  1. Gerrit Cole:

    He credited the Astros staff

    That's, ah, not really the defense you think it is.

    1. Also, I now question how effective this stuff is:

      Harkins also said ex-Angels pitcher Andrew Bailey, now pitching coach of the Giants, requested "Sticky Stuff," as did the Minnesota Twins before the 2019 postseason.

    1. If the browns win the Super Bowl, that would be the fourth Vikings coordinator to win the Super Bowl as a head coach.

        1. That became head coaches? I'm guessing not many but I've only followed then the last 25 years or so.

          1. OCs who also were head coaches and never won a SB as head coach: Shurmur, Norv, Bevell, Linehan, Burnsie.

            DCs who also were head coaches and never won a SB:
            Emmitt Thomas (interim), Neill Armstrong, Bob Hollway.

  2. I waited a long time for that Browns playoff win. I'm going to milk it all week with some Steelers fans I know.

  3. We got an email this morning with the news that my mother-in-law's senior living place will be giving round one of COVID vaccines on Wednesday.

    The place has done an amazing job of keeping everyone safe during the pandemic and I can't wait until we can have my MIL over for dinner.

    1. My dad got notice that he will get Vaccine from the VA on January 25. Still two weeks away but very happy to see the wheels in motion.

        1. We just got the results back from our weekend tests. All four of us were negative, which I expected.

      1. That's amazing. My mother-in-law's place has not had out-of-control spread, but there have been quite a number of cases. Of course, she's in Iowa where there was no mask mandate until mid-November. Even though the residents has been isolated in their rooms since last March, the staff are still out in the community.

      2. That is indeed amazing.

        My parents live in the Masonic Home community in Bloomington, albeit in an independent living house. To the best of my knowledge, the Big House has not had spread, or at least not uncontained spread, which would be terrible, given that they have both a memory unit, standard nursing home care, and a long-term rehab center.

    2. Mom's nursing home got their first round of shots last week, as did the nursing home in Gettysburg.

  4. Lasorda is dead, long live Lasorda.

    H/T to the video billboard on I-10 at the superdome for alerting me to the passing of the dodger's manager. (I live in LA not L.A.)

  5. Belichick says thanks but no to the medal of freedom. Huh. I'm certain that Rep. Jordan .... nevermind.
