Think about this in terms of how fickle championship seasons are. The Caps played 29 minutes of overtime in a game at Columbus that could have put them down 3 games to none in the first round to the Jackets.

The baseball team for the school I work for nearly had its season shut down in 2017 after about eight players and coaches came down with the mumps. Had about 10 games left in the regular season and we were in the playoff hunt. They (state Dept. of Health) let us play and we ended up making a...

I generally take a dim view of conspiracy theories. I especially detest those surrounding 9/11 and I believe there is an as-yet undiscovered level of hell reserved for Sandy Hook "truthers". But I do have one concerning JFK. I do not believe there is any way Oswald shot Kennedy. What convinced...

Something tells me they've already got a pretty good idea who they want for this job.

I don't keep up with NASCAR too much, but I guess the consensus is going to be that Busch gets an asterisk beside his record, and probably legitimately so.

Oklahoma's 47-game winning streak in college football. That one isn't being surpassed under the present system.

Yeah, that probably has a lot to do with why I think she's fine. I must say, though, Tombstone showed her at her best.

My wife and I had a movie night this past Saturday and we watched Tombstone, which I had never seen in it entirety. I did not know, until the credits rolled, that Charleton Heston had a cameo as the rancher where Wyatt Earp dropped Doc Holiday before riding for the showdown with Johnny Ringo...

To this day, my dad, a diehard Ole Miss fan, blames Johnny Vaught for losing that Halloween game in '58. He says Vaught played too conservative and tried to sit on a 3-0 lead.

Shows what I know about hockey (LOL). Two goals Rinne gave up were about as soft as they come, but the killer was the third goal right at the end of the second period. Preds scored late in the first, and got a couple of real good shots right before Winnipeg scored that third one, and you could...

Based on what I've seen so far in the playoffs, I would agree. I think if the Preds can avoid taking silly penalties, they'll win. But I think it will also be a one-goal game decided in the third period, or even overtime.

Back in the day, it was For What It's Worth (Somethin' happenin' here...) I went to a family reunion about four years ago and the first night, we had a great karaoke guy. He had an outstanding catalog. I did My Generation, my niece did a bang-up job on Walkin' After Midnight and one of the...

Damn, Batman, you have waaaaaaaay too much time on your hands.

True dat. Limited amount of video I saw of Davenport, he was absolutely dominant. But ... It was highlight videos against Conference USA opposition, and there's probably a reason he ended up at UTSA and not, say, Texas. I just haven't taken the time to dig into it.

Not sure what you mean by this. I loved the Saints' pick, and the fact that they moved up and got a guy they really wanted and really need. A good edge pass rusher is the missing piece in the Saints' defense, and Davenport should complement Cam Jordan nicely. With Brees now at age 39, Saints are...
