A more balanced attack has gotten Miami to the cusp of the postseason, but can they survive without Ryan Tannehill? (Getty Images)
The Dolphins secured an all-important win on Sunday, but they lost their starting quarterback, Ryan Tannehill, in the process. This has been a tale of two seasons for the Dolphins, as they started 1-4 before reeling off a 7-1 stretch to get to 8-5. The catalyst for this turnaround seems to be a resurrection of sorts for Tannehill, which will hereafter be referred to as the Tannerrection. I wanted to take a deeper look at the Tannerrection, and try to figure out where the Dolphins can go from here. Continue reading

There are many ways to affect a basketball game. Most notable among these is scoring. But what if you already play on a team with two All-World scorers? What if, and this might be a stretch, you play on a team with two of the greatest scorers who ever lived, and a third player who must be involved in any “greatest shooter ever” discussion? What then? By now, you have probably seen through my rhetorical questions to know that I am talking about someone on the Golden State Warriors, and I am. A player in this situation can, correctly, deduce that their team does not need more scoring. Instead, they need someone to do everything else. Right now, without looking, answer this question: How many players are top-20 in four different statistical categories right now? The answer is one. Nobody does more than Draymond Green and, for that, he is the best player in the NBA. Continue reading

News broke on Tuesday that the Mets had reached a deal to bring Yoenis Cespedes back. The details of this contract are four years and $110 million. The more mathematically-inclined readers will point out that this is an average of $27.5 million dollars per season. If that sounds like a lot, it’s because it is: This represents the second-highest annual average guarantee for a position player, ever. So, the question on everyone’s mind is: Is this a good deal? Let’s find out. Continue reading

Despite his early career struggles, is Blake Bortles career savable? (Getty Images)
Nine. That’s the number of games Blake Bortles has played in which he did not throw an interception. Six. That’s the number of games in which Bortles was sacked six or more times. One. That’s the number of games Bortles has played in which he did not get sacked. By this point, a lot of people feel that the book has been written on Bortles, and that he is not a viable NFL quarterback. The truth is that the Jaguars are probably stuck with him for at least one more year before it becomes financially viable to cut ties with Bortles. Obviously, the most important question to answer is: How much is Blake Bortles to blame for the Jaguars’ struggles? Continue reading
