Hello everyone, this will be the blog that will now go with the podcast. I plan on updating this in between episodes as well as when there is a thought on my mind about something in the sports world. I apologize for the length of this post but as you know its been a while in between podcast episodes and i wanted to update you all as to why. First off i want to thank everyone who listens and follows the show. I never thought id have this kind of overwhelming support. I want to thank R&B Flooring for being our first sponsor of the show. Without that support its hard to legitimize what i am trying to accomplish. Having this measure of success this quick was very shocking to me and therefore i was overwhelmed trying to come up with weekly shows that stayed relevant and on topic without sounding preachy. It had now been almost a month since our last episode and i promise you a new one is coming in the next week. Over the course of this podcast i have asked you the listener to engage with me on various topics to help me get content for the episodes. This has gone both well and not so well. I decided to revamp the show so to speak and focus more on just delivering my opinion and that of who ever i have as a guest on the show. Should you want to engage with me on a topic i still very much highly suggest you do so. our facebook page is open for comments and DMs so feel free to drop me something and ill gladly engage in a back and forth. Who knows we may even take it live on a show. Going forward my hope is to get you new podcast episodes every other week. That is where this blog comes in. Obviously the sports world happens on a day to day basis. So i will try to have something on here in between episodes to help bridge that gap. Ok, if your still reading that does it for the pleasentries and now on to the good stuff.
Pats are back in the super bowl!!
So if your like me, you have probably just calmed down and had your heart rate return to normal after that AFC title game. My god. But once again it was shown that we are watching greatness and history right before our eyes. Tom Brady once again proved he is hands down the greatest quarterback to ever play football. Bill Belichick showed he is the greatest coach to ever have walked a sideline. I heard someone in the Boston media say last week that we are living in a time that will never be replicated in pro sports again. That got me thinking. Wow. Brady was drafted in 2000. Played his first season in 2001. That means for 18 straight season, ok 17 since he tore his ACL in 2010, we have been watching history being made. This is just a little comparison. The yankees have 27 World Series titles. None since 2009. But from 1996 until 2009 they had 5 titles. That is a span of 13 years. The Montreal Canadians have won 24 Stanley cup titles (23 with NHL 1 before the merger with NHA) none since 1993. Their longest reign was 1971 to 1979 in which they won 7. To do what the Patriots have done for 18 years is beyond comparison. I know i left out some other teams from other sports but you get my point. There has always been a generation in any sport that has had 1 or 2 guys that do things no one else will. But to have the same coach and player do it together is unheard of.
That being said. This is it. If or i should say when the pats win title number 6 in Super Bowl 53 that will be the end of the pats dynasty and their almost 2 decade strangle hold on the NFL. There are some real good young and hungry teams in the league now. The talent is spread wide. Take a look at who the pats are playing in the Superbowl. The LA Rams. They have someone who is being hailed as the next Bill Belichick. Sean Mcvay. This guy has a brilliant football mind, and on top of that hes only 33! Their defensive line is probably the fastest in the league at getting the QB. That's not a slight at JJ Watt its just truth. Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh are in my eyes the best D-Line tandem in the league. Now i know a lot of people regard Suh as a dirty player my self being one of them. But have you heard anything about him since hes been in LA? I haven't. I wonder if that's because hes now in a system designed to win. In Detroit well come on need i say more. In Miami they were never gonna out shine New England. Now hes in LA and they have young core thats hungry and ready to win. Im doling out this praise for them but yet i don't think they have what its gonna take to beat the pats.
This post has already gone longer then i expected but once i get going there's usually no stopping me. As i said earlier i will use this blog to have more up to date takes on sports in between podcast episodes. Thank you all for listening and now reading. i hope you've enjoyed this as much as i have. Stay tuned its only gonna get better.
Cheers,
Brad
