Baker Mayfield Will Get Fat Contract In Off-Season Is He Worth It

 Baker Mayfield has had a rollercoaster NFL career so far and he still is very young by NFL standards. Mayfield was drafted No.1 by the Cleveland Browns and has bounced around four teams so far. In 2023 he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hoping to launch his career once again in the NFL. Many people thought he would be great in Cleveland and there it was a rollercoaster for him in Cleveland. Two other stops in Carolina and Los Angeles did show he still has something left in the tank.

In Tampa Bay it looks like Baker Mayfield has found a home. He signed a cap friendly deal with the Buccaneers hoping for a long-term deal in Tampa or somewhere else. Mayfield played at a high-level throwing for over 4000 yards and leading the Buccaneers to another divisional title and playoff appearance. It could not go any better for Baker Mayfield and along the way he collected incentives that he reached.

Now the Buccaneers must pay Mayfield for his services as many other teams in March will be contacting Mayfield as well. Mayfield could see a long-term deal worth over 100 million dollars. Baker has indicated that he wants to stay In Tampa, so that does bode well for the Buccaneers. Sometimes it takes players sometime to mature in the NFL to be really good. In the coming years we will see if that is Baker Mayfield's case as well.

Milwaukee Brewers Have Pocketbook Zipped Closed This Off-Season

 

Many people are wondering what is going on with the Milwaukee Brewers and free agency. It's really simple nothing is going on at all. Milwaukee has decided not to spend and it leaves many Brewers fans scratching their heads. Being a long-time Brewers fan this has been the norm for as long as I can remember. Management has never been big spenders and that will not change anytime soon.

Fans continue to wonder why they won't spend and the reality is this franchise traditionally has never been big spenders. Their philosophy has always been to build through the draft or trades and that will not change anytime soon. Every now and then they will spend some money, but for the most part, they will not part with big money in free agency.

Over the years I have learned to enjoy Brewers baseball the way it is now and that won't change. Enjoy the players while they play in Milwaukee and do not get upset when they leave or get traded away. It's the system right now the Brewers have always believed in and don't look for it to change.

What can Brewers fans look forward to in 2023? Now as a Brewers fan, this season should be a good one for a few reasons. Milwaukee plans on bringing along some of their top prospects this season. To Brewer's credit, they have not rushed them and I think fans will enjoy what they see from them. The only thing I wished the Brewers would not have done is trade away Kolten Wong but understood why the deal was made.

2023 should be a growing year for the Brewers and getting mad about the free agency budget does not good as it will never change. Some new young stars will have their first taste of Major League Baseball, so hopefully they will excel and the Brewers once again will make the playoffs. No matter what fans would like to see the Brewers open the checkbook once in awhile. Just looks like it won't be this year.

Win Or Lose The Super Bowl Tom Brady Has Already Won

 When Tom Brady decided to leave New England many people felt Brady was making  a mistake after all, could he actually win without Coach Bill. Brady was betting on himself when he went into free at agency. Eventually, Brady ended up in Tampa Bay a team that hasn't sniffed the playoffs in a number of years. Brady thought he was the missing piece this talented Buccaneers needed to be a winner.

Brady went through growing pains as he tried to get his teammates to understand  what it takes to be a winner. During a stretch Brady and the Bucs struggled but he kept preaching  patience and commitment to the process. Slowly, the Buccaneers started to gel  and his dream of another Super Bowl was a plausible reality. Once the Buccaneers got into the playoffs Brady knew anything was possible.

Winning three road games would not be easy but we are talking about Tom Brady. After Brady completed the win over the Packers Brady could feel a sense of accomplishment as he now completed  part of the mission. Getting to a Super Bowl is tough and winning it is even harder. We are talking about Tom Brady so nothing should  surprise us anymore.

Did The Saints Make A Mistake In The Way Brees Got The Record?

Drew Brees has always been about team first and this time the team help him get an elusive record. Brees set the NFL mark for yards passing in a season, breaking a record Dan Marino held for 27 years, and New Orleans wrapped up the NFC South title with a 45-16 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Now I am glad that Drew Brees got the record, but the way he got it may come into question down the road.

Breaking records are great and nothing wrong with them when they are done the right way. Routing the Falcons to just get the record was something that should have been avoided. Bress still had another game to play and could have gotten the record next week. To keep Brees in to get the record and run up the score I cannot agree with. The interesting thing about this game is both Atlanta and New Orleans could meet on the playoffs. If that happens you can be sure they will remember how the Saints decided to run the score up on them.

Japan Stuns U.S. Claims 1st World Cup Title

No matter how you look at it, you have to give the ladies from Japan credit as they fought back and never quit. Even when down they found a way to win and claim their first ever World Cup Title in Soccer. The Japanese women won in a penalty shootout 3-1 to claim the title. The United States have no one to blame but themselves for this loss.

They let the Japanese  fight back into the game twice. The United States had plenty of chances to close them out, but could never get the job done. When that happens it usually comes back to haunt you and that is what happen to the United States women's soccer team. Give the United States women credit they did well, but this loss will be a bitter pill to swallow. On the other side Japan got the job done and deserves to be called World Cup Champions.

Tennesse Titans Have Quarterback Issues This Season

When Vince Young was let go the Tennessee Titans had no idea that Jeff Fischer was going to leave or Kerry Collins their starting quarterback would either. This has put the Tennessee Titans in a real bad position when the strike is settled. Right now the Titans are looking at Chris Simms and Rusty Smith as their quarterbacks. This has to send shivers now the fans of the Titans right now.

With the strike going on the Tennessee Titans cannot really do anything, so there hands are tied right now. It is a possibility they could talk Collins out of retirement, but you just do not know. Getting rid of Vince Young really put this team in a bad spot. With the strike about ready to end it looks like the Titans have a lot of work to do. One of the main things to do is find a quarterback, but there are other teams whom have the same idea. It will be interesting to see how this plays out for the Tennessee Titans.

Has Barry Bonds And Roger Clemens Beat The System?

It seems Major League Baseball and the Feds had a clear cut case against Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens when it comes to using steroids. Most baseball observers believe they have used them, but proving that in court has been another whole issue. The Federal government has struggled to get convictions and Clemens was just awarded a mistrial, so you do not know where it is headed that's for sure.

Now even if both players walk away free men it really does not change the opinion of the public as a whole. Most   everyone agrees they both used steroids and that opinion will never change no matter of the court outcome. Just as Mark McGwire has come clean it's time these two players do as well. If not they will always be considered cheaters in the public eye. Admitting they did steroids will still brand them cheaters, but at least the public will have some respect for them. The way it stands right now they are just two guys the public would rather hear nothing about.
