Give LeBron James his Flowers While He’s Still Playing
Am I Wrighster or Am I Wrong? Us sports fans have to stop being haters. Appreciating greatness like LeBron James while he is still here is important. However, we will miss him when he’s gone. Clay Travis advocated for coronavirus herd immunity for college football. It was dumb, and I had to call him out.
Analytics in Sports are Important
Analytics in sports are very valuable and extremely useful tools for winning a lot of games. However, manalytics are much more valuable and the only way to win a championship.
NBA MVPs but not Championship Contenders
NBA MVP system is broken when MVPs aren’t real title contenders. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a 2-time MVP but won’t make the Finals.
Give people their flowers while they are here to smell them, See LeBron James
Clay Travis advocated for coronavirus herd immunity for college football. it was dumb
Analytics are valuable but Manalyics matter more valuable
NBA MVP voting needs an overhaul

A different-looking NFL Season will start this season, as 2020 will feel a sense of normalcy. The regular season will begin on its scheduled day of September 10, as the Kansas City Chiefs will start their title defense against the Houston Texans. Super Bowl 55 is scheduled to take place in Tampa, Florida on February 7, 2021.
As with the MLB Season prediction, this NFL prediction was used with the aid of NFL Playoff Predictor. Anyone can input their prediction for who will win and predict their champion. However, there can only be one team that lifts the trophy at the end of the season.
Why the Baltimore Ravens Will Win the Super Bowl
The
Baltimore Ravens were the story of the NFL last season until they weren’t. They
are led by Lamar Jackson, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player. However,
Jackson and the Ravens’ regular season success did not translate into
postseason success, as they lost to the Titans in a 28-12 clunker.
Many have criticized Lamar Jackson’s two postseason performances. The Ravens fell behind early in both games, which they did not experience a lot of, especially during the 2019 regular season. Some may label this team as frontrunners, but they made some adjustments in the off-season.
.@markingram21 was voted Best Personality in the NFL…
The Ravens had an eventful off-season because of one player: Earl Thomas. The team released him after he punched defensive lineman Chuck Clark in an altercation during practice. It will be interesting to see how the Ravens as a team respond to this, but they have the pieces to possibly make a championship run. If Lamar Jackson shows even more improvement in his throwing abilities, the Ravens will have a chance and should be the favorites to win the Super Bowl. My prediction is that they will beat the New Orleans Saints in Tampa Bay.
It
may be hard for fans to be confident in the Saints to win big games in the
playoffs. They will be judged on their postseason performance this year. The
past three years, they arguably should have gone at least one round further. It’s
Super Bowl or bust in New Orleans.
However,
the NFC has been an arena of unpredictability the past few seasons. The 49ers
ended up making the Super Bowl last year, which was a surprise. While they had
dealt with injuries, their running game proved lethal and almost vaulted them
right to the top of the league. Some teams get to go from a losing record to
the mountaintop, like the Eagles did in the 2017 NFL Season.
Others, such as the Saints, have to play the long game of making the playoffs every year and being disappointed. A Super Bowl has to happen for this era of Saints football, right? They have been among the NFC favorites for three seasons running now. This year may be the last chance with Drew Brees to win the championship.

The Two Teams People Are Underestimating for 2020 NFL Season: Patriots and Cardinals
Apparently Bill Belichick is not the greatest coach of all time. All I am hearing is that the Patriots will not be as good this year. While on paper their roster is not necessarily scary, Belichick and his staff always get the best out of their players. They have simply made the Super Bowl too often to be counted out already.
In
2016, when Tom Brady was suspended, the Patriots went 3-1 with quarterbacks Jimmy
Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett making their first career starts. Patriots
offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is one of the best in the league at
maximizing his talent. Cam Newton is going to make the Patriots running back
corps a bigger threat. While James White is no Christian McCaffery, he plays
similarly. Also expect Sony Michel to have the best season of his career. If
Cam Newton stays healthy, the New England offense will be a threat.
Another team that no one will want to play is the Arizona Cardinals. Kyler Murray is going into his second season and now has DeAndre Hopkins to throw the football to. Having both Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald will help Murray build upon his first season. While the Cardinals may not make the playoffs due to a packed NFC conference, they will be a tough out every week. Their offense will be lethal.
Cowboys Among Mediocre Teams Looking to Break Through
Bar keeps gets pushed higher for QBs such as Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson…. pic.twitter.com/KjdO7FC6Kz
The
Cowboys might have four wins already against the Giants and Washington this
season. However, they will still struggle to win their division. Expect their
offense to be better, but the x-factor for them will be how the defense does
under first-year head coach Mike Nolan. Everything this team does is
scrutinized. It is hard to evaluate Dak Prescott as a quarterback because of
the team he plays for. New head coach Mike McCarthy will be able to get more
out of him this season. However, Prescott is not the type of player who can
carry a team.
Did
we get the prediction right? What team’s prediction did we butcher? Let us know
by tweeting us @unafraidshow. Here’s to a safe and successful 2020 season.
Am I Wrighster or Am I Wrong? These topics and more are covered on the podcast and video. The Phrase “Get Woke Go Broke” is a Con Job… Its Catchy but there is no truth to it in sports. Sports hosts use it to try and make it seem as if leagues are losing money. They are not! Steve Nash is the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. There’s no White or Black Privilege in that decision.
Rutgers University Sucks
Rutgers University is doing something so gross it sounds unbelievable. Fining college players $50-125 for missing tutoring. These are unpaid athletes.
NBA MVPs but not Championship Contenders
NBA MVP system is broken when MVPs aren’t real title contenders. Giannis Antetokounmpo is about to be a 2-time MVP but won’t make the Finals.

NFL End Zones Leave Social Justice Haters Nowhere to Hide
Am I Wrighster or Am I Wrong? The NFL is painting “End Racism” and “It Takes All of Us” in the end zones of all its. Now, every major professional sports league is in on social justice. What will the keep politics out of sports crowd going to watch? Sports…Duh. Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins had some interesting things to say about the coronavirus, but the headlines left out the fact he’s wearing a mask.
Big Ten Conference May Play Fall Football
In an obvious political move, Donald Trump contacted the Big Ten in an attempt to get them to play football immediately. It is reported he offered increased availability of testing and contact tracing access. The Big XII and ACC conferences have no contingency plan for Covid-19. What have they been doing for the last few months?
NBA Ref Scott Foster vs Harden and CP3
Referee Scott Foster as the lead ref for Game 7 between James Harden’s Houston Rockets and Chris Pauls’s Oklahoma City Thunder is a gift from the NBA. They both hate him.

Am I Wrighster or am I wrong? NBA protests have flowed into the MLB, MLS, NHL, and WNBA. They are all protesting racial injustice. I love it, but canceling the season would have been the wrong move. College football and the NFL are up next. Are millionaire Pro Athletes like LeBron James, Chris Paul, and others really afraid of the police? Why do they fear for their children when many of them are in private schools and live behind gates.
Big Ten Conference May Play Fall Football
The Big Ten conference is discussing potentially starting the football season after Thanksgiving. It is the right move. Let the SEC, Big XII, and ACC be the crash test dummies to see if football can be played during coronavirus.
Max Kellerman roasts SEC fans
Max Kellerman was right about SEC voters being susceptible to very low-quality information. The facts show that seven of the ten least educated states are in SEC country.

As the return of pro sports in the United States draws closer, leagues are getting set to embark on seasons that they have never had to deal with before, there are specific needs that have needed to be addressed between players, owners, and fans in each respective league.
Return of USA Pro Sports Scheduled To Start With MLB
The MLB has had the most contentious path to resuming their season thus far. Luckily for baseball fans, the season looks like it will start around July 23-24. The highlight of Opening Day looks like it will be the defending champion Washington Nationals hosting the New York Yankees. A possible Gerrit Cole-Max Scherzer pitching duel on Opening Night should be something that MLB fans salivate over. In a 60-game season, there is a chance that Opening Night has a playoff feel to it already.
NBA Players’ Concerns Need To Be Addressed Despite Responsibility to Fans
For
the NBA, the season is set to resume on July 30. The Opening Night to the
season resumption will be highlighted by a Clippers-Lakers showdown. This game
will set the tone for the race to the playoffs for the NBA. If the Clippers
win, it will be game on for the number-one seed in the Western Conference. If
the Lakers win, then they will be in the driver’s seat for the number-one seed.
However,
some players on the 22 teams set to resume play at the end of July have backed
out due to their own concerns regarding COVID-19 and social justice issues.
Fans
that may be upset at players backing out have their right to be. However, a
player should be taking their own well-being into account when deciding if they
want to put themselves in a situation where they are putting themselves and
others at risks. Brooklyn Nets forward Wilson Chandler cares about the
well-being of his family and will be spending time with them instead of playing
in Orlando. In a profession that requires so much time away from one’s family,
it is understandable why Chandler is making this decision.
These situations are imperfect, but the leagues, players, and fans have to make the best of their unique individual situations.
Return of Pro Sports During a Pandemic Lose-Lose Situation on Surface, but Could Be Big Win For Society
For
example, the criticism of the MLB and the players from the fans was definitely
warranted. In a middle of a pandemic where the regular person is looking for
any form of escapism that they can find, they will become disheartened quickly
at negative developments as far as sports returning.
As
far as the commissioners are concerned, they have been put in a lose-lose
situation. The leagues are already going to lose money because of no fans being
present at the games. Sure, it will be interesting to see how much television
ratings increase. However, the actual plausibility of certain scenarios will
not be known until they are put into practice.
The
MLB is going to keep games in teams’ home cities. However, the NBA and NHL have
a benefit of a shorter timeframe because they are resuming, not starting, their
seasons. They will have one and two hub cities, respectively, where all the
teams will be secluded to a “bubble”.
The NFL does not have the luxury of keeping its players in a bubble. There are simply too many players on the rosters. It will be interesting to see if the NFL eventually allows expanded rosters. The issue of pay may also come up during the season also. What will players do if there is a sudden reduction of salary? The one thing that the NFL differs greatly from the MLB is that they already agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement. Thus, it is highly unlikely that the NFL and NFLPA would feud over money.
Sports Leagues Returning Across the World Should Be Encouraging For USA Pro Sports
COVID-19
cases are not rising in Europe like they are in the United States. Therefore,
it is an encouraging sign for sports league everywhere that the top European
soccer leagues have started to finish their 2019-20 seasons. The German
Bundesliga was the first of the four main European soccer leagues that was able
to finish their season. Some players on some of these teams, including
Barcelona (La Liga), have taken pay cuts.
2020
has had its challenges on society, but having sports back will be a great
benefit to the United States. It will both be able to bring important issues to
light through sport and offer a source of escapism from the news for fans.
Sports coming back will hopefully help the country stay connected through
interacting with other fans on social media. Although fans may not be able to
celebrate their favorite teams together, they will have the ability to cheer on
their teams. It will mean a lot to everyone involved.
In this episode of the GW podcast, Greg Camarillo joins me. He is a great husband, father, friend, and thinker. Greg just so happens to be a 7 year NFL veteran who has one of the most famous plays in Miami Dolphins’ history, but his journey to that moment was unconventional. He was a zero-star recruit out of high school who had to walk-on as a punter at Stanford. Even though he became a contributor for the Cardinal an NFL future seemed impossible. Yet, he was able to carve out a nice career.
Greg Camarillo
He shares the story of his journey to the NFL, his thoughts on faith, family, fatherhood, food, and sports. Greg has strong thoughts on #GirlDad, and on masculinity while maintaining a successful marriage. He also enlightens us about raising kids in an interracial home and white privilege.
