I’m off to a very bad start this week, missing the Thursday night game and last night’s game. I”m going to make this a really quick post because Christmas exhausted me and I got up at 3:30 in the morning for a reason I would rather not describe (let’s just say I ate too much … Continue reading »

Easy A
Olive Pendergast is an extremely witty high school student who is seemingly so considerate of other people that she throws herself under the bus in order to help some people with confidence and boost some others’ reputations. The way she does this, however, leads to a situation that is much like the one that occurs … Continue reading »
The Fighter
The Fighter is one of those common inspiring sports films, only not really. In fact it’s much more than that. The film is based on the true story of Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg), a boxer who has to overcome, among other things, his family in order to achieve certain goals. David O. Russell directs the … Continue reading »
NFL Power Rankings: Week 16
Okay folks, there’s one Thursday game and one Saturday game this week and I’m going to make my picks quickly for those earlier games at the beginning here instead of at the end of the rankings. I’m taking the Panthers to cover over the Steelers who are favored by 13.5 but the Panthers can’t win … Continue reading »
NFL Picks: Week 15
It’s time to make the picks. I’m actually off to a good start with the Thursday night game because the Chargers, just like I thought, put the smackdown on the 49ers. Maybe this is the start of me turning things around, or maybe it will be just like every other week in the NFL and … Continue reading »
Power Rankings: Week 15
I’m just going to get right into these this week because, if there are actual readers to this blog, you should pretty much know the drill by now. 1. New England Patriots (11-2) – Here’s a shocker. Look, for the 10% of people who flat out do not get sarcasm, that opening statement is about … Continue reading »

The Titans actually covered on Thursday, somehow starting … Continue reading »
Power Rankings: Week 14
Okay, I’m going to make this as quick as I can this week because chronic back pain has left me nearly disabled and exhausted since Monday. I know I wrote my picks on Monday but the back problems have progressively gotten worse throughout the week. (I can’t believe I have a back problem at 23 … Continue reading »
Retrospective NFL Picks: Week 13
So I missed getting my picks column in on Sunday so what I’m doing tonight is writing my picks in retrospect while the Monday Night game is going. For each pick I’ll explain what I thought would happen first, and then I’ll comment on what actually did happen. Also, I thought I’d make comments on … Continue reading »
NFL Power Rankings: Week 13
Another week has passed and there’s a Thursday game tomorrow, so that means it’s time for the power rankings. This week I’ve decided to change it up a little bit. Instead of ranking the teams one by one, I’m going to rank the divisions and make comments on the teams within the divisions. You’ll see … Continue reading »
