Dan Rather Has Sports Takes
By Tully Corcoran
The newsman Dan Rather has what I would consider to be an underappreciated Twitter account. He may be a famous and distinguished news anchor, but he’s got takes.
One such take is that the Seattle Seahawks are going to the Super Bowl.
A great football day today. Seahawks seem to be coming on. Not predicting it, but they just might be SuperBowl material despite down period.

We don’t get a lot of sports tweets from Rather, who was a radio sportscaster in Huntsville, Texas while he was in college at Sam Houston State, but it’s clear he’s a fan.
Bowl season starts today. Expect Alabama and Ohio State in championship final. But, hey, you never know. #CFB

Like the rest of us, Rather complains about boring NFL games.
LA Rams v Jets yet another dull, poorly played NFL game. Boring. Compounded by too many commercials and promos.

He seems to be a fan of the New York Jets.
Bryce Petty gets QB start for Jets. Watching with interest to see how the ex-Baylor star does. Have a hunch he might be good.

He nailed the Dak Prescott thing.
Silver lining in the Cowboys loss is that rookie QB Dak Prescott was just short of sensational. Look like a future superstar in the making.

And like just about every sports fan on Twitter, he couldn’t resist prognosticating about Charlie Strong’s job.
Watching Oklahoma-Texas game. Longhorn coach Strong's job may be at stake in this one.
