There’s a reason base cards are called base cards. Back in the junk wax’s era, all you had were inserts and base cards. No autos, no jersey cards, no numbers cards, no SSP cards. Just your everyday cards. Cards that now aren’t worth very much in money, but to some, they are wroth memories of your childhood. In the 90’s, you collected the players and teams you wanted, and traded any of the cards you didn’t want for cards that caught your eyes. That’s what it was about. As adults, some of us had a childhood PC wroth some money, others just base cards, and memories.

A couple of years ago, I thought about getting rid of a lot of my base cards, and only keeping my good cards. However, I stopped myself. I thought about myself in 10 years, and finding my back cards put up, and getting them down to relive my childhood of card collecting. I did get rid of some cards, but I kept most of my base cards, like Tom Brady, Derrick Henry, Alabama, Titans, and Elvis Presley. While I might not be a true base card collector, I kept these cards because to me, they are wroth more then money can buy.

My Point? Base cards are more than the piece of cardboard that we make them out to be. They hold memories, and remind us of a simpler time, and are the foundation of our collection. So, instead of throwing them out, let’s put them in a binder, and get them up until our kids ask us about our card collection growing up. And if you don’t want them after that, give them to your kids, and let them have the memories that you had. And if you have too many base cards from opening boxes, give them to some kids, and keep the memories alive!

My record is 4-3, but I will be 5-3 after this week. I’m in second place, my team has been doing well the past few weeks. I have a great team, but I lost a lot of my good players to injuries. I’m in second place, and got 139 points this week. Next week, I play the guy in first place.

I went from chewing my nails, to screaming all way to the end zone! https://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=46643039&type=forYou&subType=verts&entity=NCAA+Football&entityIcon=https%3A//a.espncdn.com/redesign/assets/img/icons/ESPN-icon-football-college.png

You might thing this is an overstatement, but the facts line up. Bill Belichick is considered to be one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time, and rightly so. He coached the Patriots to six Super Bowl wins in 20 years. He coached a six round pick to become the greatest NFL QB of all time. Bills has had a great career, and I’m not trying to discredit him. However, I think he has passed his coaching prime.

Last night, Bill and UNC lost its third straight game, and had a costly fumble inside the end zone. UNC was one of the worst roaster in all of college football. Many saying before the season that he could lead the Tar Hills to a playoff spot, but they are far from that. Now, the same people who said Bill could lead UNC to the playoffs, are now saying that he is not the path to the worst college coach ever. However, Bill’s coaching downfall came long before this, but we were blind to it.

•The last playoff game that Coach Belichick won was back on January 13, 2019. That’s 6 years, almost 7, since his last playoff victory! Since then, the Patriots lost two playoff wins, one a blowout loss to the Bills 47-14.

•He has struggled since Tom Brady left. The Patriots start several QBs since Brady left, Belichick was not able to coach them into a success to take Brady’s place. Mac Jones looked hopeful, but the strange hiring of Matt Patricia almost ruined his development. Now that Jones is having a somewhat successful season in San Francisco, it makes you wonder whether Belichick had lost the ability to develop QBs like he did with Brady 25 years ago.

•When Belichick was fired by the Patriots, 9 teams were looking for a head coach, but only the Falcon interviewed him. All 9 teams pasted, and for good reasons. No team’s regrets passing on him.

It hard to imagine seeing Bill Belichick coach in the NFL again after this coaching disaster. Just like players get wasted, and can no longer play, it can happened to coaches. That’s the case for Bill Belichick. I can’t see Bill coaching for the NFL, or college again. If was ever were to coach, it would be for probably for a high school team, huge blow for one of the greatest coaches of all time. What should Bill do? He should retire, and be grateful for the coaching career he had. Go down to Florida, golf with Brady and Gronk, enjoy watching football. Get a new girlfriend, and maybe travel around the world. Possibilities are endless for him!

What do think about Bill’s future, let me know in the comments.
