Here is my take on the NY Football Giants 2016 season based on the NFL schedule that was just released. Albeit crazy early, the Giants will be an improved team, however making the playoffs will mean having to win the NFC East, and that in all likelihood will not happen for this seasons team.

Certainly, there hasn’t been much good in the second week of the 2016 season for the New York Yankees. They are mired in a four-game losing streak heading into Masahiro Tanaka‘s Sunday start and a lot of it is their own fault. It’s actually the same story it has been the past few seasons.
So the NFL schedule was released last night and I decided it was time to give a brief synopsis of the week-by-week schedule for my beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Here is how I see each week playing out in Tampa.
What a difference four years makes, huh? Les Snead, the general manager of the then-St. Louis Rams, pulled off a trade that netted him eight players for his second overall pick, which the Washington Redskins infamously turned into RGIII. Yesterday, the same Les Snead of the now (again) Los Angeles Rams, traded away six picks for presumably their franchise quarterback.
That seems like a lofty sacrifice for one player. Especially when there isn’t one standout quarterback and the Rams reportedly traded for the pick two weeks early so they can decide which quarterback is their man.
So, does the trade make sense?
The Atlanta Braves are tough to watch right now. When you look over their April schedule, it doesn’t appear that it will get any better anytime in the near future.
Remember though, Tomahawk Faithful, that was the plan. What Braves fans should be happy about is that their big names on the farm that are part of this big rebuilding process are off to a great start.
My latest prospect profile from Today’s Knuckleball takes a look at one of the first pieces acquired under the John Hart Era of Braves baseball. Max Fried was the centerpiece of the Justin Upton deal. A year after sitting out from Tommy John, he was back on the mound. How did he do?
It’s hard to believe that Kobe Bryant is hanging it up tonight. The end of a 20-year career that had its fair share of ups and downs is also an end to one of the NBA’s GOATs. No matter how un-Kobe-like he has played the past season, the face of the Los Angeles Lakers will be a new one come October.
Perhaps it’s not as dramatic as the title indicates. Matt Harvey is still quite a good pitcher. There is no question that the New York Mets young staff is exciting to watch.
They are struggling a bit right now. Jacob deGrom is working through injury and is currently on paternity leave. Steven Matz looked lost in his 2016 debut after an amazing run in 2015 before getting hurt. Bartolo Colon is simply not human and Harvey is still struggling to learn what kind of pitcher he is.
Noah Syndergaard, however, is unbelievable.
Every year there are big name prospects ready to blast on the scene. Last season, rookies took the league by storm and this year, Nomar Mazara and Mallex Smith are already up and the rest of the MLB is waiting for names like A.J. Reed, Trea Turner and J.P Crawford to make their big league debuts.
Working their way up the ladder are some interesting names to keep an eye on this season – Dom Nunez and Javier Guerra of the Rockies and Padres, respectively. Part of the reason to keep tabs on them has to do with their skill-set and overall game, of course. The other reason to know of their names, however, is that the organizations they are part of need help at those positions.

It’s a question that has been mired ever since Joe DiMaggio became the first to be considered “The Greatest Living Yankee.” It wasn’t the organization, nor the media, nor Major League Baseball who crowned him with the honor, but Joey D himself who demanded he be introduced that way whenever he appeared. The Bambino and Iron Horse probably laughed off their ghostly derrieres.
Since DiMaggio passed away in 1999, the honor has been passed down. The most recent recipient of the honor, passed this past year in Yogi Berra. Now the question arises as to whom will carry the torch.
Many will turn to Derek Jeter. However, it may be someone who threw his last pitch 50 years ago this season.
