Good morning, all! It’s hump day!
The New York Mets are a mess, even if they won last night’s game against the Minnesota Twins. I am not surprised, as I explain in the above commentary.
Here is my nickel’s worth on some other thoughts:
I could be wrong, but I think the NFL draft, starting tomorrow, will have ratings going through the roof, even though the talent pool is not as strong as what next year’s is projected to be.
Illinois lawmakers are racing faster than those who ran in Monday’s Boston Marathon, with a $5B stadium plan to keep the Chicago Bears from moving to northwest Indiana. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Word is the PGA Tour is ending its Hawaii swing. For years the tour would open a new year by playing two tournaments in Hawaii but no more, according to Sports Business Journal. Word is The Sentry tournament is ending and The Sony Open will switch to the Champions Tour. Remember, the only constant in life is change.
Billy Donovan is leaving as coach of the Chicago Bulls. The NBA team had wiped out the front office, but wanted Donovan to stay. He decided, after six years as Chicago coach, it was time to move on. It will be interesting to see, where Donovan lands. It was rumored that he would resign and become the next coach at the University of North Carolina, but that position has already been filled. Fear not. We have not heard the last of Billy Donovan as a coach.
Yankees-Red Sox on a Tuesday night at Fenway with temperatures in the 40s does not excite me. You?
So Churchill Hills Downs, Inc., owner of the Kentucky Derby, has just bought the second leg of racing’s Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes. We live in a different world.
Mike Tomlin on Sunday Night Football? Let’s just say he would not be the first coach to diss the media, only to join the media, once his ties were severed from the rough-and-tumble world of the NFL.
That is going to do it for today’s newsletter. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
