Day: September 21, 2022

Giants are a 2-0 team and looking to go 3-0 after the upcoming Monday Night tilt with the Cowboys. Give credit where credit is due. The Gints (spelling on purpose) are a team finding a way to win, which is a distinct contrast from a year ago when they were finding a way to lose. Clearly. Now, there are still issues. This is not a finished product, and we are sitting on some players/salary stuff that will be very impactful in the long run, but I trust in the front office and I trust in the coaching staff and I trust in the players. Win or lose, it is going to be exciting.

Win. Definitely win. Cooper Rush means more of a commitment to the run game and more of a balanced offensive attack from a coach who basically broke his top RB. That being said, we bottled up two of the leagues top rushers in the first two weeks. Now we face Zeke and Pollard, who will need to do serious damage against what will likely be an 8-man front. On the offensive side of the ball we know the Giants are weak against speed edges. Panthers took advantage there, and the week before that the sacks kept coming. However, I think Barkley will continue to produce and setup opportunities for guys like Toney to expose a suspect yet opportunistic secondary.

Other folks are playing football too…

Miami goes to Buffalo and Tua is about to experience a beatdown.

Carolina might get off the L column at home against NO

PIT will defeat CLE.

CHI over HOU

KC dominates a very bad Colts team

DET proves itself against MIN in a shootout

BAL proves too much against NE

CIN gets a WIN in NY

In a battle of 0-2 teams, we finally see King Henry ascend the throne.

Philly is legit gonna be 3-0

While the Jags will fall to 1-2

I cannot call LA v. AZ. I just don’t know about either team anymore. They both feel like shells of their former selves.

Speaking of Shells… Atlanta sucks. They will be defeated by Seattle, but possibly it is a moment to see Pitts shine?

Tampa 3-0? Probably.

SF is better without Lance? Maybe. I don’t know. It isn’t fair to the kid after that rainy start and ensuing week 2 injury. I think there is alot on the line here in Denver. I don’t know what happens, but it ought to be a show.

I’m going to be brief in the intro. A lot transpires on a Tuesday–namely because I am out the door before the sun. Often I’m done teaching before noon and deep into grading by one. Here and now I’ve chosen to pause and get some of the very important stuff handled. Stuff like blogging my ten. However, I don’t have a single deep or meaningful thought. I do have…

Some Thoughts:

1. Relatively lost my mind today when I discovered that the class I busted my butt to bring to the campus was being taught by a random person and not me. My conspiracy-hacked brain assumed malicious intent and I started asking questions. My partner forced me into cool down upon which I discovered that there was not malicious intent and I am a overheated dummy.
2. All of that is to say that I am dealing with a stress level beyond that with which I am comfortable. I am no fan of the condition. Not at all. I need the woosaaa treatment quickly. I need to refocus on the things that matter and realize that this isn’t all a house of cards. I have spent equal time generating and feeding into negativity and this must end.
3. Listing helps. Personal diary rants help. What helps most of all is having a plan with which to move forward. I am working on that at every level. Patience is key, and nobody who matters in the main arenas of what is to be is patient anymore, so that heaps more stress on me.
4. At least the Giants are winning.
5. I recognize more each day how major a role football plays in my existence.
6. I recognize more each day how many more healthy days I’ve lived than I have left to live if I don’t get my pre-diabetic ass back in the gym.
7. The problem is I want all the issues of the personal sphere solved today. I lack the patience for the journey.
8. I ought to just kick back and write more stories…
9. Yes, that.
