Some thoughts about yesterday's college football action.
Always watch the action and find myself having these thoughts - so figured why not just write them down and share them on Substack.

A little inside baseball but sometimes the "B" on my keyboard sticks so often a word appears missing a "B." I've become so attuned to searching for those missing "B's" that I often overlook other clearly misspelled words. Of course I could just get a new laptop but I've been putting that off as using this one has been a habit for nearly 3-years.

Seems like my thoughts and observations keep getting more political but the truth is the Biden administration years were just so bizarre and now the Trump administration is fixing all the low hanging fruit of stupid prior mistakes - you can't help but notice. Even on a college football Saturday.

Last night New England beat the Jets 27-14. It was a great win with Gronk signing his ceremonial one-day contract and all but I'll be honest - not a fan of the new Nor-easter uniforms. They look like someone bought a jersey but ran it through the washer too many times until the color faded. Stick to the blue and occasional red Pat Patriot uniforms.

The Green Bay 10-7 loss at Lambeau to the Eagles on Monday Night has brought out a lot of criticism on both Packers QB Jordan Love and coach Matt LaFleur. Think the criticism of LaFleur is mostly venting. He's been widely compared to the 49ers Kyle Shanahan and Rams coach Sean McVay (LaFleur even has a better winning percentage than those two "geniuses"). To the venters LaFleur should be on the hot seat though.
The case of Jordan Love is more complicated. He suffers from the fact that he does not appear to be a young Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre (his two predecessors with the Packers). Such expectations are unfair - but they are real.
The situation reminds me of the situation Mike Greenwell found himself in with the Red Sox. Greenwell took over LF from Hall of Famer and the most feared hitter in the AL - Jim Rice who took over patrolling the Green Monster from legend and no-doubt Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski. Greenwell was an excellent hitter but just wasn't either Rice or Yaz.
Perhaps Love is suffering likewise because he's not Rodgers or Favre? Maybe that's too much to expect? Or just maybe Green Bay needs their version of Manny Ramirez.

President Trump signed the bill to reopen the government after 43 days and the longest shutdown in history. The second longest was 35 days and happened during his first term in office. Be honest - do you remember anything about that earlier government shutdown? What was that shutdown about? Anything?

Book idea: do a first person book of what it was like to be the wife of Moses. We know much about Moses but almost zip about his wife Zipporah. We know that she was the daughter of Jethro, the mother of Moses' two sons Gershom and Eliezer, and that her name means bird but other than that - a clean slate.
The book could be the same genre as Grendel by John Gardner or Layer Cake by JJ Connolly. Use the same storytelling techniques but remain historically correct. The plot basically writes itself.

It's a dumpster fire at LSU as the "you're fired" wait a minute Brian Kelly saga continues. Meanwhile the Big Ten says "Hold my beer" with its private equity deal. Who thought that the release of a new college football playoff standings would be the least controversial thing today?

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month an Armistice was signed to end the carnage of World War I. November 11th became Armistice Day cross much of the world but Wold War II caused the day to morph into Veteran's Day instead because what's the point in honoring an Armistice agreement that wasn't adhered to?

The Senate passed a resolution to reopen the government. Now it needs to get a vote in the House and then President Trump's signature. Until those things happen the government is still shut down. Have faith that will all happen but just enjoying the Democrats rightfully blaming Chuck Schumer for this disaster of a strategy with some saying he should be replaced with Bernie Sanders. These people don't know the first rule of holes do they?

Going to have to disagree with this statement. Yes a therapist might say "Time's up" but you cannot be suggesting they provide an open ended schedule. Also many of those in most need of therapy may not have a clergy person, relative, or wise layperson to turn to. Or in some cases these very people may be the cause of the trauma. Never personally used a therapist or felt the need to but I do not assume others are as lucky. Depression is real and mental health issues are also real - if you feel the need for help - seek it!

A deal has reportedly been reached where 10 Democratic Senators will vote to reopen the government. The deal does not include an extension to Obamacare which Chuck Schumer had promised. If the deal is not reached look for Senate Majority leader Thune to cave to President Trump's request to use the "nuclear option" to get rid of the filibuster in which case the CR passes and the shutdown was for nothing. If a deal isn't reached look for Chuck Schumer to face challenges for how he's handled the situation. The deal gets done one way or the other.
