Day 345

Fresh Start_345: Hey Maccagnan; take the bounty and run
I may be outed by Jets Nation for this; but trade Sheldon Richardson. If you think about the direction that the Jets have gone this offseason heading into the 2017 Preseason, it’s a rebuild (don’t listen to the players). Looking at the production that Richardson put out last season with 62 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, and only one forced fumble in 15 games last season—the Jets should feel blessed that there are offers for Richardson.

The package that Richardson should grant in return is a 1st round pick in the early to mid-first round if not two second round picks. It will better the team as a whole with the cuts that they have made and the way they drafted in this past Aprils’ draft. It’ll be better for the Jets and their fans in the long term, believe me. Richardson will not benefit the Jets because you can lose win him and you can lose without him. It is better to get a return from Seattle or Washington.

I think that the Jets should just clean house and trade Muhammed Wilkerson as well. The return both of them can grant is just impossible to turn down in separate deals. Yes, the team will suffer this season and maybe only win one game, but having possibly three first rounds picks or at worst a lottery pick in the first and five second round picks is something that is a no brainer to me.

Before the value of both of the players goes down with the wear and tear that an NFL season can put on a player—not to mention the fact that both will be a year older if the Jets decide to wait that long to pull the trigger, offers like this don’t always stay on the table. If I’m Mike Maccagnan and the Jets I’d take the money and run like the wind with the bounty of cash that you just stole from the league. A good defensive line won’t do you any good with no linebackers and a rebuilt secondary. Just like Carmelo Anthony with the Knicks; if you can lose with him, you can lose without him so trade ‘em.

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...
