Kareem Jackson: This is Not WWE!

 



        Written By: Jack Nevins of Swish Tribune

    As a safety in the NFL, it is your job to watch over the middle of the field and make sure no player gets past the secondary, while at the same time, making a big hit on a receiver that runs a crossing route. And Kareem Jackson of the Denver Broncos, did just that. 

    In today's game featuring the Denver Broncos and the Washington Commanders, in Denver, with 1:52 left on the clock in the first half, rookie quarterback found veteran tight end, Logan Thomas, in the endzone. Now, Thomas, is not a small man, he stands 6'6 and weighs 250 pounds. This takes a lot of force to take this grown man down, but Jackson was able to do so. Jackson lowered his shoulder after Thomas ran an inside 6-yard post into the endzone. After the catch, Jackson went full John Cena mode and sent Thomas to the floor, KO. Thomas was then ruled out with a concussion for the remainder of the game. On the other hand, Jackson would be charged with a targeting penalty, and ejected from the contest. 

    This was not the first time Jackson hit someone this hard this season. In last week's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, at home, Jackson was seen hit sticking Jakobi Meyers over the middle of the field. Meyers ran a 5-yeard slant, and Jackson met Meyers, continuing to lower his shoulder into his head, causing Meyers to come down with a concussion. Jackson would be charged with another targeting penalty, and following the game, a $14,819 fine. Of course, Jackson went on to apologize to Meyers, saying "Obviously, we don’t play this game to hurt guys. It’s a tough sport we play. … Unfortunately, stuff like that happens. Definitely sending my thoughts and prayers to him." Although this sounds kind and sincere, this does not explain why he went on to hit Thomas in the week 2 matchup.

    The Broncos organization seriously needs to control Jackson's mannerisms on the field before someone else becomes injured again. The Broncos do not need to lose a star player like Kareem Jackson.

ACC & Big 12 Approves new CFP Revenue Model

 Are They ACCtually in Trouble? Sage Rubin, Swish Tribune Despite moving to 12 teams, the College Football Playoff is set to move to 14 teams in the coming years. However, this time, there is a twist: Both the SEC and the Big Ten conferences are set to take 58% of the generated revenue, while the ACC and Big 12 are set to take 32% of the revenue, leaving Notre Dame and the G5 to take the other 10% of revenue. While this may seem like a no-brainer for the ACC and Big 12 as this ensures at least a somewhat large share of the pie in a world where we are beginning to see two power conferences emerge… this was a much more dangerous decision on the ACC’s end and here’s why. FSU and the ACC are currently in a lengthy legal battle involving FSU trying to set themselves up for an exit from the ACC, citing that the conference has hampered their ability to compete with the competition. The most prominent example of this was the controversial College Football Playoff Selection Show that aired ...

My Knicks Trade Deadline Wishlist

Image
Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune The NBA Trade Deadline is just days away and many teams are in need of making a move including the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been one of the hottest teams of late, being 9-1 in their last 10 games, but they are not anywhere near perfect as a roster just yet.  The Knicks already made one of the biggest trades in the NBA this season when they acquired OG Anunoby from Toronto, but their next move needs to be centered around acquiring another shooter that can play valuable minutes off the bench.  Once the Knicks are fully healthy again, they have a tremendous starting lineup, but ever since they traded away RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, and also with multiple injuries, their depth has been tested. The only way you can be successful as a team in the NBA is to be able to knock down 3's at a highly consistent rate.  The perfect guy that comes to mind for the Knicks, who fits Tom Thibodeau's wishlist, is Bruce Brown. Bruce Br...
