The Army-Navy Game never disappoints. That’s what two of us told the other as three old friends from Big Rapids, Mi., gathered for the 119th Army-Navy Game Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Just a quick post for tonight. Saturday Oklahoma QB Kyler Murrary won the 2018 Heisman Trophy, but of course we instantly turn to the 2019 odds.

Kelvin Hopkins and Daniel Jones stood out as an odd couple at clinics five summers ago. That observation, though, applied only if viewing the NFL as the end-all-to-be-all for two college-bound high school kids from Charlotte, N.C. Jones has developed into a 6-foot-5 prototype drop-back passer at Duke. He has been projected as high as …
