Before we get into Waiver Wednesday, I wanted to take time to update you all on the youth world and speculate on the pro one. We played the toughest team in the league and we got destroyed. Then we had to play another surprisingly good team and beat them. That led us to a 6-1 record and fairly high playoff seeding. We are headed into a battle with another tough team–one that held the best team to their least amount of points all season, but could not score on them. in other words, we are about to face our toughest offensive challenge yet. I’m excited and nervous and proud of the way the boys have held up. Now I’m readying them for yet another battle without key offensive and defensive contributors. It is a challenge, but one we are prepared to face head on.
In the pro game surprising trades are unfolding. A perennial all star linebacker was shipped off to an already all star defense for 2nd and 3rd round picks. The wheeling and dealing is only getting started. More to come before the deadline later today. The Chiefs are loading up on talent in light of offensive woes. The Giants are standing pat. I don’t know what the Raiders will do as their star player was JUST charged with DUI in relation to a fatal crash. The sports world is shifting beneath our feet. I’m curious to see how it all looks when it settles.
