Day 37

Fresh Start_37: Tebow Time
If you haven’t heard by now, Tim Tebow played his first game of organized baseball since his high school days. Tebow didn’t just make an impact he made his mark in the game. His first pitch, first at-bat Tebow hit a homerun to left center. This like everything else in Tebow’s athletic career. This is up there with the playoff win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, or the National Championship when he was at the University of Florida.
This is unlike Michael Jordan when he quit basketball to play baseball. Tebow had no career in the NFL and was doing he doing really well on the SEC Network. Now I will not blow this out of proportion because it is Single A baseball, and it is only one game. It is a nice story and whether or not a twenty-nine-year-old will make it past Single A ball. It is highly unlike that Tebow will make it to the Major Leagues or even make it to Triple A. What I like about it is, it adds to the Hollywood story that is Tim Tebow, while also qualifying him for the Most Interesting Man in the World. Tebow is no doubt one of the most interesting personalities that go by the way side do to his athletic resume. We all know about the Heisman Trophy and the National Championship, as well as the long throwing motion, and the NFL Network special. The Playoff win and read option phenonium was fun for a while, and seeing the success of a college football superstar. The Jets signing was where it all went wrong. As a Jet fan I didn’t like the signing or understand it. I would say it was the Jets and the locker room at the time was the reason Tebow’s NFL career came to an end. Yes, his throwing motion and accuracy where a huge component in the NFL teams determining that he won’t play. The spotlight that Tebow has been so used to for his whole life, got too bright in the Big Apple and made everything else in his NFL career spiral out of control. I am happy for Tebow and am interested to see how far he will go.

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...
