Loved or Hated?

As a society we love our polls. As sports fans polls have almost become as important as the actual sports themselves.
There are preseason polls, in-season polls that entire shows are built around, way too early to predict polls, and numerous ones polling who is the best such and such at whatever. I’m pretty sure there’s even a poll that polls which polls should be polled.

It is still impossible to believe.
After 13 seasons, the best and most important player in the Miami Heat’s 28-year history is gone. Dwyane Wade is a Chicago Bull.
It’s a painful reality to contemplate, but Heat fans have reason for hope.

The Red Terrors have had several months to contemplate the State Title game loss to Allatoona last season.
At this point Glynn Academy has moved on from the sting of losing that game and are focused on 2016 and getting back to Georgia Dome.
With that being said the Red Terrors did lose some key pieces from last year’s squad they will have to find a way to replace if that title run is going to happen.

The position group that will be the primary key to the 2016 season for Brunswick High on offense will be the Pirate offensive line. All 5 starters return in a group that came into its own at the end of the 2015 season.

Even when it is not football season, it is still football season.
In addition to spring camps, summer workouts, and fall camps leading up to the regular season for colleges all over the country, recruiting is a vital aspect of the offseason as well.
Recruiting is the lifeblood for any good college football program, and the summer is often when recruits will make their decisions public, or the ground work is laid by the coaching staffs to the recruits, their families, and advisors, in order to help the young men decide which school feels like “home.”
Time For Justise
Time For Justise

There are a lot of great things to love about the NBA free agency period, such as seeing which players end up where and for how much.
This year has been extremely interesting in that regard. One of the things that I always look forward is the aftermath once all the dust has settled. For all those teams that make a big splash and get the guys they’re looking for there are those teams that miss out on their targets and are left with a drastically different team than the previous year.
If Miami’s fortunes so far are any indication what the rest of the summer will hold, they need Justise Winslow to step up and quick.

I read recently that retired coach Steve Spurrier is in discussions to become an analyst with the SEC Network. I don’t know about you but having the ball coach breaking down SEC football games will be a must for this writer come football season.
Can you see the ball coach at Auburn on a game day talking about all of the new books in the AU library?
Spurrier in Knoxville covering the Vols reminding Vol-nation that you can’t spell Citrus Bowl without UT.
Can you imagine Spurrier doing a where are they now segment with Ray Goff? Hey coach, I know I put you out to pasture but you rebounded nicely in the chicken finger industry.

With the Georgia Bulldogs season getting close, there will be a lot of words written and spoken about who will be under center and throwing the ball at quarterback for first year head coach Kirby Smart.
There may not be as much talk about who will be on the receiving end of the passes from the eventual starting quarterback, be it Jacob Eason, Brice Ramsey, or Greyson Lambert.

The NBA Draft is now over. Some teams made drastic moves to get better while others might have gotten worse. I’m going to take a look at the Atlanta Hawks offseason moves and evaluate their draft picks.
