Ooooohhhh. Cat fight.
One before the weekend.
- I fully plan on doing a bowl breakdown, but every time I look at the ridiculously LONG list of bowl games, I get tired. Maybe I will just do the best 15 or so at some point.
- Trevor Knight is transferring from OU. I have things to say on this, but my Twitter guy, Jim Weber, said it much better in a June article a while back. http://lostlettermen.com/did-katy-perry-curse-oklahoma-qb-trevor-knight/
- And revisited it on Twitter this week.
- The Cubs continued their onslaught of good players and good guys, and other teams can say they aren’t scared of their activity this winter, but they are.
- The state of NY has turned down DraftKings and FanDuel. Put your fantasy lineups in while you can and enjoy, because I get the feeling the end is coming. And who is going to grab those 20 slots per hour in commercials if THAT happens?
- Greg Schiano got the job as DC at Ohio State. You could spin this as the “Josh McDaniel-I was made to just be a coordinator Methodology,” or you could simply say that he went up at Rutgers, and down at Tampa Bay.
- Could be worse than leading a defense with that caliber of athletes…
- In other Ohio State news, Adolphus Washington decided a hooker was better than not being in a college football playoff game. As Dennis Leary once said, “you gotta have goals.”
- One of my favorite lines from that No Cure For Cancer gig by Dennis Leary. “I was supposed to be the starting centerfielder for the Boston Red Sox. Life sucks. Get a helmet.”
- Again today, get the Pats while you can. Edelman is practicing people.
- I am torn on the Heisman. Everyone says Henry will win it, all of the unofficial polls seem to lean towards Watson, and everyone, including myself, seems to WANT McCaffrey to win it. I hope it is a close vote, and all three gents should probably have some sort of winning notes ready. POSITIVE attitude.
- STILL pissed that Baker and/ or Cook weren’t invited. Travesty.
- John “Hot Rod” Williams died. Happy trails to one of the best sixth men of our era. Here is your interesting tidbit for the day. Tell your friends. In 89′-90′, Hot Rod averaged 16 and 8 as a BACKUP. After that year, the Heat signed him. His contract was front loaded so that the first year he netted (no pun intended) $5 million. At that exact point, he became the highest salary EVER in the NBA, and it doubled what Jordan was making that same year. Crazy stuff.
- Finally, a high school parent knocked out her daughter’s coach when the coach tried to enforce a rule about the kids riding home after a game. Knocked OUT the coach???? Wow. First of all, I always rode home on the bus after games as there was a shot at stopping at McDonald’s. Second of all, before you get all excited about the cat fight that happened, take a look at the punch thrower.
- That’s it. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
