Heat Humiliated at Home

LA Clippers were on the mind of the Heat as they lose their 4th straight game. Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, and half the Heat roster were ruled OUT. Either they didn’t make it passed the Covid-19 sniffing dogs or had extrem e jet lag because essentially everyone was ruled out for tonight’s game against Denver. I hate when players rest or take breaks. I get it that it is deserved, but come on. Coming off 3 straight losses and a tough opponent on deck, this game seemed to mean more for the Heat fan morale than anything. When you are...

A Quick look at Dolphins OC Candidate Eric Studesville

The name Eric Studesville has been floating around the past couple of days, mainly for his involvement calling offensive plays in the Senior Bowl.

Therefore, it’s hard for me to offer any advice to the upcoming draft. I know there are safer picks like...

Hitting the Trifecta: Reuniting Bama Stars in Miami

It’s 92 days until the draft, and there were pictures all over the Internet last night of Najee Harris and DeVonta Smith hanging out at the Senior Bowl. Of course they were hanging out together fresh off of their National Championship. Hopefully, for the sake of the franchise, they are discussing housing options in South Beach. Both Bama stars could join Tua in Miami to create a three-headed monster that won a National Championship in Alabama in 2018. DeVonta Smith only had one catch that day. A 41 yard walk-off bomb to win the 2018 Nationa'l Championship from Tua. He...
