But Lamar won an MVP 4 years ago!!!!!!!!! You have to wonder if Schefter included that part at the end because of all the talk lately about Lamar not having an agent. Normally we don’t care about who the agent is that negotiated the contract, they’re not even part of the story really at all… Read More Jalen Hurts Secures The Bag, Becomes Highest Paid Player in NFL History
Okay, I know I’m a little late with this as we are through Game 1 in every playoff series (I am typing this up in the middle of the Minnesota/Denver Game 1). So I’m going to cheat a little bit, but also, I made this bracket before the playoffs started and so these are my… Read More 2023 NBA Playoff Predictions
Okay, the play-in round starts tomorrow night and then the playoffs begin on Saturday. We are in it now, folks. The NBA playoffs are my favorite of any sport. The NFL playoffs are just too short, too fleeting. There are only actually 13 NFL playoff games each year. It’s like once you hit Divisional Round,… Read More Sizing Up the 2023 NBA Playoff Field
It is official! Well, it’s been official for 25 days now, but it is now publicly official… at least I think it is: Lamar really could use a publicist who would’ve been able to edit this statement and make it a bit easier to read and understand, but I’m going to assume he doesn’t have… Read More Lamar Jackson (Tweeted that he) Wants to be Traded (But for Some Reason Waited 25 Days to Make it Public)
A few weeks ago, a third straight MVP for Nikola Jokic was thought to be all but in the bag. But as of March 16, Joel Embiid had overtaken Jokic in the MVP race. Sportsbooks now have him as the favorite, and by a fair margin: He’s -250 at FanDuel, while Jokic has plummeted to… Read More Joel Embiid Has Passed Nikola Jokic in the MVP Race
By now it’s well-publicized that Lamar Jackson refuses to hire an agent, presumably to save himself the 3% cut an agent takes out of a client’s contract. (NFL agents are not permitted to take more than 3%). Maybe it’s not purely financial; maybe it’s a principle thing–like Lamar feels as if he can negotiate a… Read More I Hate to Say it, But Lamar Jackson is an Idiot For Not Hiring An Agent
We are about a month and a half away from the 2023 NFL Draft, which starts on Thursday April 27 in Kansas City. We’re past the Combine and the predictable explosion of hype over Underwear Olympics Champion Anthony Richardson, and we’ve already seen the Bears trade the #1 pick to the Panthers which means the… Read More The Best Quarterback in the 2023 NFL Draft Is…
From ESPN’s Dianna Russini: I am going to go ahead and assume that during their sit down, Rodgers promised them that he would be willing to play for at least two more seasons. I know the Jets are desperate but I doubt they’re dumb enough to trade for just one season of Aaron Rodgers. I… Read More Report: Jets Optimistic they are “on the brink” of Acquiring Aaron Rodgers Via Trade
In a recent post, I offered a defense for Nikola Jokic’s case for earning his third straight MVP. I argued that he’s having a better season than Joel Embiid, his team is in first place in the West, his team’s lack of playoff success the past two years isn’t his fault, and that we shouldn’t… Read More The Real Reason Nikola Jokic is About to Win His Third Straight MVP (It’s Not Racial Bias)
So the deadline has arrived today, March 7. The Ravens and Lamar Jackson were unable to reach an agreement on a long term contract, and so the Ravens have placed the “nonexclusive” franchise tag on him, which is valued at $32 million a year. Of course, nobody really believes Lamar is going to play on… Read More I Wouldn’t Give Lamar Jackson the Contract He’s Asking For
