This year the New England patriots aquired Darell Revis. Revis is one of the most legendary corners in the game who can shut down almost any all star wide receiver. All New England fans and staff knew that it not Tom Brady and his legs dart offense but it's the defense with the weak secondary. We also lost Aquib Talib which is a dramatic loss and revis is going to have to step up. Hopefully the 11 million dollars will make it happen and potentially bring them to the Super Bowl to show off not just their offense but their defense too that we haven't really seen since the 2001 Super Bowl win.
Sports profile
Lebron James walks off the court in disappointment on game 5 showing how upset he really is about the game. James hit 17 the first quarter and went off thinking that the heat would make a game six. Duncan and the rest of the squad had other plans. With their dynamic teamwork they should great chemistry with ball movement and talking on and off the court. James and his team didn't stand a chance because of their lack of chemistry. Relaying on the King in regualar season may work but Duncan and friends knew they were the veterans and James also knew it would be a tough battle. At the buzzer James walked of discouraged knowing he will the not get the 3 peat on this father day which brought him down.
A league of there own
The only reason why women's softball and basketball have still survived in the pros is because they are very competitive and interesting to watch at all leva of the game. Women's sport have been decreasing the past decade because the majority of the nation agrees there should only be a mens league. I think the reason why is because men are a lot bigger and stronger them women. Not saying women are in athletic but genetically men are more talented. They are more mentally and physically stronger. So strong that the women can't top the men. With sports like football or just sports with a lot of contact. It's because the girls don't show power like men do that grabs the fans attention. But in sports like baseball anything can happen so that's why baseball sticks around.

The designated hitter in baseball
In Major League Baseball there is a designated hitter. There has been a designated hitter since April 6, 1973. Ron Blomberg was the first hitter. But in the National league there is no designated hitter. Instead the pitcher hits. There is many opinions on what should be the right thing to do. Some people believe that they should should leave it the way it is by having designated hitter in American League and having the pitcher hit on the national league. And the other people believe that whatever the decision is both leagues should have the designated hitter. In my opinion there should be a designated hitter for both the American and National League without a doubt.
The first reason why is because of talent. There are so many people in the world that have some shot at playing in the major leagues. And I don't believe it's fair for the national league to give up a position for the pitcher to hit who's bound to get out. And makes it unfair to those players who get cit because they need the pitcher to hit. What this also creates is a possible boring atmosphere for the fans. Since baseball is a low scoring game every hot counts. And I believe if all 30 teams had the designated hitter it would be more exciting. With having the designated hitter would create more power in a line up. They would provide more hits and home runs. And at the same time it's great for a pitcher because they have a better chance of getting the win of the dh is in the line up.
Another reason why the designated hitter should be required for every team is because of injuries. Every pitcher gets drafted just to pitch. Not to hit or play the field. They strictly train for pitching and only pitching. And with having a pitcher hit can lead to injury. The reason why is because they can either get hit by a pitch or pull muscles with an un mechanical swing. This would effect a franchise because of you an ace like Justin Verlander getting hurt then their franchise would be screwed all because a pitcher who is 1for 55 needs to hit. Like I said in my last paragraph if that was a dh who got hit by a pitch and was hurt it would effect the team but there is still so much talent out their that someone' else could fit the dh spot no problem.
This is why the MLB needs to strongly consider getting a designated hitter for the national league. It would be better for the pitchers and the fans. It brings safety for pitchers who wouldn't have to hit and have time to relax on between innings. It's also more exciting for the fans because they can watch there favorite dh have double his at bats and be able to get a lot more pop and offense in these low scoring baseball games. There's just so many good things by doing it. It's gives everyone a pro in it and would make everyone happy for all sorts a different reasons.
