The Tennessee Titans released Julio Jones after just one season.  The 2010s all-decade wide receiver is on the open market, and while he is 33, could still contribute at a high level.  An incredible stat to remember if you are hesitant about your team signing him: Receiving yards per game: 2014-19: 102.0 Receiving yards per game: 2020-21: 63.4 Total games missed: 2014-19: 4 Total games missed: 2020-21: 14 He has been as reliable as the come for years.  The last few years abnormal, and he is reportedly healthy for the 2022 season.  Here are the top 5 destinations that would…

Odell Beckham Jr turned his career around in LA last year.  Not so much because he had a monster year stat wise (44 receptions, 537 yards, 5 touchdowns), but because of what he did in the post season.  He showed he can be a meaningful member on a championship caliber team. In four post season games last year he finished with 288 total receiving yards, 13.7 yards per catch, and two touchdowns.  He averaged 72 yards per game, and was lighting it up during the Super Bowl before he tore his ACL.  He may miss half (or most) of the…

The Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls have played four times in the post season.  The post-season series is tied 2-2.  In total games the Milwaukee Bucks lead 10-8.  Here is a complete breakdown of each series: 1974 Western Conference Finals (yes the Bucks used to be in the Western Conference): In 1974 Milwaukee won the Western Conference, but eventually lost the in the NBA Finals to the Boston Celtics.  In the Western Conference Finals they swept the Chicago Bulls in a series that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar absolutely dominated. Game 1: Bucks: 101 – Bulls: 85 Game 2: Bucks: 113 – Bulls:…

Durable, reliable and consistent, Jake Ferguson is exactly what you look for in a tight end. He had very similar receiving production throughout his career despite playing in a limited passing attack with inconsistent quarterback play. He has outstanding ball skills, including a rare level of concentration to make challenging catches in the face of oncoming collisions. Per multiple reports the tight end visited with the Green Bay Packers for their local pro-day.  As a projected  mid to late round draft pick Ferguson is going to be a steal in this years’ draft.  He was a first-team All-Big Ten selection…

Green Bay has a major need for wide receiver going into this draft.  However this draft is deep enough at wide receiver that if one of these four WRs aren’t available, they should take best player available.  Green Bay can still get outstanding value for wide receiver at #28, #53, and #59. Drake London (USC):  If Drake London somehow falls to #22 in the draft you take him and immediately do a back flip.  London is an elite athlete with elite size.  His contested catch ability is through the roof.  He aligns primarily on the outside but has snaps of…

The MLB has suspended Cubs’ pitcher Keegan Thompson three games for intentionally hitting Brewers’ Andrew McCutchen.  They have also suspended Cubs’ manger David Ross for one game.  Officially announcement: https://twitter.com/HawleySports/status/1513641389283758088?s=20&t=wFA3bzEYRUA8o7gEQT_p6w The intentional hit: Andrew McCutchen gets plunked and benches clear at Wrigley Field pic.twitter.com/wn2mLVVcRB — Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) April 9, 2022 No pitcher in the Major Leagues pitches that far off the plate, at that time in the game, with that score… on accident.  Nothing new from the Chicago Cubs.  Milwaukee will surely use this as motivation for the rest of the season.

We are just about two weeks away from the 2022 NFL draft.  This draft may be the most important to date for Brian Gutekunst as the Packers GM.  In three of four drafts as the Packers GM, Brian Gutekunst has made a trade in the first round.  Going with that trend, two of these three mock drafts will feature a first round trade.  Here we go: Mock Draft #1 (No Trade): This first draft went wide receiver heavy, but the value was too good to pass up.  Treylon Burks is quickly turning into my favorite wide receiver in this years’…

Life is precious.  We need to remember that in all phases of life, but we see the impact it can have on players and coaches in the sports world on a first hand basis.  2021 running backs coach Gary Brown was not doing well. He had been battling medical issues since December, when he did not travel with the team to the Las Vegas Bowl.  Today his pain was no more: https://twitter.com/clarencehilljr/status/1513316958955048964?s=20&t=tQpX3s6Wfb_mFZP9VLtfFA Gary Brown had an immediate impact on everyone around him, and it is evident with the way so many players are reacting: https://twitter.com/Juicebe11/status/1513320531587653637?s=20&t=tQpX3s6Wfb_mFZP9VLtfFA https://twitter.com/dhillsb10/status/1513322219828617216?s=20&t=tQpX3s6Wfb_mFZP9VLtfFA https://twitter.com/BraelonAllen/status/1513319024322650117?s=20&t=tQpX3s6Wfb_mFZP9VLtfFA https://twitter.com/MarkusAllen19/status/1513319897668980743?s=20&t=tQpX3s6Wfb_mFZP9VLtfFA https://twitter.com/groverbortolot7/status/1513320158319857667?s=20&t=tQpX3s6Wfb_mFZP9VLtfFA https://twitter.com/jaypo1961/status/1513320282953502721?s=20&t=tQpX3s6Wfb_mFZP9VLtfFA…

Jrue Holiday started for the Bucks today so he could reach 67 games played and secure a huge bonus.  Holiday played eight seconds before committing a foul and heading to the bench.  The complete terms of the bonus requirements were: playing 67 games (67) and average 3.15 RPG (4.5) this season. Jrue Holiday getting the the start: best day of work ever: Jrue Holiday puts on his uniform just to commit a foul and leave, is now ~$225,000 richer because he met the games played threshold in his contract to trigger the bonus. pic.twitter.com/HlgCXa5bFO — Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) April 10,…
