Broncos Will Take On an NFL-Record $85M in Dead Cap by Releasing Russell Wilson
I’m no football expert, but I’ll still go on a whim and say that this trade might be the worse in NFL history since the Vikings traded for Herschel Walker from Dallas.

Good to see Johnny Manziel taking a stand and dropping facts because Reggie Bush should be allowed to get his Heisman back.

Ex-Jet Mecole Hardman Denies Accusations of Leaked Game Plans
This is definitely crazy and unheard of. If it’s found out that Hardman did indeed game plans, he should never be allowed to play in the NFL again. In fact, if he’s as innocent he says he is he should sue.

Francisco Alvarez Talks 1st Homer of Spring and Learning English w/ SNY
Gotta love how driven Alvarez is and his defense as well as handling of the pitching staff is above par. Now if he can hit about .240 to .250, cut down on the strikeouts and hit 30 HRs, he’ll give the Mets a shot at a wildcard berth this year.

Eric Bieniemy Taking The UCLA Offensive Coordinator Job Is Really Not A Big Deal
Honestly, I don’t think this is as a big deal as SAS and others are making it out to be. Because, simply put, not everything is about race–which is what SAS tried to attach to Bieniemy in the first place. And that’s certainly not the coach’s fault. Bieniemy, for whatever reason, could be such a bad interviewee that he decided to quit attempting to get head coaching jobs, stick it out as an offensive coordinator instead, still get paid handsomely and take the OC job that best fits him, whether that’s in the NFL or college football. Shoot, as we’ve seen time and time again, some coordinators are just meant to be coordinators.

Mets Need To Wear Jersey Patch to Honor Bud Harrelson This Year
A few days ago the Boston Red Sox announced that they’d be wearing a patch this season to honor Tim Wakefield, the longtime Sox knuckleballer who passed away this offseason. Yet, the Mets haven’t said a word about honoring former player, coach and manager Bud Harrelson, who passed away last month. Is something amiss here? Granted, Harrelson wasn’t as beloved a Met as say a Gary Carter or Tom Seaver. But he did spend 13 years in NY, was a 2x champ (as player and coach) and was a 2x All-Star who spent a majority of his professional career with the club in a variety of capacities. Owner, Steve Cohen came to the Mets stating that he wants to embrace the team’s past and he’s done a pretty good job with that so far. Now he needs to do the right thing and honor Harrelson.
Edwin Diaz Talks Rehab Process, Throwing Live BP, Opening Day | SNY
As their roster stands right now, I think the 2024 Mets will win at most 70 games. That said, it’s still nice to see Edwin Diaz back and healthy again as I expect our closer to perform at his usual sublime level and save 30 to 35 games this season.

Tylor Megill on Opportunity to Make Mets Rotation After Kodai Senga Injury | SNY
At this point it’s not even about Tylor getting another shot at the rotation. It’s about Tylor finally stepping up and taking advantage of the many chances he’s been given over the years.

Brandon Nimmo Fine with Shift to Left Field: ‘Whatever is Best’
Brandon Nimmo is proud of his work as a center fielder but understood there was an opportunity for the Mets over the winter to get even stronger at the position.
So when president of baseball operations David Stearns contacted him in November about potentially moving to left field, Nimmo said he didn’t protest.
“I told him, ‘Honestly, my goal at this point in my career is to win a World Series,’ ” Nimmo said Monday after the Mets’ initial full-squad workout of spring training. “If you think that creating the better outfield defense or adding these guys to our roster is going to help our chances of winning the World Series then I will do that.
“I’m a good center fielder, but if you bring someone else in, we’re going to have a really dang good outfield. That is what I was trying to convey to him is that I’m definitely willing and available to do whatever is best for us to win the World Series.”
This is such a bad move imo. Nimmo is a really good CF’er and has proven himself in the field for years. And now he’s gotta move over to Left for some new guy named Harrison Bader?! I know Nimmo’s humility won’t allow him to care, but how disrespectful on the Mets part.

Lenny Dykstra Recovering From Stroke
NYPost.com:
Former major league outfielder Lenny Dykstra had a stroke this week and is recovering at a Los Angeles hospital, the New York Post reported Thursday.
The Post reported that Darryl Strawberry and Kevin Mitchell, teammates of Dykstra on the New York Mets, said Dykstra was in good spirits and set to undergo further evaluation at UCLA Medical Center.
The former players said Dykstra had been moved out of intensive care. Mitchell told the Post that Dykstra would likely be hospitalized into next week.
“He’s laying down, but he is being Lenny,” Mitchell told the Post. “We get to an age now where we have got to take care of ourselves. I told him he has to take more care of himself. You can’t let stress bother you. He’s been through a lot. I love him with all my heart.”
Hope for a speedy recovery.
