“DODGERS & NFL”
==========
Never a quiet moment in sports.
Now this.
The Dodgers doing what the Dodgers do…opening their checkbook to sign the marquee free agent, the ex Cubs slugger, Kyle Tucker.
Supposedly waiting the free agents out, thinking the prices would come down, the Dodgers blew everyone out of the water.
Tucker (4Y-260M) deal to join LA as an add-on to their superstar batting order. Gold Glove, Silver Sluggers, All Star status.
They gave him the biggest AAV-average in this year’s crop of free agents. They gave him opt outs after years 2-and-3 of the deal. He gave them the okay for deferred dollars to help with the exploding Luxury Tax fees.
Just amazing isn’t it. Dodger Blue spending Dodger Green.

Brief thoughts heading towards a great NFL weekend:
RAMS-BEARS…Bravado from QBs-Matthew Stafford-Caleb Williams at the prospect of playing in (-2) wind chill factor. Both have firepower people around them. But the Rams have more explosive players, more experience in postseason, and a better defense.
SEATTLE-49ers…The Seahawks, playing infront of the raving fans, 12th Man up there, have Sam Darnold, a big play WR, two tough guy RBs, and what looks like the Legion of Doom defense. The Niners’ Brock Purdy is starting to turn the ball over, and San Francisco has to find a way to get Christian McCaffrey to run the ball. End of the run San-Fran.
DENVER-BUFFALO…All things set up nicely for the Broncos…home field the whole way..a relentless defense (68 Sacks-29TDs-17Games) and an emerging star in Bo Nix. But that is Buffalo with Superman Josh Allen, tough guy RB-James Cook, and an improving and healthier defense. Picking Superman in this one.
HOUSTON-NEW ENGLAND…This is scary, all things Houston. This 53-sacks Texans defense and the ballhawking secondary. Scary too, the sometimes turnover prone Houston QB-CJ Stroud. Drake Maye is putting up astounding numbers and making everyone around him more dangerous. Tough call, but I take New England.
Gonna be fun, at least the NFL games will be, not chasing the Dodgers in the pennant race that has already been decided.
