Check the news and you’ll hear nothing but dispair. Check the sports news and—crap. Same thing. Unless you’re a Mets and Yankees fan that is. The Mets are through to the NLCS. The Yanks are up 2-1 on the Royals, moving us one step closer to a subway series. The last subway series was in 2000–the first of its kind since ’56 when the they met previously. So this occurrence is a rare one. I love that we are close to the possibility of it happening again.
In Football news the NCAA has done away with the National Letter of Intent. I am not completely sure what that means yet or how it impacts the last of my name who will be looking for a scholarship and a roster spot in two years time. It is making me think long and hard about getting him to a new school–one where he can be seen by scouts.
His big bro didn’t have a lot of chances to be sen by scouts and wound up at a D1 FCS school where he’s beginning to make a name for himself. He and another freshman are logging good minutes at the CB position. I cannot stress how difficult it is to reach that level and how proud I am of him as a result. Still he wants more. he wants to play and grow and I respect that. He needs to decide what that means for this season. A lot of changes are happening in the NCAA. Does he take a redshirt year–even if they intend to do away with the practice?
I have yet to talk about fantasy. It is not going well. Eventually I will tell that sad tale.
