Basketball just got interesting. At least in the Eastern Conference. What I saying is, the Raptors are legit. They possess a defense that rattles teams. While the Warriors split the season series with the Bucks, the Raptors beat them badly both times out. And here I thought the ending of the Sixer’s series was a fluke. It wasn’t. The Raptors possess a defense that is more than capable of flummoxing teams. This will be the death of the Bucks if it can be maintained, and unless Curry is CURRY, it is going to impact the way the final comes out. I would love to see the Raptors slay the beast. I would love to see defense win the day.
I don’t believe I will.
Meanwhile in the NFL, I have real hope for the Giants. They haven’t shown me much beyond signings, but as they quietly work towards a successful season I am looking forward to what can be. The RB corps is legit, especially considering the addition of Rod Smith as another FB pass catcher. The offense is going to resemble a number of the High School offenses I see with the short pass being king and athletes operating in space. We have some real hope here.
Meanwhile in Youth Football, I will not be HC this year and I am pleased about that. I’d like to be OC, but that remains to be seen. It is possible I wind up coaching with the older team vs. the younger one. Either way, the goal is to see both kids in a really good position to be successful and learn and grow from the experience. We are getting to the end of the road of Youth Football, and I am grateful for the journey for them and for me. I’ve had a great time and learned a lot and grown so much and been successful and fulfilled goals. Life has been really good for me in so many ways and watching my kids grow in sports is just a small part of that.
Some Thoughts:
- Diet is not going well at all. It is going far worse than the actual exercise, which is going decent. The pain of the lactic acid build up is evidence it is working. Hurting, but working. Such is the price.
