Day 78

Fresh Start_78: What in the World
What the hell is going on in the NFL right now. The NFL clearly missed a call before halftime last night with the flag on Richard Sherman for an off-sides penalty. The flag should have been a roughing the kicker for Sherman barreling into Dan Carpenter and almost injuring him on the play.

Not only did the refs mess up on that play, they made Buffalo take a delay of game which made them back up five yards. Rex Ryan was clearly and rightfully so upset and giving the refs in Seattle an earful. The NFL would later admit that the refs on the field got the call wrong. Richard Sherman told ESPN “I didn’t hear the whistle, and I play until the whistle. I was just trying to go for the ball.” Even if that was so, the refs should have gotten the call right the first time.

It seems like the NFL has one of these types of calls each and every week. Each and every week the viewership drops. I have said that with the Jets not in the playoff race and having a bye week this week, I don’t know how much more football I will be watching this season. It’s incredible how the NFL, coming off a great season of football, can adapt and become this Dumpster fire of a league and adding lighter fluid to the already existing fire for organization part of the NFL. I just don’t know what to do with this league, it should be extremely interesting to see what happens.

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...
