NFL Rule Changes

A quick update on some new NFL rules. Today the NFL passed a rule that all turnovers will be reviewed. This adds on to last years rule, that all touchdowns are reviewed. I am on the fence with this rule, only because it leaves very little left for the coaches to challenge. Pretty soon the coaches may not even have a challenge, everything might as well be taken over by the booth officials.

Another rule change is that the regular season overtime will now be the same as the playoffs. This means that teams will not be able to lose on a first-possession field goal. I agree with this passing. There is no reason to change the rules once the playoffs start, this way fans, players,and coaches have all year to prepare and get use to the new rule.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk

Kansas is my pick to win the NCAA tournament. I pick them pretty much every year. I love KU basketball. As a perennial powerhouse they are usually a good team to bet on. Last year I thought they would win it for sure, but they were upset. This year 2 close calls, but they are still in it. Hopefully this is the year.

No Fun League Strikes again

With the news of the NFL's recent rulings on the Saints coaches involved in the bounty system, all I have to say is wow.  Sean Payton was suspended for the entire year. Greg Williams is out indefinitely. This is a huge deal because he is now the Rams defensive coordinator and they are now getting punished for something they had no involvement in.

Manning to Denver

Today Peyton Manning officially signed a contract with the Denver Broncos. With a 5 year, 96 million dollar deal Manning is now the highest paid player in the league. The signing of Manning brings many questions to the Broncos and instantly puts them into championship contention. What will happen to Tim Tebow though? Will Peyton adjust to the Broncos system and play at a high level? And most importantly is Peyton really healthy?

NBA Trades!

With the NBA trade deadline in less than a week, it's time to start exploring trade possibilities. The big one of course is where will Dwight Howard go? Will he even be traded? Can the Magic risk not trading him, only to see him walk away this summer? These are all questions that will be answered within the week.

Colts letting Peyton Go

The shocking news coming from Indianapolis is still riveting in my mind. Andrew Luck will presumably be the number one overall pick. But, is he going to be Peyton Manning?  It’s doubtful. Manning is a one of a kind quarterback, and the Colts are making a huge mistake. However, the Colts mistake is going to be another team’s treasure.
