  • The Anthony Rendon Era in Anaheim is Over

    The Anaheim Angels went out and made one of their smartest moves since acquiring Anthony Rendon. They released him.

    Rendon will be owed $38 million for the next three to five years. This will allow the Angels to explore different options as the Rendon era was foolish.

    Rendon did not play up to expectations. He never played a full season of baseball and what was worse is the actions and words spoken by Rendon.

    Rendon was a cash cow in Washington. He won a World Series, and, then a switch turned on him.

    It was never the same Rendon who became the highest paid third baseman in the game of baseball. He overstepped boundaries with reporters and never quite traveled with the team.

    As many of the issues Anaheim had, this is one of them. Never sign with a team unless the player has the gull to stand in the batter’s box.

    It is quite simple.

  • Milan Celebrini

    It is officially the Celebrini show! It was announced Macklin Celebrini made the Team Canada roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. It is good for him, quite add, but people in NHL circles, know just how great Celebrini is.

    Call in Jonathan Toews and Sidney Crosby to name a few. Toews, Crosby, and others have never made Team Canada in their teens, and that is not a perpetual understatement.

    As fans are starting to see with Celebrini, Matthew Schaefer and Connor Bedard, teens can perfect incredible stuff on the ice. Fortunately for Celebrini, he received a phone call from an executive of Team Canada and the St. Louis Blues, Doug Armstrong.

    Armstrong delivered the news and based off Celebrini’s remarks, he could just remember the conversation he had with his parents, Rick and Robyn, following the news about Milan Cortina.

    Drew Doughty leaves no doubts that Celebrini can play freely and to the aid, like with the San Jose Sharks. With a -15 team goal differential, Celebrini is hitting a high plateau of +13 difference. He is also trailing just Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid in current NHL points (62).

    Toews is the only Triple Gold club winner and has hugely extolled the play of Celebrini. There are so many endless factors to the prestigious truth and greatness of Celebrini and Team Canada.

  • Micah Parsons Sticks up for Trevon Diggs

    Micah Parsons did not have any of it. Parsons took to Twitter on how a local blogger was wrong in assessing Trevon Diggs tenure in a Dallas Cowboys uniform.

    He wrote, “I feel like what point is there in trying to publicly disrespect someone? He’s not representing the star anymore, just give the man a farewell and wish him the best. I don’t know why everything has to be negative every time a break-up happens! He’s in a better situation rn, trust me! Bro’s gonna be great again!”

    Bro is going to be great again. The Cowboys are a mess. They could not have just been patient on several of their defensive stars and acclimate in a system other than Matt Eberflus.

    Eberflus led the worst pass defense and allowed the most points per game (29.8). There should be no excuses in the Dallas locker room.

    They have been given a ton of chances by those in charge. Is it next man up or wisen up?

    The Cowboys have the audacity to trade their best star Micah Parsons and release a player that stood to improve in man coverage and accrue 11 interceptions in a single season.

    It should be made clear that they wasted careers in the likes of Zack Martin, Tyron Smith, Dak Prescott, Parsons and Diggs.

    The theme does not necessarily become older with this franchise losing and finishing 7-8-1. Much respect to Brian Schottenheimer, to give a press release that the Cowboys are riding out the season, to find a way of winning games without playoff contention, is blatantly absurd.

    There must be changes that provide the example of Parsons and Diggs in Dallas.

  • Woah, Colorado Avalanche!

    The Colorado Avalanche are coming. They are coming to steal lunch money, sing trick-or treat, or run through the trenches which the Avalanche have this season.

    This season, the Avalanche possess a 29-2 record and show no signs of stopping heading into the new year. They are led by the eventual Hart and James Norris candidates Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar.

    They are also led by two net minders in goal, Scott Wedgewood and MacKenzie Blackwood. Wedgewood has been the biggest difference maker, earning a whopping 17 wins, 2.13 GAA, and .919 SV%.

    It is also no big coincidence that Martin Necas and Brent Burns have been coming up huge. The new bench depth has not taken a seat to MacKinnon and Cale Makar and have proved dividends, otherwise.

    There is an apparent shift on Doppler 5 and it appears headed towards a Colorado Avalanche! Let’s just hope the Colorado Rockies can swoop things up, as well.

  • An Early New Year’s Eve Present

    It has been reported by multiple media outlet sources that James Nnaji will declare to play for Baylor after being drafted 31st overall in the 2023 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets. It has caught many egos in the college basketball world such as Tom Izzo and Dan Hurley who respectfully make a ton of money and go on blast towards the NIL.

    The NIL competing for every which rights of a player’s eligibility, Baylor did what many universities could not that is find a recipe for their best interests in college basketball. It has created a rift among some such as Hurley expressing how unfair and supplemental that a college basketball commissioner enter the reigns of the sport.

    As for Izzo, he recently joked that Magic Johnson should return to play if Nnaji can, also.

    In realistic summary, the whole NBA system has been rigged from jump street (which includes 17-18 year olds or rising G-League status). Nnaji is not the answer to the NBA’s co-existing woes as a solution must be solved around this time of New Year’s Day.

  • What We Learned from NFL Week 17

  • Revisiting the Double-Doink

    Congratulations to the Chicago Bears on clinching their first NFC North title since 2019. Consdered then, the Double-Doink, Matt Nagy and crew witnessed a heartblowing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at the heart and souls of Soldier Field.

    Now, Bears fans can rejoice and hope Caleb Williams and company buoy to a significant playoff win, after the Green Bay Packers loss Saturday night to the Baltimore Ravens.

    Double-Doink field goal

    The Packers won in their first meeting with the Bears, however. The Bears emerged in OT, as victors, and conquered the Packers with no bittersweet touch of a Double-Doink.

  • Interstate 405

    Dave Canales knows a lot about Seattle as he preps for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks. The Seattle Seahawks were the grand home of Canales for 13 consecutive years. He would instill flashing positivity with the likes of Geno Smith and Russell Wilson for as many years Canales was quarterbacks coach.

    Interstate 405 brings back a lot of nostalgia and good memories for coach Canales. Heading into Seattle vs. Carolina, the Panthers hold a stake at clinching the NFC South division title for the first time since seven years ago.

    Canales learnt frequently from head coach at the time, Pete Carroll. The biggest thing was simply to juggle time and compete. Whether it be marrying the pass with the run or taking care of the ball, the team primarily goes out with a conscience of toughness to win games.

    That is how Canales learned in his native California. He learned mainly through respect and being an assistant strength coach and video assistant, the proper way.

    And now, Canales, 44, decides to take the Interstate 405 route to Seattle— what is an anticipating matchup— for him and OC Brad Idzik who had experience in Seattle, with the wives included.

    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, meanwhile, are just one loss away from their playoff exit as they play the struggling Dolphins, and, Carolina Panthers so who basically knows what Canales has up his sleeve.
