This week's version of "NFL Picks" will be a quick hits version. Last week was 10-6, good enough to keep me firmly entrenched in last place with a 122-85 record. Foregoing a typical introduction, I just urge everybody to remain safe on the roads as severe winter storms hit back...

I need to take a moment and discuss something with everyone. Those who personally know me know how much I love sports, particularly certain areas of them. An example of this is hockey, where I admittedly enjoy the grinders, fights, and physical play. But an event last night went...

Now that Thanksgiving is over and we are nice and bloated, it is time to prepare for Christmas. Given the economy though, it seems fitting that cutbacks be made. Don't buy as much as you normally would for friends and family, and donate what money you saved to a charity or calling...

Starting a story is the hardest part. They say a woman decides in the first five seconds if she will talk to the approaching gentleman or send him crying to his car. I think people reading a piece online feel the same way. If you don't nail the intro, people don't care if the...

Halloween is officially over, which means that the pumpkins have begun rotting on your front porches, the sugar rush that your kids have been riding is turning into a string of inconsolable migraine headaches, and Wal-Mart has had the decorations for Christmas out for, at minimum,...

Before I get to my picks, I thought of some good tips for fans who have a miserable team, need something to do on commercials, or just have trouble focusing on a football game, because as my dad always complained when I was younger, "How do they expect me to watch a whole game...
