Good morning!
A few random thoughts while I wonder if Sean Grande did a great Johnny Most impersonation last night with Terry Rozier's steal and dunk to the Pacers.
Wild ending. ?

- I don't know about you, but all I could think about watching that play was the Patriots could use Rozier (former football safety) in the secondary. Rozier is 6-2 and 200 pounds. Good size. Great quickness.
- Kyrie Irving was absolutely filthy down the stretch in that game.
- A touchdown and an extra point for the B's against Columbus.
- How about Charlie McAvoy with the Gordie Howe hattrick? Pretty good fighter too.

- Well, she's not wrong.
- We'll see how the boys do tonight with a back-to-back in Buffalo.
- I still can't get over how much Steelers fans complain. Yes, we all realize the rule sucks, but it's the rule and generally applied pretty consistently.
- I do think, however, that Al Riveron does take a lot of leaps of faith that a ball is without-question on the ground when no camera angle really shows that definitively. It has to be clear and definitive.
- Garoppoloco? Well, go nuts. Apparently they are loving Jimmy G. out in the Bay Area.
And away we go...
