Last week both Zach & I went 3-2. We both whiffed on Carolina/Baltimore, where our disdain for the Ravens may have clouded our judgment a bit. Conversely we both correctly picked Maryland over Indiana and the Packers over the Bears. Zach was spot on in his assessment of Texas A&M/Arkansas, as the Aggies needed overtime… Read More 2014 Pigskin Picks of Profundity…..Week 6
A semi-regular attempt to address some of life’s minutiae that might otherwise be overlooked….. – There was a recent controversy involving President Obama saluting a marine while holding a coffee cup in his right hand. Not surprisingly idiotic liberals (which is a redundancy) rushed to Obama’s defense like they’d run toward their child if heavy… Read More Points of Ponderation…..Episode 4.14
Friends I have done something this week that was very difficult for a control freak to do. But before I go into that let me mention that last week I went 2-3, which wasn’t a huge shock and an outcome that I am not particularly upset about. I knew that picking against both the Alabama… Read More 2014 Pigskin Picks of Profundity…..Week 5
I am so mad at myself. Sometimes something is so obviously staring one right in the face that we too easily look past it. Such was the case last week.

Better late than never. Simmer down. No worries. Our first game doesn’t kick off until 10pm EST Saturday night. There are few things more frustrating than being right and still losing. However, when I began doing these picks I decided that it would be far too prosaic to just do straight win/lose, that the element… Read More 2014 Pigskin Picks of Profundity…..Week 3
I know that this blog has become very sportscentric lately…again. That always happens during football season and I have apologized on previous occasions. Rest assured that there is other non-sports stuff in the hopper. However, there have been some really interesting things happening in the sports world recently, things that I cannot ignore and must… Read More Winning & Musing…..Volume 2.14
I’m not going to sugarcoat it…last weekend was a brutal start to the season for me. I went 2-4. South Carolina completely let me down. Ohio St. covered the spread (barely) while Florida St. did not. Boise St. got hammered. It wasn’t pretty. Zach fared a little better, going 3-2. Clemson & Navy let him… Read More 2014 Pigskin Picks of Profundity…..Week 2
Allow me to be bluntly honest. Not that I am usually dishonest, but I am rarely blunt. At any rate, I’m not as excited as usual to do this preview. The NFL is becoming harder & harder to watch thanks to that moron Fidel Goodell. I look at professional football suits, including the league office… Read More 2014 NFL Preview & Prognostications
