             AFC Championship Preview Bills vs Chiefs      In the 2020-2021 NFL Playoffs it really feels like we got every highly anticipated matchup we could of asked for. The defending Super Bowl champs Chiefs will be taking on the red hot Buffalo Bills. Remember no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have been rolling since that DeAndre Hopkins Hail Mary grab over four of their defenders. That apparently really put a spark into the team. The Bills have been on an eight game winning streak since that catch. They’ve impressed me every single week since then. From Josh Allen who in my opinion is the runner up in the MVP voting. Stefon Diggs is a very bad man. Guess Kirk Cousins was holding him back even if it was a tad. The Bills offense showed against the Steelers and Colts it doesn’t matter how good your defense is they will score. Then when you doubt their defense they turn it around last week and their defense oo...

  UFC 257 Preview and Predictions   Early Prelims 6:30 PM EST 1/23 on UFC Fight Pass Flyweight bout  Amir Albazi vs Zhalgas Zhumagulov We will start the night off with a flyweight bout with an interesting matchup. Albazi is from Sweden and currently holds a record of 13-1. Eight of his wins are by submission. His opponent Zhumagulov is from KAZAKHSTAN he is 13-4 in his MMA career. Albazi will look to take this fight to the ground and Zhumagulov will look to keep it standing. Which might not be great either for Zhumagulov because Albazi has four knockouts in his career. Should be a good style matchup to start the evening.  Prediction: Amir Albazi over Zhalgas Zhumagulov via submission round 2 Catchweight bout  Nik Lentz vs Movsar Evloev In the second matchup of the evening we have a veteran fighting a prospect. Lentz has been around the block once or twice, debuted in the UFC in 2009. In his time in MMA he racked up a 30-11-2 record. Originally a wrestler from Mi...

The two that many probably hoped for, its Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers has he takes them Florida boys up to the Frozen Tundra in Green Bay, Wisconsin Lambeau Field to battle Aaron Rodgers, and the number one seeded Green Bay Packers. Yes their is many other star players on each team besides Brady and Rodgers. The Buccaneers have outstanding weapons with Mike Evans, Chris Goodwin, Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowski, Ronald Jones II, and Leonard Fournette.

  The Five Worst Contracts in The NBA Today       In the NBA their has been some bad contracts for either team or player. Usually when the contract is bad for the team they rush to dump the player for basically whatever they can get. Even if that means taking on a lesser evil contract, or maybe more expensive for the year but shorter contract so they don’t have to remain loyal to a player that isn’t worth it to them for to long. When a player has a bad contract depending on the level of star they are the situation can go a lot of different ways. If they are bench player they’ll just have to ride it out, a role player they can get more say but probably just be cut or sent in a deal with another player. If they are a sixth man or a starter they can cause headaches. When it’s a star that’s when it’s getting serious when you get into that All-Star level. An all star all the way up to a superstar can cause major headaches for an organization. It can mess up their culture ...

  Five of the Seven coaching positions gone just like that.      Five of the seven coaching positions were filled over the last week, many over the weekend. The Falcons, Lions, Jaguars, Chargers, and Jets are found their new general to the lead their organizations, to what they hope is a new direction into the light. These franchise have been ruled as dysfunctional over the last couple of years. Let’s breakdown each head coaching pick, see if they can succeed in their new city, and my final thoughts overall of the choice for each team.  Falcons- Arthur Smith     The Falcons decided to move on from a defense mind in Dan Quinn right after the 2020 season. They have now decided to go with an offensive mind in Arthur Smith. Smith has been the Offensive Coordinator for the Tennessee Titians the last two seasons. He is the second offensive coordinator to be plucked away from Tennessee in the last three seasons. Former Titians OC Matt LaFleur went up to ...

The new look Tom Brady Buccaneers come rolling into New Orleans coming off a little bit to close for comfort 31-23 win over the Washington Football in the Wildcard round. The Buccaneers played on the road due to the fact they were a wildcard winner not the division winner like the Saints. Now Brady will go on the road for his second straight playoff game. Which is something their is no way he is used to but sure doesn’t matter to the six time Super Bowl champion. The Saints had a competitive game against the 8-8 Chicago Bears in the wildcard round at home. The game was 7-3 at the half the Saints went on to win 21-9 but they didn’t look great. Drew Brees was showing his age in that contest. The Saints won both matchup...
