I hate the kickoff in football, Trump said in the interview aired last week. I think it's so terrible. I think it's so demeaning. I think it hurts the game, it hurts the pageantry. I've told that to Roger Goodell. And I don't think it's any safer. I mean, you still have guys crashing into each other. It's the opposite of what the game the ball is in the air, nobody's moving.
There were some Sunday heroics to talk about, too. Cornerback Jack Jones had the overtime interception to set up the win. Running back De'Von Achane, once again, carried this offense. The defense's goal-line stand in the fourth quarter kept it a tied game. But everyone kept asking the same, nagging question: What was McDaniel thinking with 1:44 left when he chose not to take the lead with a chip-shot field goal? He went for it on fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line.
