Give it to The Brodie

By -
Russell Westbrook is 7 triple-doubles short of Oscar Roberson's season season record of 41. Last night Westbrook recorded his 35th triple-double in the 122-97 win over Philadelphia. The Brodie became the 1st player in NBA history to get a triple-double while shooting 100% from the field going 6-6 and 6-6 from free throw. 

If Russell Westbrook breaks the triple-double record he hands down the MVP. No way you don't award a once in a lifetime season with the MVP trophy. James Harden is the only other player that I would consider if Westbrook breaks the record. Harden has the Rockets in 3rd places in the western conference while the Thunder sit in 6th. Houston's had a roster much better than the Thunder. For Oklahoma City to be 6th is a feat in itself consider them losing 2 out of 3 star players this off season. 

I can care less about team record if Westbrook breaks this record. No one thought that in this day a player could average a triple-double and Russell is doing that effortlessly. Not giving Westbrook the MVP would encourage superstars to move to bigger markets for individual success

Ed Wilkins | College Football Analyst # 1 Florida State 2-0 (LW:Bye-Week) ·      Last week the Seminoles did not have a game and took their bye-week to prepare for #22 Clemson as they come into Tallahassee. Look for Winston and Seminoles to prove not only their dominance in the conference but also nationally. #2 Oregon 3-0 (LW: Win: WYO F/48-14) ·        At the end of the 1 st  quarter, Wyoming was up on Oregon 7-0. The Ducks were sluggish at first but that did not stop them from scoring 48 points. Mariota completed 19 of 23 passes with two touchdowns through the air. Mariota also had 71 yards rushing with two touchdowns on the ground. While at Oregon, Mariota has thrown for 71 touchdowns which is a school record. The Ducks are definitely a fan favorite to make it to the College Football Playoffs. Oregon starts Pac-12 play as they go to Washington State to play the Cougars for their first road test. #3 Alabama 3-0...

Ed Wilkins | College Football Analyst #5 Auburn 2-0 @ #20 Kansas State 3-0 (thur)  7:30 ESPN Nick Marshall has a 119.9 QB rating in 2 games 5 th Ranked Auburn Tigers stumbles into Manhattan, Kansas Thursday night to take on Bill Snyder and Kansas State. Upsets happen quite often on Thursday nights. Auburn had very few problems with San Jose State and Arkansas. The Tigers will be faced with their first road challenge of the 2014 season. Cameron Artis-Payne, Corey Grant (Alabama transfer), and Nick Marshall are key to the Tigers success. Coach Malzahn wants to see improvement in Marshall’s passing, in other words feed the rock to Sammie Coates more. Do not count Kansas State out; they have a dual-threat quarterback also by the name of Jake Waters. Waters helped led the Wildcats to a game winning drive against Iowa State their last game. Kansas State is a smash mouth type football team. Dominating the line of scrimmage is huge in this game and if they are successful do...

Class of 2015 Dual-Threat QB Rankings

Ed Wilkins | College Football Analyst 1. Blake Barnett 6’4/200 (Corona, CA)  Alabama Great feet! Can be just as dangerous outside the pocket as well as inside. Tough player with great size. Can be a starting college quarterback as a freshman or sophomore. 2. Jarrett Stidham 6’3/190 (Stephenville, TX)  Texas Tech Amazing pocket presence. Stidham has great accuracy, size, and release. A spread offense like Texas Tech fits Stidham. 3. Kyler Murray 5’10/180 (Allen, TX)  Texas A&M Undersize but don’t overlook the kid. Have all the intangibles to be a great quarterback. His accuracy, release, and footwork is amazing. Reminds me of Russell Wilson. 4. Brandon Wimbush 6’2/205 (Jersey City, NJ)  Penn State Tough Jersey kid with great feet and very elusive. Needs to work on accuracy. Great raw talent. 5. Travis Waller 6’3/190 (Anaheim, CA)  Oregon Waller has the intangibles to being a successful quarterback. His p...
