Many football and hockey players hold negative feelings toward Aaron Hernandez due to the harmful stereotype he perpetuates about athletes in violent sports. Contrary to this image, most players lead respectful lives off the field and clearly distinguish between the game and real life. Moreover, following cases like OJ Simpson’s, athletes in such sports face heightened scrutiny from law enforcement, leaving them little choice but to act responsibly.
Bill Belichick's enduring legacy, shaped over 24 years in New England, transcends mere strategy; it epitomizes the recognition that surpassing rival teams is the ultimate goal. His unparalleled attention to detail sets a standard in the NFL that may stand unmatched for years to come.
The US needs sports to help heal and Unite a divided country. After all, it happened with the Lake Placid Olympics in 1980 and the New York Yankees after 9/11. Rugby helped Unite South Africa. Look, it’s a long shot, but we need it. Things can only get worse if it doesn’t happen!
Aaron Rodgers’s lie about his Vaccination endangered everyone he’s played with, and his selfishness is a symptom of an “it’s all about me” mindset too many from all walks of life have nowadays. This distraction better not throw Green Bay’s season for a loop; if it does, Jordan Love is the man under center in Green Bay next year!
This Sunday is the Super Bowl, the most bet on the sporting event of the calendar year. While some of us may rarely go to a casino, one big bet on Sunday’s game could become an addiction or get you in legal trouble in some states and countries.
The Kobe Bryant tragedy isn’t about him; eight other people are gone with him. This is about nine people who left this world too soon. People with families and lives like ours. That could’ve been any of us in that helicopter! This isn’t about sports, but human life.
The game has to go-period! Nowadays, it’s nothing more than a glorified pickup game, like the ones we played at Recess as kids. Only the injuries can do far worse than make Junior miss class for a week. None of us can get pumped for this game, so why should the NFL bother scheduling it anymore?!
Doctors in the NFL are investigating whether THC is an option as a painkiller for players. This makes too much sense. Look, I’m not advocating recreational use, but Marijuana use wouldn’t blow out guys’ kidneys or get them killed of an overdose. The NFL remains the most popular league in the United States, but that could all disappear if a marquee player died of a painkiller overdose. The opioid crisis is discussed a lot, but I’m very sure the NFL has a drug problem of its own, and its painkillers.
The Patriots stand accused of taping signals again, this time on the Bengals’ sideline. The franchise can’t stop getting in trouble with the league office like this? Then Roger Goodell needs to terminate the Pats’ franchise. It’d be an appropriate punishment for a team that’s embarrassed the NFL over and over again since the turn of the century!
Dan’s Show today is on the Cowboys. Are they getting too much media attention? Once again, a meager win against the lowly Lions made the Cowboys a topic of discussion for no good reason. Throughout their history, the Cowboys have exploited their past to bilk fans out of their money and trick the press into giving them unnecessary coverage. This has done nothing but rob more deserving NFL teams of coverage during the year, and that’s a disgrace!
Any Given Sunday, in hindsight, captured the chaos of pro football better than anything before or since. The movie showed crazy parties, painkiller usage, and broken marriages in pro football; ironically these issues gave come to light in the NFL since the movie came out in 1999.
Like Antonio Brown, most receivers expect a huge contract means they’ll be thrown to a lot-and once that happens, they feel like someone who found out their spouse cheated on them. Sadly, that uncertainty is the nature of the position-and teams need to check a guy psychologically before signing him-can he handle it at the pro level?
Maybe Cedric drove to fast; maybe the other driver did, I don’t care. We need this to teach individuals what happens when you ignore traffic: “See what happened to Cedric, guys?” No one, former football star or not, should die this young, and one death due to someone’s mistake on the road is one too many!
Here is what Dan will be talking about. Over the next 100 years, the NFL needs to make changes to rules regarding mandatory equipment, and check on corrupt medical practices by team doctors. It wouldn’t hurt to check on coaches to make sure they aren’t offering money to knock opponents out of games. Let’s make the next 100 years of NFL football safer than ever, Roger Goodell!
Dan’s show today is on Football and how the Arizona Cardinals failed Kyler Murray. You can hear this audio below. What is your opinion on this decision by the Arizona Cardinals? Join in on the conversation with Dan.
Nothing is more pathetic than a parent who makes this about them and their need to argue balls and strikes. One can only hope this comes to an end in the near future.
The SEC is considering lifting its ban on beer sales. I have to wonder if it knows what kind of can of worms its opening.
Companies have to take a second look at people on the spectrum: they bring a new pair of eyes with them and different experiences. No smart company would pass up an opportunity to employ people like this.
Its rough enough having a disability, but being unable to take care of yourself while dealing with one is just as awful, if not even worse
Can we give MLB the benefit of the doubt; but this could be a PR train wreck for baseball if no action is taken. This accusation by its players needs to be taken as seriously as the Black Sox Scandal and Pete Rose's gambling was, because baseball can only survive so much damage to its credibility!
According to the police, a Celebrity Lawyer has been charged with blackmail after threatening to expose the company for its involvement in a basketball scandal if they didn't give him 1.5 Million in hush money.
Once again, College basketball's underbelly has been exposed, and no one can fix it. What is going on in the Sports World?Well is looks like Greed and Cheating is the norm.
Dan will talk about Detective Pikachu and the series. I guess there is a huge division with the fans on this series with Detective Pikachu .
Daniel Riley is a Host and Intern at Passionate World Talk Radio. Dan is very passionate about sports. Today's show is on the Packers and falling from Glory. Dan's comments "Shortly after the Packers loss last Sunday, Head Coach Mike McCarthy was handed his walking papers; that doesn't change the Packers' chances this season..or the fact there's plenty of blame to go around." This and more can be heard on Dan's Audio
The Cardinals have not won the whole thing since 1947. if they're not careful, Arizona's fan base may kick them out of the state like what happened with the Houston Oilers in the early '90s...and the franchise will deserve every bit of it.
Every NFL team has that moment when it stops being a force to be reckoned with. You can hear more about Dan's comments on his audio.
To say the Heisman selection process needs an overhaul doesn't do justice to the seriousness of the problem. Far too often, the Press has had a say in who gets the award, when none of them even played or coached.
Time for a change: only allow players and coaches to vote on who gets the award. They're more in tune to who fits which schemes, and who's really changing the destiny of their team. The current process is an insult; its more about popularity among writers than actual greatness.
The Browns need to find talent however they can...and at any price. Their defense is comparable to that of a Pop Warner team, and their receiving corps has given Baker Mayfield no one to throw to. In short, simply changing the playbook fixes nothing.
Sports Illustrated cited sources within the FBI revealing a massive probe into human trafficking by Major League clubs, mentioning alleged street agents, criminal agencies, and knowledge of scouting departments looking the other way. Dan has more to say on this and more about Baseball and a huge Black Eye
Who opened doors for African Americans in pro football, breaking that sports' color barrier long before baseball did-all while playing seven different positions. And who not only got the Chargers to a Super Bowl, but brought Pro Football back to L.A. after disappearing from sight for 2 decades. The modern game is indebted to him.
Last Sunday, Earl Thomas leg injury turned the page on the days where the Seahawks secondary was a strenght for that team, and everyone in Seattle knows it.
Tactical changes are coming for sure; that defense can't afford to blitsz or play man coverage now. It's too risky with an inexperienced secondary. To stay competitive, the 'Hawks ofeense needs to develop the threat of a run game, because defenses are going to blitz Russell Wilson early and often.
One injury just changed the schematic makeup of an entire team, and the Seattle Seahawks are done like dinner because of it..
Detroit Lions fans should jump ship now; another disciple of Bill Belichick has failed miserably already.
The rule prohibits players from hitting a quarterback if they can stop after a few steps-problem is, the speed and size of NFL players mandates a rule change next April.
NFL defenses have men who weigh 260 to 300 pounds, with the ability to run like Usain Bolt in Shoulder pads. It's just not possible for them to stop on a dime like they could 40, 50 years ago.
Please let's protect the quarterback all we can-let's just make sure we put common sense into the rule.
Going forward, the Children of the Millennials will have no idea what true innocence really is. When they become parents, "Generation Y" as we are known, must accept tough conversations with our kids as soon as Grade School.
The Cowboys have to change their organization if they want to make it to the Super Bowl again...although I don’t see that happening.
According to ESPN, Maryland’s football program will pay its respects to a player who died of heat stroke, and prohibit any anyone from wearing his number until 2021.
Just ask Ryan Shazier and Reggie Brown if the head has to be taken out of tackling. They'd probably applaud the new rule. Probably laugh at its critics, too.
There are certain injuries the game of football has ti minimize to survive-that being head, neck and spinal chord injuries.
If critics of the new rule don't like it, let them flip on NFL network to watch old games!
Starting Lamar Jackson this season is just asking for trouble: Rookie Quarterbacks make mistakes,,,like bad passes and not knowing when to throw the ball away and live another down. That's why Joey Harrington and David Carr shouldn't have played a game their rookie years.
New England and Philadelphia are right up there too. jay Ajayi has given a running game to the offense...one thats as balanced as the Packers'. Their defense didn't lose much to free agency, and, again, barring the injury bug, they may make a run. In this case, repeat as Champs.
While most NFL teams can expect a reasonably good season, the Jets, Lions, and Cowboys need to consider this a rebuilding year, not a Playoff run.
Studio heads need to accept the fact audiences are slowly starting to tire of these flicks.
With the Cleveland Cavaliers loss in the NBA Finals, its fair to say the comparison of LeBron James to Michael Jordan have to stop. Now.
NFL player JJ Watt agreed to pay for the funerals of the victims of the School Shooting in Houston, and gave the title of “celebrity” reason for applause again.

Here is a part of the show today with Daniel Riley
Last weekend, a collegiate baseball player collided with a brick fence and had to be carted of the diamond...the latest example of incompetence by Division 1 Sports Programs.
Upon doing research, I am appalled by the baseless accusations of dirty play against the NHL's Las Vegas Golden Knights. Their critics need to look up the facts if they want credibility on this issue.
Conor McGregor needs to take advantage of Anger Management classes and own up to what he did in that subway. That's all he can do to save what's left of his reputation.
People in Pro Sports say they want to make an impact on the world? Good; this is where you can start.
With News the NBA has given up on the NCAA's ability to fix its problems, it’s time to face reality: College Basketball, as an institution, has failed as a redeeming quality on college campuses.
Detroit Tiger James McCann deserves all the applause in the world for spreading the word about the evils of Performance Enhancers, you won't get a complaint from me from what he's doing. Bravo, James.

Baseball’s limited pitcher’s mound visits, but that’s not going to shorten games like MLB wants it to.
The league needs to really enforce the Strike Zone to shorten at-bats, and implement the Designated Hitter to put the ball in play to speed up the game. If it just leads to more outs at first base, that’s fine.
Because what once made baseball charming is killing it: the fact a game could truly be endless.

The events in South Florida are a Wakeup call to local governments that Washington won't fix violence at our schools!.
They'll have to do it themselves; School Boards need to require metal detectors and fences to keep potential attackers out. For that matter, no longer are High School and College Campuses to accept anyone leaving campus during the day; andone unaffiliated with the school is to stay off campus until classes end for the day.
Period.
If giving security to schools that put most prisons and State of the Union Addresses to shame are the answer, so be it-enough is enough!
This is Dan Riley for Sportstalk on Powertalk Internet Radio, the Wor;d in Your Hands..
According to CBSSports.com, Vince McMahon, the head of WWE wrestling, is indeed bringing back the XFL in 2020.
We all know the weaknesses the original league had as far as its business model: a connection with pro wrestling that hurt its image, low quality of play, and terrible gimmicks.
Honestly, I have no clue how McMahon thinks this scenario will play out any differently 17 years later: the league will be stuck with the same old problems. McMahon doesn't understand that, and he's headed for his biggest fall yet.
No one, especially Jim McMahon, understands "try, try again" doesn't apply to competing with the National Football League.
Mr. McMahon, save yourself the public embarrassment and give up on this harebrained idea now-there's a reason it failed the first time!

In 2 weeks, the patriots will play in what feels like their 100th Super Bowl-and its a sign competitive balance is a Problem. Point blank, the Patriots have become the New York Yankees of the NFL-and its irrelevant if Patriots fans hate the comparison.
We live in an age where "Any Given Sunday" is just a mantra giving false hope to teams like Cleveland. That's nothing anyone should be celebrating. Period.
Constantly blaming the Press for the Pats' image is nothing more of a paranoid cop-out cop-outfrom the teams' fan-base. And it's not about being a "hater". In the '40s, a pro football league collapsed because one team got too dominant.
The NFL is just becoming pro football's answer to Major League Baseball-and that's nothing to party about.

The passing of Keith Jackson is a massive loss to the Sportscasting industry that can't be replaced. He called Bowl Games, Rivalry games, and even a few NFL games during his illustrious broadcasting career.
When Jackson called a game, you knew that game was the most important that Saturday; that was the aura Jackson possessed. There's no way to put into words what this man's contributions' to College Football really accomplished.
Admit it: more than just a few games you really remember had Keith Jackson doing play by play. He made you feel like a participant. And the game felt like precisely that.
The passing of Mr. Jackson is the end of an era of College Football that we will sorely miss...and took for granted.
Thank you, Keith.

Once again, the real world hasinterrupted any hope of the distractions athletics provide.
More imprtantly, we've fed our paranoia and fears of being killed.
The demented sadist who shot up a church in Texas is a stark reminder the Congress in the United States is clueless as to how to stop mass killings. The Democrats kid us that censorship is the answer, the Republicans refuse to provide any.
My suggestion we should require Psychological testing for those who want to buy a gun has been made known on this program; it sure could keep the wrong guy from becoming arned and dangerous. But no, Congress won't take that path.
Sadly, society is more than justified of having to sit through Oliver Stones NATURAL BRON KILLERS, a satire of our obsession with guns and murder. No doubt, fantasy is becoming reality, and it's not accurate enough to say its merely unacceptable.
Enough is enough!
THis is Daniel Riley for Sportstalk on Powertalk Internet Radio.
Last weeks' embarrassing loss leaves the Oakland Raiders with nothing to look forward to as far as their time left in Oakland is concerned, and enraged fans have every right to refuse to go to games from now on.
The Raiders fail to understand signing 30-year olds to fix a team doesn't cut it anymore-and there's deminishing returns with "reclamation Projects" nowadays. Making things worse is loyalty to an offense that became all too stoppable decades ago.
Fire sale: trade away as many guys as you can, Oakland. Adapt to the modern game...and send a letter of apology to your fans. They deserve it with you leaving in two years!
With the Wolverines' one win away from Bowl eligibility, everyone around the program is acting like the sky is falling.
One is left to wonder how guys who played for Northwestern feel about this.
THe Wolverines' penalties are fixable mistakes, and the team isn't anywhere close to the embarrassment it was during the Brady Hoke and Rich Rodriguez Eras. Still, we hear its time to hit the Panic Button in Ann Arbor.
Schools like Michigan get so used to their football team's success, their supporters openly look for things to complain about-enough already!
Last Sunday. the Detroit Lions and Green bay Packers saw their pass protection sink into the gutter, with the consequence of Lions- their starting quarterbacks. Rodgers is gone for the season; and it's unknown how long Matt Stafford will be gone.
Suddenly, it's as much a "rebuilding year" for the Lions and Packers as it has been for the Giants.
Optimism in Green Bay and Detroit has been replaced with the cold, hard reality of a missed opportunity;its a wonder what both teams have to play for at this point at all.
Mitchell Trubisky was drafted by the Bears with their first pick this past April for a reason-his great potential and talent.
That doesn't mean he'll end this year going to the Pro Bowl-rookie QBs rarely do. Mitchell has a playbook far more complex than the one he studied at North Carolina, and far faster, more complex defenses.
It's not that Mitchell will never lead the Bears deep into the playoffs-its just that his rookie season will be as tough as it will be for Bears fans. Peyton Manning wasn't able to turn things around his rookie season, so why would you expect Trubisky to.
Bears fans have hope-a quarterback they have to turn things around the next few seasons. That doesn't mean they should expect that turnaround to start this season.
This is Dan Riley for Sportstalk on Powertalk Internet Radio.
Week 3's Lions-Falcons game was a reminder the NFL's rulebook is too complex. Though that's the least of the League's problems, it's been that way for decades. it's never good when pickup games among friends are easier to follow than the NFL: the league throws in ridiculous rules and expects no controversy regarding its refs and rulebook.
Don't believe me? Go read the National Football League's rulebook on its official site-its impossible for any part time ref to officiate at all.
The leagues' officiating department needs to learn common sense can go a long way. It clearly can't.
Last weekend was an embarrassment for the Big Ten Conference; one team got blown out by the lowly Duke Blue Devils, Eastern Michigan beat a Big Ten Team, and the Wolverines unconvincing victory is cause for concern.
The Big Ten COnference's style of play is to blame. Teams rarely focus on pass defense, and instead worry about stopping the run. With the return of run-oriented offenses still a ways off, it's left teams open to humiliating losses,
Adding to the problem is that great quarterbacks are developed in other conferences (given Tom Brady rode the bench too much at Michigan, he doesn't count as an exception.) Get ahead early on teams in the Big Ten, and they're in trouble.
The Big Ten's quality of play has its future as a "big-time" conference in doubt; too many teams'll wind up blowing a chance at a bowl game because of their "play defense and run the ball" strategy.
Just wait and see.

Georgia Tech's Overtime loss opening weekend should be an eye opener: they kept a game close running the Option, an offense we don't see in College football nowadays.
That could start a trend: defenses are replacing linebackers with smaller defensive backs with no ability to make an open field tackle, and defenses are more of an "attacking" style in NCAA and NFL football nowadays.
The option is the key to beating big time schools in the future; don't be surprised if your favorite school adopts the Wishbone offense in the future-it could pay big dividends for them!
I'm surprised at the heinous KKK rally in Charlottesville, though I shouldn't.
Both parties have allowed mistrust between the races to continue while only pretending to accomplish something.
The Republicans ignore acts of bigotry, the Democrats take everything as an insult.
Both parties share the blame for fractious race relations in the US, and CAN'T be trusted to fix the problem!
Don't expect another appearance for Clemson and Alabama football in this year's National Championship.
If there's just one thing the NFL has missed that pro baseball understands, its that developing rookies is key to truly making a team better.
No joke: the NFL needs rookies to participate in a "rough touch football League" where there's real blocking and runners can only be pushed to the ground, and real NFL caliber playbooks are used.
For the good of the game, Roger Goodell needs to enforce a strict policy prohibiting teams' first string players from even dressing for preseason games. After all, the Tom Brady's and Julio Jones's of the league have nothing to prove to their coaches.
For whatever reason, be it the tragic loss of Mike Illitch, false pride, or effort, the Detroit Tigers' season has been a disaster, and its time for their fanbase to give up on the season.
It's not common at all to see an athlete play an entire career for one team. When it does, its a novelty to behold.
THis comes to mind after NBA Star Paul Pierce signed a 1-day contract to sign with the team that originally signed him: the Boston Celtics. DOing away with free agency is a foolish idea indeed, but when an athlete cannot play their entire pro career in one town, its just heartbreaking.
Dan's show is on the NBA. The NBA System, Free Agency Killing the Sport What do you think about that?????
Stanley Cup led to Growth for NHL. This opportunity fell into the NHL's lap; its time for it to take advantage of it!
Dan discusses Tiger Woods fall from grace and the extensive news coverage is just unbelievable
Major Cyber attack that happened to many in Europe. Affected many individuals in Europe
According to ESPN.com, a new league has been started with hopes of becoming a "minor league" for the NFL.
This week, students at Yale exposed how truly uninformed they are after accusing Samurai Jack creator Genndy Tartakovsky of cultural appropriation, sexism, and homophobia...with nothing to back up their complaints.
League Owned Sports Networks reporting on Sports are so lack luster and a lost cause for sports
Lisen to Dan Riley on March Madness Here we are again with March Madness and Michigan State Failed
The sorry sight of a former New York Knick getting in a fisticuffs and arrested was more than an embarrassment to pro basketball. It was a perfect metaphor for the teams' constant failures on the court.
Knicks fans need to boycott the team-it's the only way to scare it straight!
The announcement a former Cy Young winner wound up with Cancer isn't news, but it's a warning to ball players that this might be them one day.
It's about common sense: you put yourself in peak physical shape to play this game, so why shorten your lifespan?
The MLBPA needs to step in and inform guys of the risks of chewing tobacco and help guys quit if they want to. From there, it's the players' choice, period.
For all the glory of working for an NFL team, a price must be paid...and Gary Kubiak is the latest example of that.
This Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills fired head coach after three seasons, along with offensive coordinator Rob Ryan, his brother.
Unfortunately for him, he's had to learn this the hard way, and its a wake-up call for the rest of the League.
We all hear the complaining that Labor Day is when The sports world is silent.
Nonsense; Winter is where sports goes to Die: the lackadaisical effort in the NBA, the end of most College football teams' seasons and baseball's off season make the Winter months the most forgettable period of the year for a sports fan.
People are so surprised when teams like Carolina can't return with another run in the NFL, when there's really no reason to be.
Teams that make it to the Super Bowl have less time to recover from injuries than the other 30 teams, and risk getting raided.
Enough is enough.
OSU showed us Schools and government aren't competent enough, to stop tragedies like this weekend.
Colleges need to require students to get professional help when they need it; the government needs to prohibit those college age and younger from even holding any sort of weapon.
Once again, those we trust to protect our kids failed. No more second chances, period!
The Curse no longer a defense for the Cleveland Indians or the Chicago Cubs It is time to play baseball
DH Crucial to Baseball's Integrity For the longest time Major League Baseball has had no designated hitter in the National League.
Quarterbacks are only remembered for long term success, and winning Super Bowls. Some, like former Redskins Quarterback mark Rypien, are a flash in the pan for one season and dispensary. That fate awaits Tony Romo, whether he likes it or not.
More than ever before. it's clear 9/11 has changed society for worse....and it's not just government spying.
It gave the press excuses to make us paranoid like never before (and That's saying something.) We stopped using airlines, failing to realize they're the safest form of transportation we've got.
We trust nobody, and question everyone's motives; blind partisanship is at an all-time high. Welcome to the 21st century.
My prayers go out to everyone affected even remotely by these attacks...because this kind of a travesty is unbearable to live with.

Week one of the NFL season was filled with many thrilling comebacks, and even more embarrassment for the Chargers and Colts.
Not every team has the talent to come back: it includes dumb luck sometimes, along with a quarterback whose done it before. Sometimes, a team mistakenly concludes its over and doesn't realize their opponent's making adjustments in the locker room.
The 49ers of the '80s and The Broncos of the '90s had WBS who led multiple comebacks. That helped teammates stay confident. Granted, some teams don't: the Bengals of the '90s and Detroit Lions of the 2000s come to mind.
Comebacks in the NFL are a simple matter of talent that's done it before, a good defense to give their QB the ball back, and a little dumb luck. That's it; its a simple recipe.
A few years ago, we could say with certainty a team would win the Big Ten Championship game. Ohio State, much like its rival, the Michigan Wolverines, are a testament to the fact those days are gone.
Like their rival, the Buckeyes have a major concern in that their offensive line is so full of young guys. While its certainly a problem for Mcihigan, scrambling Quarterback JT Barrett's playing style leaves him twice as much at risk.
With Ezekial Elliott gone, its not like anyone stands out at running back for the Buckeyes; they face a .500 season at best if their running backs can't step up.
I see the Bucks being a .500 football team this fall. Having an explosive scrambler at quarterback is awesome, sure, but with no offensive line and nobody to hand the ball off to, J.T. Barrett can look forward to much more time in the icetub this fall-and the Bucks can look forward to more marks in the loss column.
This Sunday, the NFL's annual Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio was canceled because a Field turf surface was too dangerous...thanks to the mistakes of the grounds crew.
The last thing the NFL needs is another PR Nightmare, and it came last Sunday.
Constant mistakes in stopping misbehavior, bullying the press, and medical fraud: one misstep after another has cost the NFL its good name.
As if that weren't bad enough, this canceled game not only would have ended players' careers had the game been played (which is bad enough); it'll end guys' careers anyway: there's a deadline on when coaches can make final cuts, so the rookies on the Colts and Packers' rosters will miss their chance to achieve a dream.
The league risks disappearing from the sports scene, and if it does, it'll be on Roger Goodell's watch.
The tragic passing of Buddy Ryan cost the NFL one of its great innovators, and he's a lock for the Hall of Fame; there's no debate he belongs.
Here we go again with cutting School Sports. Is it all about Budget Cuts. Do these people know what they are doing? What do the parents think of this.
