Tanking in sports is an incredibly fascinating subject. It’s gone on for well quite a while. Why? Well (and that is a deep subject) there are various reasons this takes place: 1. The team has an aging roster and see top picks as a quick fix. 2. A teams payroll is out of control and…
Why 2018 & 2019 will not be lost Tigers seasons
While the baseball season is about to kick off with winter caravans and spring training. The thought of a bad bordering on hideous Tigers season leaves fans wondering what’s the point? Fair question. Let’s start with the fact the Tigers must see what’s in the minors as far talent. At some point or points during…
Exactly what is “the Patriot way?”
The New England Patriots are yet again in the Super Bowl. Big shock for sure. Why are they so successful? What is the secret of “the Patriot way?” For starters the Patriots draft extremely well. They get more out of lower draft picks than some teams get out of their top picks. What seems to…

Coming off ulnar nerve transposition surgery it has not deterred teams from calling to check on trade possibilities.
