Day 272

Fresh Start_272: STOP IT; right now!
Why is the news media (Fox Sports and ESPN) milking every ounce out of the Lavar Ball cow? I don’t understand why the networks have turned into 13-year-old girls and are bringing him on time after time, writing articles about Lavar Ball and his crazy statements and everything surrounding the Ball family like anything Ball says actually matters.

As I’ve said when this all started; all of this talk is just noise until each of the ball brothers have a ring on their finger. Nothing matters, absolutely nothing. Not the declaration for the draft seconds after the Elite 8 loss to Kentucky, or the $495 shoes, or the Kristine Leahy fight on The Herd, nothing. I haven’t talked about the “Leahy vs Ball” fiasco because I have physically cannot stand talking about Lavar Ball anymore. The train of crazy has left the station a long time ago.

I don’t see what more you can do with Lavar Ball that hasn’t already been done. Sorry FS1, ESPN gotcha when they stuck Lavar Ball and Steven A. Smith in a room together that happened to have cameras. This isn’t a court system where you can try and do the same thing because the defendant gets to respond. You have Ball on a small radio interview, ask him one meatball question, and you talk the loss as a company and try to do better the next time. You don’t sit and squeeze every last drop out of the orange because you can. That isn’t news, it’s gossip and cable has channels for that type of “news” and last time I checked it wasn’t Fox Sports 1 and ESPN. If that is the road they want to stoop down too, there will be a new network that takes over within 5 years.

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...
