Adam Gase is the worst coach in the NFL.
The Jets are the worst team in the NFL (The Bengals and Dolphins don’t count as teams anymore….).
Leonard Williams is now the Giants’ problem.
Hello 3rd round pick. Goodbye $4 Million.
It’s time to trade everything not tied down.

LeBron James has made himself perfectly clear, sort of, not really, well NOT AT ALL ACTUALLY!!
I wonder what it’s like to tell the world someone else is uneducated and then speak in unintelligible gibberish….
All those who said the Jaguars wouldn’t get Two 1st-Round picks for Jalen Ramsey look very silly right now.
The Yankees need to do a rain dance..in a hurry.
The Nationals will lose every bit of momentum they ever had and will lose in the World Series….in 5 games.
Have an awesome, rainy day!!!!

The Houston Texans don’t have a General Manager. That was never more apparent than this past Sunday.
But hey, it’s not like people’s jobs depend on these moves….right??
The NFL has turned into a revolving door of, “What team are you on again?!”
3 Days And Counting!!

There is plenty of fallout from the Andrew Luck retirement.
The AFC South has been flipped on its head.
The NFL MVP race will never be the same.
And QB Rankings have opened up endless oppostunities.
But mostly, you can still leave him alone.

Rest In Peace Don Banks.
If the Yankees send 1 more player to the IL, I’m going to scream!!!!

You can go to Training Camp. I’m not going. You can go if you want, but I’m not going.
No, seriously, you can go. I mean I’ll show up if you pay me. If not, I’ll be at home, with my feet up, chillin’.
Seriously….pay me, or I’m not showing u….
Okay, I’m going to start counting:
1….2….What do you mean you don’t care??
What do you mean you’ll just replace me??
Well this doesn’t seem fair….

I’m confused!!
Evidently, so are the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Saturday, the Jaguars extended the contract of Blake Bortles through the 2020 season. The deal is for 3-years, $54 million, including $26.5 million of guaranteed money. I literally fell off my couch when this story broke.
This decision by Tom Coughlin, Vice President of Football Operations, makes no sense, for a multitude of reasons:
1.) Bortles’ contract didn’t need extending. The Jaguars already picked up his option (in May) for 2019 for $19.053 million.
2.) Bortles had wrist surgery this off season, creating doubt that he’ll be healthy for the start of the 2019 season.
3.) Bortles SUCKS at quarterback!!
This decision, guarantees the Jaguars will not win a Super Bowl. After reaching the AFC Championship last season, the Jaguars should have realized what the rest of the world did; they’re just 1 player away from being a Super Bowl contender. With a top-3 defense, a great running game, and a good offensive line, the only missing piece to the puzzle is a competent gunslinger. Blake Bortles is not the answer.

It’s never too early for the hits to start coming for the New York Mets. No, not hits on a baseball field; “hits” as in injuries. Dominic Smith, the pudgy wonder, will undergo an MRI for a strained right quad today. After showing up late to his first Spring Training game, Smith isn’t exactly having the ‘best week ever’.
In other Mets’ injury news, Tim Tebow sprained his ankle running over a sprinkler head. I’m embarrassed to even be writing his name, but this kind of comedy is too good to pass up….
____________________________________________________________________________
LeBron James lost to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, 110-94. Despite posting 33 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 assists in 40 minutes, LeBron and “new look” company got outclassed on their own court. Rather than discuss ways his team can improve, LeBron felt it necessary to complain about the referees:
“There’s no reason I should be going to the line four times in a game when I drive 100 times to the paint and I’m getting hit and slapped and grabbed and whatever and whatnot. We protect the shooter. That’s what it’s turned into. ‘Chicks dig the long ball,’ and that’s what it’s about.”
Listen, Little LeBron, while chicks definitely dig the long ball, quit your crying and complaining. It’s not a good look for the “face” of the NBA….
Like, Love, or Hate Blake Bortles’ contract extension?? I’ll give you a hint, there’s only one right answer….

Many different paths often lead to the same place. For some, that place is familiar. For others, it’s folklore. That place is the Super Bowl. To understand how the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles’ paths led to Super Bowl LII, we must look to Championship Sunday: 1 part same old story, 1 part shock and awe….
What Else Is New?!
No Gronk, no problem.
The New England Patriots deserve praise. Hell, they deserve their own holiday on the calendar. What the Patriots continue to do, against the toughest of odds, is incredible. The Jets fan inside dies a little bit every time I compliment the Patriots.
Tom Brady received stitches on his throwing hand just days prior to the AFC Championship. It didn’t matter. The Patriots were down 14-3 in the 1st half. It didn’t matter. The Patriots lost Rob Gronkowski (concussion) for the game just before halftime. It didn’t matter. The Patriots were down 10 points, with 9 minutes to play. It didn’t matter. No matter the adversity, they persevere.
In any significant Patriots’ victory, there’s always a play that stands out. A play you can point to, and say, there it is, NOW they’re going to win. Most teams wouldn’t understand. 3rd & 18, down 10, with 10:49 to play, Brady connected with Danny Amendola for a 1st down (21 yards). It sounds simple, but it embodies the Patriots’ spirit. This is why scoring a game-winning touchdown, with 2:10 to play, is not as dramatic as it sounds. A Patriots’ victory was never in doubt.
The Jaguars, however, deserve credit (sort of). They played a near perfect 1st half, carrying a 14-10 lead into the locker room. The offensive play calling was perfect, easy throws for Blake Bortles and plenty of rushing attempts. Bortles impressed, completing 17 of 23 passes (73.9%) in the 1st half. But then, Bortles turned back into a pumpkin, going 6 for 13 (46.1%) in the 2nd half. And that, as they say, was all she wrote.
With their 24-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the New England Patriots will play in their 8th Super Bowl in the last 17 years (10th appearance in their history). They’ll look to win back-to-back Super Bowls for the 1st time since 2004, when they defeated the Eagles (24-21). For New England, the cast of characters are practically the same. As for Philadelphia, it’s a lifetime ago.
I Did Not See That Coming!!
The Philadelphia Eagles entered the NFC Championship as underdogs. They left as champions. Despite being underdogs in consecutive games, the Eagles have overcome. Doubt. Injury. Public perception. They overcame it all and find themselves in their 3rd Super Bowl in franchise history.
If you tried to adjust your television set during yesterday’s game, you weren’t the only one. I thought there was a Tom Brady sighting in both games too. Yes, Nick Foles played that good of a game. Foles, who finished with 352 yards passing and 3 touchdowns, tore up a stringent, Vikings defense. This was a Vikings defense who ranked top-5 in nearly every statistical category during the regular season.
After a dramatic win over the Saints in the Divisional Round, it appeared the Vikings were simply happy to be here.
The Vikings marched down the field on the opening drive for a touchdown. Then continued to force a punt on the Eagles’ 1st possession. The city of Philadelphia was probably collectively hurling things at their TVs. But after an interception returned for a touchdown, it was all Eagles. With 14:10 left to play, the Eagles took a 38-7 lead, and I, turned off my TV.
Did you doubt the Patriots yesterday?? Did Nick Foles play the best game of his career?? Tell me the truth in the comment section below.

And then there were 4.
Wellllll, there’s really only 1, but technically 4 teams can still win the Super Bowl. With just 2 days left until Championship Sunday, final preparations are being made by 3 guys still trying to figure out how they arrived at this moment — and Tom Brady. Blake Bortles, Nick Foles, and Case Keenum are living proof you can ride someone else’s coattails to the promised land.
(3) Jacksonville Jaguars @ (1) New England Patriots – 3:05 P.M. EST (CBS)
All those who were excited to watch the Steelers take on the Patriots, we have an excellent consolation prize for you….
Blake Bortles.
No, you can’t return your prize!
Blake Bortles is getting ready to play in the biggest game of his life. Hopefully he bought his coaching staff, defense, and running game something nice, for without them Bortles wouldn’t be in the NFL anymore, let alone in the AFC Championship. The question this Sunday is:
Can this Jaguars defense follow the “beat Tom Brady blueprint”??
Listen, the Patriots are not losing, at home, to the Jaguars. But, if, and that’s a big IF, they lose, it’ll be under very specific conditions.
Here are the conditions (all of the below must happen):
1.) The Jaguars must sack Tom Brady at least 5 times
2.) The Jaguars must intercept Tom Brady at least once
3.) The Jaguars’ defense must score at least 7 points
4.) Blake Bortles must throw 0 interceptions
If the world finds itself in an alternate universe on Sunday, and ALL of these things occur, Blake Bortles will play in a Super Bowl.
Until then, I’ll confidently pick Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and the Patriots to play in their 8th Super Bowl in the past 17 years. And for all my gullible fans, Tom Brady IS NOT HURT!! His hand is fine. This is a typical, very simple, Belichick mind game. We’ve been watching this same channel for nearly 2 decades now.
Prediction: Patriots 30, Jaguars 20
(2) Minnesota Vikings @ (1) Philadelphia Eagles – 6:40 P.M. EST (FOX)
The Minnesota Vikings are still riding high after the most dramatic playoff victory in NFL history. The question is:
Will that help or hurt them come Sunday??
The Vikings are looking to become the 1st team in NFL history to host a Super Bowl. But first, they must escape from a hostile Philadelphia environment with a victory. This is a very even matchup. Both teams play very solid defense. Both teams have an above average rushing attack. And both teams are well coached.
While both quarterbacks aren’t being confused with MVP candidates anytime soon, it’s safe to say the Vikings have an advantage under center. The Vikings also have the edge on defense, as this is as good a defense as the NFL has seen since the Seattle Seahawks “Legion of Boom”. The Eagles’ home field advantage offsets all of the above, making this game a “pick ’em” in my mind. Sit back, relax, and enjoy another tight one.
Prediction: Vikings 20, Eagles 19
Final Thought: Why the hell do these games have to start so late?!?! What, because it’s Championship Weekend, the games need to be played at “special” times?!?! I don’t understand. It’s Sunday. I’ve been watching football games at 1:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M. EST all year. Why must I stay awake until 11:00 P.M. to watch this game?!?!
On that note, enjoy the games!!
