Parade Day for the NFL and the Bulls experience a Boogie night
Today was Parade Day for the NFL. There was the Patriots Victory Parade, the
Anti-Roger Goodell Parade, and the parade of Falcons coaches leaving Atlanta
for other coaching jobs. Offensive
coordinator, Kyle “What’s a Run” Shanahan is leaving the Falcons to become the
head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.
Falcons quarterback coach, Matt Lafleur, joined Shanahan in leaving the
scene of the crime. He’ll be the LA Rams
new offensive coordinator.
The anti-Goodell parade was predictable, but maybe
Patriot fans should think Goodell. Maybe
that four game suspense made Tom Brady extra sharp and focused for the rest of
the season. Nobody is buying that are
they? Especially in Boston.
Where's Walker when you need him?
As a footnote to the game, afterwards Tom Brady’s game
jersey came up missing. Texas Rangers
have been called into the search. Maybe
they can also look for the Falcons defense. It went missing after the third
quarter.
Choose your Bears poison
In the aftermath of the Patriots Super Bowl win, backup
quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo is the subject of trade rumors. CBS Sports puts the Bears as the favorite to
pick him up. As a Bears fan, I don’t
know what scares me more, the memory of former Patriots backup quarterback,
Matt Cassel, or the memory of recent Bears first round draft choice, Kevin
White. Somehow I’m afraid that whatever
move the Bears make will be the wrong one.
A win is a win
In Chicago basketball news, the Bulls defeated the Sacramento
Kings Monday night, 112-107. Dwayne Wade
led the way for the Bulls with 31 points.
Michael Carter-Williams continued his strong play with a line of
21-6-4. The Bulls were played without
Jimmy Butler, who again was out with a bruised heel.
On and off the court
While the Bulls got the win, the Kings made more
headlines. The Kings Matt Barnes and DeMarcus
Cousins, apparently thinking they were still in a New York night club, got
involved in an altercation with the Bulls Taj Gibson and assistant coach Jim
Boylen. Boogie was promptly hit with a
technical foul, his 15th of the season.
Not content with that, Cousins drew his 16 technical foul with 1 second
left in the game, thus earning a one game suspension. On the bright side, it was the second time in
the last few days that Cousins teamed up with an assist to Barnes. The Kings are nothing if not a close knit
team.
Strategery (Yea, I Know)
One other thing that stuck me about Cousins game, he took
15 shots from the field. Nine of them
were from beyond the arc. The Kings
deploy their talent in strange ways.
More next time.
