Well, many of you said we didn't know what we were doing. Many doubted that we could make money. To that I say this: ONLY I PROVED YOU RIGHT!! Everyone else is showing a profit as we head into the playoffs! Excellent work, my friends! There is a reason I

Subtle, huh? The NBA tells me that Mia, Cle, SA and LAC are playing-but not against each other. I say expand the basketball court by 4X, put 4 teams on the court, put nets at each corner and throw 2 basketballs onto the court. HAVE AT IT FELLAS! The NHL menu

We have our two winners! Of course, like an idiot who has been writing "Don't forget to put your picks in!" every week, what do you think I did? Yup, I forgot to put my picks in. It wouldn't have mattered, of course, as I was too far off the pace.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers - January 5, 2016February 2, 2017

Late last night, 3 teams officially filed for relocation to Los Angeles: The Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and St. Louis Rams. All 3 have ties to LA, (some more than others), as they have played at least 1 year within the county limits. The lingering idea of moving to

Jeff Fisher, with records of 7-8-1, 7-9, 6-10, and now 7-9 will apparently be back to coach the St. Louis/Los Angeles/San Antonio/London/Kalamazoo/Wall Walla/Cucoumonga Rams next season. To put this into perspective, only two (count them:2!) coaches in NFL history have ever coached a game in a fifth season after starting
