My bad. It is Muir that has yo play that monster. Jack Jack from BG is cleared but not Muir’s transfer.Are you still picking Muir over Pine? Very brave.
From T. Peterson: I already picked Muir to win and posted it so it’s too late to change it. Looks like I could take an L on that one. But I was counting on the QB Agbunag to be cleared. To be honest Muir could have beat Bonita if he was playing. Their defense was pretty good and they have some athletes on offense but they struggled without a legitimate QB. As far as Jack Jack, yes he’s officially cleared so we’ll see what happens Friday. Rowland, BP’s opponent, is good – coming off a solid year.
Mike Tyson said everybody has a plan till you get punched in the mouth. We will see what happens when Jack Jack gets hit in Las Vegas on Friday.
From T. Peterson: Vegas? Baldwin Park plays at home against Rowland on Friday. BP doesn’t have any games in Vegas this season. If and when Lequand “Jack Jack” Jackson becomes eligible to play it won’t be in Vegas.
The action’s going to be hot at the old Coliseum Saturday, not because of the opponent, but because of this horrible weather. Saturday at noon, huh? I’ll be roughing it in my air-conditioned home, sipping a cold one in front of the big screen.
Or perhaps less right Levi? Check the injury rates of tweens that ride E-bikes? Yikes!! And Trump is the healthiest president ever eccording to his doctors.

Watson as starting QB just rubs me the wrong way.
it’s an important new study on CTE and the impact of football on the physical heath of those that have played in the NFL. TL/DR: 1 in 4 players (and perhaps more) examined had CTE at the time of their death.
