I have pondered the idea of doing a mock NFL draft for a few years now, but there have been some things stopping me. I am by no means an “expert” who pores over tape or scouting reports like a Mel Kiper Jr. or Mike Mayock. I’m not an “insider” with a plethora of contacts… Read More My First Ever NFL Mock Draft (2014)
Welcome to the first edition of W&M in nearly four months!!

It’s been an odd & stressful week in The Manoverse. I’ll spare you the details, but the fact that I am just finally getting around to doing this week’s PPP a few short hours before kickoff tells the story to an extent.

This is going to be short & sweet. I am an odd mix of somewhat busy and extremely unmotivated. Why?? I don’t know exactly, although I believe it has something to do with my diet and the fact that I have fallen completely off the wagon with my weight loss effort. I may enjoy eating… Read More 2013 Pigskin Picks of Profundity…..Week 3

I have been watching a lot of pre-season games A) because that’s just how I roll and B) because the NFL Network may… Read More 2013 NFL Preview & Prognostications
It’s been a weird summer. Temperatures here in West Virginia seemingly hovered in the 70’s much of the past few months and it has rained every other day. The kids started back to school in mid-August so we’ve kind of been in autumn mode already. So be it. Fall means football and football has always… Read More 2013 College Football Pre-Season Top 25
Word on the street is that there is some sort of big football game taking place in New Orleans in a few days. Let’s talk about that. A quick trip back to last fall in the ol’ DeLorean reveals that my NFL prognostications were…as usual…hit & miss. The Good – I predicted… Read More Winning & Musing…..The Super Bowl Edition
Not a lot of stories to cover today, but alot to say about the few big stories that there are….. What a long strange trip it has been for Lance Armstrong.
