I love autumn—football, meaningful baseball, more football, the Nascar Playoffs, and most importantly, lots of football. This always reminds me of my time on the high school football team.
Oh what, you didn’t know that ol’ Uncle Max played some high school ball? Well I did…sorta. I was the varsity football team manager my Junior and Senior years—and DON’T call me a “Water Boy”, I never once handled a single bottle. I was really in charge of keeping the statistics during the games and making sure all the equipment was back on the bus after a road game. Sure I wasn’t the most athletic teenager in the world, but at least I got two varsity letters.
Xfinity Series Go Bowling 250 (5 wins)—Tyler Reddick: Another young gun makes himself visible for a Cup ride.
Cup Series South Point 400—MYSTERY PICKER (4 wins) PICKS Ryan Newman. Favorite (4 wins): Denny Hamlin—I’m picking a mild surprise to win, but Mystery might need to be drug-tested. Next Favorite (5 wins): Kevin Harvick—a recovery from last week’s tire disaster is in order. Dark Horse: Alex Bowman—been awhile since we had an real oddball winner, eh?
