Terence's Take

Let’s face it: The Patriots are headed for their seventh Super Bowl victory.

If nothing, they'll at least make the thing. Again.

That's awful to think about it. Even so, The Evil Empire of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady shows no signs of having mercy on the rest of us or the National Football League.

Which begs the question: How will Antonio Brown react on The Big Stage?

It's not too early to consider such a thing.

While rising as a superstar at 21, Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr needs to learn difference between playing with enthusiasm and resembling a clown.

Folks continue to buzz on social media over Acuna admiring a home run that wasn't Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers during a game in Atlanta.

The ball stayed in play, and courtesy of Acuna's nonchalant ways, he turned a double into a single.

Braves manager Brian Snitker was not amused, and he yanked Acuna out of the game.

So Antonio Brown wanted to go from Ben Roethlisberger and the generally good Pittsburgh Steelers to Derek Carr and the regularly struggling Oakland (almost Las Vegas) Raiders?

That’s one thing.

Long before that ever happens, Brown is keeping everybody in suspense over how he’ll eventually deal with this frostbite thing and this helmet thing.

Frostbite?

Don’t ask.

The Raiders get what they deserve.

So what happened to all of those folks who said they weren't going to watch NFL games anymore?

They're back.

Then again, they never left.

Nothing tells you more about the eternal power of this league than the popularity of its yearly ripoff for fans called exhibition (or preseason, if you insist) games.

So many folks can't wait for Friday, when Madden 20 is released to the world. As a result, I huddled with David Schiele, an expert on the subject.

David is a 23-year-old rising TV sportscaster in Knoxville, Tennessee at WBIR, the top television station in the market, and he has played virtually every Madden game for the last two decades.

That's for starters.

Tiger Woods (golf) and Serena Williams (tennis) transformed their particular sports into something special, and they became icons along the way throughout society.

Then stuff began happening for both of them.

So here's the question: Can Tiger and Serena turn back the clock?

Tiger teased us earlier in the year by winning the Masters, but Serena, well, do you see her in the Wimbledon Finals Saturday?

Yikes!

When will baseball realize its home run derby at the All-Star Break has gotten old?

The same goes for the Slam Dunk contest during NBA All-Star weekend.

What’s that?

Both contests still unfold before stuffed ballparks and arenas?

Yes, but there are other things to consider.

Since so many people are injured these days by line drives at baseball games, fans and players are putting more pressure on MLB officials to increase the netting between the stands and the field.

Guess what?

If you sit too close to the action at a Major League Baseball game without a net in front you, you increase your chances of getting crushed by a missile made of rawhide.

You know, a baseball.

I've got a solution.

Take it from DeShaun Tate, Mr. College Basketball. Outside of maybe RJ Barrett, the sure-thing choices are slim in Thursday's NBA draft. That includes Zion Williamson.
