Not a ton of time to spend on the words since the boys just rolled back into town and I want to give them some attention before they start school. But there is always ten minutes for…
Some Thoughts:
- Saquon Barkley not signing his tender is a smart business move on the surface, but the fact is that the team holds all the cards. He can not sign all he wants, and continue to move towards that age of diminishment and not making money. It sucks because he is an awesome talent and the heart of the franchise. However, they decided to go a different direction after the market for RBs crashed. This is a long term-minded organization and the captain is good for two or three more top shelf years. He knows it. He is going to need to bite the bullet, take the $$, and hope he does not get a major injury.
- The school year is right around the corner and I think I want to try new things this year. Specifically, I want to update my courses to reflect more issues of right now. I want to rebuild in a way that puts the energy on the students to bring the issues and talk about what they are really about. Not comics. Enough of the comics.
- Meamwhile, Madden is still screwing me and I will not likely get the promised discount. To make matters worse, the game doesn’t appear to be worth all the money I will be investing.
- Perhaps I will have more money to invest if I can get a W in tonight’s powerball or tomorrow’s mega millions. I would do really good thing with that huge jackpot. Sure, I’d spend a third on my family and myself, but I’d spend a third developing an organization to help the homeless (and perhaps branching out to do more following that). Perhaps even calling it the Turnaround foundation or the Arcology initiative…
- Life is good. Hot, but good. I expect I will wind up in the pool after all this summer…
