Some times you need to think about how things are going ot be affected in the future and be patient. 

A wild Monday night football game recapped. The start of the NBA season and Washington State will have a new football coach.

I make the case for why Cincinnati and Coastal Carolina belong in the CFP. Also it is Monday so it is time to talk about NFL QB coverage inconsistency and the newly open Job and odds for coaches to take it.

I recap the Thursday night game between the Eagles and the Bucs. I also talk about the narratives that come from the game and what it says to the public. 

I talk about the idea that just because Jon Gruden was spewing hateful things in his email, everybody does. Not only is it not true but it is disrespectful. I also discuss how people always try to change the narrative when it comes it issues of race. 

I talk about the nuance involved when we call Kyri Irving selfish vs when we call Ben Simmons selfish. 

Today I talk about the fallout from the Jon Gruden resignation including my disappointment in Mike Tirico. Ben Simmons and how Joel Embiid should feel. and Lamar Jackson Stealing the weekend.

Sometimes in sports we can get bored and try to entertain ourselves and when we do, we risk getting too cute and losing our identity. I believe that is what has happened to the Chiefs. I see it all the time in high school football where the teams with all the talent experiment with things instead of perfecting the things they do well. 

The idea that coaches get credit for new philosophies or play innovations is laughable because nothing is new. The problem is that only certain coaches get this praise. 

I talk about the fact that in life there are things you can compromise on but there are also things that don't get that luxury. Playing defense is one of them. If you don't play it, you are not winning a championship.
