Graduated from Washington State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in broadcast communications, Brunson 1st joined the ESPN set in 1999 as an ESPN News anchor. These days, Brunson serves as co-host alongside David Lloyd on the network’s weekend morning SportsCenter programs. Prior to ESPN, Brunson worked as a weekend sports and news reporter at KATU in Portland, Oregon, from July 1998 to August 1999. Whilst in Portland, the ESPN lady covered the Portland Trail Blazers, the University of Oregon and Oregon State University football, men’s and women’s basketball programs Cindy Brunson also served as a weather anchor and news reporter at KHQ-6 in Spokane, Wash. six. New York Giants (9-7): Second year wide receiver Odell Beckham seems to be 1 of the most talented young players in current memory, and with Victor Cruz returning from a season-ending injury, as nicely as the addition of operating back Shane Vereen, New York’s passing game has the prospective to be lethal in 2015. NewYork’s pass rush lacks the exact same talent observed by the two Championship winning teams of the previous, so it will be interesting to see if Eli Manning can succeed with a lot more pressure on the offensive side of the ball. Earlier today, the NFL announced that Tom Brady’s supension will be kept at four games for the star quarterback’s supposed involvement in the saga identified as “Deflategate.” The key breakthrough that accompanied the announcement was that on March 6th, the day that Tom Brady interviewed with Ted Wells, the quarterback asked an assistant to destroy a cellphone that he had been employing considering that November of 2014. The NFL simply viewed Brady’s unwillingness to cooperate with the investigation as an ongoing pattern. 1. Indianapolis Colts (13-3): The Colts had one of the busiest offseasons of any team in the league, adding plenty of talented veterans such as receiver Andre Johnson, operating back Frank Gore, security Mike Adams, and outdoors linebackerTrent Cole. Meanwhile, Andrew Luck enters his fourth season, exactly where over the past 3 years, his completion percentage, touchdown percentage, and passer rating have all increased. Next year, do not be surprised if Luck is capable to snatch the Most Beneficial Player Award away from Aaron Rodgers. two. New England Patriots (12-4): Even though the New England Patriots are almost assured to earn a spot in the playoffs subsequent season, their precise seeding depends on how numerous games Tom Brady will be capable to play in 2015 due to his suspension. The Patriots definitely lost a lot of talented players this past offseason-Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner, Vince Wilfork, Shane Vereen-but if there is any coach in the league capable of creating a Championship caliber group with a reduced amount of talent, it is six time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick. Moreover, Tom Brady appears to play his greatest when the critics and doubters are at their absolute loudest. four. BaltimoreRavens (10-six): The Ravens passing game took a pretty sizable hit this past offseason by losing receivers Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones. As a result, a lot more pressure will be put on “Cool Joe” Flacco offensively, as well as running back Justin Forsett, a single of last year’s breakout stars. Meanwhile, Baltimore’s defense ranked sixth last season in terms of points permitted, fourth in rushing yards permitted, but just 23rd in passing yards allowed. Hopefully, the signing of cornerback Kyle Arrington will be in a position to support Baltimore’s pass defense. 5. San Diego Chargers (11-five): The San Diego Chargers very easily have the talent essential to dethrone the broncos from atop the AFC West. First, quarterback Phillip Rivers is getting into the final year of his contract, and will be hunting to create the same numbers he had at the begin of the 2014 season. Second, the additions of rookie running back Melvin Gordon through the draft and wide receiver Jacoby Jones via free ofcharge agency will add versatility to this offense that was not present final season. Do not be surprised if the Chargers make a run at a single of the larger seeds in the playoffs this postseason.
