H&F: Villanova's ESPY that should've been, Henrik Stenson, and Ryan Fitzpatrick

HINDSIGHT                                                                               

---Kris Jenkins and Villanova got absolutely robbed of “Best Play” ESPY

At the ESPY’s this past week, the ESPY for “Best Play” of the year was awarded to Aaron Rodgers and Richard Rodgers, for their game-winning Hail Mary connection against the Lions in December. While that play was quite impressive, I was BAFFLED that it beat out Kris Jenkins’ game-winning buzzer-beater in the National Championship. To me, that was one of the clutchest plays of ALL-TIME, and it didn’t even win play of the YEAR. Seriously, when has a major sports championship ever ended on a game-winning play as time expired? Very few times, and those few times were probably all game-winning field goals. For this reason, I thought it was absurd that a game-winning Hail Mary, a play that has happened countless times in recent football history, beat out a play that may not ever happen again in sports history.

---Henrik Stenson was unbelievable

Unbelievable. That is the only word to describe Henrik Stenson’s victory at the British Open this past weekend. Seriously, it is hard to believe how he won it and what he had to do to win it. Phil Mickelson, who knows a thing or two about majors, played virtually perfect golf all weekend, which included a 63 on the first day and a five-under 66 in the final round – his best final round score in his major career. If someone had told me that at the beginning of the week, I’d bet my college tuition that he won. Clearly, though, Stenson had other thoughts, as he remained consistently low for the first three days and then dropped a jaw-dropping 63 to clinch his first major. Not only did he win the championship, but he broke The British Open scoring record, tie the major cumulative scoring record, and tied the all-time low major round… Unbelievable.

FORESIGHT

---Ryan Fitzpatrick will be signed by Jets within two weeks

After signing Muhammad Wilkerson with plenty of cap space left, it seems like a Fitzpatrick-Jets reunion is inevitable. I compare this situation to a relationship between two people who bring out the best in each other, but just broke up and are waiting for the “I miss you” text from the other, even though they both know that they are meant for each other. Something’s got to give, and while Fitzpatrick may not be the long-term answer for the Jets, it would be detrimental to the Jets if they did not bring him back for at least another year.
