Day 165

Fresh Start_165: The end of Baylor Football
Baylor Football most get the death penalty from the NCAA. I can’t keep seeing the actions of the most recent scandal go without any penalty what so ever. The actions of past players at Baylor now most lead to the dismembering of the program. If that seems harsh, then you haven’t been in the loop with Baylor football.

Countless accounts of sexual harassment and assault have committed by players on the Baylor football team and nothing has been done about. With the ESPN reports revealing all of this last April, the NCAA has done nothing but sit back and twiddle their thumbs. Even with the new evidence of the text messages from head coach Art Briles, the NCAA has been waiting around for too long with the lengthy investigation. Briles needs to help accountable with jail time from hiding evidence of sexual crimes away from the authorities. Even the authorities need to have a good long look in the mirror with their actions of not acting upon the players for committing the crimes.

I will not personally show the text messages because of the subjective content revealed in the texts, but I will link below.
 Art Briles text messages

 I can’t just stand by Baylor football, Art Briles, the Baylor Campus police, and everyone that were on those past Baylor teams. What happen with this program needs to be made an example out of for what not to do when running a team. I just can’t handle Baylor football and plead for the NCAA to make the right decision.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
