Patriots Take On The Ravens

The Patriots will take on the Baltimore Ravens this saturday at Gillette Stadium in foxborough. The and should be a true test of who real winner is because Baltimore has beaten us 2-3 times both wins being at home in the playoffs. The game is completely sold out and security is being bumped up to protect from any threats. I will personally be security at the game. The ravens have a particularly gruesome team this year despite losing murderer Ray Lewis and his stupid dance moves.

The Patriots are hopeful to get the win and we are hoping for a Patriots vs Seahawks for an entertaining Super Bowl another game that will not come as an easy win for the patriots. If the patriots win this week the next game will be sunday the 18th at 6:35 at Gillette Stadium. The Patriotss seem like they should be the winner this week with the return of Julian Edelman and Dan Connelly who are both said to be healthy this year despite Edelman being out with a concussion the last two weeks. This should definitely be an interesting game.

Ray Rice Comeback

Ray Rice has been proven to love to smack people around, and his wife has the bruises to prove it. Rice might be able to make his MMA career once again come back to the field and not just happen in elevators. Should a team decide to give Rice a contract this year, should Rice be allowed to play without any punishment first. The answer to that is no. Even though i am a strong believer in sports players should not be idolized, Rice punched his wife unconscious in an elevator on film. He could use the excuse he didn't know he was on film. 90% of the time if you are in an elevator you are on film.

So Rice before being allowed to step on a field and run in some TD's should first see a small punishment at the very least. Maybe a 2 game suspension, or suspend him until the end of regular season and make him pray that his team makes the playoffs. If Goodell doesn't first punish Rice has anything really changed. Just forget that Goodell is an absolute idiot and has an IQ which is less then mine, which is pretty sad. But Goodell is making an example out of the wrong case of domestic abuse. The idiot can't even realize that Rice's case is way worse than Peterson's. But i guess thats for the feminist to decide. I rest my case #FRR IM OUTTA HERE.

Is Ball Really Life?

The phrase "ball is life" refers to basketball and is a commonly used phrase nowadays in the basketball community. That phrase being said raises the question of is ball really life? Many people would have to disagree with that statement including myself. Many other sports could be considered life like the amazing game of tennis. Also, baseball which is known as "America's Pastime" should more then likely be considered life rather then it being basketball. With that said could the phrase actually have originated from baseball and then have been confused as basketball after much verbal talk?

Baseball having a much longer season then basketball truly should be life considering it takes up more then half the year. Most baseball players do not stop playing baseball especially professional ball players. So to tackle this issue I asked three major league ballplayers if they think it should be baseball instead. I asked Shane Robinson who is an outfielder of the Cardinals, Charlie Furbush of the Seattle Mariners, and Jackie Bradley Jr of the Red Sox. All three of the players replied to my text saying that baseball is actually life and basketball is not life. 2 of the three even bashed basketball players. Sadly I do not know any basketball players personally so they do not get a say in this article. SO is basketball or baseball life?

Patriots Not Out Of It Yet

The Patriots coming off of a big loss to the Chiefs show their true talent in beating the last unbeaten team in the NFL. The patriots came out big sunday night killing the Bengals 43-17. The Patriots offense led by the always handsome Tom Brady showed that they are not in need of a quarterback change. Putting up 43 points on national television, proving every media outlet wrong on their predictions and the predictions of Las Vegas. Most believed that this season could be the end of Tom Brady but he surely proved this week that he is not quite done yet. Also becoming the 6th QB to pass for 50,000 yards sunday night. Tom Brady continues to demolish records and looking styling as hell while doing it. See below.

Also for the first time all season the Patriots defense showed up to play. Could it have been the ruthless Boston media that caused this change of play? Either way the defense still had minor collapses as they did still let up 17 points which even though is not a lot considering we scored 43, would be a huge amount to let up say November 2nd against the Broncos with the likes of Peyton "The Forehead" Manning and Wes "Molly" Welker. The Patriots defense has to find its groove and stop allowing so many points before the Patriots can ever consider going for a playoff run. Right now going anywhere in the post season seems like a far shot but weird things happen in Boston sports. 

A Change In The Red Sox And Yankees Era?

2014 will be the second year in a row the Yankees have the hopes of another World Series Championship is smashed. After losing to Baltimore Wednesday night there is officially no chance for the Yankees to make a playoff run. Similarly the Red Sox will also not be making a run this year even after coming off a World Series Championship just last year. Could these unsuccessful seasons mark a change in the MLB? Maybe it does. If so will smaller teams step up to the plate? Also, these seasons could finally prove the point that money isn't everything when it comes to baseball. Teams are finally recruiting younger and cheaper players who end up killing it in the league. The Red Sox failure of Daisuke proves that statement that money isn't everything.

Underdog teams are finally starting to make noise in Major League Baseball. Particularly the Orioles are making noise in the East. The Orioles are usually one of the worst teams in the East but are beating the Yankees, Tampa Bay, and the Red Sox this season. Orioles were also the first team in the MLB to clinch a playoff berth. On Friday the 26th the Red Sox and Yankees will finish off their seasons in a home series in Boston. Who will prove to be the best of the worst?

Red Sox Rookie ContinuesTo Struggle

Coming off a World Series championship season, the Red Sox opening day roster consisted of two rookie players to the league. Xander Bogaerts starting at the short sop position, and Jackie Bradley Junior. Bradley Jr. has play short stints in the major leagues starting in the 2013 season, where he started the season before being sent between AAA Pawtucket and the Boston Red Sox all season long. This year for him proved no different. Bradley did not earn the starting center field job right out of the gate this season. Batting only in the .200's and having competition from a , returning and seasoned Grady Sizemore, Bradley sure had to fight for it. I asked Bradley in May for a comment on the situation to which he responded, "I don't see it as a competition, I see it more as an opportunity for me to learn from him." Bradley went on to say going through high school and college he had looked up to Grady Sizemore, Grady of course having a couple gold gloves. Bradley said it was unbelievable to actually be able to play with him now, and learn from him. Bradley in the early season was thrown around between the different fields, left one game right the next, even center every once in a while. Even during the early struggle of what spot he was actually going to rest in Bradley struggled elsewhere. Last years hitting woes proved to still be an issue, batting low .200's yet again people started to doubt Jackie even with his perfect fielding, best in the MLB for fielding this year.

Bradley tried not to let the early doubts get to him as he tried to focus in and get back to his days in college where he was the best fielder and the best hitter on the College World Series champion South Carolina Gamecocks in 2010 being named most valuable player. Bradley worked with the hitting coaches daily to change his stance the right way for him to finally be able to smack the ball. Widening his stance, bringing it back, chocking up, lighter bats, heavier bats, further away from plate, nothing seemed to work. How far can one make it in the MLB when they hit the ball 1 out of 5 times, while striking out 3 out of those 5? The games leading up to the end of this will more then definitely decide Jackie Bradley Jrs. fate for the upcoming 2015 season. How ever if you compare Bradley's batting average to that of Dustin Pedroia in his rookie years the numbers are very similar. So really in all we are waiting for a sign of hope for the young Bradley Jr, hoping he finds his bat yet again. Then hopefully succeed in the box and on the field for a struggling Red Sox.
