Day 276

Fresh Start_276: Second teams in the city grab the headlines
Why can’t players keep their mouths shut in New York. Jets Defensive End Sheldon Richardson said “Let's just say there are 15 reasons why it's better” about former Jets wide out Brandon Marshall. Marshall’s comments about Richardson’s comment was “…I’m a Giant now and I’m so excited for this opportunity. I’m working my butt off to learn the plays… I feel like a rookie again, and I kind of like that feeling.” Marshall took the high road, and was the veteran about this situation, while Richardson seems like the problem in the Jet locker room.

Richardson had 62 combined tackles (38 total, 24 assisted) with only 1.5 sacks with 2 pass deflections in 15 games. Richardson got paid $3.1 Million last year and this year is getting $8 Million to hopefully get more than 1.5 sacks. Richardson looked like he could possibly play Outside Linebacker in 2016 after a 5 sack and 35 combine tackle season. Now, trading Richardson seems like the correct move to get rid of the headache that he has become over his tenure with the Jets.

The Jets look to rebuild and try to fill all of the holes in the defense, their tight-end problem, and their offensive line woes. The Jets won’t be good this upcoming season, and the nonsense that will come out of Richardsons’ mouth will make the headlines, putting the Jets rebuild on the back burner. Richardson can still wield multiple picks; preferably a second and third round pick. There are plenty of teams that need a pass rusher on the edge that are potential playoff teams and Richardson is a good fit.

May God go easy on the Jets in 2017.

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...
