Aside from the unnecessary (though not improper) use of "literally", his writing is getting better.  There is not a whole lot of news in there for people who follow the program closely, but still I learned a nugget or two.

Tijuan Thomas was our nickel (it would have been nice to know who was starting opposite Alexander in our base defense, as Harris is hurt), and McCaffrey is stronger.

Why all the animosity towards Lombardi?  He's a Stanford letterman making his way, enjoying life as a young man in San Francisco, and has landed a job with ESPN.  Moving up in his profession.  Is this another arcane Cardboard thing where we hate anyone who worked in/for an unapproved place?  I don't get it.
