• Jordan Love is Out with MCL Sprain

    Jordan Love is Out with MCL Sprain

    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.

  • Packers vs. Eagles in Sao Paulo Preview

    Packers vs. Eagles in Sao Paulo Preview

    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.

    Philadelphia wins over Green Bay: 30-20.

  • NFL Kickoff: Get Ready for a Season

    NFL Kickoff: Get Ready for a Season

    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.

  • Damar Hamlin to Start for First Time Since Cardiac Arrest

    Damar Hamlin to Start for First Time Since Cardiac Arrest

    Buffalo Bills’ safety Damar Hamlin will start in the season opener at home this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals via head coach Sean McDermott. It will be his first time starting since the Cincinnati Bengals 2023 game and collapsing on the field due to cardiac arrest.

    The Cardinals missed the playoffs with a 4-13 record last season while the Bills were jarred loose by the Chiefs in the AFC Divisional round. Hamlin’s role with the team was previously in danger but he has jumped to a marvelous comeback after surgery and a minor hamstring injury in the preseason.

    The safety position is to earn as Cole-Bishop and Mike Edwards will be trying to vie for what approaches in the fall.

  • Smashed Wilson Racquet

    Smashed Wilson Racquet

    So, every once in a while there is a story about a starting quarterback named Russell Wilson that people tend to hear about because it was like a smashed tennis racquet.

    For all the good and bad reasons, the Steelers announced on Wednesday afternoon Wilson’s QB designation. Wilson led the Seattle Seahawks to two Super Bowl appearances and years later is looking to re-spark that magic with the Denver Broncos and now Pittsburgh Steelers.

    Pittsburgh has fought under a new general manager by the name of Omar Khan and he has compiled decent draft picks but nothing too superstar-like since his promotion. Also, he added Andy Weidl who worked closely with the Eagles offensive line and won some division and championship titles along the way.

    The main hire is Arthur Smith. Smith is coming off a firing and critics have been skeptical of his two tight-end systematic formations and playing inside the middle of the field with Wilson. One of Wilson’s main areas of concern.

    Wilson cannot run like he is fairly used to. And after the past couple of seasons in Denver, he looks lowly more productive with Justin Fields easily ready to take the throne.

  • Florida State Upset by Georgia Tech

    Florida State Upset by Georgia Tech

    Florida State was upset by Georgia Tech by a final score of 24-21 in Ireland on Saturday. DJ Uiagelelei ended the day with a superb stat line but spent most time throwing within five yards of the line of scrimmage. Last year’s FSU team was undefeated and started discussion of a possible spot in the playoff tournament. As it turns out, Keon Coleman, Jordan Travis, Trey Benson, and multiple others have left the program and it has been a rocky start for the Seminoles under coach Mike Norvell’s and a highest scoring offense from last year.

    As for Georgia Tech, they rammed together pretty decent drives, especially toward the end when Florida State answered with a drive of their own, and Georgia Tech responded with a game-winning drive to elicit the strength of its quarterback Haynes King meshed with the offensive line. It was a solid day for Georgia Tech as they now take advantage of a brand new conference race.

  • Molinaless Winemixer

    Molinaless Winemixer

    Yadier Molina was born in PR and then migrated to play for the St. Louis Cardinals which lasted 18 MLB seasons as a backstop. He is truly respected by every figure across the league. Fast forward to today, there is a shift being substituted in Molina’s place. It is called the Molinaless winemixer.

    Something in simple terms where liquors are mixed but the caveat is this year’s ball club. The 2024 St. Louis Cardinals are currently five games back of a wild card berth but lack some talent including Jordan Walker, Nolan Gorman, Brandon Crawford, and now catcher Wilson Contreras.

    Contreras has easily been St. Louis’ biggest star this year with a .849 OPS despite missing seven weeks and now likely the remainder of 2024 due to a hit pitch by Pablo Lopez. It has not bode healthy for St. Louis ever since Molina left as a non-manager especially.

    Jobs are at stake including Oliver Marmol, John Mozeliak, and others who have played a part behind the scenes. St. Louis fans can only retort a bit of vitriol at the moment and strive with new catcher Ivan Herrera who was originally graded as the Cards’ sixth top-rated prospect.

  • Cade York Traded to Commanders

    Cade York Traded to Commanders

    The Commanders continue to make moves as they not only trade Jahan Dotson but acquire Cade York from the Cleveland Browns for a conditional seventh-round pick. This comes off the heels of a successful college career at LSU (2022) and never quite gelling with the Cleveland Browns.

    York is pretty hopeful he will secure a kicking job before the regular season as he started the preseason decently and worked through other hurdles before re-signing with Cleveland in 2024.

  • Doneleavy

    Doneleavy

    The Golden State Warriors are done for. They have been in a stalemate position since Bob Myers left for ESPN media and unloaded Jordan Poole.

    Poole was a spark plug. He was one of Stephen Curry’s ignitions to start. Speaking of which, Curry scored ridiculously high in his final four games at the Paris Olympics as compared to the first couple. Curry finished with a game high 24 points to end the games and was feeling more electric fans had not seen him in a while.

    When Curry is in the moment, he strikes and currently the front office has really characterized no bolt of satisfaction and critics believe Curry is set to leave the Warriors, similar to Klay Thompson because they might not like the current situation in Golden State.

    Curry is a respectable athlete in the locker room. No one cannot take that away except for what comes next with Mike Dunleavy Jr. He is someone unsure of already handling the general manager job position and taking the reins for owner Joe Lacob and company.

  • Seattle Strong

    Seattle Strong

    Mr. Wilson is standing tall for Seattle and this does not imply talking about the days he stood next to Randy Johnson as a catcher. He is standing so to represent the team, days removed from Scott Servais’ long awaited firing.

    Servals was not as abysmal with a .514 winning percentage and one playoff appearance but that did not suffice the purpose of ultimately reigniting good times known as the ‘glory days’ of Seattle.

    Servais is gone. Dan Wilson in. There is no exceptional way of calculating it. Wilson has never served as a upper level coaching staff member but as fondly connected Servais’ exiting letter was to the Seattle community, Wilson is casted the same.

    Wilson is beloved by Seattle fans, execs, co-workers to erase the five lead deficit currently in the division and accomplish: one or two things.

    Try and definitively improve the offense that is heeding off a major league best 3.26 rotation ERA and prove that glory days are still on the horizon for a Seattle ball club within reach time in and out.
