Super Bowl 52 was Sunday and the Philadelphia Eagles won their title since 1960. It wasn’t even called the Super Bowl back then when the Eagles won their last NFL title. The media has tried to portray this as a huge upset because all of the Las Vegas sports books had the Eagles as the underdog. If you watched the Eagles all season you would know that this probably wasn’t that big of an upset. They had the better offensive line, better defense and in my opinion better offensive weapons outside of Rob Gronkowski who I consider to be the tight end of all time. The talk before the game was can Nick Foles not blow the game, is the moment too big for him, can he be clutch against the greatest accomplishment quarterback of all time? He answered yes is a resounding fashion. He didn’t just outplay Tom Brady who had 505 yards and 3 touchdowns. But he played just as great at him by 28/43 for 373 yards and 3 touchdowns with one interception. Here’s the catch, he also caught a touchdown pa...

The NFL season has come to a close and there is a lot stories going to be talked about. You have Tom Brady being in the front for MVP, Todd Gurley and the Los Angeles Rams turning it around after being awful last year, and also the Minnesota Vikings being the number 2 seed with a former backup quarterback. There are a bunch of other stories that we can talk about, but there’s one big one in my opinion that’s honestly not getting enough attention. Roger Goodell most likely single handily ruined the Dallas Cowboys season with his vendetta against their running back Ezekiel Elliott. Elliot was suspended 6 games at the beginning of this NFL season for being charged with domestic violence against his ex girlfriend. The NFL did their investigation into the accusations and came to the conclusion that Elliott should be suspended because of what they found. As the news came out about what happen that night, and one big then happened. We found out that Elliott wasn’t convicted of any cr...

Joel Embiid, Joel Embiid. That’s the person getting a lot of buzz during the early part of the NBA season. The buzz is very warranted because Embiid has been dominating this NBA season. He is averaging 22.8 points and 10.9 rebounds a game. The thing is he doing this in 29 minutes a game! The way he moves for a 7 footer is insane. He can put the ball on the floor and post up with the best of them. 3 years ago, when he was drafted number 3 by Philadelphia 76ers he was injured. It was soon known that he would miss the whole 2014-2015 season with foot problems. The season goes on and the rumors about Embiid not being able to play the 2015-2016 season due to the same problems. Critics start questioning the 76ers management saying that they wasted a top 3 pick on a player that’s always injured. This seemed be the story of Embiid going forward. We all knew that he was talented, he probably would’ve went first in the 2014 NBA Draft because he was better than everyone else. The injury conc...

Cleveland is going through a bad start of season. People want to get on LeBron and company and say they not making the NBA finals again. They say they are too old not good enough to go through the eastern conference. Most of these are the people that want to see LeBron fail, but some of the “experts” on slots channels have been trying to doubt that Cleveland can make the finals again. I just don’t understand why people cast doubt on Cleveland knowing that they are going to the finals barring any catastrophic injury. One of the reasons I have Cleveland in the NBA finals in 2018 is because the Eastern conference isn’t all that good to be honest. Right now you can’t even tell me who’s the second best team in the Eastern Conference. Everyone thought it was going to be the Boston Celtics and they still might be, but that big injury to Gordon Hayward will make it hard for the Celtics to be be the definite second best team. Kyrie Irving is doing his best to lead his new team this season ...

Kyrie Irving wanted his chance to show that he can be the man. The chance came all the around last night when Gordon Hayward had one of the worst injuries we’ve ever seen. Hayward broke his tibia and fractured his ankle in his Boston debut. The injury hit everyone in the arena hard. It happened right in front of the Cavs bench area and you could see the reaction when they realized what happened. This is an terrible injury and it leaves the Boston Celtics not knowing what to expect from this season anymore. Kyrie said he wanted to grow as a player and a leader and this is where it comes in now. He has to lead a team of young players and Al Horford to the playoffs. The bad rep that Kyrie gets is that he didn’t go to the playoffs in the 3 seasons he led the Cavs. That’s not fair to him because those Cavs teams were terrible and he was injured and missed a lot of games. Kyrie does have to people wrong. Some people think him leading a team just isn’t for him. They think him being t...

In basketball you have different roles for different players on different teams. A good team is created by people knowing their roles an executing these roles to their best ability. In the NBA, you can find people that know how to play their role like a Tony Allen who’s in the game for defense and etc.. These different players can help your team go far in the playoffs and win championships down the line. Usually superstars have their role on offense: Do what you have to for your team to have a chance to win the game. That involves them having the ball to create scoring plays for their teammates or create scoring opportunities for themselves. This comes with being the best player on the basketball team most of the time. If you’re not the Warriors, Cavs, Blazers or the Thunder before Kevin’s Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder if you have a person that can get create their own shot in a close clutch game AND get their teammates involved throughout the game you probably only ha...

How much does certain things keep you relevant? Does things you did years and years ago make you just all popular or all time good? That's the question we ask about the New York Football Giants and their quarterback Eli Manning. The Manning name is big around the NFL as Eli's dad Archie played in the NFL and his brother Peyton is an all time great NFL QB with some NFL records. Eli has won 2 Super Bowls and he beat Tom Brady in both. That seems to carry on his legacy like no other. If you actually look at the play he shouldn't be regarded as a top level QB. Before the 2016 season he missed the playoffs 4 seasons in a row. If you bring up Eli's name everybody would bring up the 2 super bowl seasons the Giants had under his lead. They never bring up any other good seasons that he's had or anything else he's done because he really hasn't done much outside the 2 championships. When you break down someone's career and you look at the overall productio...
