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.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

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.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

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.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

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.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

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.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

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!Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

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.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

Their jersey sales are through the roof.Oprah loves them. Once again, the women’s national soccer team has captured the attention of the entire nation. Heading into Tuesday’s semifinal match against England, the Americans are trying to win consecutive World Cups to increase Team USA’s already record total to four overall.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

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.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

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.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

Steph and the rest will three-peat. Awful. No, wonderful. It’s a matter of perspective.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

No way, the Alliance of America Football would last. In contrast, there isn’t a thing the NFL hasn’t overcome.This isn’t the 100th season of the NFL for nothing. From the retirement of all-time greats to domestic violence scandals to concussion controversies to Colin Kaepernick…Yep, the TV ratings for the league go up more often than not, and so does the revenue.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

DeShaun Tate of 92.9 The Game is in his element now. He lives for college basketball. Not only that, but his favorite team, Michigan State, is in the Final Four.Who does DeShaun pick between Michigan State and Texas Tech in one of the semifinal games on Saturday in Minneapolis?Just so you know, Auburn meets Virginia in the other semifinal game. Who does DeShaun pick for that one?Take a listen.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com

Once again, DeShaun Tate, Mr. College Basketball, returns to Terence's Take to give his thoughts on March Madness in general and the Sweet Sixteen in particular. Can anybody knock off Zion and Duke? Is Houston really that good? So what's up with the officiating? DeShaun knows all.Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @tmooresportsFor articles, videos, and other sports content go to tmooresports.com
