Day 91

Fresh Start_91: What the hell is going on out there!?
What is wrong with the Green Bay Packers? The Packers have the raining NFL MVP in Aaron Rodgers they don’t look like a team that has any idea what is going on or how to play football. The culture in Green Bay might need an overhaul moving forward. The Packers now have four straight games and they have got out played in each and every game in one facet of the game or another. From the offensive play calling to the defense blowing coverages and even Mike McCarthy looking like a first year head coach. This is a team that not too long ago won a Superbowl. This team was a playoff team a year ago and made it to the divisional round.

In a league that is pass driven as ever before, and with a top tier quarterback the Packers on paper look like they have the ability to succeed. But with the lack of a running back the team has gone to the dumpster. The Packers have 3 rushing touchdowns and they are all by Aaron Rodgers. No running back has a rushing touchdown for the Packers this season. Now the injury bug has bitten the running back position worse than any other group of players or team in the NFL. In a division where the division crown is wide open and if you play a little more than adequate, the division in most years is yours. With the fourth straight loss opens the door to the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers are nothing short of terrible this season, and their season, safe to say, is over. This team needs to change the entire coaching staff and get a significant player overhaul to match the play making ability of their quarterback. Their offensive play calling is nothing short of a jumbled mess that a fourth grader conceived during recess. The stop & go routes that Jordy Nelson and Randell Cobb have been running for the entire season just don’t work anymore. If the Packers don’t stop what they are doing, they will make Aaron Rodgers look like Andrew Luck i.e. a human punching bag. The offensive line can’t hold blocks for that long and Aaron Rodgers can’t keep scrambling around and avoiding tackles like he is.

Rodgers looks completely lost at times, and it might not be his fault. A quarterback of his caliber has an idea of what coverages look like and understand how to beat that said coverage. He stares at his receivers after a miss communication on a pass, like a parent who is disappointed with their child’s actions. Rodgers looks to the sidelines like he should be calling the plays and they should just give him the head coaching job and call the plays. It’s code red in Green Bay and hopefully for the NFL they will figure it out next season.

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...
