January 30, 2023: One Story
My first job when I was 14 years old was working at the Boys and Girls Club; it was a summer job, one where I kept kids off the fire escape, made sure they didn’t fight, and played kickball with … Continued
January 29, 2023: Get Reeled
How did you do on Championship Sunday? The best day of football was, well, a pretty good day I guess, unless you’re a Niners or Bengals fan. The first game was a disappointing blowout, while the 2nd one brought the … Continued
January 28, 2023: Picking Time
OK, let’s continue to talk about these 2 games. Of course I’m looking at these from another angle, and that’s the betting angle. I saw the lines the minute they came out, and have been following closely. I had an … Continued

January 22, 2023: Cutting the Field in Half
