TALB will be taking an extended break. Not because I don’t want to do it anymore (again), but because I’m moving to San Antonio, TX. I’ll be departing the Sunshine State this coming Saturday, with my family following a week or so later. Needless to say, writing about football is about #457,389th on my list right now. Though with an over-night stay Saturday night with nothing else to do, you might be assaulted with a Gators-Canes (semi) live blog. Be warned.

I thought it would a silly little April Fools’ Day prank. Talking about baseball’s opening day on a football blog. And not only did I joke around about the Rays’ 1-0 start, I even went so far as to pick the Rays and Cubs in the Series. As I write this, and with 34 games to go, the Rays have the, wait for it, BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL. Yeah, I know right.

And the Rays are 5 and a half games up on the Red Sox for the AL East. End times my friends, the end times are upon us.

We’re introducing a new feature here at TALB, “The Spread”. It’s basically a dumping ground for football news. During the (at this point ever decreasing) off-season it should be the most regular item. While the season is in full swing, not as much. As you can guess, this edition will lead with a story that you may be familiar with. (more…)
