NFL GAMES OF THE WEEK – WEEK EIGHT

25Oct12

Hey, I was three for three last week.  Whoo-hoo!  If I can get the Upset of the Week right this week, I’ll be back to .500 or better in all three categories.  It’s almost beginning to sound like I know what I’m talking about. I said ‘almost’!  And keep those comments to yourself, will ya’? […]

WORLD SERIES 2012 – WE’VE COME FULL CIRCLE

Most early projections did not pan out […]

NFL GAMES OF THE WEEK – WEEK SEVEN

THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEKEND (from watching sports) – WEEK FIVE

13Oct12

This week, the title should actually include the entire week, rather than just the weekend.  Read on to find out why. 1)      It’s not safe to be in the AP top ten this season! Every week we see at least one or two top ten teams get knocked off their perches, and this week was […]

MY WORLD SERIES PREDICTION….SOMEONE WILL WIN!

07Oct12

I know, you’re probably scratching your head, sounding something like Tim the Tool Man Taylor – HUGHHMM?  (If you don’t get that one, ask your father!) Of course someone will win the World Series.  (Okay, technically it will be a team.  Lighten up, will ya’?) The problem is, this has been one of the weirdest […]

THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEKEND (from watching sports) – WEEK FOUR

06Oct12

I almost ran out of time this week, but I couldn’t bear the thought of not sharing my life lessons this week.  So here they are. 1)      Okay, I was wrong about the whole ‘Genius’ thing! Three weeks ago, I declared Rex Ryan to be a genius, since he obviously had the world fooled (see […]
