Day: August 27, 2026

Didn’t get it done on Waiver Wednesday. The thing I really wanted to talk about outside of the Shedur thing was the start of the HS season. So, it’s happening tomorrow and I am starting to get a little geeked about it. The kid is a senior and is a captain. He’s ready to go. They are playing the Eagles, who have a 4star RB. That kid is not supposed to play, so we will see if that changes the outcome.

I’m also excited about the upcoming CFB season. I don’t have time to blog it out today, but the Top Gun Offense is something I am geeked to see at the D1 level. It was the top offense in all of football last season, but it came from the DIII level. It’s basically what I run on NCAA27, so…

Some Thoughts:

1. Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Trump signs order to rename Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ as trade war with Canada persists” We have hit full baby mode here. Throwing tantrums over nonsense is going to ruin us… if it hasn’t already.
2. Peter Cullen died. Rest in Peace, Optimus Prime.

I made. crazy admission to my gaming students today: I’m about Shedur Sanders because he’s Deion’s kid. I’m going to defend him until he shows me, given a fair enough chance to start (equal to the other mopes out there) that he can’t actually play. It’s been in my mind and actions but I’ve never fully stated this as fact. Since it is out there now, I’m digging in. Let’s give the kid some rope and see what happens. Unfortunately, what happened was he was benched for Watson. The facts surrounding the choice are leaking out and have to do with a number of factors… allegedly. Pre-snap penalties were a thing, which translates to me as not having enough of a grasp of the playbook to execute the calls effectively. That’s a big deal. That is also something coaching should be able to fix. His physical skills are there. His mental skills need some help in terms of running the plays. So, fix him, right?

Not right. Not for Monken. Instead he’s leaning in hard on a QB they must cut by March or lock in another 200 million guaranteed. All that leads to me believing that he’s out. They’re tanking for Manning. Of course, Manning might not even be the best available, but that is a blog for another day.

Some Thoughts:

1. No thoughts. More tomorrow…
