I’m not sure why the Cleveland Browns pretty much gave up on Baker Mayfield last summer. I don’t know why Carolina put him on waivers earlier this week.
I don’t know this kid. I don’t know if he’s a cancer in the locker room, but the Rams picked him up on Tuesday and the kid won the game for them last night.
He had the playbook for 48 hours and worked out with the Rams one time and he pulled it together and led his new team to victory.
Why did I open up the Morning Chalkboard with this story?
Al Michaels called the game last night. The same Al Michaels that asked us if we believed in miracles in 1980. Last night he screamed, “Is that possible?” as Mayfield threw the winning touchdown. A comeback drive in the last minute and forty five seconds of the game.
It is possible!
Get up every damn morning and move along. Don’t stop, don’t hold your head low…
We all have some kind of shitshow in our lives. Well I’m not going to let a shitshow defeat me. Shitshow's come and go, but I kick the shit off my boots, wash my face and keep on keeping on!
I will never have a final defeat. I will have a last breath someday and when that day comes… I’ll have a few more victories than defeats.
I believe in miracles and everything is possible if you have faith in yourself. We all need to have some Baker Mayfield experiences and we all should make Al Michaels excited.
Happy Birthday Junior Wells. The world always needs more cowbell, but in Chicago we always need more harmonica.
