It is still so hard to talk about sports. As a former Cyclone I wretched at the one point loss in the first round of the tourney. It hurt. That particular Cyclone ball team had the best set of match ups to get to the round of 8 and even further. Instead the team seemingly overlooked a defensive-minded UAB team whose matchup zone defense was built to defeat versatile offenses like that of ISU. What state didn’t have was a true #1 scorer who could take the weight of the game himself, and that is what beat them. Now there are 16 teams left dancing and Kentucky still looks as strong as ever.
Back to football: Rex Ryan feels like Buffalo is his last shot at being a head coach. He may be right. If he doesn’t do well then he is done. Maybe he can be DC for the Jets… Still, I don’t think it happens. I’m still waiting for an RGIII draft day trade.
Truthfully professional sports have taken a backseat to the youth sports my kids play. In fact I get to see my son play tackle for the first time in a week or so. I’m stoked to see him perform at his peak and I hope he does well. I think it is more fun to watch him and the other kids play, because there is more purity in the game at that level–from fans and from players. There is no threat of a ‘dark stain’ on the career of a player for bad behaviors or TV worthy scandals to excite.
Some Thoughts:
- For whatever reason, 1777 got stuck in the drafts folder. I published it out of order. Messy.
