What? WHAT? Do you think I’M going to read Mac Jones’ MRI? Do you? I’m even more day by day than he is. And if I have to tell you that eleven more times at a press conference, you better believe I will!
Baseball is rooted in romantic nostalgia. It’s what makes baseball baseball. Seeing Aaron Judge hit #61 took me back to 1961, when I was seven years old. Little Coachie was very into Roger Maris’s pursuit of The Babe’s HR record. The scene Wednesday night was a warm trip back to my childhood. Now go ahead and lose a game, Yankees, so my Astros can clinch home field throughout the AL playoffs.
If you’re trying to build a championship football team and program that has some staying power, the defensive line is a pretty good place to start. The Aggies got an impressive commitment Wednesday when 6-4, 270 pound five-star recruit David Hicks from Katy, Texas chose A&M over Au Jus.
The Northwestern Wildcats are building a new football crib. They say the food court is going to be really good.
It’s a wonderful blessing that Bills DB Dane Jackson is ok and cleared to return to practice. I’ve seen few things scarier than the blow to his head and neck that he took earlier this month in that game against the Titans. Relieved and delighted that he’s gonna be ok.
Saints vs. Vikings Sunday is a big game. So why do we have to do the London Fog? I’m just not in any way enamored with these international regular season games. And I’m sure Jameis Winston’s injured back and ankle didn’t appreciate the flight across the pond.
Lamar Jackson has provided 87% of the total yards for the NFL’s top scoring offense. 87% Say WHAT? That’s remarkable, but that also has to be a little bit harrowing for the Ravens, given Jackson’s injury history.
I understand why analytics and metrics drive baseball. I think the premise is much less valid in football.
This season is blowing up on the Chargers. Joey Bosa and Rashawn Slater are both gone for the year, and Justin Herbert is not going to feel good until sometime around Easter.
The NFL is brilliant at developing contingency plans. I hope the league goes ahead and moves Sunday’s scheduled game between the Bucs and Chiefs to Minneapolis. But why wait? Do it today. Do it before breakfast.
