In all of this recent talk about the fallacy and hype of youth atheletics I forgot to roll out the waiver wire!
Some interesting things happening in the sports world. For one, we are starting to get a better sense of how fragile of a public figure Odell B. really is. This knowledge comes courtesy of his recent failure to appear at an OTA session. This missed day of optional work came on the heels of a Trump-level twitter tirade about the Giants and his past. It was also the one day of OTAs the media was scheduled to be around. Basically, he did not want to deal with the media, so he dipped.
He’s going to struggle for some time and teams are going to struggle around him when things are not going well. He has not matured to the level required to be a leader. It is a very good thing his BFF is on the squad. Together they may be able to fix this.
Meanwhile the Knicks got hosed. They lost out on the Zion sweepstakes and probably lost some free agent opportunities as a result. The Knicks harbor such a culture of failure that I won’t even use them in a video game.
There is still quality basketball being played–by two of the 4 teams left. The Bucks are crushing the Raptors and the Warriors are finding their new identity while smashing a very good blazers squad. This is shaping up to be a thrilling final. With both top seeds up 2-0, it might get here rather quickly.
Some Thoughts:
- The previously mentioned getabag gang in actuality goes by the name ‘gettabag’ so, be careful about correctness. The second T matters.
