Day 294

Fresh Start_294: Another one bits the dust
What else can the Jets do to “Fail for Sam {Darnold}.” With the news today that the Jets will not trade Eric Decker — instead releasing him for no return this afternoon. If there was really no market for Decker, then obviously, the right decision is made if you truly want to part ways with him, but with the production that Decker has done over the course of his career, I highly doubt that the Jets couldn’t find a suiter for Decker.


What most likely happened is the Jets weren’t willing to take back some of Deckers’ contract, but would instead take a $1.5 million dead cap hit for this upcoming season.
Quincy Enunwa will now be the Jets number one receiving option with Robby Anderson, Charone Peak, with rookies ArDarius Stewart and Chad Henson rounding out this receiving core. So, Bryce Petty or Christian Hackenberg will have a lack luster receiving to be nice this upcoming season.


I do not understand why the Jets would even consider releasing or trading Decker because not only do you give your two stop gap quarterbacks no room to grow with less than average receivers, but you put yet another hole in this swiss cheese roster. So, the Jets have to show that they have solved the secondary problem, improve a bad linebacking core, solve the quarterback issue, but now create a receiving core issue that wasn’t a problem in the first place. In fact, that receiving core with Marshall and Decker; was arguably one of the best in the league when healthy.
I can honestly say, nothing that Woody Johnson and the Jets do anymore can surprise me. 0–16 here we come!

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...
