I’ll come good. I’ve been on a whirlwind business/medical assessment trip to Toronto and back that started Tuesday at noon and is ending as I type this right now at 5:41 EST. Btw, wifey is glad she didn’t bear a daughter because her niece’s (discount) prom dress was $700 and needed $200 in alterations. I love her cheapness sometimes.
Minutiae:
-COOPER FLAGG ROLLED HIS ANKLE!: Meh. Duke will be just fine. Gotta say, I don’t watch much college ball anymore but there’s this ancient muscle that gets excited at the thought of so many games being played with so much on the line and underdogs coming through here and there.
-Mostert to the Raiders: Totally cromulent signing in my eyes. He’s a good teammate, a positive veteran presence and there’s still tread on the tires. “What? He’s turning 33 next month!”, you say. Hear me out-his career didn’t actually have meaningful carries until he was 27 years-old. That’s five years of hits that he avoided that didn’t wear down his body. There’s a trend that I’ve seen over the years that mirror this with respect to older running backs that were successful in their thirties. What do Marcus Allen, John Riggins, Ricky Williams, Ottis Anderson and Fred Jackson have in common? They all were contributors late in their careers and missed significant games (therefore hits) due to holdouts, injury, suspensions or lack of use. I’m sure there’s something to this and I think I need to dig a bit deeper.
-The Senators are nine games over .500 in mid-March and in the wild card driver’s seat. [spreads arms out in dramatic fashion] Catch me, I’m fainting.
-Believe it or don’t, the Rams couldn’t unload Kimberley Kupp’s massive…contract. I think he’s got one more good year in him as a first-down maker and then the miles of yards that he’s run will catch up to him. Okay, thinking about it some more, maybe two because he’ll not see a CB1.
Sports For Viewing Tonight:
All kinds of NHL hockey and college basketball. What, do I have to hold your hand? You know what you like. (I’m tired and cranky. Sorry about that)
