Today I watched a video with a headline promising that Saquon Barkley was making Odell-like catches in practice. In the video he and fellow running back Wayne Gallman were playing catch. They were throwing each other passes from a few feet apart. Basically, the headline hyped the heck out of nothing. Welcome to OTA’s. Here is the thing: Football is really exciting IN season, but off season is all hype with almost no substance.
There is substance in the NBA right now.
Kobe Bryant’s new show, Detail, is practically a cheat code. There are only a few people in the game who know the game as well as Kobe and when he breaks down a player or an offense/defense then you better take note. So far every player he’s detailed has been immediately shut down the next game or few games or, in cases of players he show how to win, they do a heck of a lot better–if they listen. Kobe is a great coach in the making.
The series in the making is the Boston-Cavs series. Boston has played amazing defense all season. The Cavs have Lebron. 2-2 and we are on our way!
Some Thoughts:
- Still have not fixed that pesky redirect issue. I should. I don’t particularly care to drive traffic to the page (not about that life) but since it is here, I ought to at least show people the latest madness as opposed to things (read: words) that are very old.
- Some of those posts mirror the stuff I’m reading and writing about today. Odd.
- Give slim chicken’s five bucks and they will give you a mason jar full of heaven. Real jar. Real good desert. Real fake southern. Still, the fried pickles are legit.
