Dave Cokin’s Hardcore Football 11/04/09

One more day off from blogging as I’m spending as much time as possible working on college basketball. Season gets underway on Monday. Seems like last season just ended. Another sign I’m getting up there.

I had a monster Tuesday, 3-0 in the NBA, 1-0 in NHL, and hit the opinion in the football game. Could not have come at a better time following my miserable football weekend. Nice to be back on the beam.

Remember to call my free pick phone for the Wednesday comp play, on tape at 1-888-712-6800. Back Thursday with some college football notes for the upcoming weekend.

Hamels Update

post from Dear (Tommy) John Letters on 04 November 2009 12:29:00 AM. © Dear (Tommy) John Letters

New York Times reporter Tyler Kepner brought some clarity to the Cole Hamels comments that have had so many in an uproar. He added two things that are often omitted from post-game interviews, 1) context, and 2) the quote in its entirety:

Please, let?s spare the outrage and understand the context. I was standing three feet from Hamels when he made that comment. Here?s what happened. Hamels was asked a hypothetical question, to give his state of mind if, in fact, there is no Game 7 on Thursday and he has pitched his final game of the season.

Hamels understood the premise, and here is how he responded:
?I can?t wait for it to end. It?s been mentally draining. But it?s one of those things, when a year ends, you just can?t wait for a fresh start. We have 30 teams right now that are waiting for that next season, that are going to work as hard as they possibly can in the off-season to make things better and go into the season with a positive mindset and get to the World Series. That?s when Game 7 can definitely put it into a better perspective, but it?s one of those things where you just want to work as hard as you possibly can and try to get to the next start. Anytime you get to start over, it makes things a little bit easier.?

I don't want to tell you "I told you so," but .... wait... what's another way to say I told you so?
