Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (The 2022 Super Blue Chip Rankings)

If the last jedi is the one with Laura Dern then yes, it’s maybe the worst one they did as in 9/9.

I have blocked it from my memory though. Is it the one with the Casino? So painfully dumb
It has a love/hate relationship with the fan base.
 
@Ketchum Great read…love the effort proving out data points/results!

The mullet is gone now that he won a major! That was his public comment earlier in the year….he was not cutting until he won a major! It’s also the first time in two years I didn’t select him on one of my drafts (major miss). 17days and counting for Fall Camp! Hook’em
 
Thank you so much for sharing the Mama-baby Elephant rescue! Got me all choked up, but made my day to see the very best of humanity in full display. The love & passion for those sentient beings was truly awesome and inspirational!
 
I feel likes it's natural and reasonable to expect that GP is consulting with PK on the defense, and I hope it is happening on a daily basis. However, every time I've heard/read a Sark answer on how it is having GP on the staff, I hear about how GP's consulting is on the offense (I imagine from the point of view of how defenses will react to things on the offense or how to confuse/misdirect a defense) and making the offense better. I could understand downplaying any GP consultation with PK in order not to appear to lack confidence in your sitting DC, but has there been any public acknowledgement that GP is, in fact, consulting on PK's defense? It could very well be out there and I have just missed it or ignored it.

amen.
 
You might be eating too much sugar.

revenge of the sith too low, last Jedi way too high. Other than that agree with just about everything. I’d swap New hope and rogue one. The fact the death star existed as the premise of rogue ones movie was because of a new hope so it’s hard to slot it above it for me. but it is my 4th overall so love the love you gave it

It was the first thing he mentioned when asked about GP on Thursday.
 
Great issue of TTFTW!

I love the stuff about JWhit. We all have our favorite players and love watching them perform, but this is the sort of inside baseball that most of us don't have access to.

Also, I'd love to hear some more follow up stories on guys like Swoops. It's great to hear how the guys we were such fans of are doing a few years down the road.

Lastly, I love a good elephant story. Who doesn't have a soft spot for those gentle giants?

With regards to the follow-up stories, it usually just comes down to time. We'd like to do more, but we juggle a lot on the daily. But, it IS a good idea.

To really simplify the take away, yeah there are no coincidences about why those teams won all the championships. There’s a lot of numbers and digging around going on, but this really isn’t rocket science once you see it all.

Ketch and others went to say TLJ was a good Kylo and Rey story. Much of it is. But they ignore that 40% of the film is a nonsense B plot

Also, and even though I like Kylo in the movie, it really shows through how there was no directive from the studio about where to take this character. He doubles down at the end wanting to destroy the bunker and kill his own mom. Why? Earlier in the movie it was said killing his dad tore him apart and he hesitated to kill Leia. So what was the point of his turn into tyrannical evil at the end of the movie?

The only thing that people should have taken away from that is the gulf between the top and the rest.

Yup. At the end of the day, you're trying to understand what wins championships. it's all there, simply.
 
No. 2 - Bertier and Julius would approve...


Julius would have never become great without Bertier getting up in his face at practice and basically calling him lazy. Bertier was a real leader. He had what it took to kick his best friend off the team, because it was good for the team but probably ended their friendship.

Except it didn't end their friendship.

Julius calling Bertier out for his bullshit is what started the friendship.
 
Ketch's rankings crusade is exhausting.

Today's topic wasn't really part of the crusade. It was to point out who has the most talent at the start of this season... not to prove the values of the rankings below it.

The friendship that ended was Bertier and Ray, who he had the balls to kick off the team.

No, what’s exhausting is sucking for a decade and a half. This is just information that you can do with what you please. If you aren’t into the landscape of recruiting in that way, skip it. Many of us are nerds that enjoy seeing the breakdowns, even if the reality is harsh.
 
Only after Julius exposed his previous leadership failures.
Well, yes, he needed another set of eyes to see something he wasn't seeing for himself. He and Ray had probably been best friends since they were little kids. But, once he did see it, he took the action that a team captain should take.

It's also not like I didn't write 9 other sections with a lot to chew on.

This column is unique in that there's always at least a few big sections for everyone.

Might need to fire up the Titans later this week. It's been a while. ;)

I'll admit, I don't remember that at all. A train? Wasn't that Mandalorian?
