Welcome to this installment of Monday Morning Dumb Fan! You will read/see the musings of a humble fan who loves his sports and even more, loves talking about it. So, take an escape from Covid, from the Middle East and from fires all over the place and relax in the bliss of the escape of sports!
What was good?
Texas Wins! – ahhhh, the college fans came out in droves to declare independence from this virus (for now) and it was in full effect at Longhorns stadium Saturday. This QB looks like the real deal and I am super excited for this season! I definitely had goosebumps watching the kickoff and most of the way through!

Wisconsin “Jump Around” is awesome, let’s be real. – I am not a Badgers fan by any means, and was actually pulling for PSU in a big win, but seeing this tradition back and the excitement from everybody after not being able to do this for 600 and some odd days-ish get back to this was amazing! Check out the video! Shout to Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt, who remain my favorite duo for calling college games by far.

Patrick Cantlay wins the Fed Ex Cup – What a LONG and awesome season for golf! Golf without fans may have been the most strange sport to see without fans and this season was an asbolute breath of fresh air. It feels like Cantlay has been in the lead everywhere for about a month now. While I was pulling for Rahm, Cantlay most definitely deserves this!

What was bad?
Why is nobody talking about Dustin Johnson’s beard? – Oh. My. GAAWWWWD. The entire golfing world was left in shock Thursday morning when they turned on golf and thought they were drunk when they saw Dustin Johnson’s face and realized something just wasn’t right. While he is still hoisting Ms. Gretzky by his side, she is surely having second thoughts, as my favorite golfer obviously drank a fifth of Grey Goose and was pondering life when he broke out the Norelco Wednesday night before the playoff finale. I’m not sure if he thought it would bring good luck, but just no, bro. NO. Some people look a million times better with beards. You’re one of them. Love ya bruh, but come on. Check out this hilarious article that hits the nail right on the head – https://golfdigest.com/story/dustin-johnson-without-beard-tour-championship

Indiana can’t spell – Why am I not surprised? At all? Besides getting their asses handed to them easily, they have also helped further the rumor that Hoosiers are well…just a little behind the rest of the world. Thanks for setting us back even further “name on the jersey sewing guy”. Dang!

What are we looking forward to?
NFL is HERE! – Ahhhhhhh my Cowboys are baaaacccckkk! Not necessarily Super Bowl back, but they are playing football again. News just came down that Zach Martin is out, so that is no bueno, but regardless….. I shall be a kid in a candy store on Thursday evening. Let’s do this! Week 1 ready to gooooooo!
