I've never checked whether the Woj account I was looking at was the real one, more than I did yesterday. What a whirlwind? In a move that surprised no one, the Cleveland Cavaliers overhauled their entire roster in what appears a last ditch effort to remain relevant in the Eastern Conference and make a run...

I shared a story last week of my greatest gambling win of all time but how since that year, I've been under .500 on NFL Playoff Picks. It's been almost 20 years. This year? You guessed it.

Believe, me when I say that I'm not trying to be funny or heap on to the already large pile of grief that the NFL has received for not being as compelling as in previous years. I'm being serious. I haven't paid attention to the NFL since Week 8. Now... Continue Reading →
Click here for Part 1 If I Needed a Winner in 2017 Gal Gadot I was incredibly skeptical of the Wonder Woman franchise when the character was introduced in "Batman vs. Superman" and that Gadot, a relative unknown at that point, was cast in the part. The stand-alone film in 2017 however far exceeded my... Continue Reading →
As the year comes to a close, we are all faced with the usual plethora of year-end lists compiling everything from "Best TV Shows" to "Best T-Shirt fabrics."
