NBA Free Agency Predictions 2021

  With NBA Free Agency starting today, it's about time we discuss who's staying and who's leaving. I will share my predictions on where some of the NBA's top players will land when it's all said and done at the end of this summer.

Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images      This year Chris Paul had arguably one of the best seasons in his career. He was putting up MVP numbers and didn't show any signs of slowing down with age. With Paul making his first finals appearance this season I don't see him leaving Phoenix. The Suns have a very young roster with a lot of talent, and Paul is in a perfect situation to contend the last few years of his career if he does stay in The Valley.

Top 10 NFL Triplets 2021

 Top 10 NFL Triplets 2021     In the NFL triplets are the Quarterback, Runningback, and Wide Reciever trio. Some of the most infamous trios of all time are Aikman, Emmit Smith, and Michael Irvin, and Big Ben, Le'Veon Bell, and Antonio Brown. With some big moves in the NFL this offseason, I will be ranking the best triplets going into the '21-'22 season. * Disclaimer- This list is based on talent at the QB, RB, and WR positions only. Some people may consider TEs or two wide receivers and a Quarterback as a triplet but this is not what I based the rankings off of.* Honorable Mentions 12. New Orleans Saints: Jameis Winston- Alvin Kamara- Michael Thomas      The Saints are in a weird situation compared to the rest of the teams that made this list. They have a top 3 talent at running back in Kamara, and a stud wideout in Michael Thomas. Although in 2020 Thomas was injured a lot and had a down year for his standards. As for the QB, we are not 100% sure who ...

NFL MOCK DRAFT 2021

DOM'S 2021 NFL MOCK DRAFT  via NFL.com 1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence- QB, Clemson No need to explain this one, Lawrence has been projected to be the first guy taken in this Draft since 2018, an absolute no-brainer for the Jags. 2. New York Jets: Zach Wilson- QB, BYU The Jets trading Darnold to Carolina all but solidifies who they are taking at two. Zach Wilson is an absolute stud and if it weren't for Lawrence coming out this year he would be the #1 overall selection. Zach showed out on his Pro-Day and is perfect for New York and the Jets need him....badly. 3. San Francisco 49ers: (from MIA via HOU) Mac Jones- QB, Alabama The 49ers made a trade from the 12th spot in this draft all the way to the 3rd, they did this with a clear motive to take a QB. Sure Jimmy G is serviceable, but it appears that head coach Kyle Shanahan has plans to move on to a younger and cheaper quarterback. There is a lot of speculation that the Niners will take Trey Lance here instead but I thin...

Getting to Know NBA Rising Star: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

(AP Photo/ Michael Conroy)    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is off to a hot start in 2021. The Thunder's starting shooting guard is averaging 23.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists so far this season, and he's just getting started. SGA has been quietly lighting up the league this year and is finally beginning to make some noise. Last night, Shai dominated the San Antonio Spurs, putting up a career-high 42 points, along with 8 boards and 4 assists. His career night made headlines of course but this is not the first time this season that Gilgeous-Alexander has put up big numbers. He had nights scoring, 30, 31, and 33, prior to exploding for 42 against San Antonio.            A big reason for SGA's recent success is his perimeter shooting. Coming out of college he was known more for his elusive moves to the basket and ability to finish. We saw this a lot in his first few seasons in the league. Now in his third NBA season, he has shot the ball more...

SAVAGE EP Review

       Last week, The Kid LAROI dropped a new EP 'SAVAGE'which served as a deluxe to his album that dropped earlier this summer. The 7 song EP caught a lot of people's attention the past week and has brought in many new listeners for the 17-year-old phenom. Today I will review the 7 songs and give my personal opinion on them. (via @thekidlaroi on Instagram) 1. PIKACHU- The introductory song of the EP gives listeners a throwback feel. The beat of this song sounds like it is straight out of the late 90s or early 2000s. LAROI kills this song and shows us his versatility and ability to spit like a real rapper, rapping about his new yellow Lambo. This, to me, was a way of The Kid LAROI showing he belongs in the conversation with other up and coming artists. 2. SO DONE- Song two is a more traditionally sounding LAROI song, and something avid listener of his are used to hearing from him. This song came out a week before the rest of the EP and was a great way to give a sneak...

Is Dime's Time Up?

    Week 8 has just concluded and the New York Giants are halfway through their season sitting at 1-7, in the basement of the worst division in football. I didn't think it was possible for the G-Men to be this bad. Before the season, I predicted that the worst the Giants would go was 5-11 and somehow that doesn't even seem like a realistic record at this point. The blame for this can be put on a number of things like; the offensive line, the lack of a true number 1 receiver, playcalling, and injuries. But the true issue for the Giants is at the quarterback position. Through 8 games Daniel Jones' stats are as follows; 1,666 passing yards, 7 TDs, 9 interceptions, 4 fumbles, and 316 rush yards. He is 21st in the league in passing yards and 3rd in the league in picks thrown. At this point in the season, he should be beginning to take the next step to be a real NFL QB, and so far we have not seen this from Jones. DJ has still been making the same mistakes week after week ...

New York Giants 2020 Season Expectations

 New York Giants Expectations 2020 By: Dom Moscatello The 2020 NFL season will be like no season we have seen before. All fans are hoping to see a full 16 game season and a successful playoff, with all players, coaches, and staff on all 32 teams making it through the year safely. Giants fans specifically are looking for something different from what they have seen the last few years. With a more muscular sophomore QB, a star running back heading into his third season, and multiple defensive upgrades, what can Giants fans expect to see from the G-Men in 2020?      To begin, lets take a look at the offense. It starts at the most important position in not only football but all of sports, the QB. After a decent rookie season, Giants fans are praying Daniel Jones takes the next step this upcoming season. Touchdowns and completing passes was not the issue with Jones in 2019, throwing for 24 touchdowns and maintaining a completion percentage of 62%. The main concern for ...
