Catch of the Day. Joe Anderson.
Another helter skelter cast today, as there aren’t enough hours in the day and I don’t feel like organizing this thing today.
- I admit to feeling a little lost last night not working on fantasy lineups.
- I guess Toledo was a little for real, and Temple football just BEING in a bowl game means better times for that non traditional program.
- A month late reading it, yes, but I am now passing it along. This is a GREAT article on Michael Phelps and how he might rewrite history…again. http://www.si.com/olympics/2015/11/09/michael-phelps-rehabilitation-rio-2016
- I wish Drew Brees could trade his plantar fascia injury for better receivers, blockers, running backs, and a defense.
- Wait. That previous hook didn’t make a lot of sense. Just know I think he needs a better team to properly ride off into the sunset.
- The Panthers placed 10 people on the Pro Bowl roster. With the amount of .500 or under .500 teams this year in the NFL, I was fine with them getting that or more.
- UVA “survived” a game at home last night against Cal in OT. Here is the thing. No bonus points, because it was at home and against an unranked team with nothing to lose, but college basketball aficionados know Cal has 2 or 3 NBA players on their team, are young, can beat anyone on a given night, and will WRECK your bracket come March. 36 NBA scouts in the stands, and most were for the Cal kids I promise you.
- That last hook had a VERY long sentence in it. Sorry.
- I told you all a couple years ago the only Compton UVA baller, London Perrantes was all that and a bag of chips. Clutch.
- UVA’s Brogdon and Gill will go to the next level, but it might be early second round.
- Michigan State’s close call against Oakland last night indicates less about how they are beatable, and more about how VALUABLE presently injured Denzel Valentine is.
- TY Hilton must have just reread “Throw Me The Damn Ball” again as he is complaining about the Colts’ short passes.
- By the way, the kid doesn’t go to Duke, Kansas, or Kentucky, but you WILL know the name Henry Ellenson soon enough.
- Norman got fined in the Beckham travesty, indicating that both were wrong and it was just a clown show.
- You should read the article about the kid born with only one hand scored a basket for the Gators last night. Billy Donovan got the kid on the team, and props to Mike White for continuing that great gesture.
- I am pretty sure that Jagr didn’t plan on playing again this season AND losing four more teeth.
- If you would like to hear another story about a rookie gambler who hit it big, find the story about the chick who got into a fight with her boyfriend when he was trying to explain point spreads, bet for the second time ever, placed $5 on a 15 team parlay, and turned that into $100k when the Lions did their thing Monday night.
- Props to my sister at work, Sarah P. Her last day is today, and everyone who has ever worked with her knows we lose two things. A) One of the most efficient and hardest working people and B) One of the funnest to be around. Happy trails, Sarah, and been a pleasure.
- Great story. Guy stands outside a stadium with a cardboard sign asking for a wide receiver job. The Jets just signed him. Besides the fact this might say more about the state of the Jets’ WR’s than anything, still a cool story. Welcome to the NFL, Joe Anderson.
- That’s it for today. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
