John Dickinson
⁦‪@JDJohnDickinson‬⁩
Warriors are 17-18 at home w/6 games remaining at Center. Count being bad at home among the many reasons the Warriors haven't met their own preseason expectations. Just unable to bring any away momentum home at any point.

THE PLAY:

 
 
Marcus Thompson II
⁦‪@ThompsonScribe‬⁩
Rough night for Draymond. It was a two-point game if he converts a break-away layup. Knicks answer with four straight to go back up 8.

He's picked up his energy — guarding Brunson — but just seems a bit off tonight
 
3/18/24, 9:09 PM
 
 



COULD THEY FALL OUT OF PLAYOFS ALL TOGETHER? 





NBA: 

-ANTHONY EDWARDS OVER JOHN COLLINS DUNK OF THE YEAR? 


2- GIANTS: 

Giants sign Blake Snell to complete an ambitious offseason — and reset expectations


A- HOW DOES THE GIANTS SIGNING OF BLAKE SNELL CHANGE YOUR VIEW OF THE SEASON? 

B- DO YOU OWE FARHAN AN APOLGY? YES YOU DO….




 
 
Alden González
⁦‪@Alden_Gonzalez‬⁩
The Giants' offseason ... 

Bob Melvin
Robbie Ray
Jung Hoo Lee
Jordan Hicks
Jorge Soler
Matt Chapman
Blake Snell

Of their free-agent signings, only Lee is in the books beyond four years. They did quite well. They, uh, needed to.

D- 



E- THE ATHLETIC’S POST FREE AGENCY NFL POWER RANKS: 49ERS #2 BEHIND KC….. 

https://theathletic.com/5348015/2024/03/19/nfl-power-rankings-free-agency-texans-cowboys/?source=user_shared_articleNFL Power Rankings post-free agency: The Texans are going for it, the Cowboys are … not 


Post-Super Bowl rank: 2

Notable additions: Edge Leonard Floyd, Edge Yetur Gross-Matos, DT Jordan Elliott

Notable losses: DT Arik Armstead, Edge Chase Young, DT Javon Kinlaw, TE Charlie Woerner, QB Sam Darnold

Out go interior defensive linemen, in come edge rushers. That’s basically a wash for a team that returns everyone from an offense that led the NFL in EPA (expected points added) per game (8.81) and the NFC in points scored (491) last season, according to TruMedia. Trade talk around star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is worth listening out for, though.






NFL:

THE QB PROBLEM:



The NFL has a QB evaluation and development problem. There’s no other way to spin it.. The league doesn’t know what leads to success at the position. And coaches do not know how to play around a QB’s flaws. Until those issues are fixed, we will continue to see a revolving door at the position… At some point, we can’t keep blaming the players. This is what HS and colleges are producing. It’s time for the league to adapt and adjust #NFLDraft

From 2021-2022 there were 19 quarterbacks selected in the NFL Draft Only 2 of those 19 are expected to start in Week 1: Trevor Lawrence (first pick in 2021) Brock Purdy (last pick in 2022)


NFL—

MOCK SEASON—-
