Day 274

Fresh Start_274: Changing things that don’t make sense
I’m not that good at math but having less time to score would lead to less ties. The NFL changed the rules in overtime from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. This rule change was supposed to make a change because the amount of ties that the NFL had this year.

How is that supposed to work? How does a less amount of time to score lead to less ties? Wouldn’t the amount of ties go up because of the less amount of time. The less amount of time would lead to lesser drives, which means the field goal kicker should just go home when the games go to overtime.

If a team goes done the field and uses up 8 minutes and kicks a field goal, the other team has to go done the field in 2 minutes and score a touchdown to avoid a tie. Which means the team that gets the ball second will turn the football field into a NFL Blitz game or a shorten game of Madden.

Teams will be more laid back on defense if let’s say the team gets into field goal range to give the offense a chance. It will lead to sloppy play and just damage the product on the field. I really don’t understand why the NFL needs change the OT rule when there is other gapping wholes that are just apparently being glossed over in the league office.  

That just doesn’t seem like it would lead to less ties. Virtually eliminating the field goal kickers, cutting done on the time limit you have to score, and are personally making this rule to get rid of ties.

I just don’t understand how the NFL works and why the rules that they change rules that don’t make sense for the time. So, let’s just ride this crazy roller coaster and roll with the punches, because the senile commissioner that is Roger Goodell is crazy as ever.

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
