Monday Morning Mock Draft: Hey Genius, This Would Have Been Great *LAST* Week!!

OK, so admittedly my timing isn't the best on this one.  Last Monday, as I justifiably celebrated with a few beers with my father and brother at The Harp in romantic Willimantic, CT was St. Patrick's Day.  While I was coming back from those beers, (2-3 Guinness, and yes, I did

Guten Tag, people, and Happy St. Patrick's Day.  This post has nothing to do with Ireland or the Irish.  I've been busy today trying to plan a trip to Puerto Rico, while knowing nothing about the island other than it's in the middle of the Atlantic, is home to DFO's

Good morning people.  I assume it's a good morning for some of you anyway.  Me, I'll still be rolling into Daylight Savings Time, which I hate for depriving me an hour of beautiful sleep, a time when, like Ralph Wiggum, I'm a Viking, or at least unconscious and not having

Greetings to you all, but this week especially to those of us of a certain age, specifically those of us who had our formative years in the '80's.  It was a strange time in America, one where Ronald Reagan had us on the road to the absolutely fantastic, 10/10, no

Monday Morning Mock Drafts: One Hit Wonders

No, we're not doing musical one-hit numbers.  That's Request Line territory, and has probably already done.  Nope, today you're drafting athletic one-hit wonders.  Guys, or gals, who had that one (or no more than a couple) of really good seasons before fading into, as Mike Tyson would say, Bolivia. The reason

As I write this Connecticut is in the midst of one of those storms that started as snow, turned to ice overnight, and is now rain.  My driveway's been plowed, (make friends with your neighbors, people), but the snowbanks on both sides are keeping the rainwater in and pooling, and

Sunday Morning #Content

Good morning, imaginary friends.  It's 10:41 Best Coast time and the clubhouse is empty.  Booooo. Look, living through the end of American democracy as well as what appears to be what is technically called "welp, guess that's about as far as capitalism can take us" is no reason to act all

Wednesday Morning What The F**k Just Happened?

Hey, who else is up and around after 4-5 hours of melatonin-induced sleep, interrupted by various household pets coming in demanding food and to be let out because they are oblivious to what happened last night. I'm typing this up Wednesday morning, (because no matter that we're on the verge of

Not Great Bob! The Dallas Cowboys At The Bye

The Dallas Cowboys staggered into the bye at 3-3.  Their wins came against a physically bad and morally bankrupt Cleveland Browns, a just-plain bad New York Football Giants team, and somehow overcame Mike Tomlin's Voodoo to beat the Steelers of Pittsburgh.  The latter two wins were struggles. The losses came at

I don't remember my maternal Grandmother ever cooking.  She must have, because she raised 5 kids and none of them starved before reaching adulthood.  Of course one of those kids was my aunt and godmother, (and it turns out the one who bought me that Leroy Jordan jersey and turned

Oh good, this shit again. When last seen, the Dallas Cowboys were coming off of a 12-5 record and first place finish in the NFC East, a conference powerful enough to include at least two professional teams.  The Cowboys parlayed that outstanding, and somewhat unexpected, regular season finish into, again, a

Good morning drones.  As you read this I'm probably off on a week's vacation, heading north to Montreal, possibly Quebec, and definitely some breweries in Vermont on the way back. I still have to pack, I'm not sure where my passport is, and at some point I need to solidify what
