Pie in the Sky Day

Cole Beasley will be catching balls for the Buffalo Bills. The Rangers tied in yesterday's game a la Cactus League. In two weeks, Opening Day commences. All 30 teams will take part, and I will be checking scores in either joy or agony. As Seal says, "Life carries on."

Okay, What Now?

Former Giants WR Odell Beckham, Jr. is now a Cleveland Brown. Yasmani Grandal is now catching for the Milwaukee Brewers. Andrew McCutchen is in Philadelphia. Conor McGregor made headlines by behaving badly about a mobile phone the other night. So many changes that make my wee head swim.

Manny's Millions (Yeah, I know it's canned)

NFL Conference Championships

I admit I haven't watched the NFL until the playoffs began in earnest. Now we have the AFC Championship featuring the Kansas City Chiefs (Texas Tech's own Patrick Mahomes, II) vs. the New England Patriots. Yawn. In the NFC Championship, the LA Rams (who beat my Dallas Cowboys!) face the New Orleans Saints.

• LA Rams vs. New Orleans Saints
• Kansas City Chiefs vs. New England Patriots

Why not?
