I am a simple man writing a simple blog talking about high school football and sometimes I find other things that I simply must put on paper.
I went to bed last night with a little over a minute left in the Steelers-Browns game because the score was 21-7 and I was not going to win any money in fan duel.
Little did I know I would wake up to chaos from that damn game last night.
I have seen the replay probably 10 times of Myles Garrett attacking Mason Rudolph with a helmet and it brings up a few questions to me.
First of all, Garrett should be and probably will be suspended for the rest of the year. You talk about a gutless move and this was it. You talk about a stupid move and that was it. You talk about a clear violent attempt to hurt another man and this was it.
Suspended for the rest of the year? How about suspended for two years with anger management counseling, drug testing, and community service of like a million hours.
Let me ask you. If I go into a bar and have a few drinks and I am watching a game with the other people at the bar and we get into an argument about the game and we start fighting what happens? Well chances are we would be escorted off the premises and that's about it. But what if I took my beer bottle and hit the other guy in the head with it?
I am fairly certain I am going to jail.
So why isn't Myles Garrett facing criminal charges.
A helmet weighs maybe ten pounds and they are made to stop concussions from happening and he hit another man in the head with it. I believe if it hit flush it could have killed Rudolph. I know they were in the middle of the game but a violent act is a violent act and I could care less if it was in the heat of the moment. There are a lot of men in jail for a heat of the moment crime.
So lock the man up. I could care less how much money he has. I could care less how talented he is. I could care less if he is a good guy off the field or not. He needs to be punished and punished in a way no player has ever been punished before. In my eyes it was basically a childish man acting childish and if I hit a man in the head I am going to jail. Send his butt to jail and make him learn a lesson.
Okay I am done with that rant now. We can talk about high school football and the playoffs. We will not talk about my overall record anymore because you can look it up if you want to . I was bad last week, really bad, but hey it's okay. The picks are made to get people talking and lord knows they do.
Let's talk about the games that could be close first.
WACO- Brooks County
What the hell WACO? You lose to Northeast to basically knock yourselves out of the playoffs but then you beat Dublin, who was undefeated to make the playoffs and break Northeast's hearts. Which team are you? Well it all counts now so I am thinking you are the good team.
WACO 24 Brooks County 21
Fitzgerald- Bleckley
What the hell Bleckley? You lose to Southwest in the last game of the season and because of that loss you have to open up with Fitzgerald ? I think I know which team shows up for them.
Fitzgerald 35 Bleckley 26
Westside- Appling
Westside has d1 kids all over the place but ended the regular season at 6-4. They won't live to see another day against Rick Tomberlin and Appling County.
Appling 27 Westside 20
Mary Persons- Eastside
MP squeezed into the playoffs and have a winnable game in the first round. I think they will keep it close but I don't think they will win.
Eastside 35 Mary Persons 28
Perry- Hampton
Perry has proven to me that they can get it done but Hampton is not a bad football team. I take the home team here in a game that could be really close
Perry 27 Hampton 17
Jones County- South Effingham
Jones County what the hell ? 44-14 last week ? Who are you ? South Effingham is a good football team with a win over West Laurens this year. Are you going to show up this week because I am sure the Stockbridge game has been watched . Are you a state title threat ? Nope, not any more
Jones County 34 South Effingham 27
Veterans- Riverdale
Veterans who the hell are you ? I thought you were ready to step into the limelight and play WRHS like you belonged. I guess we aren't quite ready for that.
Veterans 16 Riverdale 10
HOCO-Evans
HOCO is better than their record and Evans is not a great team . It could be the upset game but not quite.
Evans 24 HOCO 21
Blowouts
Wesleyan 42 FPD 14 - miracle win got FPD in but everyone knows miracles don't happen twice in a row.
Prince Avenue 31 Stratford 6- Nothing to be said. Stratford had a solid year with what they had
Dublin 99 Early County 0- Dublin will come in pissed and remain pissed.
Peach County 63 Brantley Co 0 - No need to say anything.
Pierce Co 37 Central 17- The Chargers had a great season and will be better next year. They aren't quite ready for this.
West Laurens 41 Luella 6
Never pick a team named Luella. West Laurens is going deep in the playoffs.
WRHS 49 Jonesboro 20
No questions here.
