Honest Review #2.7

Honest Review 2.7: Déjà vu yet again
If losing at home on the heels of a terrible call, losing like this is just worst. I didn’t write this article last night because I was just crushed from this past weekend. Losing a little bit of money at the track yesterday afternoon didn’t help, but the Yankees losing in back to back games in Houston, to Michigan being blown out in Happy Valley on Penn State’s White Out game, to the Jets grabbing defeat out of the hands of victory. An absolutely awful sports weekend for me, and I don’t know if I want to watch sports next week.

If the Jets lose in a rough way at home against this bad Atlanta Falcons team—I don’t know if I can take it.

For the Jets to take a 21-14 lead into the locker room at half, a 28-14 lead into the 4th quarter, and to lose the game like they did—it’s the same old Jets. I’ve seen Jet quarterbacks throw a key interception in the 4th quarter to change the momentum and ultimately lose the game like they always do.

This Jet team apparently learned a lot in the smackdown that they took to the rear end in Oakland in Week 2, they still look like the same team that took that beat down. This team still looks like it hustles and plays hard, but they don’t know how to close teams out when it matters. This Miami game, the Patriots loss last week, and the win that was almost a lost against the Jaguars a couple weeks back.

This game would have been a great road win, and a win in division that would have kept them in the race for the division. In a year that almost every Jet fan wanted the team to lay an egg and just be the worst team in football, they have somehow dragged us Jet fans in this season, and they are breaking our hearts when we knew all along that they would be terrible.

So, my proposition to Todd Bowles and this team is, just be horrible for the rest of the year. They have fought hard for a little while sticking through the madness of the season, but the fun is over, and the tank should be back on in Gotham. Try and get the quarterback to turn this franchise around (please I’m sick of key 4th quarter interceptions), trade Matt Forte for a draft pick that we can use, and let’s roll into the 2018 NFL draft like it’s our Super Bowl and we have to play well. If not, well, this franchise should clean house—getting a group that is focused on rebuilding from the ground floor to try and bringing the Jets a Super Bowl title.

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...
