I Hope The Hammers Are < $1400
Sometimes the government spends too much. Sometimes the government overbuys. In the latter case, maybe you can acquire them at auction.
Enduring Depression
I have some familiarity with depression. When I talk about depression, I don’t mean extreme sadness. I mean, it’s a cousin of sadness, but it’s not a matter of degree. It’s more like a hope deficiency, a corresponding lack of motivation, and an undercurrent of …
NFL Predictions 2019: Week 8
I suppose I finally had some success last week. I was 11-3 picking winners (65-40-1 overall). I was okay missing on the Colts beating the Texans. I had the road upset 28-20 and they lost 30-23. I thought the Giants would win 24-19 at home, …
NFL Predictions 2019: Week 7
It felt as if I did a lot better last week, probably because the late Sunday games were an absolute disaster. I started out 6-2 picking winners, but lost four of the five including SNF. Too many bad beats to cover although it really stung …
NFL Predictions 2019: Week 6
The NFL is crazy and unpredictable. That’s why I don’t gamble. Insert laughing emoji here. I was 10-5 picking winners (46-31-1 overall) and that’s cool with me. Double digits is where I strive to be weekly and as the bye weeks approach it can be …
NFL Predictions 2019: Week 5
It’s hard to lose. Even worse, it’s hard to lose at things I’ve historically been really good at. The over/under is always my strength and 3-12 (26-36-1 overall) is the worst week I’ve ever had by far. It’s horrific. I was 7-8 against the spread …
NFL Predictions 2019: Week 4
I thought I did pretty well assessing the games last week. I was 11-5 picking winners (30-17-1 overall) and I am happy with that, especially this early in the season. Somehow I mucked up my pretend bets though. I was 5-10-1 against the spread (19-28-1 …
NFL Predictions 2019: Week 3
Year after year I wonder if I should quit doing this, if I’ve still “got it”. It’s usually during these early weeks I feel that way. I have to remind myself that it’s okay to blow a few picks. I really thought the Panthers could …
NFL Predictions 2019: Week 2
Surprises are expected in the first week and it felt as if I got crushed a lot worse than I did. I was 11-4-1 straight up, 7-9 against the spread and 7-9 on the over/under. It’s not ideal to start -4 against Vegas (14-18) but …
NFL Predictions 2019: Week 1
Remember when I used to post my picks here? Of course you do, everyone does. Well, all the people in my imagination remember. Everyone who attended Trump’s inauguration used to read my picks weekly, believe me. Green Bay @ Chicago: The NFL celebrates 100 years …
