• Did KD Make the Right Decision?

    Did KD Make the Right Decision?

    Kevin Durant is a prized enterprise. He has been around as long as the Longhorns have won their last national college football championship with Vince Young tunneling in pretty much. KD is ferocious. He does not allow any decision to go un guard. Just like the ones that have still made one of the small forwards in the NBA.

    But, more recently KD decided to do something nobody feasibly thought. He went ahead and, okay, decided to reject a trade back to his former team, the Golden State Warriors. The exact team or enterprise in 2017 that led him to first championship gold and hugging mom and expressing to the world how hardship of a Warrior pays off along the likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.

    As most may know then later behind closed doors, something broke out. Draymond Green not only got into with Jordan Poole or drew as many technical fouls in the recent past, he notably unleashed on KD. KD’s chemistry from then on was not the same and no personnel was their not even Bob Myers to retreat the damage.

    It was said KD’s last days in Golden State rung true and to this day righteously so as he decided to reject the trade to GS and is stationed in Phoenix where leaking immediate claimed owner Mat Ishbia would pay and retain him there until it is time to seek a better trade destination and value offer.

    KD is a prized player and possession. He is used to this pressure before from Oklahoma City to Brooklyn and so forth. He wants to cap off his career right one last time before it ends like Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, and all the rest who are currently struggling to maintain in series of big alliances, international prospects, or rival opponents.

  • Do Not Make the Travis Hunter Story Complicated

    Do Not Make the Travis Hunter Story Complicated

    Travis Hunter is a two-way star out of Colorado University. He was highly recruited by coach Deion Sanders and played good enough to earn this year’s Heisman’s award.

    Now what I am not understanding is why teams such as the Tennessee Titans (No.1) followed by the Cleveland Browns are making things sound complicated about Hunter? Browns GM Andrew Berry goes on to state that given the opportunity, Hunter will most likely play wide receiver and punt returner but that does not mean we should rule out the eligibility of Hunter’s abilities on both sides of the field.

    Last year at Colorado, Hunter played 86.8 percent of offensive snaps for Colorado while on the defensive side, he performed 82.9% of reps. Just think about that, traveling back and forth, from play call to executional work.

    Hunter has the ability to go the distance whether offense, defense, special teams or splitting it meticulously to start the season with the Tennessee Titans or Cleveland Browns.

    The Titans coach Brian Callahan has said to be cautious but there is also the Cleveland Browns who have not been successful in finding a premier athlete such as Hunter and begging he does not get hurt. It could be a win unlike the column shows in Cleveland.

    The NFL Draft Combine begins Thursday, February 27 and expect Travis Hunter to turn some scouts’ faces along the other likes of Abdul Carter, Tyler Warren, and Ashton Jeanty.

  • Are the Cowboys Unveiling ‘Too’ Much?

    Are the Cowboys Unveiling ‘Too’ Much?

    The Dallas Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones recently pointed out that the team plan to be ‘selectively aggressive.’

    Cause for concern, you might ask?

    Of course, when you consider the 2024 offseason moves such as Rico Dowdle, Stephon Gilmore, and Tyron Smith just to name a few.

    Dowdle was a key cog in their offense but as for Smith and Gilmore. They did not succeed to have one of their most prime years in a Cowboys uniform.

    As for the rookies, Tyler Guyton had a weak rookie season and will work with the new coaches on staff to deliver a redeemable and Marshawn Breeland seems to be a highlight reel, at least, waiting.

    He accumulated an average PFF rating and put up decent pressure numbers to finish 2024.

    But the main issue, once again lingers back to the mouth of the Jones’ family. If they just let the darn team go out and play football for one year or two, they might be on to some better traction.

    Instead, poorly judged remarks at the wrong time enter a wrong phase of Cowboys football and the entire NFC East.

  • Edmonton Hangover

    Edmonton Hangover

    The 4 Nations play comes to a close as now the Edmonton Oilers find themselves in a bit of a hole. That has begun with captain of Edmonton, Conor McDavid. He has only accrued one power play assist in the last two games. Not so Conor McDavid after his pickup win over USA.

    He said the following, “We haven’t been very good. Just getting back to work. Sometimes this happens after breaks. Some teams come up flying. Some teams come up flat. We have obviously done the latter. So yeah, gotta get back to it.”

    Even though he was not Team Canada captain, Sidney Crosby, I respect his leadership but not his accountability. This has been the eying problem of McDavid from time to time especially against the Philadelphia Flyers, to no fault are in a rebuilding phase and look great with rookie Matvei Michkov and John Tortorella trying to prove on his resume he can take a seed and rise to the occasion.

    All that aside, they did also play Alexander Ovechkin and the defense cannot allow errors in the marginal column when it enters the postseason. It is highly touted with Darnell Nurse and Evan Bouchard.

    Nurse is in fact the nephew of star quarterback Donovan McNabb and comes to the aid when necessary. Edmonton cannot afford to lose out because if they do, the Calgary Flames or Vancouver Canucks might creep up, and you do not want that, Edmonton, Canada.

  • Yankees Continue to Shock

    Yankees Continue to Shock

    First, the New York Yankees reached the 2024 World Series vs. the Dodgers and wound up losing. Secondly, they end up losing star RF Juan Soto to free agency and now.

    The Yankees want to eliminate their beard policy after 49 years in order to hypothetically win.

    That stands correct. After having arguably an abysmal offseason, and not acquiring the likes of rumored Nolan Arenado or Boston Red Sox rival, Alex Bregman. They have decided this would be the best course of action for some of their players including Austin Wells and Devin Williams.

    Austin Wells was shocked himself when discovering the news as George Steinbrenner, the father of Hal, would not allow this back in the 1950’s of U.S. Air Forces services. Wells simply always kept a beard during the offseason.

    Meanwhile, Williams he simply did not want to shave his beard which could explain the theory on some players not being attracted to New York. Williams’ contract expires at the end of 2025.

    What we have learned, however, is that despite the move to alter course with well-groomed beards, the Yankees are desperately doing whatever they can to stay the number one viable contender in Major League Baseball.

    It has not happened in quite sometime but if you ask me. The New York Mets are beginning to reign territory and so are the defending 2024 World Series champions, Los Angeles Dodgers.

  • What is Going on with the White Sox

    What is Going on with the White Sox

    The Chicago White Sox have been a staple in their respective, AL Central division, for years now. It comes off the heels of a successful 2005 World Series run where do you remember AJ Pierzynski still calling himself a rockstar in the city that embraced him for a period of time.

    Fast forward to today, the White Sox and top rival Minnesota Twins are banking searching for a curable answer to their ownership positions.

    The latest sources I can gather is the Twins are still out of proponent luck. They have been in more dire need of money than the White Sox for some time and as things stand clearly, a third-party is ready make an offer to the Chicago White Sox and Bulls owner, Jerry Reinsdorf.

    It begs the question, with rules involving no such shortcuts, how Justin Ishbia got here. As a minority stake Chicago owner, he tried desperately to attack the buying thought of the Chicago shore where he is from and making a full-time offer.

    Come to find out, he is left in disarray and so is mostly Minnesota as Spring Training starts to near.

    Will their be a majority owner come regular season?

    Are the Chicago White Sox really players?

    Come to find out, yes they are, as the deadline nears Friday and it is likely according to the Athletic, local suburban native after four years finally receives his wish and owns the White Sox, Mr. Justin Ishbia, ironically but tragically, yet again for Twins fans.
