A dirty secret has been a relatively high number of horse fatalities at this track lately.  Though not really a secret just not widely known
I'm neither physically close to that track, or mildly follow horse racing, and I knew

I heard about all the horse deaths a couple of years back, but not since.  If it's been ongoing, someone's been spending some money to keep it out of the spotlight.

RIP John Madden


His personality betrayed his expertise... he was the greatest football mind of all time or at least to this time.

Madden an interesting guy to talk about, in terms of what type of career would he have had, had he stuck around coaching.    Tremendously successful as a young coach.   Incredible legacy in really three different worlds.

Madden was a great announcer because while he had ALL the knowledge to talk your ear off about the play, he knew that would put the audience to sleep.  So the guy with all the knowledge would sprinkle it here and there, but through an entertaining delivery.

Praising Nate Newton's trap block in one breath and tell you he's keeping track of the butt sweat line on the offensive linemen's pants with the next.
