Its looking like the Chargers have a future star in Justin Herbert

Wiki Article

Ah, good morning, friend. We've got a fine Tuesday on our hands and there's sports to discu s, so let's get you out from under that pile of blankets and start your day by slamming some sports knowledge into your brain. You don't even have to put a shirt on if you don't want to... we can J.R. Smith it together.Let's get to it. What you need to know 1. , rally to beat in OT We only had one NFL game on Monday night (something that should be normal but actually seems out of the ordinary these days) and, thankfully, it was wildly enjoyable. and the Chargers traveled to New Orleans to take on Drew Brees and the Saints in a game that was somewhat of a rollercoaster and needed overtime to decide a winner.Early on, it looked like the Chargers were going to run away with things -- at one point in the first half, Los Angeles held a 20-3 advantage while Drew Brees was playing like a washed noodle-arm. But Brees and the Saints rallied in the second half and forced OT before winning 30-27. Some takeaways, Why the Saints won: Brees closed strong and and stepped up with clutch performances. The team's best defenders -- namely , and -- rose to the occasion to disrupt LA's offense down the stretchWhy the Chargers lost: Questionable coaching and blown execution hurt them. Anthony Lynn got too conservative and took the ball out of Herbert's hands too much late in the game. The secondary gave up too many big plays in the second half as well. It certainly didn't help that Michael Badgley's potential game-winning field goal from 50 yards out clanked off the upright at the end of regulationOf course, it's worth mentioning that Herbert was pretty spectacular last night, even in defeat. He threw for four touchdowns in his first game as permanent Chargers starter, becoming the first rookie QB to ever throw four TDs on Monday Night Football. The kid isn't flawle s but he's impre sive and fun to watch. It doesn't even look like Alex Avila Jersey he's trying that hard when he zips the ball downfield with ease. It looks like LA got a good one. Unfortunately for , he might want to get comfortable and hire himself a good lawyer. 2. Ranking MLB's managerial openings The White Sox were one of the most fun teams in baseball this year and there's no doubt that they've got the talent to contend, especially offensively. That's why it was disappointing to see their playoff run end so quickly (they were eliminated by the A's in the Wild Card Round) and why There are now three vacant managerial jobs acro s MLB. So, which of those jobs is the most attractive to prospective managers? Our Dayn Perry has ranked them from most-to-least appealing: White Sox - Chicago has had an upward trajectory over the past few years and they're coming off a breakout season in which they won at a .583 clip, tied for second place in the tough AL Central and matched the Rays for best run differential in the AL. They've got a young, impre sive core and ownership has shown a willingne s to spend to build around that core. The only downside to the job is the pre sure to win right awayRed Sox - They're coming off a terrible season (one that largely came by design following the Mookie Betts trade) but they still do have talent and boatloads of cash at their disposal if they choose to actually spend. They should be able to get back to being competitive in 2021, and the low bar set by this past season might lower initial expectations for the new managerTigers - Detroit has some young talent in place (especially in the pitching department) and their ownership takes winning seriously when it's feasible. The bad news is they're currently situated in a tough division, their player development track record isn't the greatest, and they've had little succe s over the past handful of yearsHere's my question: Do we truly believe that the Red Sox job is up for grabs or do we think that they're just going to re-hire Alex Cora following his one-year suspension? I've said since the beginning of the season that I thought there was a high probability that they'd end up bringing back Cora, and I feel more confident than ever that's what's going to happen. 3. The Dodgers finally lost a playoff game After the Rays and Astros played what may have been the most ignored ALCS game in MLB history on Sunday, they were back on the diamond yesterday...and they weren't alone. Both Championship Series matchups are underway, as the Dodgers and Braves kicked off the NLCS on Monday.Both Atlanta and Los Angeles entered Game 1 undefeated in the playoffs so far, but only one gets to wake up this morning still perfect... Braves win Game 1 with big ninth inning: That's right, the Dodgers have finally lost a game. Atlanta took Game 1 by a score of 5-1 but it Jorge De La Rosa Jersey was . The teams took a 1-1 tie into the ninth inning before the Braves connected for a pair of home runs in a four-run frame. Atlanta's pitching dominated (again) and Max Fried put in six innings of strong workRays go up 2-0 as Astros shoot themselves in foot: Houston on Monday. Jose Altuve and Yuli Gurriel combined for a brutal error on a routine play that opened the door for a back-breaking three-run homer in the first inning. The Astros also stranded 11 runners and went 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position. That's 21 runners stranded and 2 for 14 with RISP through the first two games of this series for Houston.Everyone, including myself, seemed to automatically pencil in the Dodgers for the World Series but, if Monday's opener was any indication, we could have ourselves quite the NLCS. That should be exciting. On the other side, the Rays are firmly in the driver's seat at this point -- MLB teams that take a 2-0 lead in a best-of-seven series have gone on to win the series 85 percent of the time.The good news for Houston? A team from Tampa Bay hasn't beaten a team from Texas in a championship series since... incoming call from the NHL ... ah, right. 4. Grading Week 5 performances So, this is very weird. It's Tuesday and yet the NFL week isn't technically over yet thanks to tonight's Bills-Titans game -- a matchup between two unbeaten teams! -- but we're going to have Arizona Diamondbacks Jersey to move forward with our weekly NFL report card anyway.
