  • Dylan Cease Signs 7 year, $210 million with Toronto Blue Jays

    Cease has signed the dotted line with the Toronto Blue Jays worth 7 years, $210 million. This deal comes with deferrals and eliminates any possibility of the top-arm on the market signing elsewhere.

    Cease had one of the best strikeout rates last year behind Tarik Skubal and Garrett Crochet which made him an intriguing option. There were rumors Cease was always a moving target that had not gone to the Houston Astros during the MLB Trade deadline.

    Instead, Cease declined the $22 million qualifying offer from the San Deigo Padres and was offered more money. The Toronto Blue Jays are being criticized for the move that will see Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer come off the books.

    Bringing in Cease now, will eliminate any stigma around the Toronto Blue Jays that there in it to win now and re-sign Bo Bichette. Kyle Tucker is another option but the wealth of talent has been mostly criticized.

  • Andy Reid’s Last Rodeo

    It is 14-17 at halftime and notice the Cowboys are leading over the Chiefs entering the second half. Travis Kelce scores one of mere touchdowns for Reid and doubt starts to land atop the tenure of Reid.

    Reid has been coaching in the NFL since he first got to the Philadelphia Eagles back in the late 90’s. There, he drafted Donovan McNabb and built a cultivating culture of talent that included Brian Dawkins, Brandon Graham, Brian Westbrook, and more. After he could not reconcile with Howie Roseman, he said goodbye and commenced a new chapter with Kansas City.

    Kansas City has been beyond his best tenure, yet, as he had the fortune of coaching Alex Smith, Patrick Mahomes, Kelce, Tyreek Hill, and more. His West Coast offense and adjustments made for Mahomes has what separated himseolf apart from the rest of the NFL.

    Now, it is up to him to send this rodeo to scream roaring or packing towards a W. Reid is 67 years old and counting and it would not be a shock if Kansas City started afresh off the heels of GM Brett Veach.

    Establishing a cultivating culture now or never seems likely and it is Reid’s job/duty to deliver the goods.

  • Sonny Gray is a Red Sock

    It is official. The first big trade of the MLB offseason took place between the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals for Sonny Gray. Gray is a Red Sock.

    This came after news of Gray wanting to spend more time near his hometown of Nashville, TN and play for a contender at 36.

    This is great news for the Red Sox as they have been looking for a veteran starter with some postseason experience to go along with Garrett Crochet. The Cardinals cover $20 million as this begins the vision of Chaim Bloom as St. Louis president of Baseball of Operations.

    Bloom spent part of his time in Boston and is now looking to rectify what has held back the St. Louis organization. This was one of the best returns they could receive possible by shutting down payroll and looking for the ultimate prospects to step up with Brandon Clarke and Richard Fitts in the race.

    It was a smart move by Bloom trading Gray to an AL team as teams will against Boston are going to land priceless.

  • Where will Stephen Curry Rank All-Time

    Stephen Curry was in the middle of a Google Pixel commercial as this was written so it might as well be revealed. Curry is one of the greatest point guards of all-time.

    Do you remember the Kobe Bryant-Lebron James debates? Well it has gotten personal within Curry and James.

    Curry will never be the same again and it is more likely, the Los Angeles Lakers have a better season than the Golden State Warriors, reigning No.2 inside the Western Conference.

    What is the more important notion is that Curry stepped beyond boundaries meaning, sometimes, he has had to shelter a lot of weight on his shoulders, even it meant a current hamstring injury, sidelining him for one week.

    Curry will always serve as the true platinum to the Under Armour brand throughout his time despite what critics say. He is characterized by his brothers, Klay Thompson and Draymond, and, maybe even coach Steve Kerr.

    Everyone has loved Curry’s display of art and poise but where he will rank all-time comes down to top-10 ability and what else, he may just do to play and surprise in a quickly evolving, adapting league.

  • Why Nothing Hurts in Jalen’s World

    Why Nothing Hurts in Jalen’s World

    Jalen Hurts is a Métis (relating to computer science) at this game, by now. He reads, studies, and prioritizes what schemes are being played whether it is April Fool’s Day or Christmas.

    Around this time, some teammates share criticism and doubt what they are going to receive for Christmas. Hurts has completed 66.9% of his passes along with a 16:1 touchdown-interception ratio.

    The only scenario is Hurts has been playing his cards right all throughout the season.

    Star wide receiver A.J. Brown has been dicey. He has been allowing stupid social media to get the best of him and defer to Devonta Smith.

    Smith has been called the renaissance man in Philadelphia and there is currently no petition for that with Brown trailing the way.

    The games maybe less scoring but there is no confusion for how Hurts has won them. He can be a multi-MVP, stockholder in a franchise, and crowned prince all he wants.

    Team comes first to Hurts as nothing is going to jolt that course of a proven back-to-back Super Bowl contender.

  • Chicago Blackhawks are Making a Promising Comeback

    The Chicago Blackhawks were the pride of Chicago for half a decade. They competed with the likes of Duncan Keith, Jonathan Toews, Andrew Shaw, and Patrick Kane. Fast forward to now, they have suddenly picked up speed, especially with third-year player Connor Bedard leading the league through 16 games in active points streaked, primary points, and points.

    He did have a dump off last year but now Bedard is starting the season better than ever with some promising hopes.

    Beginning with Andrei Burakovksy, he has played solid staying up to par with Bedard on the top line. Without him, he would not be Bedard’s Leon to McDavid.

    Another factor is Oliver Moore being promoted to the NHL. He is a highly touted prospect and even though Macklin Celebrini just tied Sidney Cosby for most points by a teenager through his first 16 games, trailing Wayne Gretzky. Moore would make up for, thereof, talent sitting with another player quietly sitting on the power play, Artyom Levshunov.

    Overall, the Chicago Blackhawks currently possess a 8-5 record and have a chance to make some noise in the city of Chicago, again.
