Good Morning! With the Border Country Sports Blog I'm Keith Harrington.
My apologies for not getting the Monday Morning Hot List up yesterday. Sometimes their are circumstances beyond my control and family will always come first. I will leave it that. I am sure in this Covid-19 era you know how quickly things can change on a dime.
Yesterday turned out to be a pretty decent sports day for me. The Knicks blew out San Antonio and my boy RJ Barrett went off. The Giants fired their GM. Georgia beat Alabama for the college football national title......and I strongly dislike the Crimson Tide. Not if I could get the Giants to fire coach Joe Judge my sports fandom would be perfect.
