Dak Prescott disclosed on Thursday that he delivered a bold promise to Quinnen Williams at the Dallas Cowboys minicamp.

Monday Quickie - Fire Davey

Fire Davey.   The man can't help but blame the players and I don't want that type of guy leading this team.  Maybe a veteran team can ignore him or maybe he wouldn't dare anger those guys, but this isn't a veteran team. It's a team of kids and they need someone to support and shield them.   There are numerous reasons to fire the guy. His behavior this weekend pushes that all aside to get to number 1. Even if you landed on "well he won the series and changing the manage...

WTF: Rafael Devers Traded To Giants

The Boston Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday in exchange for pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison and a pair of prospects (outfielder James Tibbs III and pitcher Jose Bello). The teams had been discussing a Devers deal for the past few weeks. Devers, in his ninth season with the club, had been the last member of the 2018 World Champions still in a Boston uniform. He's also in the second year of a 10-year, $313.5 million contract. Initial news of the trade st...

Slow fade

 Are we talking about this blog or the Nats? Hey yo!  After the nice run that ended with a sweep of Arizona the Nats have played, as we've gone over before, like you'd expect a 75 win team to play.  Competitive enough that you would be surprised at them being swept in two straight series. Not good enough that you'd really expect them to win two straight series against better teams.  And there are a fair number of better teams.  The dregs of the NL remain the dregs, the...

HISTORIAN JAKE WEGNER LOCATES UNMARKED GRAVE OF LEGENDARY BOXER PAT KILLEN

Minnesota boxing historian Jake Wegner tells the story about how he found the unmarked grave of 1880’s Minnesota Boxing Hall of Fame heavyweight Pat Killen: “I’d been waiting over a decade for the chance to visit Old Cathedral Cemetery in Philadelphia, close to the old Haddington district. I’ve know for a long time that the […] The post HISTORIAN JAKE WEGNER LOCATES UNMARKED GRAVE OF LEGENDARY BOXER PAT KILLEN appeared first on MN Boxing Events, Shows, News, MN Boxers, Schedule .

These kids aren't alright

This doesn't have anything to do with the Cubs series. 1 of 3 from the Cubs is what should be expected and seeing Gore look like an ace again is great. However, we are in the "stats are real now" part of the season and last time we looked at the kids whose stats said real good things about them. CJ Abrams continues to be cool but I noted his propensity for extended cold streaks was keeping him from being special. That's not the point, he's still overall good. The only one with a real issue out...

Monday Quickie : Hey hey!

 I'm thankful for a lot but I'm very thankful today that the Nats team is winning in strong fashion and not sneaking out close wins because if there's one thing that I hate (and as you can probably tell there are many) it's the trite re-use of the "Cardiac" nickname for any team of young players (Cardiac Kids!) or whose name slightly allows it because of a similar sound (CardiAc NAts!). That isn't happening here. I can breathe.   I'm also thankful for a great weekend of Nats bas...
