Kyrie Finally Gets His Wish

After Kyrie Irving told management he wanted to be traded, they were hesitant at first. But, I guess they saw he was serious about leaving and didn't want to be there anymore. Kyrie wanted to be the number one guy and was tired of being in LeBron shadow, especially after hitting that dagger in game seven of the 2016 NBA Finals that won them the championship over the Golden State Warriors.

Kyrie Irving was traded to the Boston Celtics last night, in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets 2018 first round draft pick. The best part of the trade for the Cavaliers was getting the Nets 2018 draft pick.

The shocking part is the Cleveland Cavaliers traded Kyrie Irving to their biggest threat in the Eastern Conference which was very surprising. The new addition of Kyrie to the Celtics makes them the favorite on paper to come out the East. With the tandem of Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward that makes them a scary team. The Celtics may have lost IT, but they upgraded at the point guard position. Isaiah Thomas was a defensive liability because of his height; he also had hip problems. So the Kyrie trade was a slam dunk for the Celtics. The only part of this deal the Celtics lost in was giving up the 2018 Brooklyn Nets first round pick. The Celtics even got to keep young studs Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown which was very shocking.

If Colin Kaepernick was in the NBA would he be out of a job?

 It's obnoxious that Colin Kaepernick still hasn't been at least invited to a team's training camp, let alone not be a starting quarterback for an NFL team. There are a few teams that desperately need a quarterback the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and the Denver Broncos.

Yesterday the Miami Dolphins signed Jay Cutler, to a one year $10 million dollar deal. This is very shocking since Jay Cutler is coming off shoulder surgery. Jay Cutler only threw for 1,059 passing yards, four touchdown passes, four interceptions, and five fumbles in his five games before a season ending shoulder injury. Not to mention, Jay Cutler quarterback rating was 27.9. Some NBA players averaged more points per game than Cutler's QBR. That is flat out horrible; it is no way a retired Quarterback should get picked over Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick isn't perfect, but he was able to throw for 2,241 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, and only four interceptions in twelve games.

The Cleveland Browns desperately need a quarterback; Brock Osweiler is not the answer. He is more inconsistent than the stock market. Osweiler threw 16 interceptions and 15 touchdowns. DeShone Kizer still needs practice and to gain NFL experience before he becomes the starter. Kaepernick would have helped this team tremendously. Plus Hue Jackson loves mobile quarterbacks.

With Ryan Tannehill, having yet another knee injury, the Dolphins were desperate for a quarterback. We all know Jay Cutler wasn't the answer. Their excuse was that Jay Cutler knew the system. The real reason was they didn't want to deal with the  media attention from Kaepernick's social justice stand.

The NFL should be ashamed, that NFL players can hit women, steal merchandise, kill people, and get a fine and a suspension and will be back on the field like nothing happened. But, if a man stands up for something he believes in he gets chastised and blackballed. That says a lot about the NFL thinking; it shows the NFL is still afraid of change.

You the mean to tell the New York Jets didn't need Colin Kaepernick. They rather have Christian Hackenberg over Colin Kaepernick, that's absurd.

The Denver Broncos are a quarter back away from another Super Bowl run; now I'm not saying Kaepernick is a superstar quarterback. But, he would give the Denver Broncos a better shot at a championship run, then Trevor Siemian.

The NBA is light years ahead of the NFL, in regards to letting their players use freedom of speech. We have seen the NBA players wear I can't breathe shirts after Eric Garner lost his life to a police officer choking him. The NFL has yet to do that; the NBA commissioner praises NBA stars for using their platform to speak on something they believe in. The only thing you hear the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, talk about is who is fining and suspending.

But ask yourself with the talent Kaepernick has, would he be out of a job if he played in the NBA?

2017-18 NFL Season Kicks off Tonight

NFL Football is back! Tonight the NFL Hall of Fame Preseason game will take place. The two teams that will be playing are the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Arizona Cardinals.

Although it's just preseason, everyone has been waiting for football to come back on and we're not talking about soccer.

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a phenomenal 13-3 record from last season. They look to build on that momentum tonight. We will only get to see the Cowboys prolific offense, of Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliot, Dez Bryant, Cole Beasley, and the brick wall offensive line for a series or two. But, that's all we need to see.

What most Cowboys fans and fans, in general, want to see is if Dallas young defense will sink or swim. Cowboys secondary was built through this year's draft, spending a bulk of their draft picks on safeties and corners. Also, we will see if Taco Charlton was the right for Dallas depleted defensive line.

Another young future star will get to see tonight for the Dallas Cowboys, is Ryan Switzer, a former North Carolina standout wide receiver and punt returner. During Switzer's four years at North Carolina, he returned seven punt returns for touchdowns. The Cowboys have starved for a punt returner for the longest. They didn't want to overwork Cole Beasley and Dez Bryant. In my eyes, Ryan Switzer was the steal of the draft.

On the Arizona Cardinals side, the Cardinals are coming off a disappointing season. Last season, the Cardinals finished 7-8-1. But, the only bright spot for the Cardinals, was the emergence of star running back David Johnson. He does it all! As Carson Palmer gets older, the younger quarterbacks will get to make their case on why they should be the next QB to lead the franchise.

Former Temple star, Haason Reddick should cause havoc for opposing teams quarterbacks alongside Chandler Jones.

Tonight's game will take place 8 PM EST on NBC & NFL Network.
