Reading a book about coaching offensive line, because I’m a specific type of neurodivergent. I find it endearing that Rick Trickett spends 3x the words talking about his one year as the head coach of Glenville State as he does his year of being Nick Saban’s OL coach.

The more I play CFB27, the more convinced I am that it is a bad game, especially if you play on the hardest difficulty. Offense is unplayable. Offensive linemen block the wrong man so runs get blown up in the backfield often. Defensive backs are clairvoyant and jump every route. It’s dumb.

My favorite behind the scenes story about this is D’Lo Brown was there as a teen. Years later, the WWF was back in that arena and D’Lo was standing next to Ron as a member of The Nation of Domination. He told him about it in the middle of a promo and the toughest man in wrestling got choked up.
