Sports ain’t back. Talking with a fellow coach I learned that baseball intends to have youth tourneys by memorial day with some strange rules including no more than 3 in a dugout and the rest spread out along the 1st and 3rd baselines. What I wonder is this: when both teams have 9+, how are you maintaining the less than 10 rule? Regardless, I am about the football. I am about the youth game to some extent, but largely about the Giants. Are they going to be any good this year?
No.
Well, kind of. I’m expecting second in the NFC east with the possibility of a wildcard spot given the new expansion. I think if that happens the squad has a legit shot to go all the way. Why? Because they’re that team. Barely scrape past .500 and win the Super Bowl. Manning Style. Except we don’t have Manning. We have Danny Drops and a developing line behind which Saquon may run wild. I hope. I think the new offense will be built for that and that is a huge benefit. Of course, all of this is contingent on the return of football this fall… If it doesn’t return, how do we determine draft picks?
I am missing the coaching side of things, but I spend enough time coaching up the kids that I do not entirely worry about missed opportunities in youth sports. With the Spring season cancelled my mid kid only has one opportunity left to play youth sports and that is this summer at the California tourney. Only, is that going to happen? Should it? I am no longer so certain.
Some Thoughts:
- Have I mentioned that I miss sports?
- I also miss this weird little grindcore band called An*l C**t
- It pleases me to get to write that name for the first time in over a decade.. nearly two.
- Yep, it is a strange Wednesday indeed.
- I’ve been crafting in a new world and I am extremely happy about my progress. I’ve been more mindful of the world and started by laying the foundation for a farm and securing the neighboring city. The farm ought to give me enough income to power up all of the villagers and expand the town to the size where I have a few options from each profession. Then I can work on getting the goods I need to accomplish the main goal: Build a kick ass castle.
