Day 112

Fresh Start_112: Dial it back
Everyone calling for Tony Romo to comeback and start for the Cowboys stop it! Prescott is a rookie quarterback that has seemed like a rookie quarterback until the past 2 weeks. There are learning curves for every QB in this league and it takes time for quarterbacks sometimes to adjust. Other times, like Dak for example, take the league by storm, and towards the end of the season tapper off to be average.

Prescott so far has had an above average season for being a 4th round rookie quarterback, exceeding any expectations that the Cowboys or the league had for him. Prescott has thrown for 3,139 yards, 20 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions with a 65.8% completion percentage. The amazing offensive line that fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott is running behind can only save Prescott for so long. With the weather being a factor, the Dallas receivers couldn’t get open as fast, making Prescott hold the ball for longer and take sacks. There is no question that Prescott is talented and will be a good solid NFL quarterback for a couple of years, but let’s not forget that last night was Prescott’s 13th career game. The angry mob calling for his head after one bad loss, would’ve been doing the same thing if Romo was under center last night.

The Cowboys are in an interesting dilemma at the QB position but a late year benching of Dak Prescott will not solve anything. Let the young man learn because the Cowboys still have the underhand in the division and have already clinched a playoff spot. Also, let’s not forget that this team has the best record in the NFL barring any late year disasters. Prescott and the Cowboys have Tampa Bay, Detroit, and Philly to round out the year, with the next two games being at home. The way I see it, the Cowboys will wind up 13-3 winning the NFC East and clinching home field for the playoffs. These are exciting times to be a Cowboy fan so don’t cause yourself extra stress by calling for the head of the quarterback that got you to where you are now. For heaven’s sake, Prescott might end up with the offensive rookie of year at the end of the season anyway, so do like Aaron Rodgers and R-E-L-A-X. Losing to any division opponent is hard, especially at the end of the year, but this time it’s not the end of the world.

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...
