Alright, now for the Round 1 draft review. Last year was ok, I had some bad ones like Gibbs, but Swift hadn't been traded yet so its not too bad. Anyways 2024 Round 1, here we go. The Bears get their guy they have wanted ever since the Panthers were locked to have the worst record. We all knew this was coming. Hopefully he isn't a bust. Grade: S The Commanders get the guy they have also been linked to. I'm not sure he wants to be there, but here we are. We will have to wait and see if he causes attitude issues or not. Grade: S Patriots stick and grab Maye. Perfect pick. They tried to get some team to pay way to much for the #3 pick and 3 mins into the pick they just said f it and grabbed their franchise QB Grade: S Cardinals needed WR. MHJ is the best player in the draft. Nothing much else to say about the pick Grade: S+ Generational O-Line talent to protect Herbert so he can throw to...... Who? WR was better here in my opinion but maybe Harbaugh is cooking. He doesn'...

  Hello all! Long time no see. Been busy with life and stuff and just haven't had the passion to write lately. Anyways, we are back for the 2024 draft preview. I was doing mocks and decided to write a post on my takes on some of the best picks for each team. First I will go through each team and provide my personal opinion for a couple players that would fit their team, there may be overlaps but I am going to try to estimate what could possibly be available at their pick. I will post my current personal mocks below afterward but I will be going over each pick as if no trades happened. #1 Chicago Bears Not going to talk much here, we have known for months now that the Bears are going to stay here and draft Caleb Williams. #2 Washington Commanders The 'Manders are tricky, I haven't really heard any strong arguments of who they are really interested in, but I think its probably down to Maye or Daniels. No arguments from me there, they need a new QB. #3 New England Patriots A m...

  Pick 1: Carolina Panthers (via CHI) The Panthers selected Bryce Young with the first pick, which I think is the clear choice. He has the highest intangibles of all the QBs in the draft. As long as his size doesn't become a problem for him, he will thrive in the NFL Grade: S Pick 2: Houston Texans The Texans get their guy in C.J. Stroud. Stroud had low marks on the new test pre-draft, but looked like the best QB in the class on the field. I guess we will find out quickly if the test is bogus or not, but for now, I like the pick. Grade: A Pick 3: Houston Texans (via ARI) The Texans grab another pick on draft night and take Will Anderson. Anderson was my second pick for edge rushers, but is still a beast. Should fit in just fine in Houston. Grade: A Pick 4: Indianapolis Colts The Colts were being mocked to take Will Levis for most of the offseason so far up until a few hours before the draft, it was rumored they were going to take Anthony Richardson, and they did. I like the pick, b...

Talking about all 4 Minnesota sports teams today. The Wild, Wolves, and Twins all played last night and all need to be talked about. Starting with the Wild. There really isn't much to say about Game 5 itself. The Wild played like crap, but I will talk about the officiating this series and *WARNING* I'm going to sound bias in this one. The Wild and Stars series is totally off the rails officiating wise. Both teams are getting bad calls, but the Wild are getting much worse ones to be honest with you. Lets start back in Game 4 where Foligno got an interference call for hitting the guy that just had the puck. No penalty deserved in my opinion. Then the Foligno attempted a check near the boards in Game 4, where he completely missed, was taken down by a Dallas player and HE was called for tripping. Complete bullshit, but not as bullshit as the penalty last night. Foligno went for a hit near center ice after Faksa caught a puck and put it down on the ice. Foligno's hit looked like...

  The Wild and Stars met again in St. Paul for Game 4 of the Best of 7 series. However, the action packed game was ruined by officiating. The first period started by the first few minutes feeling like all Dallas, but quickly turned into Minnesota's game as they had the puck in the Dallas end for a majority of the period. No goals resulted in the period even though each team had a number of opportunities. The second period was evenly fought in terms of shots, and time in each others end as each team got more opportunities, but Dallas got the best one of the night going onto a powerplay off a Marcus Foligno penalty. This was one of the many terrible calls by the referees last night and I'll get to that shortly. Dallas was able to capitalize with a Tyler Seguin powerplay goal to lead 1-0 going into the third. Directly off of a Wild powerplay Evgenii Dadonov skated out of the box, and hit the back of the net putting Dallas up 2-0. The Wild got it right back 2 minutes later with a J...

  Remember in my "About Me" section on the home page when I said I was only going to write about what I felt like? Well I really don't feel like writing about the Timberwolves anymore and this will likely be the last time this season. I am going to keep it short and sweet here. The Timberwolves have no answer for the Nuggets. The Nuggets look like a real NBA Finals contender. The Wolves were never going to win this series without McDaniels, but I didn't think it would be this bad. The Wolves play the Nuggets again on Sunday night for Game 4 to try to prevent the sweep, which I think is all but inevitable.

The Minnesota Wild were back to pretty much full strength going into this one besides Mason Shaw, who announced the famous "Let's play hockey!" for the Wild last night. Hartman, Erikson Ek, and Klingberg were all in, and boy did it help the Wild. About 7 seconds into his first shift Erikson Ek came of the ice, walked down the tunnel, and never returned. I know he really wanted to get out there and help his team, but maybe he just wasn't ready. The Wild are going to monitor it and see what happens. If he reaggravated it, he could be done for the season or at least the first one or two playoffs rounds. Mats Zuccarello put the first points on the board in the first period and gave the Wild a 1-0 lead pretty early. The game stayed 1-0 for awhile as the Wild won the battle most of the first period. Towards the end of the period the Wild were on a 2-2 rush when Johansson scored the nastiest goal I have seen in awhile, passing to himself behind the back of the Stars defender...
