A 3-0 Thanksgiving has me dreaming of a perfect 16-0 (another of my football “bucket list” items). Here goes:
Denver +7.5 over NY Jets – The Jets are coming off road wins in New England and Tennessee, you think they might have a bit of a letdown? The Broncos keep this close and possibly [...]
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for a couple of reasons – 1. I love the Turkey dinner complete with stuffing and mashed potatoes. I mean think about it, name another time during the year that you have turkey dinner. And you have the leftovers that last the weekend. 2. Thanksgiving is the beginning of the [...]
Talk about a steel-toed kick to the nuts – 3-13 last week! “The Man” humbled me last week and now forget talk about 50 games over .500, I would be happy to be over .500 period.
I started the week off right with the Steelers and traditionally I have been very good the week before Thanksgiving. [...]
The quest for “50 games over .500″ is in serious jeopardy right now, I need to hit 11 of the remaining 15 games this week.
This week – 0-1 (for those counting at home two consecutive Thursday night losses)
Atlanta -6.5 over Denver – Romeo Crennel isn’t walking through that door! A decent NFL coaching staff [...]
My sabbatical weekend went as expected, I feel completely refreshed and ready to roll for the remainder of the season. But first I want to recap the football-less weekend with a running log:
Friday, 8PM – I give my five fantasy teams a once over, trying to find some reason to be optimistic about my [...]
Fresh off my sabbatical and my worst picks week of the year, I am ready to continue my “quest for 50″. I have to average 11 wins the rest of the way. Tall order but I’m up for it, starting with the Thursday night game.
New England -3 over NY Jets
– The Jets have the look [...]
Each year I am forced to take one weekend completely off from football due to the draining nature of the sport. This weekend I am taking the much needed sabbatical, therefore the will be no power rankings this week and only quick picks simply to “go on the record”. Why this weekend? [...]
Cleveland -3 over Denver – Denver is a shell of their week 1 self. And the Browns finally decided to bench Derek Anderson, since it is obvious that the spin on Anderson ball has caused Braylon Edwards to lead the league in drops. And the 900 LB women in Cleveland are going crazy [...]
I finished up 8-5-1, losing three of four late games and the Monday night game. I mentioned last week that I felt I was about to enter “the zone” (a place where you can do no wrong).
I went into the late games 7-1-1, clearly ready for the 11-2-1 week I predicted. Then only [...]
In 1995, I started a list of football related achievements that I want to accomplish before I am too old to care or I lose interest in football (yea, like that is going to happen). Call it my football “bucket list”. Here are some of the items on list:
Finish a fantasy football season [...]
