Total Sports Report

     As many football fans know, we have a lot of analysts that are just idiots on national TV when talking about sports, and we often times end up feeling like we could do a better job for free (sometimes, I know I'm doing a better job for free...). It's one of the most frustrating things in the world of sports journalism that with all of the competition in this field that we don't have the very best working on all of the networks.      You may recognize Joel Klatt. He's become a respected FOX Sports analyst and Play by Play commentator for FOX's College Football Game of the Week alongside Gus Johnson, and can call a tremendous game from the press box. He was a walk on quarterback at Colorado between 2002 and 2005, and won the starting job as a sophomore. So he knows the game of football and he can say some really good stuff.      One of the analysts I have the utmost respect for is FOX Sports Network Host Colin Cowherd. He is the host...

Every season, the NFL has it's share of undrafted rookie talents that go unnoticed throughout the draft process. Some players are simply skipped over because of injury or personality issues while others are seriously underrated or undervalued due to lack of production, playing time or are from smaller schools. There is a constant process of undrafted talent fighting the odds to become the next big cinderella story in the NFL. In this article, I want to take the time to break down some of the top undrafted rookie free agents from the NFL Draft who have the best chances of making a big splash in their rookie season of 2017. Look for these names to cross your screen on ESPN highlights or NFL.com headlines. Arizona Cardinals ~ QB Trevor Knight, Texas A&M  Trevor Knight became a household name as a young freshman quarterback at Oklahoma University following a big Cotton Bowl upset over Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide in 2013. Expected to be the next big star at Okla...

Last night's NFL Draft was quite the dramatic show that we love to watch. Trades, surprise picks, and burning mock drafts were all done last night with much enthusiasm to fans and analysts alike. In this article, I will give my grades to each and every pick, and tell you what to expect this season from the new class of first round rookies. Tier 1 Picks & Trades (A Grades) San Francisco 49ers Trades Their #2 overall pick to Chicago for their #3 overall, #67 overall, #111 overall and 2018 3rd round picks. (99 - A+) This was the best move of the night by far. John Lynch, in his first Draft as a General Manager, trades down one pick collecting 2 extra picks this season and another one next. It was a great move on his part, and I would have paid anything to have been in the 49ers War Room personally to see that trade go down. San Francisco 49ers #3 - DE Solomon Thomas, Stanford (95 - A) The 49ers struck gold with this pick, not just because they got the player they want...

   Former Texas A&M Defensive End Myles Garrett has been widely considered the #1 overall prospect in the Draft since early last season, and has been expected to go in that first spot since that time. With a very strong balance of strength and speed on the edge, Garrett can be an instant upgrade to the defensive line of the team that drafts him. Yesterday, April 10th, however reports began surfacing that the current owners of that pick, the Cleveland Browns, are looking into taking former LSU standout Running Back Leonard Fournette at that spot. Both positions are widely considered needs for the Browns at this point, Garrett expected to play opposite of last seasons rookie standout Emmanuel Ogbah, who collected a team high 6 sacks and another 53 tackles over 16 starts. Ogbah is almost as fast as Garrett on the edge, so both players could help the other tremendously and intimate opposing quarterbacks. Fournette, on the other hand​, could step into the starting runn...
