Last weekend was the first snowfall and now we are seeing the second as I write this. I wonder if this is becoming a thing.
Today I’m thinking about the difference between your head and your heart. That’s as it relates to rooting and gambling anyway. I always have a tough time with making a difference. I think that usually comes into play with the NCAA tournament. But today the Super Bowl is making me think about it.
With me not really rooting for or against either team, I’m not sure where I am. Both teams have Super Bowls, but aren’t dynasties, so it’s not like you can say you see one win too much. And then there’s the Brady v. Mahomes aspect (I hate making it just the QBs but that’s how it’s referred to)… do you root for the GOAT or the future GOAT type of thing? So many ways to go with it.
I think the only thing for me is to hope that the game will be entertaining in some way. I can’t even say what that will be. Maybe it’s a big comeback, maybe it’s just exciting plays, not sure.
I’m trying to get my daughters and wife into the game with some prop bets. They don’t really watch football so I’m hoping for things like the length of the National Anthem or the halftime show or something like that. Maybe those things will make things interesting for all of us.
Who do you have in the Super Bowl?
The Review
Here’s what happened on the blog last week:
- Monday: Broderick Perkins
- Tuesday: John Olerud, Braylon Edwards
- Wednesday: Chris Volstad
- Thursday: Bubba Starling
- Friday: Nick Anderson, January 2021 TTM Report
- Saturday: Jim Eisenreich
- Sunday: Bryce Paup
As someone who likes to check things off a list, it was actually kind of nice and check the oldest returns that I hadn’t posted yet off of my list. We’re in the June/July timeframe with most of these. It was actually a little fun not to be in the same type of theme all week for once. I think I had done mostly themed weeks since around August.
The Preview
Here’s what I have coming up for this week:
- Monday: Oliver me, why not take Oliver me…
- Tuesday: The Wright stuff…
- Tuesday: POW-ell, like a Batman show…
- Wednesday: You can ring my Bell…
- Thursday: Berry-licious…
- Friday: Bonderman, Jeremy Bonderman…
- Saturday: I Hearn it through the Grapevine…
- Sunday: It takes Tewks to make a thing go right…
Wow, I got a lot of song references coming up. Some of those are really easy to know who they are though so if you are guessing you got a pretty easy week. Others could be a lot of possibilities though.
Other Notes
Another 20 return week is already starting February off well. My backlog is now up to 360 and I could almost have posts for a whole year ready to go. Of course I have to write them up though… they don’t do that themselves.
One thing that happened this week was another mail issue. They took my mail on Saturday but didn’t deliver the mail I was supposed to get. I don’t know if it went to a different house or what happens in those cases. That could have meant for an even bigger week, but maybe that will lead to a huge Monday to start the next week. I’m hoping for the latter at this point.
Have a great week!
