Hope everyone's having a Merry Christmas. Although it's a holiday, we at the blog don't take a break. (OK, we take a little break. Long enough to eat .... and open presents ... and nap ... and watch some football ... and eat again.) Anyway, I wrote a story about tight end Tommy Trott for today's newspaper. Here's how it starts:
Read the rest here. And follow the blog on Twitter.AUBURN, Ala. — His knee still freshly scarred from knee surgery, Tommy Trott was keenly aware that his football clock was ticking last December when he spoke optimistically to reporters after Auburn tabbed Gene Chizik to be its new head coach.
The tight end knew his future didn’t involve the NFL, so he wanted to enjoy what little time he had left in a football uniform.
“I think I kind of looked at it like my career hadn’t really gone the way I wanted it to,” Trott said. “I kind of looked forward to getting some new coaches, getting some new coaching and see if they could bring anything new else out of me and see if I could become a better football player. …
“We had a lot more fun playing football this year than I’ve had in the past.”

Hey, Andy. Merry Christmas. I hope you have a nice holiday with your family and friends. Thank you for keeping us informed. You have a very comprehensive blog and are a knowledgeable analyst.
Even though I subscribe to over two dozen or more blogs, I consider yours one of the top three I read on a daily basis.
Merry Christmas to you Andy, and thanks for the great work.
Your blog/column is the first one I check out each day.
You found a picture of a pass that Trott actually caught? Its a Festivus miracle.
