NFL – What we learned, week 3

We’ve gone from bad to average. Last year, there were a ton of awful teams and a few good ones. Now we have a few good, a few awful, and a whole bunch in the middle that appear to be indistinguishable from each other. This makes it very challenging for fan bases. Does...

SEC – What we learned, Week 4

Know your role. If you hung around Nashville last week, you were pretty certain that the rest of the world had missed the memo and Vanderbilt, not ‘Bama, was the undisputed best team in the world. By the time there were 5 minutes left in the first quarter, the record...

The protests have gone off course

My turn to weigh in on the national anthem protests…Let’s go back to what started all this. Collin Kaepernick decided to kneel during the playing of the national anthem before his San Francisco 49ers started a game last year. He said he was protesting the...

SEC Picks Week 4 – Who Ya Got?

Conference play heats up with 10 teams playing league opponents, 3 hosting paycheck games, and one (Misipi) teaming up with a group of archaeologists in search of the school’s football team, which appears to have vanished like the temple of gold in “Indiana Jones...

“It Ain’t My Fault”

Familiar with this line? It was a song originally written in 1964. It became part of the popular vernacular when rapper Silkk the Shocker made it a hip-hop hit in 1998. The song even made it to the country music scene, done by The Brothers Osborne. I bring it up now...

NFL – What We Learned, Week 2

Why top quarterbacks get so much money, if we didn’t know already. There is some pretty rotten QB play going on out there. Everyone loves to hate on my QB, but wouldn’t you much rather have Cam than Blake Bortles, Brian Hoyer, Mike Glennon, Case Keenum, Jared Goff,...

NFL Picks week 3 – Who Ya Got?

After 2 weeks, there is still some degree of overreaction. It is quite possible to start 2-0 and end up in the gutter, and to start 0-2 and end up in the playoffs. But both of these are highly unlikely. Those that are 2-0 are probably very good teams and those that...

SEC – What we learned, Week 3

That sinking feeling when you know you are with a total loser – how else can you describe a college team from the school you went to dropping a game to a severely inferior opponent? The Charlotte 49ers made the greatest claim to “worst team in America” in amazing...

Group Think and Victimhood

This week I saw yet another screed from a severely liberal news outlet put out yet another piece that tells other people what they are thinking – specifically, that the mascot and logo of the Cleveland Indians is 100% racist. I can hardly put into words how thoroughly...

NFL Picks Week 2 – Who Ya Got?

The NFL is a lot harder to pick than college. I only managed to pick 7 games correctly. And of course, one has to guard against the temptation to overreact. You will likely, however, see some overreaction in this week’s picks. I tried. Really.Houston at Cincinnati...
