I’ve been putting the playoff outlook into brackets on Mondays since 2004. Looked forward to doing it every week. I used to be off work on Mondays. I’d put The Score on, pour a beer, and clack away at the computer for an hour to build my post. Sports dork heaven.
Fortunately or unfortunately, I’m so busy these days, I wasn’t sure I had the bandwidth to continue. I have a two-year-old boy who powers through our house the way Mike Alstott used to power through Holy Cross. I’m back in school for some strange reason, at U of Wisconsin, still chasing that diploma that eluded me in the 90s. I work Mondays now, and the wife works until 8 on Mondays. I have 2 ref clinics this week and next. Basically I have a lot of excuses to skip this season.
But, insert Ditka quote here about cowards and losers and yada yada yada… I’m gonna keep my legs moving and get it done.
The outlook isn’t out yet, as of 4pm on Monday. Tonight I have a that basketball clinic. But tomorrow night, late, after Alstott is asleep and my homework is done, I should be able to crank out what it would look like if the playoffs started today.
Or not…. We’ll see.
