Ravens Go Hollywood

The 2019 NFL Draft is now finished and teams have selected their players for the future, and the Baltimore Ravens go 'Hollywood'. Hollywood meaning Marquise Brown, the speedy wide receiver out of Oklahoma. Brown received the nickname in college from his teammates after they found out he was from Hollywood Florida. Brown was projected to go in the first round, and he was indeed picked at the 25th spot by the Baltimore Ravens.

Does this make sense for the Ravens? Absolutely. Brown fits the Ravens new style offense with Lamar Jackson, and that style is speed. After Lamar Jackson was named the Ravens starter for the future when they traded away Joe Flacco back in February, they wanted to build an offense that fits their young quarterback. Brown will fit right in with Jackson as he will try to grow a relationship with his quarterback and make big plays in different types of ways, whether that is playing at the wide receiver position or running back position at times.

The good quality's of picking Brown is he has very reliable hands as he had the top five most catches this past season, he played in a similar offensive system with Oklahoma for three years, he can play in the slot or the outside, he can run any route in the tree and take a five-yard slant to the house. His only issue is that is the small, at five feet ten inches that is on the smaller side of wideouts in the NFL, but he has played at a high level and can do anything you ask him to do. Exactly what the Ravens need.

Madness Follow Up

Well, its all over. The tables and chairs have been collected, the dance is over. This dance did not end with a slow song. The University of Virginia has made history in the tournament two years in a row, for two different reasons. You may remember last years tournament when the number one overall team, the University of Virginia, became the first team in tournament history to lose in the first round to a 16 seed. This year, Virginia entered the tournament with similar accolades and was once again the number one team in the land. This year, they flipped the switch and took it all the way playing the "cinderella" Texas Tech in the finals. Cinderella was by no means, easy. Texas Tech regained the lead with minutes left until a Kyle Guy clutch 3 point shot put the biggest game of the year in overtime. Virginia regained control of the game and became national champions for the first time. In what started off as the most predictable tournament in years, so predictable that someo

Will Hailie Deegan Be NASCAR's First Female Winner? Many casual sports fans or people not familiar with NASCAR may think Danica Patrick was the first female racer. She was far from the first female to compete in the Cup Series, but she built a following, had more popularity, and had a larger sponsorship than any previous female driver. Now that Patrick is retired, who will be the next female racing star? One name is making headlines in the lower divisions, Hailie Deegan. Daughter of X-Games and Motocross legend Brian Deegan, Hailie is a 17-year-old racer from Temecula, California. She grew up racing on dirt and in off road trucks, but since 2016 has been pavement racing, with aspirations of making it to the top levels of NASCAR. In 2018, Deegan raced for Rookie of the Year honors in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. The K&N Pro Series is a NASCAR developmental series split into the East and West divisions, where teenagers race on short tracks and road courses aroun

Is Kyle Busch One of NASCAR's Best Ever?

Image
One of the most controversial and polarizing drivers in NASCAR history, Kyle Busch has certainly made his mark in the world of stock car racing. Busch is a driver who every fan either loves or loathes, due to his brash attitude and his winning record. As he closes in on 200 NASCAR National Series wins across all 3 series, is it right to consider him one of NASCAR's all-time greatest talents? As of the time I am writing this (March 5, 2019) Kyle Busch is 33 years old, and has 197 wins across all 3 NASCAR National touring series. Broken down, Busch currently has 53 Truck Series wins, 93 Xfinity Series wins, and 51 victories in the premier division Cup Series.  Busch's win totals in both Trucks and Xfinity competiton are the all-time win records for each of those series. But where Busch's lower-seris domination is truly evident is in his winning percentage.  Kyle has 53 Truck wins in 147 starts, or a 36% winning percentage. The next winningest Truck Series racer, Ron
