Day 167

Fresh Start_167: Super Bowl 51 pick
I don’t normally do this, but I am putting out my Super Bowl pick in the Fresh Start of the day. My pick for the Super Bowl is the New England Patriots. Even with my hatred of the Pats, I recognize that the Patriots are extremely good and have the best quarterback to ever play. Tom Brady will play his best game ever in the playoffs. This hurts me being a Jet fan, most likely seeing the New England Patriots win yet another Super Bowl, but this is a team that is just better than the Falcons. Brady is just better than anything the Falcons can throw at him.
Super Bowl pick

The Patriots are better on special teams and defense which comes up huge in the Super Bowl, and for a Falcons team who has never been to a Super Bowl—they are going to have their work cut out for them against one of the best coaches to every do it. Going to the Super Bowl is old news in New England, so while familiarity breeds contentment; the Patriots are anything but content. Their mission is to have Roger Goodell hand them the Lombardi Trophy after a season where in the minds of New Englanders “the commissioner tried to end the Pats.”

I will lay the 3 points to the Falcons because historically the best offense in the Super Bowl loses in the big game. The saying “defense wins’ championships” is always true, and the Patriots have the better defense in this game. Yes, the Falcons have the leading sack leader this year in Vic Beasley but the quarterback on the other side of the field is just the best. Trust me, I’m a Jets fan I know how good Tom Brady is. Throughout my life I can’t count how many times Tom Brady have screwed over the Jets. Somewhere on the internet is just a montage of Tom Brady driving down the field against the Jets with less than 2 minutes to go. The Patriots are the example of winning culture and as much as I don’t like them, you have to give props were they are due. The Falcons had a good season, and they might have the same opportunity next year, this is just the chance that Brady has to prove to everyone that he is the greatest. I’d like to be wrong, but I don’t think I will be.

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...
