Why John Daly's Growing A Beard, Browns Fans Feeling Good & Heat vs. Lakers Fan At Vegas Casino
Running behind this morning
Ever have one of those mornings where it feels like you're running in place after starting work at 6:30 a.m.? Of course you have. Two adults working at home, kids on hybrid schooling, a toddler in the mix. The wife's iPhone decides to lock up Sunday and not turn on. The rear van door decides to keep popping open. Yeah, that's how it's going around here. I assume there's a full moon at some point this week.
We'll survive, unlike Dan Quinn in Atlanta. The Falcons might as well crash and burn in a quest for the No. 1 pick so they can trade it for a bunch of picks. Matt Ryan isn't the problem. He's capable of holding down the fort until the Falcons load up on picks and draft a quarterback 2-3 years down the road. The Giants are in the mix and look fully capable of being a No. 1 or No. 2 team in the draft. And somehow the Jets still haven't fired Adam Gase. That might be a strategic move. The Jets are 0-5 and show no signs of winning anytime soon.
The AFC North battle should be fun to watch over the next two months. The real disappointment is that the stadiums won't be full when these three teams go to war to decide the division. Think about it: three teams in the hunt, five games into the season. Emotions would've spilled over in Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Thanks, COVID.
And before I forget, defense in the SEC is looking a little rough. Kirby has to feel good about going to Alabama this week.
