2016 Week 14 Thursday and Sunday game balls

Week 14 Thursday and Sunday Game balls
Really interesting weekend of football. From Stafford willing the Lions to yet another comeback win, to Le’Veon Bell torching the Bills in the snow, the Titans keeping their postseason hopes alive, and even Bryce Petty and the Jets having a comeback Overtime win. The Giants and Cowboys played a very sloppy game with the Giants pulling a 10-7 win out of nowhere.

Thursday Night was an odd football game. The Thursday Nighters have been for the entire season, but with the Raiders losing to the Chiefs in freezing temperatures it raises some eyebrows. The 2nd seed in the AFC now has some red flags that the weak AFC now has film of moving into the playoffs. I still believe that the Raiders can challenge the Patriots in a potential AFC Championship game, but I do have my concerns. Derek Carr didn’t look like himself at all, and showed that even a hopeful MVP candidate has some trouble in the cold. The Raiders defense did play well causing 2 turnovers but the Chiefs showed up and made the “experts” but into the Chiefs way of playing football. My Thursday game ball is Tyreek Hill for single handedly beat Oakland. I don’t like Hill as a person and I don’t know anyone who would, but he is an incredible football. Hill had 6 receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown. Hill also delivered the knockout punch the 78-yard punt return on a re-kick.

I would be committing a crime if I didn’t have Le’Veon Bell as my Sunday Game ball. Bell in the snow in Buffalo had 298 combined yards with 3 rushing touchdowns. Bell made the Bills defense look like a Division II defense. It was a snow game but Bell looked like he was playing a game in San Diego in the middle of October. Bell keeps the Steelers hopes alive for the playoffs in the AFC and makes Pittsburgh a legit dark horse to get to the Superbowl with the way the offense played. Hopefully tonight can exceed the craziness that happened yesterday. We will see; don’t miss the Ravens and Patriots tonight at 8:30EST on ESPN.

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...
