Day 123

Fresh Start_123: The weekend TV guide
I will enjoy this weekend with family and my comfortable couch because I will not have to do much to get some incredible games from both the NFL and the NBA on Christmas day. Starting at Noon EST and ending at about 11:30 EST or so I will have a selection of games you almost never get any time of year. With Christmas falling on Sunday this year the NBA had a tough scheduling predicament to make sure they get the highest ratings they could for their annual Christmas day games. Usually the best game of the day is around 5:30 EST that way the most amount of eyeballs can be in a given household to watch the “Prime-Time game” at 5:30. Instead this year, the Finals rematch of Golden State and Cleveland is on at 2:30 EST which provides a perfect Segway to a crucial divisional matchup between the Steelers and Ravens. After that, you get another divisional battle for a playoff spot with Denver and Kansas City playing at 8:30. If you aren’t completely satisfied with sports you can turn on Lakers and Clippers after the Sunday Night game for the NFL gets over, but with all the excitement, family time, and food I doubt many people from the East Coast will be up to watch that game.

I was curious how the NBA would finagle the schedule around to fit in the NFL’s Week 16 matchups. Christmas day is always and will always belong to the NBA in the sports world, and it is nice that the NFL has setup two hopefully good games. The best games of the days don’t conflict with each other and that makes it easy on the person controlling the remote on Christmas day. So, may Santa Claus bring you what you ask for, drink some egg nog, and kick back and watch some great basketball and football games on Sunday. Merry Christmas everyone!

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...
