Michael Jordan, former Chicago Bulls star, has filed a lawsuit against NASCAR and feels really confident. He told the Athletic, “ I wouldn’t have filed it if I didn’t think I could win.”
He voiced his confidence before Yellawood 500 at Talledega Speedway supporting 23XI driver Bubba Wallace who are in joint communication of working against Nascar’s ‘anticompetitve’ and ‘exclusionary’ practices appearing from a source.
Anaheim Angels Mike Trout is like thinking of a superhero figure walking in the northern hemisphere of Planet Earth. The guy can hit, amuse, fist bump his chest and still look good. These are the qualities that make or break Trout.
Greatness is defined as being great, distinguished, or eminent, and none of those sometimes exemplify Trout. Trout, for example, did not adore commercials, an undesirable way to catapult to the top. Eminence was not on his mind all the time, even though there were choices.
Trout would also be hit by a significant of lows marginalizing to highs as a loyal cast member of the Angels for the last thirteen years of his full career. Meaning, if it was one top play after the other or a walk-off moment that solidified absolutely everything.
It was a telling moment, however, when Shohei Ohtani struck out his Angels teammate Mike Trout in the 2023 World Baseball Classic and put aside talk that the kid from Millville, NJ could come up clutch for Team USA.
The real talk is Trout still has some years left of baseball in him but his career greatness of .299 BA and .991 OPS cannot be overshadowed to go along with his excellent fielding jinx, of course.
Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams has been demoted to AAA. Why? Nobody really understands except Abrams was spotted at a Chicago area casino only hours before a day game.
This is arguably inexcusable when Abrams was a former all=star and presented the team in the fashion he did. GM Mike Rizzo will not disclose what happened to Abrams but demote him and keep things ‘in-house.’
Losing catches up to any player but for it to spoil Abram’s career is not good. In the second half of this season, he hit 203 with a .586 OPS. He will report to the team’s spring training facility.
Artyom Levshunov is forgoing the NHL Prospects Showcase due to a foot injury. A puck happened to severely hit his right foot and will miss some time. The showcase is always an opportunity to boost their prospects at NHL training camp but with that being said, Levshunov is a former No.2 overall pick by the Blackhawks touted to be Connor Bedard’s running mate going forward.
Bobby Witt Jr has stormed the baseball universe. Aaron Judge, meanwhile, electrifies it. These two are in a race for AL MVP and there is no misjudging based on Judge’s pathed trail of home runs (51), record-high OPS (1.141), and succinct 9.5 WAR. WAR was exceptionally better in 2022 but also in that year, Judge rose to 55 home runs through that period of September
OPS is far much better for Judge today but do not be outwitted by Bobby Witt Jr.’s outstanding performances soon become the first Kansas City Royal since George Brett in 1993 to win a batting title. Brett was a sensational hitter that eventually matured into 3,154 career hits lifetime.
Witt has replicated the same formula by becoming a challenging hitter and working on his all-around craft. This year, he has amounted to 40 doubles, 30 homers, 30 steals, and 10 triples and he is only 24 years old to go along with Gunnar Henderson who is another league of his own.
The race might feel classy but what this means for Witt can only be judged.
The Philadelphia Birddogs are reinvented. Perhaps, birddawgs, that is.
Philly could not have started a more positive run than the 2017 season. The 2017 season was a glorious success. Carson Wentz was the highest selling jersey. The Eagles won their first Super Bowl. Nothing could defeat the 2017 season for the Philadelphia Birddogs, at least.
They had overcome extremities from losing Carson Wentz and calling for the next quarterback up, Nick Foles. Foles set the standard for a backup QB to lead his team to the Super Bowl and, also, against Tom Brady. The Eagles eventually won the Super Bowl over the New England Patriots.
They were capable but unable to defeat the Patriots in the 2005 Super Bowl but after the Howie Roseman-Andy Reid conflict of power rose over. Eagles general manager Roseman was able to become one of the interesting figures in football by first drafting Wentz and then collecting a group of players to play and be considered dawgs.
The Eagles have gotten over the hump by winning a Super Bowl in 2018 but fast forward to today, Roseman has begun to reinvent the wheel once more by now inviting the Georgia bulldogs to camp.
More contributions were made by Zack Baun during the Eagles first regular season game but the Georgia Bulldogs or Philadelphia Birddogs encapsulate starting role potential and overall spirit that count toward the Eagles glorious success.
Dak Prescott has signed a massive contract extension worth four years, $240 million making him the highest-paid NFL player also after agreeing to sign an $80 bonus and $231 in guaranteed money to continue playing for the Dallas Cowboys.
Dak played as an MVP candidate last year and surpassed kinds of his career milestones such as allowing fewer interceptions (9), recording more passing yards (4,516) and touchdowns (36) in a single season. Following this further, he was the first honor All-Pro who soared from a compensatory 4th round pick to highly regarded in the business of the National Football League which leads to this.
How will islands such as Turks and Caicos hold up along with the Bahamas, or the Caribbean? Well, Prescott signed his contract hours prior with and to a Tyreek Hill traffic violation and Cleveland Browns matchup. Prescott has been fair and cooperative to the Dallas Cowboys organization. He has not held out nor bad mouthed the Cowboys. Calling them an eternal brotherhood.
Likely erasing that notion.
As seen in this video, it is expressed why the Cowboys should not have many concerns but after a massive deal and unclear future. It is quite perplexing how the Cowboys retain the services of Prescott and continue utilizing him.
He has a 2-5 playoff record and could withstand a couple more years with coach Mike McCarthy but Trey Lance and others might also be interesting prospects.
Nonetheless, the honeymoon is booked because Jerry Jones stamped on the promise to Prescott and the Cowboys faithful.
Jordan Love will miss weeks due to an MCL Sprain. Doctors cannot ever forecast the legitimate possibility for a quarterback to return from an injury of this magnitude but Love was caught scrambling within the final seconds of the Eagles-Brazil game.The same type of injury, his teammate Aaron Jones sustained last year.
Malik Willis is his replacement for now. The Green Bay front office believes fans have not seen the best of Willis yet and should look forward to the Packets facing a crop of teams going forward after trading for Willis in August.
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens on season opening night and it was a doozy. Strong enough that Isiah Likely proved to be the least interesting tight-end (again). Lamar Jackson played with an extreme heart and got punched with KC’s odds of winning.
But now it is a different day and on to Sao Paulo as the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers get set to face each other.
The Eagles come into this year with a new pass rush featuring Jalen Carter, Bryce Huff, Josh Sweat, and others. The Packers are the youngest team in the NFL so watch out for what a veteran Josh Jacobs might even display at this stage of his career.
The Packers ended last year with a surprise playoff win over the Eagles’ nemesis (DAL) and proved their defense not to be a bust. Jaire Alexander is a second All-Pro team corner who also now works with Saquon Barkley’s friend, Xavier McKinney.
There is some good joy to go around, Brazil but nothing like two teams striving to become the top team in the entire NFC this year. If Eagles coach Nick Sirianni does not stay too conservative, Philly has a good chance of winning.
Let the NFL season officially begin. The Kansas City Chiefs play the Baltimore Ravens tonight at Arrowhead Stadium in a must-win football game. It is a rematch of the close AFC championship game between them last year. This year, Lamar Jackson is a more leaner and stronger quarterback. Patrick Mahomes has taken shortcuts.
Mahomes has been seen with love handles sticking out during the summer days and basking in his second consecutive Super Bowl victory. What can the Chiefs possibly do to duplicate another Super Bowl? Well, they brought back Chris Jones and do not have many holes on defense.
The biggest x-factor comes down to Travis Kelce’s potential this year, along with the rest of the receivers. It is not to be much of an issue, however. The Chiefs have the potential to repeat, while some others do not. For example, the New England Patriots were a franchise that contended in the playoffs year after year and never let up.
Now, it is a different landscape today with the Buffalo Bills on the Chiefs’ back, the Patriots being led by Drake Maye, and the New York Giants continuing a trend with the same tarnished offensive line. It is a game of poke chips and the winner earns one or more Super Bowl victories.
