My choices last week were dismal. A big 0-4 with a push, leaves me with a 5-9 record in the Pros. My college selections were 2-3, which has me 11-8 for 2007. Changes I tell you, are in our future. First a few thoughts on NFL stories in the news.

A popular game among sports bloggers is to rip ESPN. While I’ve had my problems with elements of the world-wide leader, I have given props to the things the network does very well.

At the beginning of Keanu Reeves’ career, I understood what he had to offer, as he was the quintessential stoner dude. He played these teen roles solidly, as he demonstrated in River’s Edge and Permanent Record.

Kicked off the NFL season with 4 wins, 1 loss, and a push. The colleges I won my 2 best bets, but lost my other 3 selections, leaving me 5-4 this year on NCAA choices. I am posting the picks tonight, as I like one Thursday college game. Also, if you didn’t get [...]
There has been an absence of baseball posts here. While the complete meltdown of the Chicago White Sox hasn’t helped, the 2007 season has been pretty anti-climatic since the middle of August. The only divisional race that has any intrigue is in the NL Central, where staying above .500 seems to be all that [...]
Before I began writing this blog, I used to have a couple thousand people that had signed up to read a weekly column I would email to them. These columns eventually formed a book that I put out titled Dysfunctional Thoughts of a 21st Century Man. Below is one of those columns. [...]
