Learning To Swim With 7-Foot-5 Celtic Tacko Fall. Via wbur:
Colby Cahill is the aquatics director at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston’s Charlestown Club. She teaches kids at the club how to swim.
“We have them do bobs,” she says. “We try to teach them how to float.”
Colby says her students typically range in height from about 3 feet to 4 feet, 10 inches.
But a few weeks ago, Colby learned from her boss, Derek Gallagher, that she was getting a new student.
“So Derek actually came up to me, and he was like, ‘We have a Celtics player who wants to come in.’ And, at first, I thought they just wanted to, like, help out with the swim lesson. I didn’t know that they didn’t actually know how to swim until someone told me.
“So, when he came in, I literally looked all the way up. And I was like, ‘Oh, my goodness. How am I gonna do this?’ ”
Colby’s new student wasn’t just any Celtics player. It was rookie Tacko Fall.

Knowing K-State. DallasNews’ Brice Paterik has 5 things to know about Kansas State with a bit about the Wildcats’ quarterback:
Watching Skylar Thompson throw for the last season it was evident why KSU didn’t make a bowl game. This season’s numbers have improved dramatically on the ground and through the air. Thompson has thrown for 500 more yards this season than last and has one more passing touchdown.
As a rusher Thompson has greatly improved at scoring in the red zone. His 10 rushing touchdowns double his last season output and he’s done it on 16 fewer attempts this year. Thompson’s greatest strength is his ability to make smart plays with the ball and not force throws he can’t make. In his career Thompson has never thrown more than four interceptions in a season.
