2020 NFC Divisional Round Playoff Predictions!

Man, how sweet are the graphics Randy’s been cooking up lately? You should just stop reading the column now and scroll back up to bask in their glory. Appreciating the Star Wars graphics is an apt way to start the blog as last week, while I went 1-1 in my picks, I totally whiffed on my Star Wars analogy. Here I thought Titans coach Mike Vrabel was young Anakin to Belichick’s older and wiser Kenobi–the implication being that the young Padawan would eventually be chopped to pieces on Mustafar. I should’ve known that it was more like Vrabel being…

Big Brother for the Win

My pick for the Super Bowl is based solely on personal experience. When it comes to pick-up games of basketball, soccer, football, baseball, wall ball, knee football, sharks and minoes, freedom, sardines, lacrosse, 500, king of the hill, rumble fumble, sledding, water balloon fights, back yard wrestling, and of course, half marathons, my big brother–the wolfman–has always held sway over his younger counter part. Therefore, my Super Bowl pick reasoning goes like this: John Harbaugh is older than Jim Harbaugh. Therefore, my pick for the Super Bowl winner is: The Ravens, 24-20. Enjoy!

Delaware Park Parlay Card Part Trois

1.) Aren’t we all lucky to have the regular refs back in our lives?  They did not miss a single call last weekend and I for one am glad that they did not stay locked out for longer.  Yeeeesh. Of course that is sarcasm, and even though I thought that the replacement refs were terrible, it turns out that the regular refs are just as terrible. It was, however, very nice to see the Broncos get screwed over on a ‘Tuck Rule’ non call. So that made me happy. It was those same Broncos, mind you, that kept me…

Take…Take me Home

1.) I put that song “Home” by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony on a mixtape that I made recently and I have to say, I do not regret the decision one bit.  Holy cow, what an underrated song.  It has an abundance of unintentional comedy. I mean, it’s a Bone Thugs-N-Harmony song with freakin’ Phil Collins for crying out loud. According to Wikipedia, the group got so much positive feedback from the song (in the U.K., not the U.S.) that they decided to name Phil Collins an honorary member of the group with the moniker “Chrome Bone.” Gangsta. Now, with all that…

I’m Sick of Hearing About Tony Romo…. Already…

Sometimes, I like to think of a story as a meal. You want to start the readers off with something wonderful to drink, enchant them with some light appetizers, and then make your point with the meat and potatoes. Every once in a while, I’ll end the meal with some sweet desserts. Today…. we’re going to start with steak the cook dropped on the floor in the back. Tony Romo is getting so much praise for a mediocre performance, it’s making my stomach turn. This is the problem with national exposure, I suppose. They need something to discuss and…
