My Thoughts About the Rangers Latest Acquisitions
The 2024 Winter Meetings in Dallas, TX have been busy. If you aren't familiar with Winter Meetings, it's an opportunity for all 30 Major League Baseball teams to bolster their rosters by trading and signing players. The biggest headline during this offseason was Juan Soto recently signing with the New York Mets. His record-breaking contract has since caused controversy, with some calling it insane and others questioning his ability to make a significant impact with the Mets. I still believe that a salary cap needs to be put in place, because no athlete is worth $765 million or even $700 million, the amount currently being paid to Shohei Ohtani over the next 10 years. Seeking to be paid more isn't immoral but feeling that you're entitled of being paid nearly a billion dollars is selfish. I don't care what good intentions both the Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers organizations have.

Road Warriors
There they are, folks. Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon. These are my two favorite players currently in the NHL. It's amazing that I've seen each of their careers since Day One. When Sid started, MacKinnon idolized him, especially since they came from that same place: Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. Sid was drafted back in 2005 by the Penguins, while the Avs would draft MacKinnon #1 overall eight years later.

Wide Open Invitation (Week 15)
We are now down to the final four weeks of the regular season; not at the holidays yet, but we are very close. We are actually one week away from having Saturday NFL games, and I've always loved Saturday football--especially with flex scheduling involved. I know this much: there are no more byes for the rest of the regular season. For the final four weeks, all 32 teams play, with most of them actually playing for something. It's gut check time for sure. The numbers are thinning out quickly, and teams need to get wins now, or face a nuclear winter.

NFL Week 14 Recap: 86 Points
Holy moley, what a shootout in the OK Corral! You know, the Los Angeles Rams seem to be magnets for offense-filled shootouts. I still remember that game against the Chiefs from a few years ago that saw over 100 points scored. This one wasn't 100 points, but it had a lot of scoring. It had the Rams leading big, but the Bills managed to scratch and claw their way into a possible comeback, but the Rams managed to score late to make it a nine point game--the lowest possible two-possession lead. The Bills got in, but the onside kick came up short for them. The Rams ran down the clock and got the huge win, the biggest win of the season.
