Hope everyone had a good weekend. We're inching closer and closer to some real football. Love it! The talk this morning started off with the Redskins and the QB shuffle with Griffin out in place of Cousins. I am not going to even begin to profess to know what is going on with that team right now and that position. I know Shanahan did the kid no favors playing him clearly hurt in that game when it seemed the whole world got it except him. Griffin has never been the same since. I hear talk about him not being popular in the locker room but who the hell knows except those in there. Sometimes where there is smoke there is indeed some fire. Sometimes the chemistry is just not right with certain individuals. Hell I can remember that just from high school. It is 100% speculation on my part but I think maybe it would be in everyone's best interest to try and find that guy a place to start over with fresh surroundings. Funny how his leadership was never in question while playing at standout levels at Baylor but now they are being called into question. It is not like Geno Smith where I well recall Kansas State players declaring how Smith quit in a game against them when the Cats were smacking down his club. Smith was not that respected, from all I ever heard Griffin was. And now not? I think when a player gets injury prone the frustration in all areas mounts. I cannot see the atmosphere improving for the guy in Washington, only growing more toxic and detrimental to the team overall.
Also some talk, or continued talk about the two teams that could be steam rolling towards a confrontation in the world series. St Louis and Kansas City. I am telling you right now if it does happen there will be some fireworks around those stadiums. I hope it stays civil. There is some legit hatred brewing. I think that side of it is comical. It's not like 99.9% of these people even know a single player. People tend to get a little too whack a doo over their loyalty to teams sometimes. We'll see. I am one of those people who is a die hard Cardinals fan but also pull for the Royals to do well. I harbor no hate. Just amusement as those who do. Those poor souls must have led charmed lives to actually feel getting all twisted up and on full tilt over something like that. It's sports for gods sake. Get a life.
Okay, that was my soap box moment for the day. Huge week in sports is approaching and I cannot wait. Great time of year to be a fan. As always if anyone has a view point please chime in. Like I said, just consider this the big round table at the diner talking sports with the guys. Simple as that.
