I was listening to the Score's new midday show on the way in from the gym and Patrick Mannelly, who you can hear with Matt Spiegel from 9 to 1, was making a really. instructive. point about knee placement. Knee placement! Not knee REplacement, or members of Knee Replacement, but how the angles of your joints can affect your entire burst at the snap. These are the things you don't even think about, let alone talk about, unless there's someone who has been on the field and on the sidelines as much as Patrick has. I mean, stuff like this -- or even just about shoulders, it can be with shoulders, too -- this is football crack. This is football porn. If Matt Bowen is like going to football school, then Patrick Mannelly is like going to football graduate school. And Dan Durkin, even! It's, it's just so...refreshing that we're digesting Bears games and finally after all these years we're not talking about DAAAAAH WE GAHHTA BE MORE BLUE-COLLAR. Just the other day, someone came up to me at the gym and said "I really liked what you were saying about pivot points yesterday" and I said "well, and I thank you for that, but I didn't mention pivot points." That was Patrick who brought up pivot points. And that's when I think it really resonated with me that we've left a lot of these atavistic football perspectives where they belong, in the past. Not in 2014. Not on these airwaves. You've got the Score.
