I’m excited for March 13th. This is the day the AIA High School Football schedule drops. It is the first look at what my kid will be facing his Junior year. I was talking to another dad last season and we both had the same thought: You can get away with a lot being a Sophomore on Varsity, but your JR season comes with major expectations. Chief among them is increased production, power, and the ability to think through the game much faster. We are going to work on the mentals this summer once he finished boosting his speed for track season. He is on his way–so long as he gets it in his head to dig in and work hard these next several years. He has the physicals to get to his goal. He needs to track in the mentals.
Meanwhile in the NFL… What the wild. No seriously. What the actual hell is going on? The Chargers released Joey Bosa, instantly making San Fransisco great again. Then there is the great QB saga unfolding, with my sad sauce Giants being considered a prime destination for A-Rod. No. Just no. Fire everyone if it goes down. That is a Doncic level mistake. Like Doncic if it happens you’ll hear these guys talking about how they are measured by championships and are doing what is right for the future. Sure, A-Rod is a bridge QB, but try to tell him that.
Worst still, Metcalf asked for a trade! The Seahawks are not in good shape right now. All the teams I like are falling apart. Hopefully they don’t have to hit rock bottom before getting better. Speaking of which, University of Northern Colorado is going to be better this season. They basically have to be just to stand a chance. They face FBS Colorado State and its potential first rounder QB along with five FCS playoff teams including the current champs. Tough sledding. It also gives the kid the chance to show out against the best possible talent. We’ve been dreaming for this opportunity and it is getting closer and closer.
Some Thoughts:
- What is all this about the ‘transing’ of our children. The powers that be (repubs) are making seem as though kids are being forced to involuntarily change gender, often for the purposes of sports. I am a sports dad. No shot I try to turn my boy into a girl so he/she can ball out. Not to mention how nobody is even talking about female to male as though that is not an issue at all–at least in terms of sports. It isn’t even part of the law, which by default should make it discrimination.
