Picture this:
It’s June 23, 2005.
Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Detroit Pistons at San Antonio Spurs.
In a close game, the Pistons are not able to repeat as NBA Champs. Instead, the Spurs win. They are led by Tim Duncan, who finishes the game with 25 points and 11 rebounds. Continue reading “Respecting Tim Duncan”
How do you say goodbye to someone who was larger than life?
Someone who gave life everything they had, whose personality was built around a ruthless obsession with perfection and domination?

Welcome to the divisional round!
Fredy and I will take another attempt at picking the playoff games slated for this weekend. Fredy went 2-2 last week, as opposed to me… I don’t want to talk about it (fine, I was 0-4, stop laughing). Hopefully things go better.
This will be the first divisional round in the AFC not to feature Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, or Tom Brady since 2002. We’ll get to see the future of the position in full swing, as Patrick Mahomes (24), Deshaun Watson (24), and Lamar Jackson (23) will each be playing. In the NFC, Jimmy Garoppolo will be making his first playoff start, and Kirk Cousins will be appearing in the divisional round for the first time. Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers are the old-heads of the group, as each has won a Super Bowl as a starting QB.
It should be a lot of fun, possibly the first of many times we see these QBs and teams during this time of year. Enjoy!

They say one of the scariest things about being a human is having an understanding of time and the fact it is finite. Patriots fans are beginning to experience mortality in their own way.
The Patriots season came to an early end on Saturday, the earliest the team has left the playoffs since the 2009 season. With their loss to Tennessee, the offseason officially began much earlier than we’ve become accustomed to, and that means more time to ponder about the future of Tom Brady.
