Day 180

Fresh Start_180: Just an angry Jet fan
With the NBA in the middle of their All-Star Break and listening to the radio this week, I have to say this to all of my Jet fans. The Jets cannot sign Kirk Cousins, or draft DeShaun Watson with the 6th overall pick. The Jets have more dyer issues than worrying too much about the quarterback situation.

 The Jets have Petty and should sign Mike Glennon as the backup just in case DeShaun Watson isn’t there in the second round. Watson is clearly the second best QB in the draft but the Jets don’t have to push the envelope with drafting him. The secondary is the biggest problem for the Jets and needs to be addressed.

 Marshon Lattimore from Ohio State needs to be the first draft pick for the Jets. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it, that has to be the pick. Especially with what has happened to Darrelle Revis this past weekend. The Jets are most likely going to part ways with Revis, and that means the secondary is even more of a concern heading into 2017. The offense will get healthy and using Petty as the number one QB heading into draft night will allow new offensive coordinator John Morton become more comfortable with his new job.

The Jets can maybe, maybe tank in 2017 and go for quarterback Josh Rosen from UCLA in the 2018 draft. That is a possibility, but the job security of both Bowles and Maccagnan have be to be safe for this to happen, it is only far to those two guys. Brandon Marshall shouldn’t be released or traded, nor should Mangold, or anyone else for that matter—besides the obvious with Revis.

The Jets were not a good football team in 2016 and I attribute that to the injuries that plagued the team. If the Jets were healthy the outcome of the season would have been completely different. I’m not saying the Jets would have gone to the Super Bowl, but they could’ve challenged making the playoffs. Having a ton of injuries on both sides of the football isn’t an easy thing to manage—while you sprinkle the amount of talent that was lost to those injuries.

 I don’t think Fitzpatrick would be starting at the end of the season, but I cannot throw the book at Bryce Petty just yet. Give the kid that you “groomed” to be the next franchise quarterback more than a handful of games to make his case. Better the offensive line for 2017 and see what Petty can do for you. But, don’t break the bank going after guys like Cousins, Watson, or Romo. The sink isn’t broken just yet, just a bit leaky. And, too all the Jet fans screaming about how bad we were last year, it could have been worse and it really wasn’t that bad—we’ve seen worse. Batten down the hatches and prepare for 2017… Now go watch the 3-point shootout and Slam Dunk Contest.

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...
