Day 111

Fresh Start_111: Sports Netflix
Has the way we watched football changed? I’m not talking about the way we look at a particular play, but the way we watch a whole game. I didn’t watch the Jets game today, partially because I was in the car coming back up to school before a snow storm—but the other reason is because the Jet game wasn’t on CBS when I got back to school. I know the rule of thumb about being in a teams’ home market with it not being a sellout, but can that change? The NFL has a deal with the tv stations that broadcast the games to blackout the none sell outs, but is there a possibly an app can change that.

My grandmother and I today were talking about the possibility for a while, but I honestly don’t know if it could happen. For a college student who loves sports like myself; an app that has all the games on it would be perfect. I compare it to how game changing the Sunday Ticket was when it first game out. The app that allows you to basically be your Netflix for sports would be revolutionary in the sports media market and for the chord cutters.

The linguistics of getting all of the licensing for the major sports leagues would be tricky and probably take years to get approved, but it would make the way you watch tv completely different. This would open the flood gates for apps that will allow you to pick the channels you want instead of just your shows. Netflix and Hulu will be fine and only get better. So this, while being a wish, is also a call to action to make this app. I would ask that you include me in any way possible. This app would be comparable to what Apple did to the music industry. This app is a billion-dollar idea, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

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...
