I hadn't really thought about Gil Thorp in years, but it's still rolling along.

Today on Gil Thorp - Comics by Neal Rubin and Rod Whigham - GoComics

The playdowns!!!
One of the writers is a features columnist for the Detroit News

Cap City Prep would be a lahh dee dahh big city school and Rock Reed would be a Heisman Trophy QB who busted out of the NFL at age 28, found Jesus, then went into coaching.

This just reminded me that back in my days of covering HS football, one of our area schools had a kid named Lance Broadway. Should have been a star QB, but alas, he was only the backup. He did start at safety , though, and was pretty good, as I recall.

If you are worried about overdosing on Tahm Brady coverage Sunday night, NBC and YouTube.tv may have your back.

"Cap City Prep" sounds like a 1970s segregation academy.

Today, it sounds like one of those private school basketball factories

Incredible that he also appeared in TV and movies, but unfortunately, no theatre. Thanks to The Press Box bringing up the clip of Phil McCann, I now know that that is called nominative determinism.

Tim Cowlishaw is morphing into Skip Bayless in his dotage.

Are NFC East-leading Cowboys still missing a winning look at head coach with Mike McCarthy?

I'm adopting a new family rule: Any time the Jags are getting less than eight points against a reasonably competent team this season, I'm betting on the other team.
The Bengals qualify as a reasonably competent team, especially at home on a Thursday night. Bad teams usually seem to struggle in that spot.

So is Tom Brady going to have his Derek Jeter moment at Foxboro?
