bet against the Patriots in any week because of Belichick because he might just be the best coach in the history of the league. But this week it has to be nice for fans that don’t route for the Patriots to see that the evil empire has a little down fall for at least one week. It has to be curious how much talent Brissett has when the Pats almost lost against Miami in a close seven-point win. As a Jet fan I am overjoyed not for the injury of Garoppolo but for the downfall to happen. It was enviable and was going to happen at some point when Brady retired, but this is a nice look ahead for a Jet fan. I am disappointed that the Jets don’t play New England at any point during the Brady suspension. I am intrigued to see what the master game plan for the Pats and see if the defense can stop Lamar Miller and DeAndre Hopkins, and if the offense of course can score points and win the game. If Brissett plays well it will truly be a work of God and will for sure start up the conspiracy theorists in the NFL fan bases. Be sure to watch on CBS, the NFL mobile app, or on Twitter at 8:30PM EST tonight!

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
