NFL Playoff Predictions
It’s the classic situation where you might find yourself saying, “Stranger things have happened.” And yet as I sit here today the fact of the matter is that as far as NFL playoffs are concerned nothing stranger has ever happened.
The Chargers have been everywhere this season; I mean that in terms of both their play and their travel. They have been on a strange path to say the least, becoming just the first team ever to make the playoffs from a 4-8 record. Becoming the first team ever to overcome a 3 game deficit with 3 games to play. Becoming the first team ever to make the playoffs while a team with 3 more wins than they have stays home (hehehe).
And now the pre-season darling to win it all is right there in contention to, well, win it all.
But will they? I know the answer to that question and so much more in my magical look into the future… Read the rest of this entry »
Fresh brewed?
I’m having a bit of a chatoic morning. Mondays are usually a little busier than most days, hence the expression, “somebody’s got a case of the mondays.”
While I don’t think it’s that bad yet it appears to be well on its way. One of the things the really got under my skin today was a debate about how long coffee can sit on the burner and still be considered “fresh”.
Rather than explaining the circumstances of the debate and clouding your judgment I will ask some simple questions…
1) If you walked up to get a cup of coffee and knew the exact time that coffee had been sitting on the burner, what is the minimum number of minutes you would feel that coffee has been there too long and a new pot is in order?
2) What duration of time sitting on the burner do you feel the freshness and quality of coffee has been compromised?
3) If you are person who adds things like sugar, sweetner, cream or milk does the acceptable time change? If so, how?
4) How long do you think places like starbucks, dunkin donuts, 7/11 and your average gas station keep their coffee out before brewing a new pot?
5) If someone tells you at coffee is “fresh brewed” how long ago do you think the coffee was brewed?
Ok so I realize these questions sound similar in many regards but I really feel that injustice is occuring this morning so please give me your honest opinions and include what kind of coffee drinker you are (i.e. black, sugary, ceamy, social, emrgency, starbucks latte dotte, etc).
Doing it by the book
So I was throwing out some trash and I uncovered the fantasy football magazine that I had paid 8 bucks for this past summer to help prepare me for the FFL season. Just for kicks I thought I would take a look at some of their projections and compare it with how things actually worked out.
ok, ok, so only a nerd would do something like this and only a nerd would enjoy it. So if you’re a nerd, this post is for you… Read the rest of this entry »
Let’s Make Like George Clooney And Solve This Thing
There is extreme chaos in fantasy land and so in an effort keep our inboxes a little less cluttered I have volunteered my site to act as a message board for all commentary regarding the conundrum. I ask that Bruce S please not read this post because we are discussing the possibility of requesting you as an unbiased mediator. If that is the case then you reading the comments could taint your judgment.
