Day 288

Fresh Start_288: The rebuild has truly begun
At this point I cannot defend Woody Johnson and the Jets any longer. The glimmer of hope that I had for the 2017-18 season is all but gone. That hope was winning a game or two, but with the recent news of the Jets completely tanking and trading or releasing wide receiver Eric Decker by the end of the week.

The Jets won’t have troubling trading Decker, it’s just a matter of what they get back in return. Decker at this stage of his career, Decker who caught 80 passes for 1,027 yards in his last full season with the Jets. A guy with his talent would call for at least a second and a third round pick, if not two second rounders.

The Jets are getting younger and cheaper as they move into their rebuilding faze, and from a fan perspective I get it but it isn’t reassuring. Rebuilds always sound appetizing at first, but when the plan is executed by the organization, the fans go into an uproar. Just pile on that this is the New York Jets and their history of drafts/free agency signings. The new management of Todd Bowles and Mike Maccagnan the franchise almost made the playoffs with a 10-6 two seasons ago with a good off season. This past draft should be the draft that starts the rebuild, and possibly has a few Super Bowl winners on it, if this rebuild works correctly.

Shopping Decker like this just proves yet again that both Maccagnan and Bowles have job security because if they don’t; Woody Johnson should be forced to sell the team.

I personally don’t like the move because Decker is one of the two proven NFL receivers {Enuwa being the other}, and with you subtracting Decker from the team, what chance does any quarterback have of making an impact next season?

Regardless of who you choose to be the starter, what chance will they have with the defense putting majority of the focus of Enunwa with double and possible triple teams? But, this is a true rebuild, and at this point, it better work.

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...
