Mark Vientos Reacts to J.D. Martinez Signing by the Mets, How it Impacts his Spot on the Team | SNY

23 Mar

He’s getting a lot of flak online for his demeanor in this interview, but I’m not mad at him. Simply put, the Mets have given him shot after shot and he just hasn’t produced. So what he’s supposed to be, all smiles and cupcakes? He should be upset. And I’m sure that he knows he has to play better to get on the big stage and stay there. The Mets have a long and notorious history of draft busts, but J.D. Martinez was only signed to a 1-year deal and it’s not too late for Vientos to comeback, turn it around and be part of the future with the Mets.

Steve Cohen Says He Doesn’t Expect Long-Term Deal with Pete Alonso Before Season Ends

17 Mar

An upcoming season that already doesn’t look promising gets even worse news. And it’s almost like Cohen has no idea how much Pete means to Met fans. Plus with all the talk of the Mets pursuing Juan Soto after 2024, what’s their backup plan for when Pete leaves? In other words, does no one in the organization understand how hard it is to replace a guaranteed 40 HRs and 100 RBIs a year?

Ryan Clark Calls Lamar Jackson The First “Authentic” Black Quarterback

16 Mar

I’m aware that Clark just signed a new ESPN deal. And he’s certainly doing a great job at going viral and keeping his name in the news with all the fire’s he’s been starting lately, whether that’s with Tiki Barber or other sport pundits. But opining from the experience of being a former NFL player and just utterly failing to do your research and saying something stupid is another. Like calling Lamar Jackson the first “authentic” Black QB when past legends like Randall Cunningham, Michael Vick, Warren Moon, Patrick Mahomes and Doug Williams have played the game?!? Really Ryan, do better.

Aaron Rodgers for Vice-President?!?

13 Mar

Of course, this is ridiculous. But then that’s what comes with the circus that is Aaron Rodgers, who should be laying low and getting himself 100 percent healthy so he can be ready for the upcoming 2024 Jets season. Especially after taking only 4 snaps last season before getting injured for the rest of the year. I mean, does Rodgers ever think about how it looks to the average Jets fan who sees him peddling in politics or feuding with comedians or doing interviews on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and wonders how much he prioritizes his job over whatever other shenanigans hes involved with? Probably not. And that’s a huge problem, especially when you’re paying the guy $40M a year.

About That Women’s Basketball LSU, South Carolina Fight

11 Mar

Honestly, people are overblowing what happened with the scuffle. These two teams have an intense rivalry with real feelings involved…thus, as expected, a fight or two will happen sometimes with the appropriate ejections and possible suspensions. All in all no one got seriously hurt and women’s college basketball gets more attention, which is a plus.

Shannon Sharpe Needs To Ignore The Haters

9 Mar

Honestly, I never even watched Sharpe’s now-infamous and highly viewed Katt Williams interview. And that’s just because I’ve never been that interested in what Katt Williams has to say. That being said, ever since the Katt interview it’s pretty clear that Sharpe has gained a lot in both popularity and haters. Especially from online trolls, messy/lying comedians and former professional athletes who seem to be really envious of Sharpe’s rising success. And while Sharpe has every right to clap back at all of them. The NFL Hall-of-Famer would be wiser to ignore them, keep doing what eh’s been doing and keep counting that paper.
