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.

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...
