I know that the horse that Borel is on isn't that good. But with the horse getting the #3 position and the way he likes to hug the rail, I wouldn't bet against him. There aren't any sure things this year and 30-1 odds for the best jockey that the Derby has right now would be tempting.

Best day of the year!! Stephen Foster. Mint Julips. Sun dresses. Big hats.

Most exciting 2 minutes in sports.

LOVE IT!

Dumb question cuz I should know this, but do you currently live in Chicago or you just from here?

Whichever one it is, you've ever been down to Arlington Park?

Yea expect that 30-1 to disappear real fast. No matter where you go you are gonna get some value, I think it will end up a lot like it was last year with the favorite going off at 7-1 (not sure if that's what it was exactly).

Neither. :D Just loved the Bears since I was a wee youngin many, many moons past.

No, but I've been to several other tracks. Went to the Derby once when I lived in Kentucky.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
