College Football 2023

Losing Hunter is a huge deal for CU’s defense. I think Oregon will carve them up.

I hate lines like that, but I see no reason for Oregon to deserve that love, even at home. Hunter is out for CU, but still, they have a lot of skill players.

Pssst… Colorado hasn’t played anyone yet.

They have the next two games to prove they’re the real deal, but currently the only reason anyone is talking about them is because Deion Sanders has “LOOK AT ME” tattooed on every square inch of his body, and the media can’t help themselves.

Preach, Preacher!

Definitely true.

He’s got players on offense. The defense seems thin on that count.

I go back and forth on Deion. I think he’s a bad person. Or all least so self absorbed he is bad for other people.

As a coach? We’ll find out.

He seems to do a good job hiring coaches and inspiring players but he’s also a first rate self-obsessed asshole.

He has an objective track record of being a horrible person, but he’s certainly an interesting character. And he was an amazing athlete to watch.

By all accounts from teammates, that’s a persona he puts on and was a great teammate behind closed doors.

Some narcissists are really nice. Even charming.

Howso, out of curiosity?

I don’t remember anything more than excessive “hotdogging” early in his MLB career. I have some vague memory of Carlton Fisk sorting him out on the field.

Yeah, I haven’t followed him that much over the years, but over this three week span of fame, I’ve found him to be a pretty impressive person.

At a minimum, he sternly decries death threats from his fans against other players. Should be the bare minimum but it’s not really common amongst many prominent people these days.

I know absolutely nothing about him off the field, which is why I asked.

I don’t remember him being a dirty player in the NFL, because you pretty much have to actually make contact with players to be dirty.

He was a big part of this mess:

And he starred in a reality show about his family.

The last is the most damming.

To be clear, I’ve never heard anything to suggest that he’s abusive, a philanderer, or a reprobate.

Pretty much sleepwalking through work today because I’m so excited for tomorrow. Most ranked vs ranked games than any weekend since like 05 and a few non ranked games that look to be really good. I need the remote from that shitty Adam Sandler movie today.

He once killed 5 hookers and blamed it on Craig James.

I’d forgotten about the charter school fiasco. Definitely shady shit.

Working from home comes in really handy for CFB Saturdays. That’s the only reason I have so many screens. If I had to get another job I’d lose two screens instantly.
