With all 30 teams playing fewer than 10 games in the regular season, the playoff picture is already beginning to take shape.

It was an exciting week for the men’s swim team. The Jays travelled to Shenandoah, Texas for the NCAA Championships.

The National League (NL) will be very competitive this year, as it seems top loaded with talent. There are some teams that are powerhouses all around, as well as teams that are very strong in some areas (New York Mets’ starting rotation) while lacking in others (New York Mets’ offense). In the end, it may come down to a question of whether the strengths of a team mask their weaknesses. However, come playoff time, the teams who are strong all around will shine.
Likewise, the NFL has a franchise tag, unlike the National Basketball Association (NBA), which prevents most talent on the level of LeBron James or Kevin Durant from hitting the open market on a consistent basis. The franchise tag largely prevents the drawn out free agency races that we have seen and grown accustomed to in the NBA.
