NFL Is So Good!

    The NBA Conference Finals was painful to watch. After game fives of both Eastern and Western Conference Finals, I knew exactly what was going to happen. The Boston Celtics had a 3-2 lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East, and the Houston Rockets had their 3-2 lead against the Golden State Warriors in the West. For the past three seasons, NBA has featured the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, so why were we expecting anything different this year? Once the Cavs and Warriors fell 2-3 in their series, I called for two straight victories for both clubs. That is exactly what happened with both the Cavs and the Warriors winning game seven on the road. Seemed like NBA had written a Hollywood script for this year's path to NBA Finals. In the NFL, nothing seems scripted for the regular-season and/or the post-season. There are several reasons why NBA can't never be as good as the NFL! Let's examine how much better the NFL is compa...

How valuable are wide receivers to their teams?   As a fan, I enjoy watching wide receivers make incredible plays on the field. It is thrilling to see a receiver make catches with one hand, catch passes with two feet inbounds, and running by defensive backs for big gains and/or touchdowns. Quarterbacks appreciate a reliable wideout. They like to have one dependable wide receiver on their side to whom they could throw the ball to for a huge conversion or for a much-needed score. It is considered a luxury to have a superstar wide receiver on your team. However, teams don't need an ultra-talented wide-out to win playoff games and championships. Last elite receiver to win a Super Bowl was Marvin Harrison in 2006. It has been a decade plus now since an elite receiver helped his team win a Super Bowl. Receivers don't have to be great to win Super Bowls. They just need to make great clutch plays to win big games for their teams. For instance, David Tyree in 2007 season made a he...

  Three months ago, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots fell short of winning their sixth Lombardi Trophy. Tom Brady was close to becoming the only player with six rings, but the Philadephia Eagles denied him of that. That night, the Eagles wanted their first ring more than the Patriots wanted their sixth. After falling short to the Eagles 41-33, the question that everyone has been asking now is if the Patriots could get back to the Super Bowl and win it for the sixth time before Brady retires? I believe that is what they are aiming for and they have a great opportunity to do it within two years! Resetting the roster for 2018!   The Patriots just went through an offseason in which they made all the moves to reload for another Super Bowl run. They didn't make any moves to rebuild for the future or to move on from Tom Brady. There were some reports that they were interested in drafting quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson in the draft. However, they pass...

    Like always, the NFL draft didn't disappoint us. It was entertaining and full of surprises. You could say that this draft had more flavor to it than any of the previous ones. A lot of trading took place in this draft, especially in the first-round. We expect trades to take place in the first-round every year, but not as often as we did in this year's draft. This drafted actually started with a buzz, as the Cleveland Browns with the first overall pick selected Baker Mayfield. When the whole world thought the Browns were going to take either Sam Darnold or Josh Allen with the first pick in the draft, they threw a curveball at us by going in the direction of Baker Mayfield. The first overall pick wasn't the only shocker in the first-round. Some other shockers included Sam Darnold falling to the New York Jets at number three. Then, the New Orleans Saints trading up in the first-round by thirteen spots, after they gave up a first-round selection from the next year's...
