2018 NFL SEASON: WEEK 14





The good news is that I picked 10 games correctly.

The bad news is that it should’ve been 11… because I forgot to pick the 49ers-Seahawks game. I would've picked the Seahawks

Well, would've-could've-should've, but didn't

As per our rules, that will go down as a loss

A very unnecessary loss, I must add.

I'll shut up now, and take my L

2018 NFL SEASON: WEEK 9





Before I get to my weekly picks, I cannot stress enough to vote this coming Tuesday.

I am not exactly a fan of this current administration nor his enablers in Congress and I’m not the only one who feels that way.

There are a lot of talks about the checks and balances that occur within the three branches of government but there is one that is commonly overlooked.

Our votes

Don’t just focus on the races at the national level or the top of the ballot, but also those races in your state as well. I care about what happens on Capitol Hill but what happens at the intersection of Colfax and Lincoln matter just as much if not more. And that is true in every other state capitol.

2018 NFL SEASON: WEEK 8




Ms. Roberts finished one game better than I because the Eagles blew a 17-0 lead at home to Panthers

However, she missed a perfect week due to Cowboys kicker Brett Maher’s 52-yard field goal that hit the left upright that would have sent the game to overtime.

So, she was not the only one who was upset by the Cowboys strategy at the end of the game.

2018 NFL SEASON: WEEK 6




First, a congratulations to Ms. Roberts on the Houston Texans winning the Battle of Texas last Sunday night.

And a second to her hometown Astros for reaching yet another ALCS in the MLB playoffs in their efforts to repeat as World Series champions.

And a third for regaining the overall lead on me again

Even though it is by one game.

WHAT IS AT STAKE



It is now inside 300 days from the 2018 election and less than 34 months until the 2020 election.

Whenever there is a national election, it is said that this the most important election ever.

That is how I feel about these next two national elections.
