The Detroit Tigers signed outfielder Justin Upton to a 6 year, $132 million dollar contract on Monday. The 28 year old spent last season with the Padres. Baseball insiders have been critical of the deal because they view it as too much money for a player who strikes out a lot. What?? I love the deal for the Tigers. It reinforces the notion that they have become one of baseball’s…
What a difference three weeks can make. Three weeks ago the Montreal Canadiens embarrassed the Bruins at the WinterClassic. Last night the B’s returned the favor beating the Canadiens 4-1 in Montreal. The Bruins scored first last night and never looked back in a dominant performance. It was nice payback after getting their asses handed to them by Montreal at the Classic. Unlike the Winter Classic, the Bruins were healthy…
Remember in the 1980’s when Wendy’s used to ask, where’s the beef? Celtics fans are now asking, where’s the D? Since the calendar flipped to 2016, the Celtics defense has gotten worse. Earlier this season, Boston was ranked in the top ten in defense. Lately however, they’ve looked anything like a top ten defense. The Celtics have given up an average of 108 points per game in their last seven…
The bandwagoneers are jumping ship in Seattle. 1. The Patriots returned to form against the Chiefs because Julian Edelman played. Edelman is the Patriots most important receiver, even more important than Gronk. He is a tremendous route runner and he enables the Patriots to get the ball out quick. That helps Brady and the offensive line. 2. The Packers lost to Arizona fair and square on Saturday night but they…
Yup….This picture pretty much sums it all up. While the other three quarterbacks are great, they will never be Tom Brady. He’s in a class all by himself. He’s the GOAT. And yes, that includes Manning. I’m lumping him with Newton and Palmer. I don’t put Manning in Brady’s class, even if Denver wins this week. Brady is better.
(Image courtesy of NFL.com) The 2015-16 NFL season will feature a Brady, Manning showdown after all. Manning missed the Week 12 game against the Patriots with a foot injury. Next Sunday’s AFC Championship game will mark the 17th meeting between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. It could very well be the final meeting in what some consider to be the greatest player rivalry in league history. Brady is 11-5 all…
http://youtu.be/-0Hamj7KUDE When you’re the best team in the NFL the last fifteen years and you’ve been there as many times as the Pats have, you don’t have to celebrate. You don’t celebrate until the job is done. That’s not for another three weeks.
What the hell is Kelce doing? I like the guy. I think he’s a good player but you don’t mock the GOAT. Unless of course you want to lose.Which Is exactly what happened to Kelce and the Chiefs. I hope the young tight end learned his lesson.
Tom Brady and the Pats leapfrogged the Chiefs into the AFC Championship game for a fifth straight season. Game Rewind: It wasn’t pretty at times but Tom Brady and the Patriots survived beating the Chiefs 27-20 to advance to their fifth straight AFC Chanpionship game. It will be their tenth conference championship appearance in the last sixteen years for the Patriots. WOW! That’s insane. Here are my five thoughts on…
Storyline: The 2016 playoffs start this afternoon for the Patriots as they host Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Patriots will get both Julien Edelman and Sebastian Vollmer back and that should help but the offense needs to be better moving forward if the Patriots are going to make another Super Bowl run. Here are my keys to this game. Three Offensive Keys for the Patriots 1….
