The 2016 combine is in the books. It was an eventful weekend in Indy. Some players shined, some flopped. Here are my five winners and losers from the 2016 Scouting Combine. (courtesy of Sports Illustrated) Carson Wentz Winners Carson Wentz, Quarterback, NDSU: Wentz was impressive in the interview process and on the field. He can make every throw in the playbook and he looks athletic on the move. By all…
One word describes this audio. AWESOME! Howard Stern isn’t what he used to be but he still has his moments where he can be funny. By the way, I love how the interview goes south fast when Manning refers to Cam Newton as a “Cry baby bitch” Good stuff.
Commissioner Rob Manfred got people’s attention with today’s ruling. Major League Baseball announced today that Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman has been suspended for 30 games for violating the league’s new Domestic Violence policy. Chapman announced that he is not appealing the suspension. He will eligible to return to the Yankees on May 9th. I give baseball commissioner Rob Manfred credit for coming down on Chapman. He could have given him…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, I couldn’t help it. I know I’m suppose to feel bad for these kids but hey, you reap what you sow. You don’t inadvertently throw a ball up in the air because you think time has expired. Its never over until the clock says it is. Shame on the Burrillville coach for not reminding his players of this prior to breaking the huddle on the next to last…
The Cavs are a disaster. Its not good when your second and third best players want out of town. It looks like David Blatt wasn’t the problem after all. This team has a major chemistry issue and it starts with Lebron. James runs the show in Cleveland. GM David Griffin and coach Tyronn Lue are puppets. They work for Lebron and do what he wants. Owner Dan Gilbert allows it…
The Bruins gave up future assets for two average players in Liles and Stempniak. (Image courtesy of CBS local) Let me start off by saying that I can understand why Don Sweeney didn’t trade Loui Eriksson. I don’t agree with the decision but the Bruins are a playoff contender. It would have been hard to take a lesser package for Eriksson knowing that the team is in contention and…
According to sources, Tom Brady has signed a two year extension with the Patriots that will take him through the 2019 season. Brady’s current deal expires after the 2017 season. The extension means that Brady will more than likely be in a Patriots uniform until the age of 42. It also means that Brady will finish his career with the Patriots. I know things could change in the next three…
The Bruins and soon to be free agent Loui Eriksson have reached an impasse in contract negotiations. So, the Bruins need to do the right thing and trade Eriksson. With Eric Staal traded this afternoon, Eriksson becomes the most valuable offensive player on the market. Don Sweeney needs to strike while the iron is hot. So what should the Bruins ask for in return for Eriksson? The conversation with…
Donnie Sweets will have a lot to ponder in the next 24 hours. 1. To call Steph Curry ridiculous would be an understatement. He is the best shooter we’ve seen since Larry Bird and when it’s all said and done, he could be better than Bird. 2. The Celtics win over the Heat was huge yesterday because that’s the team the Celtics have to ward off if they want to…
Noah Spence will have plenty of questions to answer this weekend about his character. Its hard to believe that the NFL Combine is already here. This year’s draft class is loaded with potential but there several prospects that have some question marks attached to them. Here are ten prospects that have some question marks heading into this weekend. I’ll be keeping an eye on them this weekend. 1. Carson Wentz,…
