NFL Championship Weekend is finally upon us – or as Teddy Bruschi calls it: free hat and t-shirt weekend. The games today are the final stop on the road to NOLA. Both offer intriguing matchups and make for a Sunday Funday. 49ers at Falcons The NFC is a chalk matchup where the top 2 seeds…
In a crazy sports week, there’s been so much to talk about! I wanted to take a minute to get on my soapbox about the way we look at athletes. Growing up, my husband (and many other people) wanted to ‘Be Like Mike.’ Personally, I’m glad he’s not a womanizer with a gambling problem. That’s…
What a great NFL weekend it was! As a fan, I loved the games and was very entertained. Although I went 1-3 in my blog picks, my wallet is happy because I got my 4-team parlay right in Vegas! The Patriots game is the only one I was super confident in, so spreading out my…
Another weekend means it’s time for more NFL football. This may be my favorite weekend of the playoffs with 2 days of big-ticket doubleheaders.

As Rivalry week begins, I starting to wonder if the only way the Spartans avoid a loss on Saturday is if the bus gets lost on the way to Ann Arbor. I’m not sure I’ve even been so disgusted with my alma mater in my lifetime. Yes, as a lifelong fan, I’ve endured some ugly…
I know that focus has turned from last week’s loss to preparing for Indiana in 2 days, but I had to take some time to gain perspective before writing this post. I spent Saturday night and most of Sunday so angry that I couldn’t even fathom writing something appropriate for my blog. Then, I had…
