2016 Week 16 game balls

Saturday, Sunday and Monday Week 16 Game balls
This weekend was the last true stressful of football from a fans perspective. The playoffs are set in both conferences. There were some excellent performances from a ton of players in the league. Saturday was the main day of football this week because Sunday was Christmas, and the NFL had to give way to the NBA. So I have a special Saturday edition game ball.

I will give that game ball to Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers for a tremendous game against the division rival Minnesota Vikings. Rodgers has had a lack luster season, but shown up big time on Saturday. A-Rod went 28/38 for 347 and 4 touchdowns. In a last effort to save the Packers season, but it didn’t matter in the end. After an MVP season, Rodgers disappointed a ton of people with his injury riddled season of 2016. The Packers will not be making the playoffs, but at least Rodgers gets my special game ball.

My Sunday game ball came in a winning effort and a playoff clinching effort. My Sunday game ball goes to Pittsburgh Steelers Running back Le’Veon Bell. Bell had a true work horse day on Sunday, giving everything he had in. Bell not only had 122 on 20 carries and a touchdown. He also chipped in with 3 receptions for 15 yards and another score. Bell is arguably the best running back in the league and he has made his chase in 2016, even with the 4 game suspension at the beginning of the year.

Lastly, my Week 16 Monday night game ball. This was a close game early on, but there was too much Dallas in the end. Dez Bryant actually showed up and played like a number one Pro-Bowl receiver last night. Bryant had for catches for 70 big yards and 2 touchdowns. He also threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Dak Prescott. The Cowboys had a lot of fun last night, and it shows in the kind of outing that Bryant had last night. I am interested to see what kind of performances are produced next week, due to the fact that it is a meaningless week out football.

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...
