Doc’s Daily Rants: Weekend Edition.

    Buddy Hield in a Celtics uniform? Yes please!  1. The Celtics and Bruins both won last night but the games were much closer than they should’ve been. You’ve got to blow out teams like the Suns and Leafs. 2. The B’s snapped a five game skid last night in Toronto but they didn’t play well. It was 2-1 for most of the night. They’ll need to play much better…

Patriots Pulse Blog: I Wouldn’t Get Too Excited About Nate Washington. He Might Not Make the Team. 

    On the surface, the Nate Washington signing seems like a good signing for the Patriots. Washington gives them some much needed size on the outside and he gives them a vertical threat. That’s what Washington brings to the table in theory. That’s not reality however. At 32, Washington is no longer a starting receiver who can make big plays and put up big numbers. Those days are behind. Can…

I’m Just Sayin: Lebron Reinforces the Notion That He Is A Selfish Primadonna.

Lebron is at it again. Its all about him. Lebron is at it again. He’s not happy with the way things are going in Cleveland so he is once again calling on his friends to form another super team. Stop me if you’ve heard that before. Remember how excited Cleveland was in the summer of 2014 to get their native son back in a Cavs uniform? Well, that was then…

University of Arizona Football Fan Experience is Pretty Cool/Funny. (Video)

I think what the University of Arizona football team did was pretty cool. I know in this day in age you’ve got to be careful of liability, but giving the fans a chance to get on the field and participate in some of the drills and to experience what it is like to be on the team is a neat idea. Kudos to Rich Rod and his staff for putting…

NFL At Large: The NFL Officially Kills the Kick Off and Kick Return With this New Spot Rule.

The NFL’s competition committee has decided to move a touchback up five yards from the 20 to the 25 yard line. The move will be treated as a one year experiment but lets be honest, its here to stay. The league has been trying to move away from kickoffs and kick returns the last few years and this is the most significant step towards achieving that goal. Believe it or…

Doc’s Daily Blurb: Did Anyone Really Think That Dink Goodell Would Give the Patriots Their Pick Back? Yeah….I Didn’t Think So.

What a swoosh! Roger Goodell announced this morning that their would be no change to the Patriots deflategate punishment. Goodell acknowledged that he received a letter from Bob Kraft asking that the Patriots be given back the picks they lost in the deflategate punishment. Goodell denied the request because he doesn’t feel that there enough new evidence presented to warrant changing the punishment. Goodell is a douche! No one in…

I’m Just Sayin: Screw L.A, Screw Kroenke and Screw the Rams! They Don’t Deserve to be Featured on Hard Knocks!

Yaaaaay! The Rams are an awful choice for Hard Knocks. Why would you promote a sleazebag owner like Stan Kroenke who maneuvered his way out of St. Louis and moved the team back to Los Angeles? I don’t get it? He didn’t do it because he loves L.A and wants a team in the market. He saw it as an opportunity to develop more real estate and make more money!…

This Glenn Robinson, Stephen “Ass” Smith Feud is Raging On. (Videos)

Obviously there is some bad blood between these two dudes. To his credit, Smith took the high road and surprisingly enough, acted his age when he responded to Robinson’s challenge to fight him. Robinson on the other hand stayed on the offensive and challenged Smith again. Oh and he also called him a racist. The saga continues.

2016 NFL Draft: Titans GM Jon Robinson Should Ask for a King’s Ransom for the Number One Pick.

If I were Tennessee Titans GM Jon Robinson, I would ask for a king’s ransom for the number one pick as well. It’s the first pick in the draft. It still has value, especially in a draft like this where two quarterbacks could potentially go in the first ten picks. Robinson should be asking for a king’s ransom. The Titans have a variety of needs and the only way to…

NFL At Large: New Rule Changes Will Make the Game Safer and Softer.

The NFL announced several rule changes for the 2016 season. Here the changes and my thoughts on them. 1. Chop Blocks Have Been Outlawed: Is this really a surprise? I’m surprised it took this long to outlaw all chop blocks. I don’t agree with the change but given where the game is going, I can’t say I’m surprised. The game is getting softer in all aspects. 2. Horse Collar Expanded: Defensive players…
