Month: January 2018

On Saturday, newly returned Rudy Gobert had a solid game with 16 points, seven rebounds and three blocks in 28 minutes, while his big-man cohort Derrick Favors was even better with 14 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during a win over the LA Clippers. However, it should be noted that this type of strong dual performance from both Utah Jazz big men has been few and far between this season.

Authentic Womens Adam Foote Jersey Favors was once thought to be the power forward of the future in Utah, but injuries derailed his past couple of seasons right around the time Gobert was developing into the franchise center of the now and future in Utah.

Portland currently has the fifth-largest payroll in the league at around $123 million, largely due to the summer of 2016 when the billion-dollar television revenue deal kicked in. However, the Trail Blazers are miles away from being in the same class as championship-contending teams.

Evan Turner, Turner signed for four years and $70 million, Harkless re-signed at four years, $40 million, and Leonard re-upped for four years, $41 million. But Turner has drastically underperformed, while Harkless and Leonard are out of the rotation altogether.

Furthermore, the contracts of Andrew Nicholson ($2.8 million annually), Anderson Varejao ($1.9 million annually) and Festus Ezeli ($333,333 annually) are stretched out to 2024, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Then again, the playoffs are an entirely different season that once felt impossible to predict. There has been a recent run of Super Bowls featuring high-seeded teams, but it wasn’t that long ago when a lower-seeded surprise emerged seemingly every year. (The 2007 Giants, ’08 Cardinals, 2011 Giants and ’12 Ravens come to mind.)

This postseason, with eight teams that weren’t in last season’s playoffs and a truly wide-open NFC, appears more ripe for insanity than any in the last five years. Let’s take a quick look at the playoff field before the madness starts:

The Rams have the most balanced team Drew Brees Jersey in the NFL, ranking in the top-six in Football Outsiders’ efficiency metrics on offense, defense and special teams. Los Angeles caught a break Sunday when the Saints lost in Tampa, preserving the Rams’ No. 3 seed and a greater chance to host the NFC Championship Game.

Mayfield, overlooked entering the year because of his size and the system in which he plays, has barged into first-round consideration and up draft boards. He makes up for his height 鈥?he’s listed as 6-foot-1 鈥?with surprising arm strength, unmatched production, off-the-charts intangibles and athleticism suited for the direction NFL offense is headed.

That’s pretty obvious. However, Bortles will need to make plays for the Jaguars to win this game. Where the Womens Sean Davis Jersey Jaguars excel is in staying ahead of the sticks. They went 8-of-14 on third downs against the Steelers, a success rate of 57 percent. Of the Jaguars’ 14 third plays, they ran on only three of them. On one of those 11 passes, Bortles scrambled for a first down.

Despite the government shutdown, DoD determined the operational necessity of television and radio broadcasts constitutes them as essential activities, Dana W. White, chief spokesperson for the DoD, said in a statement. We will continue to find solutions to support our troops at home and abroad. Congress must come to a resolution, support our troops and pass a budget soon.

The NFL had announced that it would provide access to its streaming service, NFL Game Pass, at United Service Organizations facilities worldwide, an NFL spokesperson said Saturday afternoon, and was exploring other means by which troops could watch the games between the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars at 3:05 p.m. EST on CBS and Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles at 6:40 p.m. EST on Fox.

The trial of Ronald Gasser, the man accused of killing former NFL running back Joe McKnight in a December 2016 road-rage incident, began Tuesday in New Orleans as potential jurors were questioned, NOLA.com reported.

McKnight, who was 28 at the time of his death, spent four seasons in the NFL with the Jets and Chiefs after a standout college career at USC.

The Niners’ options instead are to either franchise-tag Jimmy G or sign him to a long-term contract, potentially making him the highest-paid player in the league.

While Lynch added that he will not talk publicly about the ensuing negotiations with Garoppolo, the GM did offer that he has had conversations with Garoppolo and the organization knows where the QB stands.

Dear Big Ben, the bakery’s Facebook post read. We wanted to thank you for the amazing season so far. Beating you this year not once BUT twice in the Burgh… well that was amazing! We appreciated the turnovers you gave us over our season so in return we wanted you to get a TASTE of 7 turnovers. So here are our very best Apple, blueberry and Cherry turnovers! Sincerely, the amazing City of Jacksonville or as you know it SACKSONVILLE.

Roethlisberger was picked off five times in a 30-9 home loss to the Jaguars in Week 5, which made him feel like he didn’t have it anymore as he contemplated retirement. He bounced back and threw 469 yards with five touchdowns on Sunday, but fell victim to two turnovers and questionable play-calling as Pittsburgh lost 45-42 after a failed comeback attempt.

Cinotti’s Bakery, a Jacksonville Beach-based shop, announced on Facebook this week that it shipped Roethlisberger seven freshly baked turnovers in exchange for the quarterback’s own seven turnovers in the Steelers’ pair of losses to the Jaguars this season.

Mens Dejounte Murray Jersey As Big Cat Country’s Alfie Crow noted, the book Jags to Riches, by John Oehser and CBS Sports’ own Pete Prisco, documents a time when former Jacksonville quarterback Mark Brunell received turnovers from some St. Louis Rams fans who couldn’t get enough of his five-interception day in 1996.

(Disc jockeys) turned their wits on Brunell, sending one of their assistants to his weekly television show. The assistant carried a box of six jelly-filled turnovers, one for each of Brunell’s interceptions, and another for the fumbled kickoff.

The audience laughed. Brunell didn’t. Upon receiving the box, he looked unamused. Forcing a smile, he threw one of the turnovers at the assistant. The assistant threw it back, getting jelly on Brunell’s shirt. That set the tone for the week.

That helped give the Jags the ball at their own 47 yard line with 40 seconds left and two timeouts. A Blake Bortles scramble pushed his team 20 yards downfield and served as the biggest play of the game for either team. Two plays later, he’d avoid Buffalo pressure for another 12 yards and a spot just outside the red zone. His hot streak wouldn’t last, however. He’d give up a costly sack that shut the door on his team’s touchdown A. J. Pollock Jersey hopes. Josh Lambo would even the score at 3-3 with a 44-yard field goal just before time could expire on the half.

One play later, the Buffalo QB would completely overthrow an open Nick O’Leary in the end zone to keep this game scoreless, but his scrambles would keep the Bills moving forward. He’d push his team all the way to the three before ceding the field to kicker Steven Hauschka 鈥?but a costly offsides penalty would turn 4th and 1 to 1st and goal from inside the two-yard line.

Only three other starting quarterbacks (Drew Brees, Jared Goff, and Alex Smith) of the eight playing this playoff weekend can say they were good enough to win a division and earn the right to play at home.

The Jaguars rank No. 6 in offense, No. 5 in points scored (417), and own a plus-10 turnover differential that is mightier than New England’s or New Orleans’ or Pittsburgh’s. Bortles’ 192 passing first downs ranks seventh-best in the league.

But this phenomenon of you say Bortles, they frown and spit a foul answer is a climate Bortles changes only with playoff success.

He stood just outside the Jacksonville locker room with me on Sunday and addressed the vitriol this way: It’s something I’ve lived. George O’ Leary, my college coach, told me a long time ago that when it’s good and we win it’s ‘Us’ and when we lose and it’s bad it’s ‘Me.’ I kind of take that with me. I know shots are taken on Twitter, just about everywhere. I don’t know, I treat pressure in a way where preparation fixes that. And that’s Authentic Paul Kariya Jersey never more important than in a win-or-go-home game.

According to Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, the Patriots were installed as 5.5-point favorites in Super Bowl LII.

The Eagles opened as 5.5-point underdogs to the Patriots for Super Bowl LII at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, making Philadelphia the biggest SB underdog since 2009.

Philadelphia Eagles fans have taken to the streets to celebrate following their team’s 38-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game.

I know, said Johnson. Hey, Tom Brady. Pretty boy Tom Brady. He’s the best quarterback of all time, so, nothing I’d like to do more than dethrone that guy.

The Eagles were underdogs in both the divisional round and the NFC Championship Game and overcame the odds to punch their ticket to Minneapolis. There was no sense in the locker room late Sunday night that they were satisfied, nor of trepidation about facing Brady and the five-time champion Patriots.

They are not supposed to talk about it. That jagged arrow through their hearts, that 28-3 lead lost, those Super Bowl ashes 11 months ago when champion New England caught fire and the Falcons melted.

On Friday morning ESPN published a report from Seth Wickersham saying that the relationship between quarterback Tom Brady, head coach Bill Belichick, and team owner Robert Kraft has deteriorated this season.

This rift, Wickersham reports, partly came about due to the team’s widely reported souring relationship with Brady’s trainer, body coach, and business partner Alex Guerrero. The report also says that Brady was influential in the team’s decision to trade away backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers, a move that Wickersham reports was forced upon Belichick, and one that made the coach furious.

Mariota fumbled during a big sack in the first half, but it couldn’t be reviewed because the refs called forward progress.

The score cut the Chiefs’ lead to 21-10 and was the catalyst for another epic home team failure in Kansas City. A muffed Tennessee punt return gave Andy Reid’s team the chance to put another nail in the Titans’ coffin, but instead resulted in a missed field goal and nine net yards for the visitors.

What on Earth is going onCollege basketball, for one. This is a sport defined by its upsets and played by late teens and early 20-somethings who must do so while also ostensibly functioning as students. Volatility is built into the game. But it’s also becoming increasingly clear that this is one of those years devoid of dominant teams, and where even whichever ones end up looking great retroactively will not be anywhere close to invincible along the way. Villanova will reclaim the No. 1 spot a week after losing it, but the same defensive cracks that Butler busted open can come back at any time.

Buffalo went 3-1 SU and ATS down the stretch to finish the season with a 9-7 SU and 8-6-2 ATS record, good for the sixth seed in the AFC. The Bills enter the postseason with the lowest offensive output in 2017 among any of the teams to advance to the playoffs ranking 22nd in the league in scoring with 18.9 points per game and 29th in total offense with 302.6 yards per game.

Green Bay’s new gunslinger. The Packers’ new starter, Brett Hundley, didn’t necessarily fall in the 2015 draft. Yes, there was hype around the then-UCLA star during the 2014 college season, and talk of him being a high pick. But the truth was that was all it really was—talk.

“Yeah, the media hypes guys up, and then the scouts evaluate them,” said one AFC college scouting director. “His decision-making was an issue, as was his accuracy at times. He’s big, strong and athletic with arm strength, he’s just inconsistent in those two areas.” Another evaluator compared him in talent, and rawness coming out, to Browns rookie DeShone Kizer.

Bo Scarbrough will declare for the 2018 NFL Draft, according to AL.com.

None of those three players had the off-field notoriety of Manziel during their college and early pro careers. Flutie won the Heisman Trophy in 1984, but he, like Moon and Garcia, wasn’t close to being a first-round pick (Moon and Garcia went undrafted and Flutie was an 11th-round choice). None of them entered pro football with the great expectations Manziel did. The CFL was their vehicle to prove themselves, whereas for Manziel, he needs to have consistent success in the CFL to rebuild the trust factor for NFL teams looking at him.

Manziel must embrace the CFL as Christian Yelich Authentic Jersey quite likely his last chance to resurrect his career. Any more missteps and no team will want to deal with him.

If Manziel can’t stay on the right path or can’t recreate his college success, he’ll unfortunately join the Ryan Leafs of the football world as the classic and tragic underachievers who had the talent but not the wherewithal to realize their potential. Manziel would join players such as Vince Young, who sought out the CFL last summer in an attempt to rekindle his football career (he left Saskatchewan’s camp after injuring his hamstring).

Including that last one. The Falcons had first-and-goal at the Eagles’ 9-yard line with 1:19 on the clock, two timeouts left 鈥?just one left for the Eagles 鈥?and ended up making a mess of most of that series. It ended with the fourth-down play in which Jones slipped (or was pushed), got up, then couldn’t hold Ryan’s desperate throw.

Whether a sprint-out by Ryan that all but cut the field and opportunities in half was the best choice, will eat the Falcons up for a while. Ryan, Quinn, Jones, offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian have to live with it all.

Here’s a good rule of thumb when trying to figure out which G-Leaguers are real NBA prospects: beyond two-way players and those on assignment from their parent club, identify the guys who have one or two great skills, are actively working to sharpen them, and moreover, who are great people. Basketball isn’t always about basketball, the majority of guys at this level are fighting for a chance to become a role player and not a star, and the final spots on rosters rarely go to players who haven’t learned what it means to be a professional. As one executive told me: We can always go find someone who will show up on time.
