WEEK 5 ADENTRO Y AFUERA, LESSONS LEARNED

Familia, we’re about the quarter point in the 2021 season. What have we learned? Don’t bet against Tom Brady vs. Father Time. Sam Darnold needed a change of scenery, and has been reborn as a dual-threat QB. Derrick Henry has caught more passes than Alvin Kamara. A great TE is as valuable as any top RB in Fantasy Football.

CLAYTON & MATTHEW: TEAMMATES & FRIENDS BEGINNING IN 2ND GRADE, CLAYTON KERSHAW & MATTHEW STAFFORD RISE TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS

Marianne Kershaw was sitting in the stands watching her 7-year-old son Clayton’s youth soccer team play an exhibition during halftime of a Dallas Sidekicks game in the mid-1990s, when a familiar-looking blonde-haired, mop-topped, gangly youngster scored an acrobatic goal. Thinking it was her son from her distant vantage point, she got up and did what any parent would do.

WEEK 5 LOS PEEKUPS, ALMOST THE QUARTER TURN & HELLO BASEBALL POSTSEASON

I love it when we have 4 games in the books in the NFL season. At this point there is plenty of information to see what preseason projections are coming true – Justin Herbert stepping forward among the elite QBs – and which ones may have been overblown – Kyle Pitts breaking the long-held narrative that rookie TEs don’t excel from the jump.

WEEK 4 ADENTRO Y AFUERA, IT’S ALMOST LIKE A NOVELA

The NFL and those who cover it like to create a fair amount of drama to the level of a classic boxing match. Remember when those used to be such a big deal that an event would be created in the middle of the week? Maybe not, because that was back in the 1970s when Muhammad Ali had his share of great bouts, and then Sugar Ray Leonard and others would have their own battles in the ’80s. Promoters eventually wised up and scheduled those fights on the weekend, with MMA taking it to new heights in modern times.

WEEK 4 LOS PEEKUPS, RELAX, DON’T DO IT

At the risk of making myself look ancient in the fantasy football space, I graduated high school in the ’80s. 1985 to be exact, and I’m a proud graduate of Alemany High School here in the San Fernando Valley.

WEEK 3 DFS, FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

This is going to be a different intro. Nothing specific to football, fantasy, Mexican food, culture, childhood or big families. This is about a man who followed his dream until his life got cut short.

WEEK 3 ADENTRO Y AFUERA, IS ANYONE LEFT?

Are there any players healthy enough to start after all the injuries? Hopefully those fantasy managers who drafted Christian McCaffrey have come back from their “I have the worst luck” tirades to see what they can do to salvage the week and the season going forward.

WEEK 3 LOS PEEKUPS & PUROS DESMADRES

Are there going to be any QBs left by the time we get to Week 18? Here’s a list of the walking wounded among the signal callers: Carson Wentz (ankles, plural), Derek Carr (ankle, singular), Tua Tagovailoa (ribs), Tyrod Taylor (hamstring), Ben Roethlisberger (chest), Baker Mayfield (left arm), Andy Dalton (knee).

WEEK 2 ADENTRO Y AFUERA & GETTING BACK INTO THE SWING

Familia, you’ve all known that baseball was my first love. Really, the Dodgers. And that football – and the Rams – came a close second less than 6 months later. That’s why the beginning of football season always feels a little disjointed, because baseball is getting into the pennant race (and next month the playoffs).

LOS PEEKUPS, WEEK 2

First off, a little bit of explaining regarding the title of this weekly feature. When I was growing up, my father (en paz descanse) had a 1972 Ford Truck. It was yellow, sturdy as hell and it was pretty cool to be picked up from baseball practice because I didn’t feel like I had to worry about dirt getting on the floor.
