The long weekend was extremely entertaining in the sports world with some great football on all levels. Four action packed days that will make it extremely difficult to get up Monday morning. I am sure that I am not the only one to think this. At least, we can look forward to a great Monday [...]
The last couple of weeks I have been on a good streak. This past week, I won one of the Locks and pushed on the other. I was able to win both Upset Specials. I am now a combined 15-4-1 on the Upset Specials. I had my second straight winning week in both levels. This [...]
As Thanksgiving approaches, the person in St. Louis sports whom I would most like to thank is Dave Checketts. While the Blues thus far have been a little bit disappointing, it is not due to lack of effort by the organization as a whole. Checketts reminds Blues fans that his goal is to someday have [...]
Because he continually does it day in and day out, it sometimes is difficult to fully appreciate what Albert does on the field. However, when you consider that he has now won 3 MVPs and has been one of the Top 9 contenders for MVP each of his nine seasons in MLB, you continue to [...]

I took the week off last week in making picks since I was doing a fundraiser for cancer at Oakville High School. I am ready to get back on the horse now though. I essentially had my bye week. I am now ready and refreshed to actually have a Lock of the Week win.

There is a trend in coaching right now that needs to be discussed. The examples of coaches being bullheaded in the game right now seem to be at an all-time high. The latest example occurred this past Sunday when New England Coach Billi Belichick decided to go for it on 4th and 2 on his own 28 [...]
With all that has gone wrong for the Rams, the one consistent feature of the 2009 Rams offense is Steven Jackson and his continual rambling through, over, and around potential defenders!! His rushing statistics of 191 attempts for 915 yards are sensational especially when one considers that he is the only legitimate threat for whom [...]
While the Rams certainly played well at times yesterday against the Saints, the result was still another loss. Steven Jackson tried his best to will the team to victory, and Donnie Avery and Brandon Gibson showed flashes of being able to upgrade the weak WR position, but when it came to crunch time on the [...]
