That's an obscure football school, but I guess with SC being defeated and no longer undefeated it's wide open again.
I'm rooting for the local MLB teams in what should be the long awaited Freeway Series!!! :D

Football Q.

It is sort of cute that Son1111 is so enthusiastic about football that he is trying to teach me what things are.

Except that he asked me what it meant for a linebacker to 'pull' someone. So I told him it meant to block someone and move them into a specific direction, like pulling to the left to open up a hole to the right.

He had a long complicated answer that didn't sound anything like this.

But he is cute in his enthusiasm.

I looked it up...

Pulling:

Definition: When a player leaves one area of the field, generally moving back and then over, to block in an area other than his normal position.
Examples: A sweep is a good example of a play that uses pulling blockers. Generally, the two guards pull out of their normal blocking zones and run to a predetermined side of the field to block for the running back.

Well, I am willing to learn more things about something I love....

Oh, and I told him he was right. It happens on occasion......

At least the Mets don't have Jerry Hairston, Jr. in left field like the Reds do. In the span of 3 minutes, he's misplayed two balls into triples...... one of them hit by your former closer Braden Looper!

Much more entertaining than some silly debate.....

Unfortunately the QB has had his foot broken.

Not good.

I must explain.

I am rooting for the Brewers tonight because the Cubs have already clinched.

If the Brewers win and the Mets lose, the Brewers take the wild card lead.

Yeah! for the Brewers. Shut up, Jose Reyes to the Mets.

The Phillies Magic Number is now 2. If the Mets end up losing, it will be one.

If the Marlins hold on, the Mets will trail the Phillies by two games with two games left.

Ryan Howard hit another homer.

He probably did too much "pulling".
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.
