Power Ranking The 2016-17 NFL Starters (3-4 Outside Linebackers)

Just like last year at this time, we are POWER RANKING THE NFL STARTERS!

This feature is going to be rolled out on a daily basis over the next month and is going to pick a specific position and rank each team's potential starter at that position. I say POTENTIAL starter because we are still a few months away from NFL training camps everywhere starting and teams and players can still make moves. And lord knows, some teams need to make a lot of moves still.

This column itself is supposed to give you a good idea about how your team is looking at each position as we start pointing the nose of the car towards the upcoming NFL season.

Also, since it's a power rankings, it's ranking the players based on how I feel they played last season.

So, with no further distractions....

I bring to you.......

THE USB Baseball Report: Ninth Edition

Hi, hello & welcome to THE USB Baseball Report! I'm Steve Cook, and this week we're jumping in the Wayback Machine! I had myself a birthday on Friday, and while I was reflecting on the past like us old people are wont to do, I wondered what was going on in Major League Baseball while I was coming into the world. So I got on the Interweb and looked it up! We're going to discuss the baseball scene on May 27, 1984...and wouldn't you know it, the Reds had themselves quite the situation on that date. We'll be sure to touch on that fun.

But the main thing you need to know about what was going on in May 1984...

The Tigers were really good

You know how everybody was going crazy over the Chicago Cubs' start to the 2016 season? At this point in 1984. the Detroit Tigers were 35-8. And that was after getting swept by the Seattle Mariners. They were 35-5 after their first 40 games. Sparky Anderson, manager of the 1984 Tigers, wrote in his book Sparky! that he never worried more during a season than he did during 1984. The Tigers weren't supposed to be that good. Sure, they were good, but breaking all the records they did? Sparky thought they'd get figured out eventually, but they kept getting the lucky breaks and rode it all the way to the World Series Championship. Sparky never won another title with the Tigers, he didn't build a dynasty like he did in Cincinnati, but he had that one special year where everything came together.
