Previewing The Divisional Round
It’s hard to genuinely feel happy for an opponent. It’s not in our nature, especially as Americans. If I could summarize our nation’s ethos in one word, it would be: winning. General George Patton said as much in a speech to the Third Army in 1944. “Americans love...
Previewing Super Wild Card Weekend
Well, here we are. After 18 weeks, the NFL regular season roller-coaster has ended and we’re left with a select few teams that didn’t lose their lunch during the ups, downs and loops. It’s always fun to go back to before it started and see how my predictions fared. ...
2023 NFL: Previewing Week 17
Other than a brief layoff at the airport decades ago, I’ve never stepped foot in Cleveland. And yet, I’ve always felt a kinship with the city and its sports teams. Maybe it’s because I’m a sucker for underdog stories and between the Guardians, Cavaliers and Browns,...

All of us have searched for jobs. It’s a frustrating process. You have to get a resume together, send in applications and then hurry up and wait. And wait. And wait. Maybe you’ll get a call back. And if you do, the really annoying dance begins, where you have to put...
2023 NFL: Previewing Week 12
I thought he was supposed to be gone. Tom Brady retired at the end of last season, but he hasn’t disappeared. He’s been seen at stadiums this season, hobnobbing with people and showing his face for the fans. For the most part, it’s been a good time. As much as he...
