Day 168

Fresh Start_168: Brady is the Greatest
Tom Brady is the best quarterback ever. I said it before and now it’s official, Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game of football. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach ever, and the Patriots are one of the best franchises in sports. Brady had 466 yards, 2 touchdowns, and the Super Bowl MVP. Brady now has 5 rings and 4 Super Bowl MVP’s (which are both NFL records).

The game wasn’t played how I expected, and there were moments in the game that will be remembered just like in every Super Bowl, but wow. The Julian Edelman catch, which is one of the greatest catches I have ever seen—one of the best catches in Super Bowl history. James White with the game clinching touchdown running the ball in from 2-yards out. The defense held off the best offense in the league, and held Julio Jones under 100 yards (4 catches for 87 yards). An unsung hero New England Patriots defensive end Trey Flowers, who had 2.5 sacks—the key sack pushing Matt Ryan and the Falcons to the brink of field goal range before the offensive holding penalty push Atlanta into a punting situation.

Hats off to the great ones on the New England sideline, but Atlanta will have their chance. The Falcons had a 25-point lead at one point in the game, and had a crushing fall to lose the game in overtime. With a pick six and the half time show, Matt Ryan and the Falcons looked out of sink in the second half, and were just not the same team on both sides of the ball. The Patriots had a huge lead in time of possession, almost doubled Atlanta’s ToP. The experience of the New England sideline was ultimately what won the Patriots the game. The Pats never blinked and looked into the face of the challenge and excepted it.

Even with Brady looking his age in the 1st half, he trusted his coach, the team that was put around him, and himself to put themselves in a position to win the game. From the first play of the second half on, the Patriots just outplayed the Falcons.

Now the Falcons played a good 30 minutes of football and the youth and inexperience of the Falcons was too much, showing on a couple drives late in the game. The Falcons are young, they have a good defense that can fly all over the field, if not great quarterback, and one of the best head coaches in the NFL. Sit back and let this all sink in, and enjoy your food coma—also don’t forget to call in sick tomorrow.

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...
