Before Sam Darnold was set to enter the NFL Draft out of USC, he was considered a CAN'T-MISS NFL PROSPECT. Yeah, okay. And now, just 3 years later (and a QB Record of 13-25) Darnold has been sent packing to Carolina for 2nd, 4th, and 6th round picks.
And while I'm trying to convince myself to be mad about this....I'm just not.
I kinda like it....What do you think??
Listen, I love baseball as much as the next guy or gal, but that doesn't mean Major League Baseball is perfect and should never ever change.
Baseball has, and needs to continue to change with the times.
However, MLB continues to make all of the WRONG CHANGES!!
Today, I break down the DUMBEST rule change in the history of sports...
Francisco Lindor may as well take over for Steve Cohen, because after he took the Mets' lunch AND dinner money, Lindor might as well become the official owner of the team. Lindor signed a 10-year, $341 million contract following some masterful negotiation tactics. Good for you Senor Lindor!!
Listen up Packers fans:
I know you're upset, distraught, and depressed after another brutal loss in an NFC Championship Game. But remember, you still have Aaron Rodgers, which means you still have a chance. And despite his Eeyore like press conference following their loss to the Bucs, RODGERS ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE!!!!
TRUST ME!!
BUT, if Deshaun Watson can find his way to the New York Jets....THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!
With the NFC Championship on the line, Matt LaFleur made one of the most boneheaded decisions in the history of football. And, you guessed it, I'm not here to defend him, or make him feel better.
NOPE!!
We're here to make him feel even worse about himself. Enjoy.
Every year the NFL sees a lot of turnover for head coaching positions. This year, 7 head coaching vacancies could be found. So far, 6 of them have been filled:
Jets - Robert Saleh
Chargers - Brandon Staley
Eagles - Nick Sirianni
Falcons - Arthur Smith
Jaguars - Urban Meyer
Lions - Dan Campbell
Texans - ????
Urban Meyer we know. Robert Saleh we like. And Dan Campbell.....Dan Campbell may be an actual, real-life, eat-or-be-eaten, psychopath.
YUP.
Philip Rivers announced his retirement this past Wednesday after 17 hard-fought seasons. Rivers is 1 of many all-time great QBs who is set to retire within the next 5 years.
IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND PHILIP RIVERS IS A HOF'er....WE CAN NEVER BE FRIENDS!!!!
That is all!
Normally, the NY Jets are the laughing stock of the NFL, making poor decision after poor decision.
But, Thursday, marks a day when the Jets did something.....dare I say it......SMART!
Disgruntled, long-suffering Jets' fans..Meet Robert Saleh..The man in charge..The man who's excited to here, and he's going to let you know it.
If nothing else, be ready to jump up and down NY!
James Harden has been a disgruntled employee of the Houston Rockets for some time now. And Wednesday, his dream finally came true....he was shipped out of Houston to Brooklyn to join his buddies Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
As talented as these 3 human beings are, there is no guarantee this project will result in a championship.
Only time will tell, but unless this perfect storm of psychos falls just right, it could be a long, drama-filled, ENTERTAINING, DUMPSTER-FIRE!!
DAVE expresses his anger and frustration toward Kyrie Irving not showing up to work simply because he doesn't feel like it.
DAVE thinks Kyrie Irving is the most overrated, overhyped NBA player of all-time.
And, no team should have to put up with his CRAP!!!!
FINE, SUSPEND, AND/OR CUT KYRIE IRVING....TODAY!!!!
