    Clay Travis on a roll today. Kidding aside. New York and California says pro sports are free to open next week....seems a bit different compared to what they were saying last week?? What happened other than the obvious.

    Modern a, Inc. a bio pharmaceutical reported results of an early stage test where 45 people reacted favorably to a potential vaccine. Headed tO Stage-2 testing. Not sure if this is the impetus, but certainly helped the market today

    When has Fran's program sent a player to the pros? The value to Iowa basketball may very well be greater if he were to go and get drafted this year. As it stands, who can Fran point to when recruiting kids and say, " I put (fill in the blank) in the league, and I can develop you the same way"? 

    To Scott's point, I don't see Iowa, with or without Garza, making a Final Four run next year. If Fran can parlay Garza making it into the pros into bringing in recruits with higher aspirations, that would do wonders for the program, imo.

    Amen to the that!

    Unfortunately, the house across the road is a rental and it seems almost every tenants idea of raising a dog since we live in the boondocks is to just let their dog, dogs run free?😖

    On my first bike ride this year, I was bit by a pit bull that was allowed to run loose by some people living in a rental. Dog was quarantined for 10 days at the local shelter as owners claimed that they couldn't keep it under control. Fortunately for me, the dog was not rabid. Owners have given the dog away. I still won't ride past the house as they have had other dogs they allow to run loose as well.

    My town has a rabbit infestation, and since I lived in city limits I cant shoot'em, wife dont want me to trap them because she knows I will want to eat them. So I just have to make extra efforts to protect my plants. Chicken wire does the trick. Really want to eat those rabbits though. 

    Human hair and/or blood scattered on the soil will work

    You guys might think that this is stupid, but...

    My wife has got me hooked on Our Town, on HGTV. Great young couple who have made it their mission to renovate her small hometown of Laurel, Mississippi. 

    Love their passion and love their desire to take a rundown and declining town and bringing it back to life. The talents they were both have are amazing.

    Great to see that this world, or at least this small part of it, is in awesome hands with the next generations.

    Namath had a good game in SB III (17/28/0/0) not great. I always thought Matt Snell should have been the MVP (30 carries 120 yards and the only Jets TD). The Jets won with one of the oldest recipes for winning football there is...great defense (4 turnovers) and a running game.

    We'll, I'm a little torn on that. He was the first QB to throw for over 4,000 yards in a season, and the only QB I've ever seen that had anywhere near his quick release and arm was Marino. Plus, the burden of those knees...

    He wasn't a talentless hack (and I know you weren't saying that) but he only completed 50% of his passes, and threw more INTs than TDs. 

    But, he did QB his team to victory in one of the two most important games in NFL/AFL history (the other being the 1958 NFL Championship that put pro football on the map).

    He played in NY...

    And he was a cultural icon...

    I know those last two shouldn't factor in, but they do...

    You forgot to mention that, to my knowledge, he’s the only pro football player ever to appear in pantyhose 🤓

    I am almost 63 so I was around and watched Super Bowl III. 

    I don't remember so much the hype leading into the game about the Colts being favored so much. I am sure that was a major story line leading up to the game, though. I wonder if the reason many/most remember that game as the Namath guarantee game is because the media today focuses so much on that when they look back on that game and, frankly, there is nothing else in Namath's career as memorable as that guarantee, and how he backed it up with his play in that game.

    On the other hand, Shula's career high point absolutely was the undefeated season. Again, the media plays that up every year when the remaining living players get together to celebrate once the last undefeated team loses their first game. 

    For an NFL historian, Shula's team losing when such overwhelming favorites might be his defining moment. But imo, for the average football fan the undefeated season is his claim to fame.
