My son Oliver is seven years old and the apple did not fall far from the tree. He has made occasional appearances in our NFL roundtables but his latest obsession is Premier League soccer. When I couldn’t name more than half the teams, Oliver made me a list. From memory.
Anyway, he was bemoaning the lack of Premier League coverage on Draft Day Suit (everyone’s a critic) and asked if he could have his own regular column. We decided to try video and talk about two big Sunday matches.
We recorded this on Saturday. Oliver’s predictions were pretty good. One spot on (Chelsea defeated Arsenal 2-1), and the second match was a draw (Tottenham vs Manchester United 1-1).

ClumberKim is a sports geek. The die was cast early, by age 8, when Kim told anyone who would listen that she wanted to be the Boston Bruins statistician when she grew up. She could rattle off the roster by number, position, or hometown. Her sports interests are diverse, ranging from figure skating to football. She loves to watch golf, read books about golf, and trash talk golf, but she has never swung a club. The Fantasia Gardens course at Disney World doesn't count. Her participation in sports is limited to tennis in high school, rugby in college (where she excelled in the third half), and pitching endlessly to her baseball-loving son.

No, really, Oliver is a natural. More please!
Oliver knows about 10 times more about Premier League than I do.
Good job Oliver!
Yinz are kind. He’s already looking at the schedule for this weekend.
