Random Thoughts While "Safer-At-Home"

The mind is wandering down various paths lately. Might be a little of cabin fever stemming from this whole weird world we're in now.

• For example, IF the upcoming college football season is cancelled by Covid-19, will there be a push from our friends in the south to just hand the national title to either Alabama or Clemson, since those programs seem to feel entitled enough to claim the right?
• Green Bay shocks most of Packer Nation by trading up (four whole spots mind you) to take quarterback Jordan Love. While the Pack has other more pressing needs (wide receiver, defense come to mind), I get the move. While Aaron Rodgers is under contract for a couple more seasons, and wants to play into his 40s, having a project on deck to develop isn't a bad move. Think back, Packer Nation, to the names Brunnell, Detmer and Brooks -- clipboard-carrying QBs that studied under Brett Favre, and were then traded for draft picks. Seems to have worked out for all involved.
• Wondering if the Packers were hacked? That might be the only way to explain picks on Day 2, although I do understand the logic with A.J. Dillon, since running backs Jamal Williams and Aaron Jones are entering the last year of their contracts.
• Have to give the Packers a barely-passing grade in this draft, a "C-/D+". Granted, you need to wait two or three years in to really know if a draft was successful or not. But, there doesn't seem to be a lot of right now help coming after this draft. Most draftniks that I looked over had them dead-last in the NFL for this draft.
• Area golf courses finally opened this past week, and I managed to get out and play nine at a local course. They had those pool toys known as "noodles" in each hole -- so you didn't have to remove the pin. Actually kinda liked that, since anything hitting the noodle was considered down.
• Speaking of golf, looks like the oldest league in Madison, the Gisholt Golf League which plays at Odana Hills Golf Course, is going to gear up mid-May. May 14th year in the league (all with big ol' Gary as my partner). Still waiting to hear of some of our members will be allowed cart use or not -- many members are well north of age 65, a few are in the 80s and still going strong.
• Will there be a baseball season? If there is, it will be unlike any season ever. It might just come down to a tournament.
• The NFL is preparing for several scenarios due to Covid-19. We may see a shorter season that doesn't even start until October, doesn't have bye weeks and wraps up the end of February with the Super Bowl. 

We're all in the same boat here, friends, playing the wait-and-see game. Stay positive, stay safe and keep that social distancing going!
