Didn’t realize the Falcons were playing the 1972 Dolphins. At least the Falcons looked like half the teams, dressed head to toe in black. The look alone was worth the ten points that they actually scored. What a dumpster fire. Not worth my time to track down pictures to post.
It is hard to remember the name of the Falcons coach. Raheem Morris, I believe. On Sunday Ceil said that neither head coach looked like a football coach. The Dolphins head coach grew up in Denver as a Broncos fan. His mom married a Broncos player (I think). The kids went to Harvard (or Yale?), then started working as an intern for the Broncos, worked his way up to a coach, and was promoted by the Dolphins from assistant to head coach. Wears funny pants.
Raheem Morris went to Hofstra – not exactly a football factory. Morris and the play calling leave much to be desired. That’s what all the guys on the radio say as well. Can’t believe people will pay hundreds to go watch this crap.
Arthur Blank seems like a nice, generous man, but let’s face it - he’s one of the worst owners in the NFL. His right hand man Rich McKay is supposedly not involved in the football operations, though it is obvious that’s who Blank turns to for advice. The team hasn’t been to the playoffs in 8 seasons.
Morris totally botched the kicking position. Cost them games. Management botched the QB position, tying up way too much money in two players. Had the best RB in the league last year and didn’t use him properly. First round draft pick Kyle Pitts has been a bust, as are a few others. RB Robinson and WR Drake London have been good picks. The defense has improved, but when the offense produces nothing, the defense can’t carry the game themselves.
Lots of throwback uniforms in the NFL this weekend: Steelers, Eagles, Broncos. Guess this blog is now all football, all the time.
Did not watch, but the World Series game sounded like a classic. 18 innings. Ohtani reached base 9 times, including 2 doubles and 2 homers. A walkoff home run by Freddie Freeman. Horrendous strike three call turned into an unfortunate double play against the Blue Jays.
Saturday: played golf. Teed off at 7:20. Not pretty, though I was able to hit a few good shots with my driver. Ceil baked scrambled egg muffin cups and grits for breakfast (below).
Got a haircut before the Tech game, and raked leaves afterwards. An 11000 step 5 mile day. Will probably have to rake leaves again on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Sunday: supper at the Cho’s, with the Halls, Brasfields, Chiles, and Lee. A traditional Korean dinner. The Cho’s daughter is deciding what college she will be a pole vaulter for. Might be Georgia Tech.
Monday: it was a mess out there. Did make it to the gym. Cehe airport.il drove the Earharts to the airport (above). Grabbed an extra jacket and umbershoot out of my trunk. Also a cap. Busy day. Spend all afternoon working with Leo. Finally got back to my desk and had 45 new emails.
Grilled chicken and roasted vegetables for supper. Been watching more Wheel of Fortune now that Ryan Seacrest is host, though I always liked Pat Sajak as well. Jeopardy seems to mix in more and more woke questions, though last night they were trending conservation for a change. Then the Manningcast.
A good article on why God allows suffering. Denison wrote about the same subject: how can an all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God allow such evil to exist? Even though I have done so often in books and articles, the question persists because the issue persists.
JOHNNY PODRES [SABR Bio] taught Frank Viola a changeup that transformed Viola from an 11-25 record over his first two seasons into a Cy Young Award winner. Podres was the pitching coach for MIN 1981-85. Viola became the World Series MVP in 1987 and won the Cy Young in 1988. Podres was the first pitcher to throw a shutout at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, on 04-Jun-1958, Podres blanked the Reds on 3 hits. He pitched for SDP in 1969, his last stop in the majors as a player.
UPS drivers are trained to drive safely. Well this dude sure cut me off this afternoon today.
