Oh I agree. I actually see him as being, potential wise, kind of similar to his K-State predecessor Skylar Thompson. Neither one were seemingly "NFL bound." Thompson fell to the 7th round and really only saw any actual playing time as Tua's backup. A guy like Howard could drop earlier in the draft and under the right circumstances could do considerably better in terms of career. The problem is, when talking QB's... everyone is looking for the 1st round unicorn. And when you need a solution due to injury or what have you... there are a lot of "didn't turn out to be that unicorn" QB's bouncing around. And turning to one of them makes a bigger splash than drafting a qb at round 6 or 7 and having a solid QB2 or 3 for a decade or so.

So I watched the second week of the new TGL (TMRW Golf League) last night. For those who might not be aware, it's a casual league for professional golfers played indoors using a massive simulator and rotating green with hundreds of actuators that adjust the contour to match the green on the screen (think "Top Golf for millionaires.") It was entertaining enough, though no match for real golf. I think the most entertaining part was seeing the golfers, typically austere and focused on tour, actually having fun and enjoying each other in friendly, no-stakes competition. There was one shot taken by Kevin Kisner that was so bizarre and bad, it had all 6 golfers laughing themselves into tears! I haven't seen Tiger Woods smile like that in years; he looked like he was enjoying golf again despite playing like shit (they all did, honestly, but there were smiles all around.) The atmosphere is also the polar opposite from PGA tour golf; it's more like football or basketball with music blaring, and the relatively small crowd in the arena making tons of noise.
Yeah, it looked like a good time; I bet being there in person would be a blast, but I'll watch on TV if there's nothing else on.

Trademark office rejects 'Utah Yetis' team name

Maybe because the NBA already has the Toronto Raptors? I know there are a few exceptions, but it's generally uncommon to see a team name/mascot cross sporting lines. But yeah, "Yetis" was just dumb, and like you, the NHL could fall off the face of the planet, and I'd not even notice let alone mind. They've put a boring sport in a boring state, and they tried to give the team a dumb name; sounds like a winning formula to me. Hell, just call them the Utah Mormons. It fits, and the Mormons are too nice not to let them have it.I dont care about the NHL at all, but wtf kind of name is the Utah Yetis when the Utah Raptors is right there. Fyi, Utahraptor is like Velicoraptor or Deinonychus, but bigger. Seriously, why is there even a discussion?Trademark office rejects 'Utah Yetis' team name
