On Saturday night I was on Media Row for Rising Stars Promotions Boardwalk Boxing “Crossroads” at The Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City.

After
the final weekend of the 2015 College Football regular season, there are some
immediate topics that stand out to me.
While some storylines still need to be settled during Conference
Championship weekend we know for sure a few things:
1. Les Miles gets
redemption while LSU shows their true colors

With
the firing of former University of Miami Hurricanes Football Coach Al Golden,
Miami will be in search of their fifth Head Coach since 2000. “The U”, as it is famously and infamously
known as, has been in search of reclaiming their “glory years” for over a
decade. Back in the 1980’s Miami’s

With
the New York Mets win in Game Five of the NLDS, the Los Angeles Dodgers are
again eliminated from the playoffs in the early rounds. The reality is the Dodgers payroll is 60
million dollars more than the combined payrolls of both the NLCS teams in 2015:
Chicago Cubs and New York Mets.

On
Monday the Miami Dolphins fired their Head Coach Joe Philbin and installed
former NFL Tight End Dan Campbell as the Interim Head Coach. This will be Miami’s fourth Head Coach since
2008, a period of years with only one playoff appearance. Philbin represents
another failure of the so called “Offensive Gurus” in the NFL as Head

With the first quarter of the 2015 NFL season in the books, here are some of my takeaway thoughts after Week 4:
1. Too many Mediocre Kickers in the NFL.
The
bizarre trend started on Thursday night when Josh Scobee of the Pittsburgh
Steelers missed two Field Goals at the end of the game, allowing the Baltimore
Ravens chances to tie and win the game.

Southern
Methodist University has received punishment for breaking rules from the

Among the“charges” against SMU include Academic Misconduct and
Unethical Conduct in the Men’s Basketball Program along with lack of control of

Over
the weekend the New York Mets clinched their first playoff appearance since
2006. Of course Mets players and coaches
were excited, but so too are their long suffering fans. While on the road this past weekend I heard
numerous Mets fans calling local New York radio stations talking about how much
their team making the playoffs means to them.

After
Week Two of the 2015 NFL season there are nine teams off to a 0-2 start. Many
of these teams had pre-season expectations to make the playoffs. So what went
wrong between August 1st and September 22nd? Reality hit
that being “good on paper” does not equal success on the football field.
So I
am going to look at each of these 0-2 teams like a doctor: analyze the
symptoms, diagnose the Joshua Hennighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16701978268193379240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2706723753180274924.post-5488402503310925492015-09-21T08:52:00.001-04:002015-09-21T08:57:15.629-04:00The Real Difference between Philadelphia Eagles & Dallas CowboysWe have all heard the phrase “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it”. Well on the flip side, how about the phrase “If we do not learn from history then we are doomed to repeat it”? Week Two of the NFL season embodied those phrases in the matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. Two long standing rivals whose organizations are in very different situations.

Reports
have come out that the recent Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto Pay-Per-View fight
card only generated between 400,000 and 550,000 buys and the crowd at the MGM

major financial profit despite this supposedly being the “Money Mayweather”

Every
offseason, no matter the team sport, there are coaches fired and new ones
hired. The hope of these franchises is
that these new leaders can put the team in a position to win games and be a
successful organization on and off the field. But success is not always an
automatic result with a new Head Coach. Some coaches are not right
