  How many of us have a distaste for the Dallas Cowboys, but an appreciation for Dak Prescott? The whole world has been pulling for him to get that multi-million dollar deal (that yes, he does deserve). The entire sports world and lovers of the sports world felt empathy on Sunday when Dak went down with an apparent ankle injury. Successful surgery was performed Sunday evening and well wishes were sent from all over the world.  In contrast to Alex Smith's injury, it is likely for a player to return from a compound fracture and remain as impactful as they were before. However, no matter how you twist it ... to be out due to injury for four to six months during your franchise tag year is devastating, especially when you are a quarterback that could be throwing over 300+ yards a game. Dak has recorded 42 wins since 2016, ranked third among QBs.   Dak has been a vital voice for mental health awareness and he has always been very open about his story. Dak lost his mother i...

  We can see the leaves begin to change, the temperatures feel a little cooler, and all the pumpkin spice lattes being ordered. This only means one thing ... Football is in the air. Smells good, doesn't it?  This season feels a little different, and that's okay. The offseason has been anything but ordinary ... including some of the deals and extensions we have seen. However, just as the players have prepared for the upcoming season as they normally would that is why I am typing this for you all. We can expect for some games to be postponed or the season to be shortened, but let's prepare for 17 weeks, some playoffs, and a Super Bowl on February 7, 2021.  It is safe to assume that Kansas City will be in Tampa come February, but what's the fun in a predictable prediction? Let me start off by talking about these contract extensions we have been hearing about. Most recently, Jalen Ramsey became the highest paid Cornerback in NFL history. The LA Rams gave the Pro Bowler a 5-...

Triple Threat (maybe).  photo retrieved from  https://nypost.com/2019/04/01/baker-mayfield-already-gushing-about-odell-beckham-relationship/ Cheers to the best time of the year.  I would drink to that.  You all already know that BadAsh has you covered with what you need to know for this upcoming NFL season, along with a hot take that you probably won't agree with (@ me.).  Don't get me wrong, baseball and basketball are great ... but they're not football.  Football Sundays (and Saturdays for you college lovers out there) hit different.  ... I'm done being nostalgic for now. Let's get down to business.  The Browns made headlines this offseason ... Yes, the Cleveland Browns.  The Browns are in contention to win the AFC North, and make the playoffs for the first time since 2002 ... Yes, the Cleveland Browns.  Odell Beckham Jr. and former teammate/college roommate Jarvis Landry are ready to let Baker Mayfield shine. T...

Merriam-Webster defines 'Most Valuable Player' as "the player who contributes the most to his or her team's success." Fair enough.  I personally believe that Most Valuable Player is one of the most controversial awards decided upon. These leagues are the best of the best, how do you narrow it down to just one valuable player?  With that being said, it is one of my most favorite awards handed out. One individual worked their butt off, tirelessly, to prove that they were THAT man or woman of the season. They carried their team to whatever success they may have had during the regular season, and it is their time to get appreciated for that. This award is not given, it is most definitely earned.  An elite guy apart of an elite group This year's NFL MVP race is a bit unusual.  No, seriously... Something might happen that has never been done before. If you have paid attention to the NFL and their MVP for the past decade, you probably noticed a trend...
