Ah the Chargers. The Chargers who have made a precise science out of losing games they should win. I’ve seen many shockers in the past from this lot. Missed field goals, shocking interceptions, and the like. But nothing that quite compares to what they did against the Titans.
If the Wellington Phoenix get to be a work in progress, accepting their two opening defeats with encouragement because of the unique rebuilding situation they find themselves in, then the NZ Breakers get to have the same treatment too because... I mean, just look at it all.
People keep trying to talk up an MVP race with various candidates and I have to keep pointing out that there is only one candidate and it’s Russell Wilson. He’s far and away the most important and the best performing player in 2019. This is the year we’ll look back on after his career as the highlight. Like Brady in 2007 or Rodgers in 2011.
All you need to know about Christian McCaffrey is that at the rate he’s going, he’s on pace to record 2771 yards from scrimmage with 22 total touchdowns in 2019. The all-time record for yards from scrimmage in a season is 2509 yards (Chris Johnson in 2009). That’s incredible.
The state of the Oklahoma City Thunder has changed drastically over the last few months but all the words that are spoken and all the deals that get made and all the hypotheticals… nothing quite hits home like that first opportunity to see the team together in uniform ahead of a new season.
Here we are at the quarter stage of the season already and still absolutely nothing makes sense. Except for the Patriots, unfortunately. But apart from them we’ve got backup quarterbacks outplaying their starters, we’ve got Green Bay winning games with Aaron Rodgers playing within himself…
Remember like two weeks ago when Corey Webster wanted to take up that offer to play in Turkey and the Breakers didn’t wanna let him go because as a local player of the skill level that Webby is it was just impossible to replace him this close to the start of the season? Yeah well that problem doesn’t exist for import players.
