A little late this morning - I spent my evening watching the Padres/Rockies game instead of preparing for class, so my morning was spent scrambling to come up with something about European exploration in the 15th & 16th centuries. Cause & effect, baby - the bread & butter of any good history teacher.
TUESDAY UPDATE!!!
UT Vols
Nothing like a stupid team distraction the week of the Georgia game. Reserve linebacker Dorian Davis was arrested after a fight in his hometown of Iowa City, Iowa. Davis already missed this year's Orange & White game for violating team rules, so either he gets his act together or he will soon be back in the cornfields of Iowa.
Next game - vs. Georgia 3:30 p.m.
Atlanta Braves
Bobby Cox hints that next year may not be his last. He also touts Jo-Jo Reyes as a potential #2 starter, though I don't see it happening for a few more years. Speaking of lefties, Cox addresses Tom Glavine's future as well, saying he has something left and never misses a turn. He did not mention Mike Hampton, presumably so that Hampton might not attempt to read the quotation and strain a pupil muscle.
Tennessee Titans
Vince Young appeared on 60 Minutes Sunday night to talk about football and his father. I caught a little bit of the interview & came away liking V.Y. more than before (and I have been a fan since his days in Austin). He spoke about losing the Heisman to Reggie Bush as well as his relationship with his estranged father. When told that his father was proud of him, Young questioned whether he was proud of Young the player or Young the person. Solid guy - charismatic, funny and confident. Young reminds me of Muhammad Ali. In fact, if Ali were around today, I imagine he would be a quarterback instead of a heavyweight boxer. Quick, strong, a great leader - all the things that make V.Y. so successful. I'm cynical enough to be wary of jumping on the Vince Young bandwagon, but I have one foot on-board and the other is itching to make the leap.
Next game - vs. Atlanta 1:00 p.m.
Enjoy your Tuesday - another beautiful Chattanooga autumn day.
