Today we will discu s the latest drama -- trust me, there's a lot to talk about there -- Mac Jones and much more.Let's get to it. What you need to know1. Breaking down the Mets' bizarre week If you've been able to keep up with all the Mets drama lately, I'm giving you a thumbs up (see what I did there?)The team, and their fans, have experienced a lot in the last week or so. From the players booing fans, to apologies and much more. : Sunday: Javy Bez homers, gestures and explains it all --You've heard of fans booing players, but have you seen players boo fans? Bez gave a thumbs down gesture to the crowd and later explained that he was giving fans a taste of their own medicine and letting them feel the hate players often feelTuesday: Players' apology tour, Bez plays hero in win --After backlash, Bez said he never meant to offend anyone and that he loves the fans. also apologized for the gesture. Then during a game against his former team, the , Bez scored the game-winning run and Wednesday: GM Zack Scott's DUI arrest --Acting general manager Zack Scott was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. ESPN's Jeff Pa san reported that Scott attended a fundraiser at owner Steve Cohen's house in Connecticut on the night of the arrest. The Mets released a statement saying, "We were surprised and deeply disappointed to learn this morning about an Michael Frolik Men Jersey alleged DUI involving Zack Scott. We take this matter very seriously."This has been a wild week for the Mets ... and the week isn't even over yet.2. Why the Patriots think Mac Jones is ready The last rookie quarterback to start for the New England Patriots was Drew Bledsoe in 1993 (which was before I was born). Come Week 1 of this season, we will see it once again. Even when the Patriots took quarterback Mac Jones in the first round, Cam Newton was presumed to be the starter, but things change quickly in the .Now Newton is off the team and Jones is getting that starter position.Jones impre sed in training camp and clearly head coach . The young quarterback outplayed his competition and it helped his case that Newton mi sed time due to a misunderstanding over the league's COVID-19 protocols.Patriots offensive coordinator McDaniels on Jones:McDaniels on Jones:: McDaniels on Newton: Last season, Newton went 7-8 as a starter and recorded 10 interceptions and only eight touchdowns.Now, the Sean Monahan Jersey question is whether Jones can do better, especially in a city that is used to having a quarterback that can lead them to championships.3. Po sible landing spots for Ben Simmons Ben Simmons has basically demanded a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers and told the team he does not intend to report for training camp. Simmons' future with the team has been in question for some time. We went over this yesterday, but we aren't fully done with this story yet. As Chris Bengel wrote in the Wednesday newsletter, Daryl Morey has demanded a lot in the past. But now that Simmons wants out, that could change. and said the 76ers need to "get realistic with their demands." , if he chooses to embrace a role more tailored to his abilities:No. 1: Portland Joe Nieuwendyk Kids Jersey Trail BlazersNo. 2: Golden State WarriorsNo. 3: Atlanta HawksNo. 4: Denver NuggetsNo. 5: Minnesota TimberwolvesNo. 6: Memphis GrizzliesNo. 7: Cleveland CavaliersFor commentary on why each team could be a landing spot for Simmons, 4. Will an NFL team go from worst to first? The NFL is unpredictable. A team could be good one year and terrible the next.Pretty much every season, , so don't fret if your team is coming off a losing season -- this time around could be better. Even you Jets fans!! OK, maybe not with the AFC East competition, but you guys get what I'm saying here. The Washington Football Team is the latest team to go from the worst to first in their division, though they only needed seven wins to be the division champs. In the last 15 years, 13 teams have done what Washington pulled off last year and since 2006, 18 teams have pulled it off, so there's statistically a large Tanner Glass Jersey chance it happens again this year.Let's take a look at which teams are most likely to pull this off, with No. 1 being the most likely and No. 8 being the least likely. Here's a look at the list, along with their record last year:No. 1: San Francisco 49ers, 6-10No. 2: Philadelphia Eagles, 4-11-1No. 3: Jacksonville Jaguars, 1-16No. 4: Denver Broncos, 5-11No. 5: Atlanta Falcons, 4-12No. 6: Cincinnati Bengals, 4-11-1No. 7: New York Jets, 2-14No. 8: Detroit Lions, 5-11For full commentary on each team, as well as the odds for each team to win the division, . As far as their competition goes, I think the Eagles have an easy path with such a weak division. The Chiefs, Buccaneers and Bills likely won't give up their No. 1 spot, which means a division championship is most likely out for the Broncos, Falcons and Jets. Even if those teams do slip, I can't see these three beating out the other teams in their division.The Browns and Steelers will likely be fighting for the division title next year over in the AFC North, so even with Joe Burrow back I don't see the Bengals getting past those two.
