Christmas season is in full swing, fantasy football is over
ByHello again to my loyal contingent of readers. The Christmas season is in full swing once more. I am glad all my shopping was finished before Thanksgiving. Traffic is awful and stores have no floor help. Good luck with that. Well, my fantasy football season is over. I put on a late season charge, but missed the playoffs by one spot. Too many early season injuries to overcome. As Cubs fans have always said, “Wait “til next year.”
I must admit even I was surprised that UK beat NC last Saturday. I thought NC’s experience would be too much this early in the season. It appears the sky’s the limit for this team if they avoid injuries. Next year could be even better if the NBA keeps the new proposed 20-year-old age minimum. Keep your fingers crossed.
Political correctness has run amuck once again. On the news was the story of a Mass. High School football team that lost the championship game due to a penalty on a last second game-winning touchdown. The offense – the quarterback raised his arm in triumph to celebrate and was penalized for unsportsman like conduct. It is ridiculous when we have reached the point where you can’t show any emotion upon winning a game. Children need to learn that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Sometimes the other person is just better than you. Live with it.
Until next week, Doc.
