Let’s Talk About Rittenhouse

by | Nov 27, 2021 | Life

Let’s go ahead and address the Rittenhouse trial. I don’t think most people have enough information to reach the conclusions they have reached. For one, most don’t have the correct context. When George Floyd was killed in Minnesota, the movement called Black Lives...

College Football Week 13 Picks – Who Ya Got?

by | Nov 25, 2021 | Sports

Those of us who love college football have a big letdown every year. Teams play 12 games in 13 weeks. That is a total of 3 months. Yes, conference title and bowl games cover another 5 weeks or so, but week 13 is the last week of a full schedule of games. Then, after...

Another Thanksgiving Day is upon us, bringing with it abundant amounts of food as well as football. We have a muted but traditional meal happening in my home, since it’s just 2 of us. There will be turkey sandwiches consumed throughout the weekend though. There are a...

As of this writing, we are in week 1,000 of the COVID-19 pandemic. OK, it’s really been 20 months, but seems MUCH longer. You know how every January, or birthday, or anniversary of any type, you always think “Time is flying by!” I disagree with that for 2020 and 2021....

It’s Week Before We Play Our Most Hated Rival Week. A few conference matchups, but lots of paycheck games to give teams a chance to rest their starters after building a 100-point halftime lead and give little brother enough money to fund his athletic department for...

I follow these guys who have a YouTube channel. They are cousins and huge Browns fans. They have the Madden video game and run simulated games on their YT channel each week. They always do the Browns game and do a “game of the week” for the AFC and NFC. Their NFC game...

I have consistently said that time has practically stood still during the COVID plague. But every year, the college football season seems to be over about 15 minutes after it starts. I watch with rolled eyes as the playoff committee dismisses Cincinnati because their...

Biggest news this week is Odell Beckham signed with the Rams and Cam Newton re-signed with the Panthers. I don’t expect a ton of impact. No matter where OBJ goes, and no matter how things develop, he’s going to scream that he’s not getting the ball enough and/or his...

Midseason coach firings are becoming a thing. TCU is the latest, joining Georgia Southern, USC, LSU, and Washington State. Clay Helton, fired at USC, has taken the Georgia Southern job. Probably won’t see any more of this in the SEC, where 9 schools will start the...

It’s rainy and quite chilly in Charlotte, and I’m one of those weirdos that doesn’t hate rainy weather. Of course the arthritis is barking very loudly, but I’m still relishing the absence of searing summer heat. Stupid &%@#^*$ global warming. More big names are on...
