Open Field Report

Article by Antwon "Smitty" Smith The Seattle Seahawks and safety Earl Thomas are at a crossroads and the only solution seems to be a trade or release of Thomas. Thomas is the last remaining member of the "Legion of Boom" which also consisted of Richard Sherman (signed with the 49ers as free agent) and Kam Chancellor (Retired due to neck injury), so now it's up to the Seahawks to shop him around. Thomas is seeking a new deal because he is currently in the last year of a 4-year/$40 million dollar deal. Seattle said publicly that they won't address his contact this season. If the Seahawks can strike a deal to move him, here are teams that could use his talents. Oakland Raiders  Thomas fits John Gruden's mold as a player with his nose for the football. Oakland's secondary was a disaster last season, but Thomas' leadership could change the lack of consistency and futility of the back end of their defense. His former teammate Bruce Irvin coul...

I just had to use my boy Raphael "Controversy" favorite line when I looked into Sammy Sosa's latest interview with ESPN reporter Jeremy Schaap and it was only right to tell Sammy Sosa to......STOP IT! That's Raph's favorite line when non-sense starts to spew out of someone's mouth when discussing sports and boy have I heard that line many times. There are two instances where I feel this phrase puts Sosa's lies to bed.   First off, Sammy Sosa has been questioned by sports fans and the media about his appearance nowadays, as he has a lighter skin tone than he did during his playing days. When asked about his "new look" he replied,   “ Look at what I am today,” Sosa said. “ This is my life, and I don’t take garbage from nobody . I do whatever I want.” “It’s a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin tone,” Sosa told  Univision  in 2009. “It’s a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleach...

The NBA has some of the best athletes in sports but when it comes to playing basketball, some players stand out and know how to take their game to another level. Here are my top 10 players that can do just that, play at another level.  1. LeBron James SF Los Angeles Lakers  2017-2018 Stats: 27.5 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 9.1 apg   The king lived up to his name this season as he carried the Cavs to a 4th straight finals appearance. He played in all 82 games (first time in his career) and endured a trade, so he's still #1. 2. Kevin Durant SF Golden State Warriors 2017-2018 Stats:  26.4 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 5.4 apg  The now 2-time NBA champion and Finals MVP also put on a show this past season as he excelled on the defensive side of the ball, something he isn't known for throughout his career.  3. Anthony Davis C New Orleans Pelicans 2017-2018 Stats: 28.1 ppg, 11.1 rpg, 2.3 apg  This young stud is only getting better with ...

Jameis Winston entered the NFL with a monkey on his back in 2015 and now it's beginning to wear him down. It started with a shoplifting charge at a Florida Publix and now it's upgraded to a possible sexual assault of an uber driver in March 2016, so is he worth the headache for the Bucs? The 4th year quarterback is facing a three game suspension from the league for violating the league's personal conduct policy, which is vital to a team that had a good draft and were looking to compete in a very tough NFC South. The NFL rendered an eight month investigation into the 2016 incident in which Winston was accused of gripping an uber driver. The investigation has taken many twists and turns since it started and one of the players that was partying with Winston, Brandon Banks, is now serving a 15-year prison sentence for  rape. He has changed his statement saying Winston was alone with the Uber driver. Eagles cornerback Ronald Darby, the third player involved in this wild ...

One of the hardest debates in sports is matching up championship teams in any sport, and who would win if they faced off with their championship rosters. Well I'm going to give you my top 10 NBA teams of all-time, and there will/should definitely be a lot of feedback because every fan has a different perspective or opinion. Here's my top 10 teams : 1. '95-'96 Chicago Bulls These 72-9 Bulls bullied the NBA into submission as this was the start of their second championship run. This team was strong on both ends of the floor, which I think gives them the edge over anyone. 2. '85-'86 Boston Celtics Boston"s '86 team led by Parish, Bird and McHale may have been the deepest team in NBA history. They have All-Star caliber players like Bill Walton, Dennis Johnson and Sam Vincent coming off the pine. If the 1996 Bulls needed competition, this Celtics team would give them a strong 7-game series. 3. '86-'87 Los Angeles Lakers The...
