  • Who won the Jermaine Johnson-T’Vondre Sweat trade?

    Jermaine Johnson, a former 2022 first round New York Jets draft pick, was traded to the Tennessee Titans for T’Vondre Sweat. Sweat only a 2024 second-round pick scored big time in this trade. Even though the Jets are not highly secure in edge rushers, Aaron Glenn will have plenty of restocking to do with the Jets popular defense.

    New York has always played it safe when its come to the defense of the city. Glenn, Bowles, Ryan, Saleh all being defensive minds, this is the blossoming opportunity to acquire back a huge bolt of potential.

    The DT depth is safe and sound with Sweat finishing well as a run stopper. Sweat adds to what faces the Jets long-term future.

    As for Johnson, he enables himself to reconnect with former coach Saleh. Saleh will have every right to feel passionate and strong about his job further in Tennessee.

    Johnson also contributed on special teams and was vocal in the protection of the kicker. When it all comes down to it, the Jets won the huge trade because it shows Tennessee is in it for the short haul of reestablishing Cam Ward in a sloppy team performance of his rookie season.

  • Seattle Seahawks win Super Bowl LX

    The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX by a final score of 29-13. Both, the New England Patriots and Seahawks, were back and forth on special teams, but defense showed that it defines championships.

    Drake Maye was sacked six times while the Seattle defense went to work. Maye led the NFL in completion percentage (72%) and passer rating (113.5) and was said to be affected by a shoulder injury. Maye tried in this game after defeating the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship and struggled.

    The game pretty much ended with insult to injury by Uchenna Nwosu. He ultimately ran back a turnover 45 yards into the end zone for a touchdown.

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba only caught four passes for 27 reception yards. Nobody could have predicted a better game out of Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker as he finished with a productive 135 rushing yards.

    First-year coach Mike Vrael was not feeling it like he did in the regular season. He went on to win Coach of the Year and, at least, break some barriers. Now that Super Bowl 60 is completed, fans can start to look forward to Super LXI with Seattle and the Los Angeles Rams as co-favorites to win in 2027, according to Draft Kings sports book.

  • Sam Darnold Proves Anything is Possible

    Sam Darnold proves anything is possible when it comes down to football. He is hot, flavorful, and touchy. He has defied all odds showing in the stage of Super Bowl LX.

    Former teammate Christian McCaffrey recently said that Darnold shows to practice, ready. No whining or complaining, he takes over the spotlight and runs with it, just like McCaffrey. McCaffrey is a fast runner and smooth talker.

    Darnold began this journey when he suited for the New York stinking Jets and had to revive his career. From all the doubters to jokers, he proved anything was possible.

    First game as part of the Jets, he was alright, but then Carolina, San Francisco, and Minnesota, he showed up to make a great impact, and that took a toll on Justin Jefferson, when he said that the Vikings should have kept Darnold. So much for former Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. He lost his job when J.J. McCarthy was counted too.

    To digress, however, Darnold has made it clear that his teammates love him. His style translates to today’s game. And makings of a NFL Films special is possible.

    You are watching Super LX live on NBC, February 8 at 6:30 pm EST, with a whole lot on the line. Dignity, pride, effort, and sweat all at the chagrin of Sam Darnold’s NFL legacy.

    Seahawks, win. 28-27.

  • Sean Mannion Presents a Huge Risk

    Sean Mannion was hired as Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator on Thursday. After two years removed from coaching, he is now stepping in the reigns of the Eagles offense.

    Mannion presents a huge risk as the Eagles had work through this type of experience, once before. However, the Eagles are relying on his experience with coaches such as Matt Lafleur, Sean McVay, and Kevin O’Connell and league longevity.

    Mannion had spent 11 years in the league, both as a player and coach and cannot afford to present a huge risk. The Eagles had the most expensive offense last year and Hurts spent years with different offensive play-callers.

    The Eagles can at least afford to have a Shane Steichen or Kellen Moore on board and shape the Eagles offense. Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll both interviewed for the position and let’s just say.

    McDaniel would have been the right hire if this team had not been ready to retool and prepare for another Super Bowl run.

  • Correct and Wrong of the Weekend

    Wrong

    I was wrong about Paddy Pimblett, yet. He is not quite ready for a professional is level and maturity such as Justin Gaethje, turning into one of the greatest lightweights in a long time.

    Correct

    The Seattle Seahawks would match up in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots. Since 2015, these two teams have not met.

    The Pats became the most all-time to ever advance to their 12th Super Bowl. The Pats could be singing a good praise but I am sticking to my original score.

    SEA 28, NE 27

  • Bo Nixed

    Bo Nix has been nixed from the NFL playoffs after undergoing ankle surgery. He will miss 12 weeks of action as this comes a critical time for the Denver Broncos.

    They face the New England Patriots on Sunday at 3 ET for the AFC title and the rights to go to Super Bowl 60. Jarrett Stidham will replace him.

    Stidham known for his crucial career at Auburn and extending it to New England and Denver, will have all eyes on him. Stidham must win this game to go on to the next round and face either the Seattle Seahawks or Los Angeles Rams.

  • The Heisman Dive that Caught it All

    Fernando Mendoza has been a sensational quarterback this season for the Indiana Hoosiers and went on to win the Heisman award for best male college football athlete.

    Last night against his hometown of Miami, he won again, this time diving into the end zone for a game-winning touchdown. It could be seen by a massive audience at home and the crowd waiting back at Indiana.

    Mendoza lighted up the spotlight with his smile and sent one home for the Indiana Hoosiers. They became national champions for the first time ever under Curt Cignetti and what was laughable is coach‘s remarks stating he would celebrate to a beer beverage following the biggest win of the program’s history.

    Mendoza did not know where he would play in his illustrious college career and it just so happened his brother, Alberto, entered the transfer portal, as of this morning. But, what shaped the foundation of Indiana, was Mendoza’s commitment to excellence after Indiana won only three games in 2023.

    They ran it back and won because of Mendoza’s culpability to handle pressure and mastermind the Indiana offense. For that, Mendoza is awarded an A+.

  • What is Next for the Buffalo Bills?

    It has been announced by Buffalo Bills brass that Sean McDermott is no longer with the team.

    This comes as bit of a shock as McDermott stood up for Buffalo in his exit press conference. McDermott was a leader in Buffalo that storied the good and hard times.

    One felt hard enough to swallow when the Bills lost to the Denver Broncos 30-33 this past weekend. Some non-supporters of the decision have LeSean McCoy puzzled.

    McDermott led the Bills to two AFC championships and Wild Card/divisional rounds that resulted in a loss. Brandon Beane now steps in as general manager to find the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills.

    When asked about the positivity of the move, owner Terry Pegula stood up with a yes morale saying this would take Bills Mafia to the next level.

    QB Josh Allen will turn 30 in May. It leads into question whether he can sustain the hard drive of the team and carry it to its first ever Super Bowl.

    The four falls of Buffalo is available on ESPN 30 for 30 as it reimagines what the Bills culture is like today without multiple Super Bowls to their prestige case. The Bills will be searching for a new head coach and it better be sensationally good, especially arriving to a different home stadium.
