BREAKING NEWS: Jalen Ramsey Requests Trade From Jacksonville Jaguars

BREAKING NEWS: Jalen Ramsey Requests Trade From Jacksonville Jaguars

Featured

by | Sep 16, 2019 | Featured, NFL

While seemingly every big name player was getting a new contract this offseason, Jalen Ramsey and the Jacksonville Jaguars were unable to reach an agreement on a new deal for the All-Pro cornerback.

Ramsey feels he’s worth top-dollar and hasn’t backed down from that position. He showed up to training camp in a Brinks truck.

Just two games into the 2019 NFL season, Ramsey’s agent has gone to the team and requested that the team trade his client.

On Sunday, Ramsey and Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone got into a heated argument on the sidelines, which was captured by the CBS camera crew.

According to reports, Ramsey’s issues stem from this confrontation along with the ways the team has been using him. He prefers to be used as a true man-to-man shutdown corner—following the opposing team’s best wide receiver around the field regardless of where he is lined up—instead of a mix of man and zone as the Jaguars play currently.

The trade request was allegedly made in the aftermath of Jacksonville’s 13-12 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 2.

The team selected Ramsey fifth overall in the 2016 NFL Draft and he immediately became one of the league’s best corners.

Jacksonville has spoken with interested teams but no deal is expected to materialize anytime soon. The Jaguars are asking for at least one future first-round pick in return for Ramsey in any deal.

Primetime Preview: Cleveland Browns at New York Jets

Primetime Preview: Cleveland Browns at New York Jets

Featured

by | Sep 16, 2019 | Featured, NFL

Tonight’s Monday Night battle is between two franchises undergoing complete renovation. With new Head Coaches, 2nd year starting QBs and a plethora of free agent acquisitions, what once would have been the most boring primetime game of the season turns into a compelling matchup between trending teams. 

Unfortunately, the Jets will not be at full strength. Reports came out this week that starting QB Sam Darnold will be sidelined for close to six weeks with Mono. Star free agent pick up Le’Veon Bell also sustained a minor shoulder injury, but the MRI showed no significant damage which is encouraging. 

Both squads had a rough week 1. The Jets fumbled away a two touchdown lead to the Bills and the Browns got smacked down at home versus the Titans. This is a bounce back opportunity for both teams, so expect each teams best effort.

Freddy Kitchens has some work to do on his offensive line. Baker Mayfield was under duress the whole game against the Titans, resulting in hurried throws and the inability to sustain drives. They fell behind early as well which forced them to abandon the run game in the second half. 

Vegas currently has Cleveland as -6.5 road favorites to defeat New York, largely in part to the absence of QB Sam Darnold. Trevor Sieman will get the start as his replacement. After two extremely average seasons with the Denver Broncos, Sieman has bounced around as a backup, finding a home in New York after spending 2018 with the Vikings. 

Don’t expect to see much firepower from the Jets offense tonight. Le’Veon Bell has the possibility for a big game, as the Titans were effective in moving the ball on the ground with Derrick Henry against the Browns. The Jets offensive line doesn’t have the same talent, but Bell could still see tons of work. 

The Jets may also be without two key defenders C.J Mosley and Quinnen Williams. Mosley took home a pick six in their week 1 loss to the Bills. Both are listed as questionable as of now, and it will likely come down to a game time decision after pre-game warm ups. Losing these two would be huge, and could lead to a blowout here on Monday Night.

Adidas Has Sure-Fire Hit on Their Hands With the Harden Vol. 4

Adidas Has Sure-Fire Hit on Their Hands With the Harden Vol. 4

by | Sep 16, 2019 | Featured, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers, uncategorised

Last week Adidas officially unveiled the Harden Vol. 4 – the fourth installment in James Harden’s signature sneaker line. Just four years ago Harden made the jump from ‘The Swoosh’ to The Brand With the Three Stripes, and hasn’t looked back since. He has become the face of Adidas basketball and has the best-selling Adidas signature sneaker. The Three Stripes is looking for their $200 million dollar man to further carry the load come this 2019-20 season.

 

       

 

The Adidas Harden Vol. 4 looks to be the first version in his line to not feature Adidas Boost technology. Harden’s fourth signature sneaker instead looks to use Lightstrike technology in the midsole, the same cushion set-up used in the Adidas N3XT L3V3L. While the Harden Vol. 3 was rather simple in design compared to its counterparts, the Vol. 4 adds more depth in construction using overlays, a variety of materials, and even more premium set-ups that include suedes and nubucks. The 2017-18 NBA Most Valuable Player had a record-breaking season last year and will surely look to reclaim his MVP throne this season while sporting his new shoe. Look for Harden’s fellow Adidas endorsers like Kyle Lowry, Zach LaVine, Jamal Murray, and Austin Rivers to rep the Vol. 4 during the 2019-20 campaign. Also expect Adidas’ marquee college programs like Kansas, Louisville, Washington, and Miami to have the Harden Vol. 4 as part of their on-court rotation this season. The first Adidas Harden Vol. 4 will release October 12th and will retail for $130. More colorways will release come late October and into early November.

BREAKING NEWS: Ben Roethlisberger Out For Remainder of the Season

BREAKING NEWS: Ben Roethlisberger Out For Remainder of the Season

Featured

by | Sep 16, 2019 | Featured, NFL

Today, Pittsburg Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced that starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will undergo surgery on his elbow and miss the rest of the 2019 NFL season.

Unlike New Orleans Saints quarterback, Drew Brees, Roethlisberger’s injury occurred on a non-contact play.

Roethlisberger underwent an MRI today that confirmed he will need surgery to repair his elbow. This will sideline him for the remainder of the year and Pittsburgh will place him on IR.

For the Steelers, this is a huge hit. With Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown no longer wearing the black and yellow, Week 3 will be the first time since 2004 that none of that once illustrious trio will be on the field.

Mason Rudolph now steps in to become QB1 for the season.

BREAKING NEWS: Saints QB Drew Brees Will Miss 6 Weeks

Like contract extensions during the offseason, injuries are starting to pile up on top of each other. Just two weeks into the regular season the biggest injury occurred yesterday when New Orleans Saints quarterback, Drew Brees suffered an injured thumb during their game against the Los Angeles Rams.

In the second quarter, Brees attempted a pass and was being pressured by All-Pro defensive tackle, Aaron Donald. As Brees followed through his hand smacked into Donald’s outstretched arm causing the thumb injury.

Brees exited the game immediately and never returned. There’s video of him coming out after halftime and being unable to even grip a football.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Brees is still deciding on if he will undergo surgery to repair the injury and the initial timetable to get back on the field is set at six weeks.

Prior to this Brees had only missed one start due to injury. New Orleans now turns to Teddy Bridgewater—who is the highest paid backup QB in the NFL currently—and Taysom Hill to try and help this team meet the standards they had coming into the year.
