2017 Week 2 Sunday Game Ball

The football equivalent of this week of football would be garbage time. What a great week for the kickers this week (sorry Younghoe Koo), there was 4 teams who didn’t score a touchdown yesterday afternoon. Even though I didn’t spend any money to watch football yesterday, I want my money back. Right now, there is no point in watching football from a casual fan stand point. The Sunday Night schedule, which was the best schedule that showcased the best overall games has been an absolute wash. I don’t know how to fix this truly. I can only hope it gets better…


Getting to the good stuff on this bad week of football, the game ball. And, the Week 2 Sunday game ball goes to the goat, the greatest of all-time, the New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. After the Pats and Brady played the most un-patriot like game of the Brady-Belichick era, and followed it up with a 36-20 trumping of the Saints. In this 36-20 win Brady went 30-39 passing, for 447 yards, and 3 touchdowns. I said it last week, but everyone overreacting to the Patriots losing last week was crazy. It’s Brady and Belichick they are the best, and if you checked the box scores this morning the Chiefs are actually a good team, but again, so are the Patriots. I never like giving credit to the Patriots, but I need to here because it was just a great performance by a 40-year-old Tom Brady. The Monday Night schedule has an opportunity to overtake the Sunday Night schedule if the Giants and Lions show a great performance tonight at Metlife.

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...
