I was actually talking about this with someone today as we were watching the game. The Chiefs, Smith and Reid might play, at times, non-flashy football and might not be breaking some fantasy statistics, but they win. They consistently rise to the occasion when required and the team has done basically a turn-around…

Note to Chiefs haters: Yes, once again, the game would have been different if one little thing had gone the other way.

Notre Dame players think that they can simply apoligize during the last minute of the game all their personal fouls will magically disappear.

Thank god she wasn’t at Baylor!

Dear HRC: I keep thinking about that scene in The Abyss. You know the one where Ed Harris brings Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio back to life and, between bouts of CPR, he yells, “Goddammit, you bitch! You never backed away from anything in your life! Now fight!”? And she comes roaring back to life?

Some other things Trump didn’t know he had to do as president:

Cowboys defense thought it was clear nothing was going to happen. But Ben decided to force it on them. Seems like a pattern with him.

BAC TO THE FUTURE

This is, by far, a better morning after take than the ones over on The Slot that, so far, are only blaming Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and their voters.

It’s like these folks came out of the Rust Belt to vote against their own self-interests in order to burn some other disadvantaged folks that they thought were getting a better shake.

Spoiler alert: it’s not going to get better for them. It’s been downhill for them since the Reagan administration, but they keep voting for the folks that ship their jobs overseas, bankrupt their pensions, pull their social safety nets, etc. Asking for sympathy while shooting yourself in the foot really only…

Black president

With all the Trump coverage, I forgot how cool it is to have an adult president.

Very few top American players play overseas. They can make more money but they still don’t go. Lindsay Horan is one who has (Christen Press has as well). You will see more in the future as the level of play increases. The problem for the USWNT players is access to trainings and the endless friendlies that are played…

C’mon man, that’s not fair. Sox fans can’t write.

On the bright side, they missed out on this election too

Just before the final out, my 95 year old grampa, veteran of two wars, cancer survivor, and long-suffering cubs fan, pulled me aside and, with a tear forming in his steel grey eyes, said, “The blacks ruined this neighborhood and your sister dresses like a whore.” This was for him.

Theo Epstein said he’d turn the franchise around in 5 years, and in 5 years he’s got them winning the World Series. And he just put himself into the Hall of Fame.
