2018 NFL Week 13
The people mourning the death of old-school football can rise from their fainting couches now. All the youths are safely off their lawns and they can fall away to a restful sleep in the haze created by three yards and a cloud of dust. Just 10 days after the Rams and...
2018 NFL Week 12
It’s Thanksgiving, we should have been safe by now. The Cowboys were 3-5 two weeks ago, and most everyone had written them off. Their offense looked pedestrian at best, remedial at worst and while people were screaming for a coaching change, Jerry Jones continued to...
2018 NFL Week 11
Monday night should be an exciting evening in Los Angeles. The Rams haven’t hosted a game at the Coliseum on a Monday since 1979 and they got here via some freaky circumstances. As we know, the upcoming showdown between the 9-1 Rams and 9-1 Chiefs was supposed to go...

October has become a stressful month for Uncle Sid’s fandom. I should be flying high, because at least the Rams are unbeaten. But, nossir. I’ve got the Dodgers in the NLCS trying to get back to the World Series. And we’ve got the Lakers starting their regular season...
2018 NFL Week 6
I’m happy to say my marriage is still going strong. Watching NFL games with your spouse can be a fun and rewarding experience. You can share a beverage or two, eat something delicious, complain about your fantasy teams and laugh at Eli Manning’s facial expressions....
