Final Blog Post

As the year in sports is about to end, we’re coming up to the best part of  the NFL,  the season is almost over which means playoffs are around the corner.

The regular season for college football is over. Now it’s bowl season time, where the National Championship game looks very attractive. You have Florida State and Heisman finalist Jameis Winston against the Auburn who also has a finalist in Tre Mason.

The freshman darlings has made college basketball a must watch this season. The NBA has so many storylines from will Miami win its third consecutive championship, will Kobe Bryant flourish coming off a debilitating Achilles injury, and is the Portland Trailblazers the real deal.

I’ve had a great time on this blog, talking about what I want when I want. If I want to boast about Lebron’s greatness, I will. If I want to talk about the Patriots demise, I will.  If I want to talk about how Kobe is selfish for taking a two-year $48.5 million deal, I will.

Thank you for reading the blog and I'm out.

Cano, Show Me The MMMOOONNNEEEYYY!

In the movie Jerry Maguire, Maguire screams show me the money while on the phone with his player.

Jay-z, Cano’s agent, delivered on his first contract negotiations. He signed Cano to a 10-year $240 million deal. This is a blockbuster deal, in which Cano will leave the Yankees for the Mariners.

Obviously Cano doesn’t care about winning another World Series title. He left one of the greatest franchise in sports for Seattle.

Seattle is a beautiful city, but it’s not New York. When Jacoby Ellsbury signed his free agent deal with the Yankees, it seemed that Cano was out the door.

The Yankees and Cano both made mistakes by not signing a contract with each other. We’ll see how much better Seattle got with Cano when the season begins.

In recent memory these monster contracts have failed. Look at the Angels, they gave two ridiculous contracts to Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton. Now Angels will have to eat over $300 million in salary.

Oregon Tight End Suspended for Snow Ball Fight?

Oregon Ducks tight end Pharaoh Brown has been suspended for Duck’s upcoming bowl game.

Brown was not caught drinking underage, doing drugs, or speeding. He was suspended in his role in an organized snowball fight.

Yes, a snow ball fight, in Oregon where the streets are filled with snow. With finals coming up, the organized snowball fight was suppose to relive stress from students.

From the video clips I’ve watched it seemed harmless. How can you pick out one student-athlete and say he’s suspended.

There wasn’t any ramification for the other students involved in a snowball fight.  It’s absurd the way the University of Oregon is treating Brown.

If Oregon would actually beat Stanford and get to a nation championship, then Brown probably wouldn’t be suspended.

Brown is a kid in college enjoying a snowball, what’s next we’re going to suspend players for drinking too much eggnog. 

RG III Shut Down For The Season

Robert Griffin III will not be throwing interceptions or being sacked this upcoming Sunday.

Head Coach Mike Shanahan has deactivated RG III for the rest of the season. The motivation for Shanahan’s decision is that he wants to be fired. Under Shanahan the Washington Redskins have three losing seasons and one playoff birth. 

His decision to keep RG III in last years playoff game has been highly criticized.  Now that RG III is healthy, he decides to bench him. It seems Shanahan’s time with the Skins is inevitable over.

The Redskins have been a circus this season, with dysfunctional locker room. This falls squarely on the head coach.

Shanahan a two-time Super Bowl championship coach, has not figured out the correct formula in the nation’s capitol. RG III will have to take this off-season to improve his quarterback play and the Skins need to find a coach who will embrace Griffin.

With expectation of winning their division, the fans will have to look forward to the 2014 draft.
