Why does all the major news break when I'm busy? On Monday, I wrote a column about how there wasn't any point in saying USC should fire Clay Helton because he was already fired. It was only a question of when it would happen. Shortly after it was published, I sat down to record the Cover 3 Podcast with my co-hosts, and on the show, we talked about how Helton would be fired eventually.
Then, after the show, I took off my headphones, looked at the clock and thought late afternoon would be a great time to get my workout in. I mean, what news was going to break late on a Monday afternoon?

Flash forward an hour later, when I'm finishing my workout, I see roughly 100 notifications on my phone about Clay Helton being fired. Sure enough, right after I'd spent hours writing and talking about it, and just after this newsletter was sent to your inbox, USC announced the decision we all knew was coming.
Who knows what will happen today when I'm on the bike and this newsletter is being pushed to your inbox? Anything is possible when I step away from the computer for a bit. But stepping away from the computer is the last thing you should do. Instead, read these stories and then join me for some baseball bets.
It turns out the MLB season is still going, so we might as well bet on it.
