Week 10 Pick’em

I never make picks. I am so superstitious that I always feel like I'm jinxing whichever team I pick to win. But what can you do? I thought I would step up and see how I fare. Here they are: some have commentary...

Pundit Watch Pt. 3

Now that Ohio is solidly blue, CNN's John King just hypothetically painted the rest of his magic map red and John McCain still can't win. My guess is they will wait an hour or two to officially call this thing....

In a mere couple of hours, I will be heading out of town for the weekend. In my bag are the usuals for any weekend getaway with one additional item: my Patriots jersey. A Vrabel home jersey. It's two sizes too ...

Where are you New England Patriots?

The Pats are not a topic that I like to speak about as of late. My diehard passionate rants have been muted. I love Sundays, but now I wish they had more Monday night games (only one this year) so that I can ha...

In need of some zzz’s

Why do I hate playing the Angels? Could it be because they have been proclaimed the best team in baseball? Nah. It's because this girl has a full time job and staying up until 1:30a.m. hurts when it comes time ...
