​The Way It Ought to Be

The Heisman / Fox Sports Live

The race for the Heisman always takes interesting turns over the course of the season to see who wins the award as the best player in college football. I have no problem with the three finalists, Clemson QB Deshaun Watson, Stanford RB Christian McCaffery and the award winner in Alabama RB Derrick Henry. But I do feel that they should invite more finalists and most notably, Navy QB Keenan Reynolds. While Reynolds best statistical season was 2013, his 2015 number were still outstanding and he now holds the career mark for rushing TD's in Division I with 85. While the Heisman is supposed to be for the top player of the year, I think there is room for players for career achievement who have been in the discussion for the award to be on the stage for the ceremony. Reynolds nearly led the Midshipmen to a New Years Six Bowl and what I find most impressive about his career numbers is that Navy is completely focused on running the ball with their triple option offense. Defenses know it and that Reynolds will keep it a lot of the time and he is still almost unstoppable.

In my first blog, I mentioned that I would highlight sports personalities and broadcasts that I like to follow. Today, I want to give props to Fox Sports Live on FS1, which is their nightly competitive offering to ESPN SportsCenter. The main anchor duo of Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole are very humorous and entertaining. They were big in Canada on TSN (one of that nations 24 hour sports nets and ESPN owns a piece of) and have the kind of chemistry that reminds me of the Dan Patrick/Keith Olbermann pairing on ESPN in the 90's. When Fox Sports Live started in 2013, they had a cast of thousands with a third host in Charissa Thompson and a panel of experts, personalities and ex-jocks which made it a bulky operation with no flow. With Jay & Dan featured and more emphasis on the highlights and news, this show is really hitting it's stride and has great energy. If your like me and like finding alternatives to ESPN, this is a good one to put on your list.
