Say goodbye to Alex Rodriguez

He has drawn the ire of MLB fans for years after numerous steroid allegations, and deciding to follow the money to a championship. On Friday night A-rod played his last game in an MLB uniform before joining the Yankees as a special advisor. It seems as if the Yankees have forced A-rod trying to get out from under their mountain of veterans, and start to bring up some of their younger prospects. Since coming into the game with the Seattle Mariners Rodriguez was seen as the future of the short-stop position. He played his first seven years in the bigs with the Seattle Mariners bringing new hope to a franchise that was looking for a star. After good run playing in 690 games, and hitting 189 games home runs in a Mariners uniform. He signed a historic 10 year 252 million dollar contract with the Rangers leaving Seattle. It was the biggest deal that the MLB had ever seen and set the bar for the contracts of the future.

Why the Patriots will be ok without Tom Brady

It's been a topic of debate around New England since Roger Goodell and the NFL decided to try and make an "example" out of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. On January 18th 2015 the New England Patriots destroyed the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 in the AFC championship. It sent Brady and the Patriots to Super Bowl 49 against the Seattle Seahawks. It was only until the days following the game that we found out some of the Patriots balls had been a little under inflated. The days following the game reports started coming out that the patriots had been caught in a sting operation run by the NFL. On January 20th Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported that 11 of the 12 balls were 2 PSI under inflated. Thanks to the Wells report we now know that report was completely false. The Patriots went onto win the Superbowl thanks to catch for the ages by rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler.
