Quote of the day
"A matchup that probably nobody wanted, but too bad. Here we come!" -- NY Jets coach Rex Ryan, on next weekend's Jets@Colts AFC Championship gameDaily Blurb
The NFL weekend was going according to plan, and then the 4th game came along. And while the Jets played well down the stretch, the most surprising aspect was the two missed field goals from 40 and 36 yards by Nate Kaeding. Inexplicable. You expect that sort of thing from Shaun Suisham. But not from Kaeding.
Only three Pickoff slates had all four games picked correctly. Of those, KelRena was the only one to double the Jets. More stunningly, check out the full season leader. Even with just three games to go, there are still at least a handful of slates that are within range of a championship. But I sure never saw this coming.
Today is national holiday - Martin Luther King Day - in the U.S., and the fantasy implication is that there are a bunch of afternoon NBA games. You can usually wait until early evening to set up your fantasy hoops rosters on a Monday. But that’ll be too late today.
Tomorrow (Tuesday), I’ll be driving my daughter back to college, so there will be no blurb. You’re on your own. Let's be careful out there!
