The Hlog

Hlog returns from summer vacation

Summer is over.

OK, it was 102 degrees when I landed in the St. Louis airport Sunday afternoon, winging my way home from a vacation. And it wasn't much chillier at The Eastern Iowa Airport a little later in the day.

But I came home, flipped on the TV, and there was an NFL exhibition game. Rookie tight end Scott Chandler of Iowa made at least two nice plays for the San Diego Chargers. And, he apparently made one bad one on the interception that pretty much doomed the Chargers in their loss to Seattle.

I heard John Madden say Chandler was a wide receiver in college, which was true, but he didn't say Chandler was a tight end for a couple years after playing wide receiver. Details.

Meanwhile, none other than former Coe College running back Fred Jackson ran for a tackle-breaking17-yard touchdown and had 67 total yards for the Buffalo Bills this weekend. If Jackson makes the Bills' roster this year, what a story it would be for him and Coe. The Bills have a big-time rookie RB in Marshawn Lynch, but there are reasons Jackson was on Buffalo's practice squad last season. The Bills see something in the ex-Kohawk.

Oh, congratulations to Tiger Woods on winning the PGA Championship. The Hlog knew you could win a major tourney, Tiger. Maybe you'll win again someday.
