2015 Season: Week 1
It’s time for football. Yeah.
Actually I’m a little blah for football. NASCAR season has entered the playoff stage and that’s much more interesting. After attending the final race of the season here in Richmond, I’m psyched for the Chase and not ready for football yet.
However, the air is crisp and cool today. Reminding us that the year is waning and fall is here. So whither or not we’re ready for it, football has begun. So here are my picks for week 1. Continue reading
That Can Endure
It’s been a tough few years in our house, thanks to the ‘great’ Recession. Personally I see nothing great about it. But the struggle and endurance prompted Sir Evil to write this about me. For some reason, I felt the need to share today. I guess maybe someone out there who reads his blog, needs to see it.

The Annual Look Back
The Queen loves the Annual Blog In Review Report. If you’re interested, here it is.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,900 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 32 trips to carry that many people.

2014 Season: Week 8
Well it was an interesting week. I like winning more than I lost too. I finished the week with a 60% win ratio and that raised my season win ratio to 56%. Yeah me.
There were a few games I’m honestly glad I lost.
I like Green Bay, they’re a good team with a great history. How can you not like the team who represents the blue-collar workers of America? But to be honest, I much prefer New Orleans. The years and years of being the underdogs, the fight and fortitude to find success when Naw’leans needed the most. I love that heart. So even though I picked the Packers last week to win. I’m so glad they didn’t!
Then there’s my Skins! Woohoo. Before I expanded my favorites, the only team who had my backing were, and are, Washington. Well I take that back. I always had 2 favorites; the Skins and whoever played against Dallas! So when Monday night came and my Skins were playing in Dallas, I mean really..who thought they were going win? I say we bench RGIII and keep Colt!
So here’s how my week turned out. Continue reading
2014 Season: Week 8
Thursday’s game between San Diego and Denver is already into the 1st quarter, so there’s not a lot of time for analysis. But I think Peyton has this game. There are a couple of games I’m seriously taking a guess with. Baltimore and Cincinnati being one of those. Going with the Bengals there.
Miami and Jacksonville; the battle for Florida. I dunno, the way the Dolphins have been playing this season. I think they’re going to take Tampa Bay.
And I have to admit I’m picking the Eagles out of loyalty to the man-child. He’s a Philly fan so go Eagles!
Here’s the rest of my picks this week. Continue reading
2014 Season: Week 6
What a great week! I made it through with 12 wins. Ok one of those is a Tie; so Cincinnati didn’t lose and I’m counting it as a win. San Diego is on top of their division, so I’m not really surprised I lost that pick. But come on; Oakland did turn it into a pretty good game.
The two surprises of the week for me, Atlanta lost to Chicago at home. Now I know the Bears aren’t a push over, but the Falcons playing at home?! How did they not show up for that game?!
Of my 3 losses, the most surprising was Dallas beating Seattle. Again, at home for the Seahawks? Say what? How did that happen? The way Romo has been playing all year, he suddenly decided to show up and play? Well that’s just not right.
Regardless I had a good week and the result was an 80% win ratio for the week and 54% for the season. Better than last week. So here’s my Week 6 results. Continue reading
2014 Season: Week 6 Picks
We continue football in the twilight zone and the full moon, though it’s waning, is still impacting the tides. So I’m going to forgo my usual analysis and pick from the gut. We’ll see how this works. I’m not giving this a lot of credence with the stressing week, month, how about year! we’ve had.
So here we go.
I think I’m ok with tonight’s pick. Sunday? I dunno; it’s the twilight zone in football! Continue reading
2014 Season: Week 5 Picks
I don’t even know what to say about this week. After the way my past weeks have gone, I’m simply taking guesses here. Maybe the NFL has fallen into the world of the Paranormal, with karma flying from team to team and trying to make things right. Or maybe the moon and stars have lined up to create a world in the Twilight Zone where everything is turned around and upside down.
Whatever the excuse. Here’s my picks for week 5. Continue reading
2014 Season: Week 4 Picks
I’m tired and stressed out; so no game insights tonight.
Here are my picks for Week 4.
I hope I do better than the past two weeks. Another indication of being stressed out beyond belief, can’t think and can’t pick my games very well. Continue reading
