Day 93

Fresh Start­_93: The Golden Knights of Hockey are over
Really… the Golden Knights? The Las Vegas Golden Knights are the newest franchise in the NHL. The 31st team in the National Hockey League resides in Vegas and will be named the Golden Knights. Now, the logo may be subject to change based on how similar to the Army Knights logo, the Spartan Race logo, and Call of Duty streamer Nick Merks logo.

This idea was fouled from the beginning and I cannot believe that a team is being based out of Las Vegas. In a city that everything stays in, brings challenges to the sports world that nobody two years ago thought would exist. The NFL has toyed with idea of bringing a team to the city and when they see the dumpster fire that will be the Golden Knights, the NFL will stay away from Vegas. The distractions that the glitz and glamor of Vegas brings to the Golden Knights and opposing players every single day of the season.

The fans will just be gambling degenerates and bookies that have ungodly amounts of money on the games. The NHL is going to cut their losses at some point for this pick, because this will be the biggest mistake in sports history. With other markets like Seattle, Toronto, Hartford, and Vancouver all looking for teams and attractable markets that would have suited the NHL and the younger fan base more than the current city that the Golden Knights are housed.

This whole movement to Vegas seems rushed, just like a drunk Vegas wedding. The move was fast and unprepared and I don’t think the NHL is aware of what they have done, and quite frankly fell asleep at the wheel. This team gives the NHL an odd number of teams and have no expansion partner and will screw the worst team in the NHL by automatically getting the number 1 overall pick the next year’s draft. They will most likely host an All-Star game in the near future and that will be the biggest event in this franchises history.

The Las Vegas Golden Knights will fail and I will go all in on this team failing and it will have the same hangover that an NFL team has after the Superbowl. This team will be a great disappointment and will cost the NHL millions and the league will have to take a real hard look at themselves when they think about expanding again. This team will collapse just like the Nassau Coliseum is currently doing in Long Island. This just will not work period end of story.

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...
