I was going to start this blog entry as follows: “Few things irritate me more than bad NFL announcers.” However, given that so many things irritate me, I guess I have to say that bad NFL announcers are just among the things that irritate me. As bad as some NFL announcers are, they are all […]

Well, Super Bowl XLI is in the books and the Bears came up short. It was an uphill battle to begin with and, ultimately, the Bears were unable to do the things they needed to do to win. They were actually very lucky that the score was not much more of a blowout than it […]

Superbowls, like presidential elections, receive so much attention that they are overanalyzed and associated with any number of outcomes that are totally random. In this case, there is the statistic that people actually spend time discussing which uses the Superbowl as a stock market forecaster.

Well, here it is, January 1, 2007, and the first of what I hope to be daily dispatches to my new blog. I was planning to writte about the stupid New Year’s Eve countdown telecasts like I did on my family website last year but I didn’t stay up long enough to watch them. I knew […]
