Day 86

Fresh Start_86: With the first pick in the 2016 NFL draft…
It’s about dam time. Jared Goff is finally starting in the NFL and it only took 10 weeks. The stigma around the number one overall pick in the 2016 draft was that he couldn’t play on this level. The fans were chanting his name two weeks ago in the coliseum and Goff never got to see the field. After a week where the offense never got into the endzone, Jeff Fisher’s hand is finally forced and the rook is up. Goff is stepping into a game against Dolphins where they need to win to stay alive in the playoff race. Even with 3 wins, the Rams are still in the playoff picture somehow, they just need to keep winning, and the Rams are hoping the winning ways fall into the right hand of Jared Goff. Goff will have to do better than 9 touchdowns,11 interceptions, and 2,169 passing yards collected by Keenum this season under center for the Rams.

From his college days at California, he drives up the interstate to L.A. to play for the Rams. In Goff’s senior season, he for 3,508 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions which isn’t too bad considering the offensive line that he had playing for the Golden Bears. Goff will hold the second longest streak of any #1 overall pick to get into a game(quarterbacks). The previous record was held by the biggest bust in NFL history JaMarcus Russell. The Ram faithful are hopeful that the “Golden Boy” will be the future for the Rams and become the franchise quarterback that Los Angeles thought he would be. The Dolphins defense is 24th against the pass so Goff with the weapons he has on offense should have a nice debut for the home crowd in the coliseum. I will be keeping an eye on the number one pick for sure this Sunday, and I am predicting 250 yards passing and 2 touchdowns.

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...
