Midwest & East Region Games as "Campus Hardwood" March Madness w/Playbook hits the Nations Capital in Washington D.C. and Kansas City!...#GeauxTigers vs #SpartanDawgs...#WarEagle vs #TarHeels in the early tilts with #GoHokies vs #BlueDevils and #HTownTakeover vs #BBN in the night cap! #LSUvsMSU #AUBvsUNC #VTvsDUKE #HOUvsUK

The seat belt sign is on as Zion Williamson T.V. on your cable provider is must-see NCAA T.V as they get the late game. The Spartans get a tough LSU team that is riding a nice wave with another Freshman Phenom Naz Reid in case you haven't been paying attention from Roselle NJ Catholic. Sparty comes in with first team All-American and Big Ten P.O.Y. PG Cassius Winston.

Bruce Pearl and his Auburn War Eagles will not go away and one Sir Charles Barkley gets the Jet's Alma Mater in a game where if Auburn wins Kenny might have to go Beats by Dre on the NBA on TBT Set for the remainder of the NBA Season.

IN the night cap Zion, R.J. and the Blue Devils get the Hokies and they know each other quite well. Va Tech did beat Duke without Zion back in Blacksburg in February but that means absolutely nothing as the stakes don't get any higher than this.

Then in game #2 in the night cap we get a PJ Washington-Less Kentucky Wildcats still super-talented against a Calvin Sampson Team that is rugged and as complete a team as UK has seen all season long. This is my "Upset" in the making if you want to call it that as the Wildcats need P.J. in this one to move past Houston I am thinking!

They know each other well as Va Tech must stay in attack mode but pick their spots.

Duke has yet to show anyone the money ball is their strong suit!

Can the Wildcats handle the dynamic play from all those guards? Kentucky's PJ Washington is a game-time decision and he must play in order for UK to have a shot... 

West & South Region Games as "Campus Hardwood" March Madness continues with the Award-Winning PLAYBOOK only at Bluedude Sportstalk!...Noles get #UnitedWeZag...Boilermakers have "Date Night" with #PoweredByTheT...Go Blue gets Wreck'Em and the Hoos gets Quack Attack Eugene! #FSUvsGONZ #PURvsTENN #TTUvsMICH #OREvsUVA

Here we go as you need to grab the Maalox or Rolaids as the "Plot Thickens" talking all you Bracketologists that think you know every nook and cranny of the 2k19 NCAA Tournament. Yes the Bluedude has 14 Teams remaining in his bracket but took a hit early and often in the first 32 games as who knew? 

Now we get the best of the best in #1 Seeds the Tar Heels, Blue Devils, Zags and Cavaliers. Throw in more than enough Seeds two thru three there will be very little margin for mistakes by players but more importantly by lead man dba Head Coaches. 

Now we get to the West and South Regional Games powered by #1 Seeds the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Virginia Cavaliers. Let's breakdown the four games tonight as they all should go down to "One Shining Moment" and yes slide over to a New England Patriots Game Jim Nantz the Bluedude went there...

The 'Noles Defensive Game Plan will be the key as they let Murray State's Ja Morant get his but cut off the electric and water from his teammates. This will be different as the Zags have two monsters in that front court and they must contain Clarke who I think is the Energizer Bunny for Gonzaga.

For the Spokane U Bulldogs Team John Stockton they must own the glass (Rebounds) and play their game and get out forcing the all important "Pace"! If the game gets up in scoring numbers the 'Noles do not have enough firepower for that as they want to play in the 70s and the Zags near the century mark...something has to give.

Looking even closer as Purdue gets the edge with Mr. Edwards the Vols should "Own" the paint with All-American Grant Williams and super-sized Big Guard Admiral Schofield. Can the Boilermakers slow both down will be a huge factor as Edwards will be in play big time for the Boilermakers!

March Madness Sweet 16 Rankings as The #5 Auburn Tigers and #12 Oregon Ducks crash the Sweet 16 Party as we combine the 4 remaining seeds in every region!..."Campus Hardwood" Sweet 16 Music and who is ranked where and why? #MarchMadness #NCAATournament #Sweet16 #GroupOfDeath

As we await the Sweet 16 Match Ups in the NCAA Tournament the Duke Blue Devils dodges not a bullet but the NCAA dodges what would have been catastrophic at the box office. Imagine no Blue Devils or no Zion Williamson the rest of the way as former Duke All-American and lead assistant Johnny Dawkins and his Central Florida Squad almost pulled it off.

In what was deemed as the Group of Death the Midwest Bracket the #1 Seed North Carolina Tar Heels survived as did #2 Kentucky and #3 Houston. Kansas was the only other Top 4 seed that couldn't reach the Sweet 16 as Bruce Pearl and the War Eagles from the Plains rode the SEC Tournament Championship Wave right into the Sweet 16.

Gonzaga and Virginia both held serve in their respective brackets as their can only be on as we head into the stretch run into the Final Four in Minneapolis, Minnesota...

the Sweet 16 Rankings...

1. #UNC #CarolinaSZN

They played like a well-oiled machine and they have depth, a front line and can play at any pace as they have to be the heavy favorite moving into the Sweet 16 ads PG Coby White and PF Luke Maye have been real good...

2. #Gonzaga #UnitedWeZag

No one really is paying any attention to the Zags as they continue to make quick work of foes and they are a legit National Championship Contender right behind the 'Heels...It's not just star PF Rui Hachimura but the cast around him including underrated guards Josh Perkins and Zach Norvell Jr...

3.#Virginia #WahooWa

Lead Man Tony Bennett has a veteran bunch and once they got over that round 1 hump lookout...they need more Combo Guard Kyle Guy to move deeeep into the tourney...

4. #Duke #TheBrotherhood

They get a wake up call or did they just get what they know might be coming in the Sweet 16. Zion Williamson has been unstoppable but they have limited depth...Cam Reddish is their "X" Factor he needs to be that Top 3 Lottery Pick the rest of the way in order for Duke to have a real shot as RJ and Zion will do their thing...

5. #MichiganState #SpartanDawgs

"Izzone" has what only Carolina has an elite Point Guard that can get his at anytime and keep everyone involved throughout 40 in First Team All-American Cassius Winston...the former Detroit Native has been the best Player in the entire tourney thus far...

6. #Kentucky #BBN #DreamBig

Now the PJ Washington Jr. injury becomes more of a factor...can the talented 'Cats of Big Blue Nation keep winning without "Wash"?

7. #Michigan #GoBlue

The Wolverines are at it again and this is their time as Charles Matthews dba C-Matt the former Kentucky Wildcat and Chicago Catholic League Star (St. Rita H.S.) is the key they go as he goes...

8. #Tennessee #PoweredByTheT

The Vols get by a stingy never quit Iowa Hawkeyes Bunch but moving forward can lead man Rick Barnes get them to the promised land as his track record says "NO"?

9. #TexasTech #WreckEm

The most dangerous team not in the top 4 to me and they have firepower and their style is Shirts and Skins Esque right off the Lubbock, TX Asphalt...watch the Red Raiders!

10. #Purdue #BoilerUp

Smooth as they come as PG Carson Edwards leads the Boilermakers but can he carry them past the Vols then past the winner of the UVA/Oregon Tilt?

11. #LSU #GeauxTigers

I still don't know but they have one of he best PG's in Tremont Waters and Freshman Big soon to be lottery pick Nas Reid...I just can't put a bead on these guys as they just might be Jekyll and Hyde!

12. #Houston #GoCoogs

Lead Man Calvin Sampson should have received a #2 seed at worse case scenario and The Cougars are in #HTownTakeOver Mode believe that...

13. #FloridaSt #DoSomething

The 'Noles can match up with anyone as they have played the ACC and they made a solid Murray State Team led by Star G Ja Morant look like the Racers were from a mid-major set the Ohio Valley Conference and remember lead man Leonard Hamilton is from that Eddie Sutton Style of coaching....they are solid on the defensive end with no real weaknesses!

14. #VirginiaTech #GoHokies

Lead Man Buzz Williams gets Duke and they wouldn't want anyone else...the Hokies put it on The Brotherhood in Blacksburg a month or so ago and Duke had no Zion...something has to to give!

15. #Auburn #WarEagles

They should be a little higher as they beat New Mexico State and Kansas in two days...these guys can play and their style is one that teams cannot simulate in practice as they get up and down the hardwood with Shooters everywhere...Pearl has them rolling!

16. #Oregon #QuackAttackEugene

Ten Wins in a row as they sliced and diced through the PAC 12 Tourney as PG Payton Pritchard has come full circle as has Freshman Lou King from #JellyFam NJ and just think if they had my main man Bol Bol the Hype beast...they would have been a favorite in the PAC 12 and a Top 12 Seed...

    

The Midwest Bracket is the "Group of Death" with no Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe' or Griezmann among others!..."Campus Hardwood" March Madness Edition as it's #1 Duke in the Blue Devil Invitational in the East, #1 Virginia in the South, #1 Gonzaga feeling good in the West and #1 UNC in the "Group of Death" in the Midwest! #NCAATournament #MarchMadness #CarolinaSZN #HereComesDuke #Wahoowa #UnitedWeZag

It's that time again and the ole NCAA takes care of who they have to take care of and sends the Duke Blue Devils to the East Bracket after UNC and Florida State couldn't beat them in the ACC Tourney to the Duke Invitational with the only threat being "Izzone" dba #SpartanDawgs and Michigan State. 

In the South Virginia has a Tennessee among others but if they play well should be headed right to the South Regional Final. That West Region with Mark Few's Bunch should take care of business with a feisty Michigan and Texas Tech Bunch rounding out the #2 and #3 seeds. 

Now that's three ACC Teams in the Top 4 overall seeds which tells you how dominant the Hoos, Blue Devils and 'Heels all were during the regular season. Moving forward with Duke's Zion Williamson a must-have in the Final Four generating the money he generates they load up not Duke's Bracket but North Carolina's in what has been deemed as through the Bluedude as the "Group of Death" Midwest and the "Only" thing missing is a soccer ball with the likes of Christiano Ronaldo, Antionne Greizmann, Mbappe' and Lionel Messi among others...unreal the NCAA can't even fake the "Fix"!

What's the Midwest Top 10 Seeds?

"Group of Death"

#1 UNC

#2 Kentucky

#3 Houston

#4 Kansas

#5 Auburn

#6 Iowa State

#7 Wofford

#8 Utah State

#9 Washington

#10 Seton Hall

UNC is one of three of the favorites to win it all but getting through this bracket if they do will they have anything left...thanks NCAA!

Coach Cal and Kentucky always gets a tough road and Houston (AAC Champs) and Iowa State (Big 12 Tourney Champs) stand in the way...yikes!

Houston with Coach Calvin Sampson is rugged and they defend 24-7-365 as he took both the Sooners and Hoosiers on deep NCAA Runs including OU to the Final Four! 

Kansas its not the same Rock Chalk Jayhawks but they have some firepower albeit its young they could still do collateral damage... 

The War Eagles took apart the SEC Tourney and they might be the scariest bunch out there with the Mad Scientist Bruce Pearl playing The Plains Mind Games...

The Cyclones went to the K.C. the Big 12 Tourney and #HiltonMagic turned into #HiltonSouth and they have a unique bunch that can play against anyone...

Wofford at 29-4 is the real deal Holyfield with 20.6 ppg from G Fletcher "Jimmer Fredette" Magee minus Jimmer's Range and a team that shoots the money ball at a 41% clip...and they get a Seton Hall Squad that coached by "Bloodline" Kevin Willard the son of former NBA and NCAA head coach a few stops Ralph Willard...watch the Pirates! 

Utah State at 28-6 and Mountain West Champs they are and powerful #8 seed and will get the Pac-12 regular season Champion Washington Huskies and former longtime Syracuse long assistant Mike Hopkins who has the Huskies Nation thinking Hoops! 

That was ten teams the other six led by #11 Ohio State and #12 New Mexico State has me thinking the Midwest should be on an island and who ever wins gets a Trophy just as big at the National Championship Trophy...thanks NCAA just doing what you do! 

 

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix joins the Bears for 365 Days!..."Sunday Talk" Halas Hall Business as #RollTide #BuiltByBama #OutworkYesterday All-AMerican Safety and former Cheese Head Back Stop Ha Ha Clinton-Dix from Mouse Town joins 'Bama Teammate Eddie Jackson patrolling CF for #DaBears! @HaHa_cd6 @ChicagoBears #BelieveInMonsters #DaBears #MonstersOfTheMidway #NFLFreeAgency

I know Ha Ha had better deals for more months but he takes the Chicago Bears Deal at a Netflix -Like Rate of $3.5 Million for just 365 days as he bets on his talent and his talent with a change of scenery should bode well in Chi-City.

Clinton-Dix also joins his former Alabama Teammate Eddie Jackson was Jacks was a CB and Ha Ha was a two-time All-American patrolling center field for 'Bama. This is my guesstimation is a win win for both Ha Ha and the Bears and that Bears "D" ironically enough loses Adrian Amos to the rival Packers only to get former Packer and Redskin Clinton-Dix in the fold.

Look we all know at least if you a Towel Carrying Member of Steelers Nation (because Membership has 6 Chips) Pittsburgh does not shell out large sums of Dead Presidents inn Free Agency. They never reach but with all whats been happenings in the AFC North and 2k19 FA the Steelers still need to plus some holes with a few "Plus and Play" Dudes!

Enter former Duval County WO (Jacksonville Jaguars) Playmaker Donte Moncrief as he will join Steelers Pro Bowl WO's JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Washington and TE Vance "Robo Cop" McDonald among others to help solidify what is now gone in Antonio Brown at WR1.

Moncrief's Digits in 2k18 were not spectacular but better than the previous year with the Colts. He posted 668 yards on 48 grabs and the of the 668 grabs were in your end zone. This will be his 6th season in the "Shield" as he did post career-high digits with Indy back in  2015 with 733 yards and six TDs.

He has "Take the Top of the D" ability and Pittsburgh will need that to stretch the field as the Steelers now look towards the 2k19 NFL Draft that has CB/LB spelled all over it at high picks...Moncrief gets two-year deal with terms undisclosed!

E.T. and Ingram joins #RavensFlock!..."Sunday Talk" w/Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes as the AFC North just keeps adding Veteran Talent as the Baltimore Ravens are set to add 12's Back Stop Earl Thomas and Who Dat RB Mark Ingram! @Earl_Thomas @MarkIngram22 @Ravens #RavensFlock #PurpleReign #AFCNorth #NFLFreeAgency

The Baltimore Ravens post GM Ozzie Newsome is off the a great start as they are set to grab both Seattle Seahawks All-Pro Back Stop Earl Thomas and New Orleans Saints Standout RB Mark Ingram.

The Ravens let Safety Eric Weddle walk as he signed on with the Los Angeles Rams as Thomas was the best Safety out there in free agency in a packed field. The deal is said to be worth $55 million over 48 months with $22 million paid out by year #1. Now 432 million of that is guaranteed and that is even more what Thomas thought he would get as he and his Agent David Mulugheta were around that $30 million mark guaranteed. This is a huge get for the Purple Browns as Weddle along with ILB CJ Mosely, 16 year Ravens T-Sizzle and Red Jersey Collector Za'Darius Smith are all gone.

As for the offensive side of the Wilson Pigskin RB Mark Ingram ( $15 million over 36 months) is a nice fit as 2nd-year QB Lamar "Video Game" Jackson settles in and tries to stretch the field more and more with the vertical passing game. The Ravens Gadget Type Offense fits Ingram as he ran some of that same type of movement in New Orleans under Air Payton.

Where does the moves put the Ravens well as we go to press the Steelers and Ravens at least on paper are fighting for 2nd place behind Cleveland...

NYG GM David Gettleman vs CLE GM John "Big League Chew" Dorsey


The only people in the NFL that knew Odell Beckham Jr. was probably going to play somewhere else was the team that made him the richest Wideout in the "Shield" and that was the New York Giants. I guess putting Fannies in Met Life regardless of W-L didn't meany anything and I know the objective is to win the Super Bowl but we all know there is only one team in the NFL that has a legit shot every season and they reside near Boston, Mass...

As for the "Aftermath" in the Odell Beckham Jr Trade what really sinks in is the "Confidence" and "Bravado" the new Cleveland Browns will carry into OTA's and Camp and that my NFL Heads has no price.




OBJ13



OBJ brings Charisma and a "Winning Attitude" among other things but talking just between the Boundaries there are few like him. He will be on his best behavior playing alongside with and being around his "Ace" current Browns #1 WO Jarvis Landry and that is #BlessEm 13 times plus 80 more times.

QB Baker Mayfield is living on Cloud 9, Dawg Pound GM John Dorsey should run for Governor of Ohio and get all he Free Drinks and Eats a grown man can handle. It has to be fun being a Browns Fan as Christmas and New Years and Season Ticket Demand all came early and look for LeBron James to possibly take Anthony Davis with him back to Cleveland to play for the Cavs and Browns.

Giants Pride and Nation took a large hit and the Cowboys, Eagles and Redskins must make that call to Dorsey thanking him for all he has done moving OBJ out of the NFL East. 

As for the Bluedude a life long Steelers Fan it felt like 20 seasons balled up into one night as A.B. is a Raider, Bell is a Jet and the Browns get OBJ and the Steelers grab CB Steven Nelson. I know this Big Ben Roethlisberger needs to do himself a favor and cancel that weekly Radio Show as the Steelers for the first time in many seasons have to be projected as close to "Rebuilding" as that "Stairway to Seven" was just blocked...

Ex-Panthers LB Thomas Davis heading to L.A. to play for the Bolts!..."Sunday Talk" + "Making Noise" as the Chargers are going for it adding former Panthers Fixture DAVIS and #FightForEachOther makes a quiet SPLASH! @Chargers #FightForEachOther @ThomasDavisSTDM #BoltsUp #HereComesTheBolts

I cannot state this enough in what "Leadership" and "Veteran Moxie" does to any professional team and the Los Angels Chargers took note after ending their season once again at the hands of the New England Patriots and they have fixed it big time.

The Bolts knew they needed to add something "extra" on a defense that is loaded but they didn't go Brinks Truck as they went "Moxie" and "Leadership" as they grab former Carolina Panthers Fixture and #CommitToTheG All-American Backer Thomas Davis.

How big is this well Davis will bring big time leadership and after 14 years of service he has seen everything and that Bolts "D" that was nearly lights out until "Winning Time" should be and might be #1 overall in 2k19 with Davis.

The Chargers already had extended their own in Backer and former "ItsAllAboutTheU Backer Denzel Perryman and now he and that "D" gets to learn from Mr. Davis.

T.D.'s deal is reportedly for $10.5 million over 24 months with a March 2020 Roster Bonus of $1 million. 55% of the deal ($5.25 million) is guaranteed and the Chargers will get a "Bolt" for their Bucks on Davis... 

Packers goes DEEEEEEEEEfense in Free Agency!..."Sunday Talk" Cheese Heads Free Agency 2k19 as the "PACK" grabs a Bears Amos a Raven and Redskins Smith x 2 as the need to stop folks is Tops on the Packer Agenda for 2k19! @Packers #CheeseHeadsFA #Pack #PackerNation #GoPackGo

The Green Bay Packers Faithful had to be thinking this is the time for QB Aaron Rodgers to get much-needed help at least at Running Back and go after former Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell and make a huge splash!

Well the Packers with their methodical approach stay pact and concentrates on the defensive side of the Wilson pigskin and grabs a Bear, a Raven and a  Redskin and all three should and will make significant contributions in 2k19 and beyond. 

First at Safety where the "Pack" traded former first rounder Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to the 'Skins they add Bears Safety Adrian Amos and no one safety had a better year than Amos except his former teammate Eddie Jackson. Add Amos to those young studs at Corner including 2k18 first rounder Zaire Alexander from Louisville they fix a huge hole on the back end.

Then we go Edge Rusher yes this position is now in the front of the NFL Store like a new product and in every ones Shopping Cart as the "Pack" adds both Ravens Za'Darius Smith and Redskins Preston Smith. Green Bay knows if they cannot get to the QB at least in Hurries that back end means absolutely nothing.

Now Smith and Smith LLC will call Lambeau home and they should be dynamic and Rodgers and the Packers could still go get RB Bell if they are still in play. The best defense sometimes in the "Shield" is a clock-running Running Attack and Bell would give the "Pack" that and then some....

Green Bay's newest Additions...


Back Stop Adrian Amos...$37 million for 48 months front loaded with $21 million in first 24 months

Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't waste anytime handling the disgruntled Wide out Desean Jackson as they move #Jaccpot1 back to where it all started the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2k19 Sixth Round Pick. The Eagle also get a 2020 Seventh Round Pick in the deal as Jackson has to be elated back in Philly and playing with QB Carson Wentz.

Jackson will join Nelson Algholor and Alshon Jeffery and if Jaccpot 1 can regain even half his form as he can still run with the best of them lookout. Jackson's years in Tampa could be summed up by QB Jamies Winston and other Bucs QB's inconsistency and the evolution of one Mike Evans who is a "Monster Inside the Route Tree" here at Bluedude Sportstalk!

That Eagles Offense in 2k19 just got better adding a surefire Home Run Threat and now can they shock the world and add RB Le'Veon Bell as the Eagles most likely do not have that Cap Space!

Behind a solid 68-54 lead at the break and taking care of business in 3rd gear in Miami the Raptors keep pace with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Dinosaurs #2 seed overall in the NBA East. All five Raptors starters were in double figures led by All-Star PG Kyle Lowry and his game-high 24 points  with ten assists and seven boards. Pashal Siakam added 20 pooints with Danny Green from #CarolinaSZN Fame dropping 15.

Those 19 turnovers from the Raptors was way too many but they made up for it from shooting 21 for 40 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida while the Heat shot just 8 for 27 from Pahokee, Florida. That was a Raptors 39 point advantage from the arc and that was your ball game with Toronto going away 125-104.

The Heat was led by Bam Adebayo's 19 points and six boards with 15 from Wade County and Dion Waiters. The Heat also shot 12 for 21 from the stripe while the Raptors shoot 20 for 26.

Toronto moves to 48-19 while the Heat falls to 31-35...

Bulls 108 Pistons 131 F..."West Side Story Report" No "Trampoline" LaVine Edition as Bulls go Back 2 Back L's vs Detroit Basketball who is all of a sudden surging!..."You can't WIN the 2k19 NBA Draft Lottery if you don't LOSE"! #CHIvsDET #BullsNation #DetroitBasketball #WestSideStoryReport #PingPongBalls

The Detroit Pistons might be playing their best Hoop on the 2k18-19 season and it's all because of the "Blake Show" dba Blake Griffin. Yes the former Clippers All-Star now Detroit Killah goes 28 points and six boards while waiting on five tables as Detroit hammers as Zach LaVine-Less Bulls Squad 131-108.

The Bulls were down just 61-55 at the break and in the 3rd frame after replenishment and rest See Red gets hammered. Detroit goes on a 42-25 run to blow the game wide open. Joining the "Blake Show" was PG Reggie Jackson the forgotten man with 21 points and six assists while Mr. Drummond always helping the Kids and Detroit Basketball adding a double double with 16 points and fifteen boards.

The Bulls were led by former Rock Chalk Jayhawks and Tilden School NH Prep Star Wayne Selden (Teammates at Tilden School NH with OKC "Big" Nerlens Noel) with 18 points coming from the Bulls Bench Mob with Starters Lauri Markkanen and Otto Porter Jr. each dropping 17 points apiece.

Bulls shot 50% from both the field and Southfield, Michigan but the Motor City Pistons shot 53% from the field and 54% from Ann Arbor, Michigan as they committed just seven turnovers to the Bulls ten.

Chicago falls to 19-49 and Detroit Basketball moves to 34-31 and that is good for #6 in the east as we go to press... 

Antonio Brown to Raider Nation!..."Triple Diamond Chronicles" Mr. Big Chest Edition as Chucky and Mayock grab Steelers Star WO A.B. for a 3rd and 5th Rd Pick in the 2k19 NFL Draft!...Steelers let A.B. and Agent Rosenhaus find a deal!...Steelers 2k19 Draft Picks with the Raiders Picks! @AB84 @Steelers #MrBigChest #SteelersNation #TripleDiamondChronicles #BlackAndYellow

The Pittsburgh Steelers tried nearly everything in their power to find a deal that worked for them and disgruntled WO Antonio Brown. After the the Brown to Bills Mafia Deal fell through the Steelers Brass including GM Kevin Colbert let A.B. and his agent Drew Rosenhaus find a deal and find a deal they did...

The Oakland Raider send to Pittsburgh a 3rd and 5th round pick in the 2k19 NFL Draft for Antonio Brown. To make the deal work for Brown the Raiders get rid of his old deal with no guaranteed cash and drops a A.B. a bag worth $51.5 million including $30 million in guaranteed bread.

A.B. was looking for guaranteed money he gets that and the Steelers finally move on as Pittsburgh get nearly "Zero" for both Brown and RB Le'Veon Bell. That new Steelers Offense led by QB Big Ben with RB James Connor and WO Ju Ju Smith-Schuster will have real pressure as A.B. is now moving on and JuJu on that Beat moves to the #1 overall WO.

Let's take a look at the Steelers 2k19 Draft Picks with Oakland's 3rd and 5th Rd Picks:

#HereWeGo

Note: Raiders Picks highlighted in Red

Rd 1 #20 Overall

Rd 2 #52 Overall

Rd 3 #66 Overall (Raiders Pick)

Rd 3 #83 Overall 

Rd 4 #122 Overall 

Rd 5 #131 Overall (Raiders Pick)

Rd 6 #175 Overall 

Rd 6 #192 Overall

Rd 7 #219 Overall

360 Degrees

Steelers had no 5th round pick and they get Oakland's 5th Rounder in the A.B. Trade which is #131 overall...

That #66 in the 3rd ahead of that Steelers #83 might turn into something as they moved up some 17 slots...

No more Killer B's unreal with no Parade Route and who would have thought that as Stairway to Seven has turned into a real solid Pipe Dream nonetheless...

Many think Cole Anthony will head to UNC Chapel Hill to play for Tar Heels as Anthony leads five Undecided Players playing in the game...Wake Forest and lead man Danny Manning make a late push stay tuned! 

Edwards shocked everyone except himself by staying in-state and choosing the Dawgs and lead man Tom Crean as Georgia Basketball rides Georgia Football's #CommitToTheG...

Gaffney leads a talented Ohio State Recruiting Class that features Top 40 players PF EJ Liddell (Belleville West IL HS and Mr. Basketball Illinois 2k18 and 2k19) and PG DJ Carton (Mr. Basketball State of Iowa) as Carton might be the 3rd best PG behind both Nico and Cole in the entire class...

Jackson-Davis and the State of Indiana is hoping Keion Brooks stays in-state with him and be a part of Hoosier Hysteria and just think current Freshman SG Romeo Langford might stay another year in Bloomington...

Ramsey was enrolled at Oak Hill Academy at the start of the season then went back home to Dallas Area Powerhouse Duncanville, TX as Texas Tech gets a real good one...

"Rocket" Watts Teammate LaMelo Ball didn't make the cut but Watts along with Senior to be and current Spartan PG Cassius Winston should be dynamite as Top 50 Class of 2k19 SF Malik Hall will also be joining Watts in Sparty Land...

Jeffries will join Wiseman as Memphis lead man Penny Hardaway lands a dynamite class and that front line next season will be dominant...

McDaniels another talented versatile Wing from the "206" is undecided as his big bro currently plays for the Aztecs and San Diego State...if Washington and lead man Mike Hopkins gets Jaden to stay in-state to join "Stewie" lookout Pac-12

Mad Max from South Garland Texas in Kentucky Bound PG Tyrese Maxie was part of arguably the best back court in the State of Texas the last three years as the other half PG Chris Harris heads to Texas A&M...leading a deep and talented Dallas, Texas Scene for 2k19 and beyond...Williamson from Rockwall can flat out stroke it and the best of a Top 5 Recruiting Class from the Cards of Louisville...

What If Whitney stayed in his home town of Chicago, Illinois would he have gone to Whitney Young, Curie, Simeon or even Morgan Park the Top 4 City Programs in Chi-City as Whitney joins Mad Max in heading to Big Blue Nation...

Mannion heads to 'Zona and joins a long list of Guards to wear the Wildcats Duds including Khalid Reeves, Gilbert Arena, Miles Simon, Steve Kerr, Mike Bibby, Damon Stoudamire, Kenny Lofton (MLB All-Star), Reggie Geary, Jason Terry, Jason Gardner among others...

Steelers trade RT Marcus Gilbert!...."Triple Diamond Chronicles" as the Black and Yellow gets a Sixth Round Pick in 2k19 as Gilbert heads to the Desert to play home games for Red Zone dba Bird Gang! @MarcusGilbert88 @Steelers @AZCardinals #TripleDiamondChronicles #SteelersNation #BirdGang

The Pittsburgh Steelers and RT Marcus Gilbert after eight seasons in the 'Burgh has traded Gilbert to the Arizona Cardinals for a 2k19 sixth round pick. The Steelers get rid of $4.9 million in the trade as Gilbert will be missed kinda sorta as its been awhile since Gilbert played a full season.

Bird Gang with one of the worse O-Lines in the business last year will get an upgrade with Gilbert as Pittsburgh will move on and looking at the Depth Chart Jerald Hawkins from LSU who was lost last season to a torn labrum will get the early nod to succeed Gilbert!  

the Infamous "WHAT IF" March 2k19 Sports Scenarios is back on Bluedude Sportstalk talking the NBA, NFL, MLB, NCAA Basketball, NCAA Football, High School Basketball, the Entertainment World and more...#WhatIf #BluedudeSportstalk #MarchMadness #BryceHarper #FBI #SeanMiller #ColeAnthony #NicoMannion #AB #LevBell #BigBen #ZionWilliamson #RJBarrett #EJLiddell #DJCarton #2Chainz

Nothing is out of bounds a we go "What If" before March Madness 2k19 as we dial in on the lead Sports Stories, Blunders, Entertainment News, Trades, and more. This edition will be heavy Pittsburgh Steelers since everyone in Steelers Nation has an opinion on what the Black and Yellow is going to do with A.B. and how many picks we are going to get but what about #7 and his lame a** radio show during the football season? It's here and the Seat Belt Sign is on for "What If" March 2k19...

"What If"

March 2k19 

1. What If...Steelers WR A.B. stayed put could it still work in Pittburgh?

2. What If...Bryce Harper wanting the Millville NJ Meteor Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to join him in Philly wasn't tampering. That was a plea for help as Harp 34 knows that Philly Sports Scene is no joke and he wants another player to take the heat when things go bad that is all. They want all the Bread but no Smoke!

3. 2-Chainz new hit album "Rap or Go to the League" is right on point especially the Hit Single NCAA...where former Ohio State RB Maurice Clarett, former FSU QB Jameis Winston and Crab Legs and even LeBron was mentioned...go cop that its priceless and the best Rap Album I have heard from start to finish since Weezy and the Carter 5!

4. What If I told you the two best Schoolboy Point Gods in quite sometime was Cole Anthony and Nico Mannion both "Bloodline" as both of their dads (Greg Anthony UNLV/Pace Mannion BYU) played in the NBA would you agree or disagree?

5. Arizona Wildcats Basketball lead man Sean Miller has had a bad season and the Feds (FBI) have subpoena him to court regarding the Basketball Scandal. Yes they had him on a wire tap and I know for certain he went after one of my best friends friend #1 Recruit out o East Bay and when things didn't go well his Assistant Coach said, "What do you mean he is not coming to 'Zona...you don't want to cross Sean Miller" yeah right and good luck with the Feds Coach that entitlement and I look the part just went out the fu$#in window you idiot!

6. What If Lev Bell lands in the AFC North say with Ravens Flock would Steelers Nation be pissed, 50/50 care or don't care or even act as though he never suited up for the Black and Yellow?

7. Out of Duke's dynamic Duo Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett who will go #1 in the 2k19 NBA Draft? What If I said Barrett will be the better player long-term and I forget all the Circus Theatrics in the air Barrett will be that dude yeah or nay?

8. Ole Miss WR D.K. Metcalf was the darling at the NFL Combine and that's cool. What If I told you I have to watch more tape, get to his Pro Day in Oxford and meet with his family and friends as Combine numbers are cute and for Draft Status can work in your favor but I am not impressed until I see all that translate to Sunday Football....agree or disagree?

9. What If I told you the L.A. Dodgers are on shaky ground as Ace LHP Clayton Kershaw has a dead arm and experiencing pain in that throwing shoulder. Dodger Blue I am praying as well as that's my guy but fear the worse here and I am thinking he misses all of 2k19 and gets back in 2020 yeah or nay?

10. What If I said the Gonzaga Bulldogs are the Favorites for the NCAA Championship would you agree with that and then put both UNC and DUKE in that order behind them?

11. What If the Los Angeles Lakers did make the trade for Anthony Davis would they be headed to the NBA Playoffs and at what seed or still struggling as they would have lost all that young talent?

12. What If I told you Steelers QB Big Ben Roethlisberger needs to lose his Radio Show every Tuesday during the season would you agree or disagree and I think its some bonehead a** sh*t from #7 to have radio show during the season if you have 52 Kids underneath you!

13. What If I told you the Chicago Bulls are going to keep current lead man Jim Boylen would you agree, go 50/50 or is that a nope that ain't it?

14. Can the Boston Red Sox repeat and are they the best team on the Junior Circuit?

15. What If I told you Ohio State Buckeyes Hoops 2k19 Recruits PG DJ Carton (Bettendorf, IA H.S.) and PF EJ Liddell (Belleville, IL West HS) will be All-Freshmen Team and lead the Buckeyes to March Madness in 2020 would you agree or disagree?

16. What If the I said the former Oregon Ducks PF Bol Bol will go Top 5 Picks in the 2k19 NBA Draft agree or disagree?

17. What If I told you Former Oklahoma Sooners QB Kyler Murray will go #1 to the Arizona Cardinals and they will trade Josh Rosen to the Green Bay Packers agree or disagree or even this will not happen?

18. What If I told you the best In-Game NBA Dunker of All-Time was former UNC All-American Vince Carter the pride of Daytona Beach, Florida Mainland H.S. agree or disagree and if you think different go toYou Tube and checkout Air Canada.

19. What If I told you the New England Patriots will win Super Bowl 54 as its already in the Books agree or disagree as the NFL for some unforeseen reason wants them to be the first to seven chips?

20. What If I told you that Rams RB Todd Gurley with that Arthritic Knee is done as a top tier RB in the NFL agree or disagree?

21. What If the Los Angeles Clippers pull off both Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant both in L.A. next season would that be a shock with Kyrie Irving joining them yeah or nay?

22. What If I told you the movie The Black Panther was hands down the Best Picture and should have gotten a Oscar...agree or disagree?

23. What If I told you Zebras (Referees) across the Board in all sports need to start getting it right and maybe use replay even more agree or disagree?

24. What If I told you Helmets have a little to do with the protection . of football players as linebackers running sub 4.5 40 yard dashes and D-Lineman running Sub 4.6 has more to do with speed, size and muscles are in play and bigger than ever agree or disagree?

25. What If I told you the Bluedude's Nickname is Bluedude Watson and yes I get down from Scooby Doos (Shoes) to All Sports from the 70s...go deep into Bluedude Sportstalk its the Content Creation and the overall Sports Moxy that has me above and beyond anything  you hav ever seen...Mr. Big Chest I am!
    

76ers 107 Bulls 108 F..."West Side Story Report" as the Bulls run the Embiid-Less Sixers down for another one in the right column!...Bulls 7-6 since in their last 13!...Sixers heading to Winning Time but struggling without Joel! #PHIvsCHI #HereTheyCome #BullsNation #76ers #DaBulls #WestSideStoryReport

The Chicago Bulls come back from ten down nearly midway through the 4th at 98-88 only to get a game-winning lay-up from Zach "Trampoline" LaVine for a stunning 108-107 "W"! It was Philly's desperate try at the end getting two shots at a potential game-winner designed for former Bulls Star Jimmy Butler as both chances went for not.

LaVine didn't disappoint going for a game-high 39 points on 14 for 26 from the field as he led four Bulls Starters in double figures. Robin Lopez added 19 and nine boards as the Bulls shot a dismal 6 for 23 from Suburban Aurora, Illinois.

The Sixers led by the aforementioned Jimmy Buckets with his 22 points as Philly went 8 for 24 from Lake Forest, Illinois. With no Joel Embiid All-Star Ben Simmons had 18 points and eleven boards with seven helpers. JJ Redick added 15 as Philly just needs the big fella Embiid back ASAP.

The Bulls moving to 7-6 since the Otto Porter Jr. Trade is looking better and better. The Bulls as we go to press will get a top flight NBA Draft Pick to go along with their current core of Lauri Markkanen, Zach LaVine, and Porter Jr. as well as 2k18 top pick Warren Carter Jr..

Chicago moves to 19-47 with Philly falling to 41-24...  

Celtics 128 Warriors 95 F..."Logo Watch" Planet Oracle as the new C's hammer G.S.W. giving "Dubs" Lead Man Steve Kerr his worst defeat at home!...C's go 90-50-40 Club and who are these Celtics as Sharing is Caring?..."Dubs" can chalk it up as 1 of 82 but look behind you and see how much A$$ is left! #BOSvsGSW #CUsRise #DubNation #CelticsPride #WarriorsGround #LogoWatchPlanetOracle

Look we do not know what was said in its entirety in that Boston Celtics Meting with lead man Brad Stevens leading the charge but whatever was said it resonated right to the hardwood and the Boston Celtics finally might be on the track as Percy and Henry along with Thomas the Train wasn't it for Boston.

Behind a 38 assists on 49 made field goals the C's ran all over the Warriors on Warriors Ground and I don't want to here that we didn't have Klay Thompson "Stuff"! Professor Gordon Hayward led the C's off the bench with a game-high 30 points including 19 at the break. Boston went 90-50-40 Club on "Dubs" and G.S.W. darn there left at halftime and tried to move into the swank new Chase Center across the Bay Bridge.

Uncle Drew went 19 points and waited on eleven tables an he has never looked this happy in 2k18-19. All but two Celtics hit the score books as they walk away from this one with a 128-95 "W"!

Steph Curry had 23 points with K.D. adding 18 points as Oakland Pro Basketball had no shot on this night. Now moving forward can Boston take this game and put this style behind the remaining 17 games to play is the "Celtics Pride in the room"?

Boston moves to 39-26 and G.S.W. falls to 44-20...

That on and off switch that the Warriors have in their possession doesn't look as dangerous as past seasons and only time will tell...

Remember Bean Town has been getting Parade Routes heavy since the early 2k's...

Chiefs willing to get a 2nd Round Pick for Ford and I don't know what is going on with Ford and #RedFriday but that appears to be really fishy as he had 13 Red Jersey Collections in 2k18...

Mosley shocked me but the Ravens might be thanking "Loyalty" and Home Grown will have Mosley stay put in B-More and be careful with that Purple Browns...

Barr tried to get a deal done last year and he was really awful in coverage this past season and maybe the Vikes have backed off...I would put him on the Edge and let him go get the QB 24-7-365!

Boise State's DeMarcus Lawrence and the 'Boys are nowhere near a deal...but they have time and Lawrence needs should surgery and has yet to go under the knife!

Clowney stays put as he should...

"Snacks and Donuts" Jackson is needed in the middle of that Falcons "D"

Gould stays put and you don't think the Bears would have went after him...think again!

Clark is the lone Sack Artist for 12's and the Hawks had to designate him...

Collins will find a home as he joins a long list of Safeties that are Free to move around the "Shield"...  

  

Pau Gasol to the Bucks!...Bluedude Sportstalk SPORTS SHORTS Take 267 as #FearTheDeer put everyone on notice in the East as they sign Pau Gasol after a his buyout with the Spurs! @paugasol @Bucks #FearTheDeer #SportsShortsTake267

After a buyout that everyone knew was coming including little used San Antonio Spurs "Big" Pau Gasol here comes the Spain National Team Anchor to the Milwaukee Bucks. Yes Pau Gasol is back in the NBA Central this time with #FearTheDeer and his playoff knowledge and FIBA experience is invaluable playing past Mid-April.

Gasol playing time with Spurs Familia all but vanished and now he joins the NBA's #1 outfit (talking W-L) as the push to win the NBA East and the East best W-L is in the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks as we go to press.

Where would Pau fit in well in a lot of different rotations and looking at the east a potential Gasol vs Gasol is leading the menu. With little brother Marc Gasol signing with the Raptors just weeks ago a Gasol vs Gasol is more than just reality that could happen in the East Finals.

Did Milwaukee get better it all depends on how Pau fits in and schematically will it work and remember Pau's Basketball IQ is off the charts... 

Rockets 115 Celtics 104 F..."Logo Watch" the #RunAsOne Tour continues East as Clutch City strikes Boston Garden early and the C's never bounced back!...What's wrong with Brad Stevens Ball?...Are the Rockets getting back to last year's form? #HOUvsBOS #RunAsOne #CUsRise #ClutchCity #CelticsPride #RunAsOneTour

Yes the Houston Rockets back at full strength is on the 2k19 #RunAsOne Tour and Clutch City for the most part has been clutch! The Rockets winners of five straight came into the TD Bank Garden and jumped all over the Boston Celtics like they stole something.

Houston led at the break 65-43 and really never were threatened at any point in the second half. The Celts just continued with problems that are far from the hardwood as they let Houston do anything they wanted to and doing it in a very comfortable fashion!

Yes James Harden has a game-high 42 points but it was on just 31 attempts. CP3 added 15 points and a dozen assists with Eric Gordon playing 2nd fiddle talking "Buckets" dropping 32 points including 8 for 12 from deep. The Rockets shot 21 for 51 from Worcester, Mass with the C's shooting just 8 for 28 from Foxboro, Mass.

Boston gets four starters in double figures with Kyrie Irving leading the way with 24 points as the C's Defense has let them down all season long. That current chemistry issues the C's are going through will dissolve overnight and to my point they will not be a threat in winning time as the "Logo" has no On and Off switch past Mid-April.

Houston moves to 38-25 while the C's fall to 38-26... 

Bulls 168 Hawks 161 F/4OT..."West Side Story" Report the Aftermath as the Bulls and Hawks combine to score 329 points and the Young Studs for both were showing their "Stuff"!..."Trampoline" LaVine 47 < = > Trae SZN 49! #CHIvsATL #BullsNation #TrueToAtlanta #WestSideStoryReport

The Chicago Bulls move to 18-45 but not after they go four extra frames with the Atlanta Hawks. It wasn't the score so much as it was the young talent on display between the two teams as both are heading into the 2k19 NBA Draft Lottery with Chicago hoping to pull off one of the two Duke Stars in RJ Barrett or Zion Williamson.
