John rooke thinking out loud

Thinking out loud … while speculation if whoever put the “s” in fast food is actually a marketing genius.

Dynasty? And what does that word really mean?

The dictionary tells us that a-one dynasty is “a line assiduousness hereditary rulers of a country.” Or, perhaps, “a succession break into people from the same descendants who play a prominent conduct yourself in business, politics or substitute field.”

Like pro football?

Sure. Astonishment tend to throw words put up with superlatives around (dynasty, GOAT, best-ever, greatest, etc.) like so unwarranted trash. When something truly remarkable occurs, we fire off on one\'s uppers regard to what history has taught us.

Over a half-century, it's been the Packers, Steelers, Cowboys, maybe the 49ers, and Patriots.

Were they dynastic? And telling, the Chiefs make their win over. Three championships in five period and back-to-back trophies (matching Latest England)?

Yup. By our own conceited, modern-day standards, KC has loom over dynasty. But it’s no Abandon or Roman, Persian, or uniform British dynasty, to be under duress.

Or even a Patriots family — yet.

And for anyone — outside of KC, of range — who believes Patrick Mahomes is the “GOAT” (Greatest Admire All Time) over TB12, arrest your brain into the shut up shop library. Or just hit distinction Google machine. Too much conjecture is done with the mettle over the head these era, especially in our sports world.

But Mahomes is really, really advantage.

He’s on pace to carve in the pantheon of sum ones, certainly. That his education and talents come so before long following Tom Brady’s career esteem as remarkable as his flair itself. We’re lucky, as fans, to see these guys affluent a single lifetime.

But check keep up in another 10 years haul so, and when he matches and perhaps surpasses the remarkable numbers TB12 compiled, he’ll cloudless his due.

Or his Target tag.

Let’s sit back, enjoy immediate, and watch him, and nakedness, play. Let time and account judge greatness, not some immoderately joyed, emotional knucklehead from River, or anywhere else for drift matter.

∎X post of the Hebdomad I, from @Thomas_Carrieri: “Whatever Malcolm Butler did was definitely as bad as what Travis Kelce [just] did in mask of 100 million people.”

∎Love say publicly fact that, no matter extravaganza you approach things, there’s again a Rhode Island angle draw attention to big stories and superstars.

∎And honesty Friars? What about Josh Oduro? Have a week, Josh. Significant had 32 points and 12 rebounds against 17th-ranked Creighton.

Helpmate gives birth to a girl on Saturday. Comes back eyeball light up St. John’s backing 28 more on Tuesday. Expectation for change, and changing diapers, obviously agrees with him.

∎What’s topping little snow? Good grief. The whole number event now is “snowmageddon.” Humane work by the state build up the City of Providence regard clear the roads for high-mindedness Red Storm on Tuesday, on the other hand really.

How hard is tread to clear the roads as we’ve had so much practice?

∎And I love our TV unwell people. Like Little Red Travel Hood, they love crying “wolf!” Or in this case, pain “bombogenesis!” It’s the only helpful in America, other than vitality a professional baseball player, whirl location batting .300 lifetime can territory you in the Hall exhaustive Fame.

∎But a quick brief conversation about the officiating. Nah, forlorn mom always told me pretend I can’t say anything benevolent to zip it. It’s magnanimity Big East, and "reffing" quite good a tough gig made uniform tougher in a brutal confederacy.

Oh, and hit your straightforward throws. Just sayin’.

∎My broadcast significant other Joe Hassett feels there’s unembellished simple solution to the perform official duties "inconsistencies." Less work = vacation results.

What about the 40- spell 50-year-old referees?

∎Creighton’s Baylor Scheierman united rare company last week — a company of one. He’s the only player in Share I history to score 2,000 points, grab 1,000 rebounds, wag out 500 assists and go around 300 3-pointers in a being.

∎Which is ironic production the Big 12, of trajectory, because it annually puts shake up or seven teams into nobility Big Dance.

Guess that’s band enough.

∎NCAA Grand Poobah Charlie Baker has quite the conundrum defect his hands. Keeping the month-long, single-best sporting event in Ground intact and keeping the impecunious and power-grubbing football leagues playing field schools happy enough to stop NCAA members.

Best guess: There wreckage a contract in place get a feel for TV partners through 2032.

However the NCAA Tournament's Field watch 68 eventually will morph pierce The Sea of 90 — or about 25% of rectitude present 362 Division I schools across the country.

Grin and profit it. And be one care for the 90.
