Deion Sanders Could be the Stepping Stone to Bring Big Time Talent Back to HBCU Sports

This past Monday, Deion Sanders became the Head Football Coach at Jackson State. 

For those that don’t know, Jackson State is a member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). This past season Jackson State finished 4-8 overall and 3-4 in the SWAC. 

The SWAC is one of four historically black colleges and university conferences(HBCU); the other three conferences are the CIAA, MEAC, and the SIAC conferences. 

Deion Sanders is a huge deal for not just Jackson State University, but HBCU schools in general. 

The first big signing this year for HBCU sports was Makur Maker signing to Howard University, but Deion Sanders becoming the head football coach at Jackson State University takes HBCU sports to another level.

Deion already has a Mississippi State freshman defensive back, Javorrius Selmon, transferring to play with Jackson State because he wants to play for Deion Sanders. That is the first of many transfers and signings to come.

This could get the ball rolling to get more big-name former star professional athletes to coach at HBCUs and current five-star athletes that are currently at these “power conference schools” such as LSU, Alabama, Kentucky, Kansas to transfer to a HBCU and change the narrative and bring the same revenue they are giving these PWI institutions to HBCU’s. 

HBCU’s sports talent level in the 70-90s was astounding. During the 70s-90s, HBCU had high caliber talent such as Willis Reed at Grambling State University, Earl the Pearl Monroe at Winston Salem, Rick Mahorn at Hampton, Shannon Sharpe at Shannon Sharpe, Jerry Rice at Mississippi Valley State University, Michael Strahan at Texas Southern Dick Barnett at Tennessee State, Edwin Moses at Morehouse, Wilma Rudolph at Tennessee State, Yolanda Laney at Cheyney University, Doug Williams at Grambling State, Steve McNair at Alcorn State, and Althea Gibson at Florida State. 

In the 2000s era, the talent level had dropped off. HBCU’s lost the talent level to the big schools because of “more TV exposure,” but with Deion Sanders, kids know the cameras will be tuned into HBCU sports, now that Primetime is in the building.  

With what’s been going on in the news due to continued police brutality, if it isn’t clear by now the way people of non-African American descent think of African Americans, you probably live under a rock.

It is now more crucial than ever to focus on building up our own community because we are always helping other races, but when it comes to social injustices matters to African Americans, most people from different races go MIA. 

It is time to take back what is ours, and what better way to start that by building up powerhouse HBCUs sports programs to generate revenue for our HBCUs and go toe to toe like the old days against these powerhouse PWI programs that were built by star African Americans athletes.

NASCAR Takes a Stand Against Social Injustice and Police Brutality Towards African Americans

In NASCAR, a predominantly white sport, Darrell Bubba Wallace Jr. showed insurmountable courage yesterday, by racing in a car painted in Black Lives Matter. 

On the hood of the car, he had painted compassion, love, and understanding. Three things that are very important in this current climate, the protests have been going on for three weeks now, we have made some traction, big chain stores are taking action in speaking out against social injustices to African Americans and people of color. 

But, that is only the beginning they need to also implement plans to better diversify their organizations in the board rooms, help underfunded African American neighborhoods and schools, speaking out against injustices is only the beginning, but far from the end. 

A few weeks ago NASCAR drivers made a video speaking out against the social injustices and police brutality African Americans face in this country.

This week, they removed all the confederate flags at race tracks, this could be detrimental to their pockets considering the fan base for NASCAR is predominantly white southern males. NASCAR shows they’re willing to lose a few dollars to stand up to social injustice to do what’s right!

I don’t think this would have happened without Darrell Bubba Wallace Jr. 

Darrell Bubba Wallace Jr. stated, “My next step would be to get rid of Confederate flags at race tracks.” That is exactly what he did. 

Dallas Cowboys Bolster QB Situation Amid Dak Prescott’s Contract Conflict

This past Saturday, the Dallas Cowboys signed former Cincinnati Bengals starting Quarterback for nine seasons Andy Dalton, to a one year deal worth $3 million, with bonuses that could lead to a total of $7 million. 

Currently, Andy Dalton is ranked 44th all-time in passing yards with 31,594.

Andy Dalton's career stats are 31.594 passing yards, 204 passing touchdowns, 118 interceptions, 1,221 rushing yards, and 22 rushing touchdowns. 

Dallas signs a veteran quarterback who can lead this talented offense if Dak & the Cowboys front office continue to have issues completing a deal that both sides agree on.

Dallas has not a second to waste with championship contention window ticking, so signing a veteran Quarterback in Dalton was a smart idea.

Dalton's career recordas a starter is 70-61 in his career. 

However, if everything goes as planned and Dak gets the deal he wants. Dalton will be a great backup Quarterback to have.

Dallas Cowboys Make Huge Splash in NFL Draft

The Dallas Cowboys shocked the world last with their first-round pick. The Dallas Cowboys selected star Oklahoma wide receiver, CeeDee Lamb, with the 17^th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft last night. CeeDee Lamp was projected as high as going to the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 9^th pick.

CeeDee Lamb turns Dallas offense from good to powerhouse! Defenses can no longer stack the back on Ezekiel Elliot with three good receivers in Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lamb. 

The player that benefits the most from the Cowboys drafting CeeDee Lamb is Ezekiel Elliot, he now will not have to face a stacked and can go back to bursting through the wide-open holes the robust offensive line will give him.

Dak Prescott has numerous options to throw to, Dallas and Dak must hurry up and get this deal done, so Dak and CeeDee can build chemistry and timing. 

CeeDee Lamb had a tremendous three-year season with the Oklahoma Sooners. In those three years with the Sooners, he recorded 3,292 receiving yards, 32 receiving touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown.

CeeDee Lamb can do it all he plays the slot receiver or play the outside receiver; he is an electric player.

Dallas Cowboys offense will be nothing short of exhilarating if everyone stays healthy. 

Dallas can now focus on bolstering the secondary and the pass rush.

Dallas still has six picks left to use in the draft, one pick in the second, third, and fourth round, two in the fifth round, and one pick in the seventh round.

Baltimore Ravens Bolster Defensive Line with Calais Campbell Trade

Earlier today the Jacksonville Jaguars traded Pro Bowl Defensive End Calais Campbell to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2020 5th round pick.

Over the last two seasons, Calais Campbell had a total of 17 sacks. In the past two out of three seasons, he has averaged at least 10 or more sacks per season. 


This a very vital edition to the Baltimore Ravens defensive line who only had one player who has averaged more than 1 sack in the 2019 NFL season which was Chris Wormley.

 Matt Judon who averaged 9.5 sacks this past season was a linebacker. 

Tyus Bowser also a linebacker had 5 sacks this past season.

Most of the Baltimore Ravens sacks came from their linebacker core.

Calais Campbell will add the dynamic force this defensive line desperately needs, this Baltimore Ravens defense should add even more pressure on opposing Quarterbacks in the 2020 season, which will lead to even more interceptions by ball hawks Earl Thomas, Marlon Humphrey, and Marcus Peters. 

This was an outstanding move by the Baltimore Ravens and even was able to restructure the Calais Campbell deal for two years for $27 million. $20 of that 27 million is guaranteed.

We will soon see how this deal turns out for the Baltimore Ravens.

Super Bowl LIV Breakdown

Today we finally get to watch the Super Bowl game we have been waiting for two weeks. We get to see the Kansas City Chiefs high powered offense go against the San Fransisco 49ers stifling defense.

Kansas City Chiefs offense has averaged 43 points per game in the playoffs. San Fransisco 49ers defense has only given up 15 points per game in the playoffs. This will be a very interesting game with the top offense versus the top defense.

Kansas City Chiefs

For the Kansas City Chiefs to win the game, they must force Jimmy Garoppolo to win the 49ers the game. For that to happen Patrick Mahomes and the high powered offense must do what they do best put up points fast. Mahomes must test the 49ers secondary by throwing the deep ball to Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, or Sammy Watkins. The Kansas City Chiefs defense must stop what the 49ers do best running the ball. If the Chiefs defense can stop the running game from Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman, they should be in a great position to win Super Bowl LIV. They can't let Mostert have another monster game as he did in the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers where he rushed for 220 yards and four touchdowns.  The San Fransisco 49ers have averaged 208 yards per game on the ground in the playoffs.

San Fransisco 49ers

For the San Fransisco 49ers to win the game, they must stop Patrick Mahomes and the high powered Chiefs offense. To do that, Richard Sherman must follow Tyreek Hill wherever he goes, he's the only shot they have of stopping Hill. Also, that dynamic pass rush in Dee Ford and Joey Bosa must put pressure on Mahomes and get some sacks. On offense the 49ers must do what they do best run the ball, the less Jimmy G has to throw the ball the better. Jimmy G hasn't thrown for 200 yards or more yet in the playoffs.

Prediction

 My prediction for Super Bowl LIV is the Kansas City Chiefs will beat the San Fransisco 49ers 35-14.

Cowboys- Eagles Showdown Preview

The Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles will have a showdown tonight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.

Both teams are playing for first place in the NFC East, both teams have something to prove after embarrassing losses last Sunday. The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Minnesota Vikings 38-20, after Kirk Cousins torched their secondary, with his dynamic wide receiver tandem of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs.

The Dallas Cowboys tried to come back down 21-3 against the New York Jets only to fall short by a two-point conversion incomplete pass from Dak Prescott to Jason Witten. This lead the Dallas Cowboys to losing to former winless New York Jets 24-22.

Injury Report

Both teams are pretty banged up the Philadelphia Eagles, will be without DeSean Jackson, Jason Peters, Tim Jernigan, and Ronald Darby is questionable for tonight's game.

The Dallas Cowboys have five players questionable to play tonight in Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb, Byron Jones, Tyron Smith, and La'el Collins.

Both teams have key players not playing tonight or are questionable and are game-time decisions to play in this crucial NFC East game.

Keys to the Eagles winning the game

For the Philadelphia Eagles to win tonight, Carson Wentz must be relaxed in the pocket  and get all receivers involved and not just try to throw to his favorite target Zach Ertz  the majority of the time. Wentz must get Nelson Agholor acclimated in the passing game, they have been desperate for a deep threat since DeSean Jackson has been injured.

The Dallas Cowboys have some great linebackers in Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch. Also, if Byron Jones plays he will probably have that assignment of covering Ertz the whole game.


Also, the Eagles will need to get Jordan Howard acclimated in the running game to wear down the Dallas Cowboys dynamic front seven, to make Wentz job easier.

Keys to the Cowboys winning the game

The keys to the Dallas Cowboys winning the game, the Cowboys must establish the running game early. The Cowboys must get Ezekiel Elliot involved in the game early, he has had great success against the Eagles thus far in his career. They also need to implement promising rookie Tony Pollard as well in the running game to keep Zeke fresh.

Also, Dak Prescott must step up tonight and play as well as he did Week 1 and 2. Although they were against teams with losing records, he needs to play with that same confidence against good teams. Kellen Moore needs to call plays as he did in Week 1 and 2, to give Dak the green light to throw the ball deep against a  horrendous Eagles secondary.

Lastly, the Dallas Cowboys defense needs to go back to playing as they did earlier in the first few weeks of the season. The first three games the defense only allowed 14.6 points per game, the last three games the defense has allowed  23.3 points per game.

The defense must get their edge back tonight if they want to slow down a Philadelphia Eagles dynamic offense.

Game Prediction

My prediction for the game is the Dallas Cowboys will beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-20.
