Monday Morning Sports Roundup: Reeves Matters, Bulldogs Streaking and Celts’ Missing Quarter

Monday, December 28, 2020

 

Let’s take a look at some key takeaways from this weekend in sports:

- The reason why the Jets continue to be one of the worst franchises in major league sports is that they are morons. They were in position to win the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes and been able to draft one of the most talented quarterbacks in recent history, but then they decided to win games. The Jets are now 2-13. They now trail Jacksonville by a full game -- the Jaguars are 1-14.

- The Celtics look they are missing a piece to get to the next level and it's not the undersized Kemba Walker.

- On Christmas, the Duke women's basketball program announced it will not play the remainder of the 2020-21 season due to health and safety concerns stemming from COVID-19.

"The student-athletes on the Duke women's basketball team have made the difficult decision to conclude their current season due to safety concerns," said Michael Schoenfeld, Vice President for Public Affairs & Government Relations and Chief Communications Officer for Duke University. "We support their decision, as we have supported the choices made by all student-athletes at Duke during this unprecedented time.  Duke will maintain our current schedule of competition in other sports and will continue to observe our rigorous health and safety protocols, which include daily testing for all student-athletes and are based on guidance from leading medical experts."

- The Celtics are a banked 3-pointer from being 0-3. This is not a good team right now.
