If we were playing an office pool,(which we ARE NOT). The object is to score the most points. To obtain the score YOU rank the teams by how confident you are a team will win its game. EXAMPLE: Say this week we have 17 games. The team you are most confident will win you would assign the number 17 and follow down to the team you are least confident in and assign that number 1. We use the Monday night game as a TIE BREAKER. The tie is broke by the closest to the total (that is the COMBINED score of the two participating tams) final score, without going over. If we were playing this is how my sheet would look; My pick will be in bold Capital letters. you can use circling, underlining, or highlighting. I will show my correct points in Bold I will fill in my picks Thursday. Until then feel free to: Just copy and paste for your own Fun Pool Use. Or to see if you can beat me.

NFL Play Offs Week Three
I know there will be those of you who disagree with me. That is ok. This blog is for my opinion. So you are allowed to have your opinions, too. Feel free to comment. If you agree or disagree with me. It just is my opinion there is only one team which earned there way to the “FINAL FOUR’ That team is San Francisco. I am not nor have I ever been a San Francisco fan. (Even though I and they share something in common). And no it is not California. The other teams seem to have “lucked” their way in. The only near competitor I see to San Francisco is New England. No I am not a New England fan. I don’t even know anyone who is. So I guess I am saying WHAT THE HECK are Baltimore, and Atlanta doing there. A little SKILL and a lot of LUCK. So we now are looking at will LUCK, a MIRACLE cohesion of Baltimore or Atlanta. Or will a complete break down of San Francisco, and/or New England Put Atlanta and/or Baltimore into the Super Bowl. One thing I think would be GREAT is an all HARBAUGH “SUPER BOWL”. That being said let’s get to my picks. [table]GAME, CONFIDENCE,RUNNING SCORE SUNDAY 01-20-2013 3:00 pm (Your Local Fox Network Station) SAN FRANCISCO 28 @ Atlanta 24 2 (HIT 2),2,2 SUNDAY 01-20-2013 6:30 (Your Local CBS Network Station) Baltimore 28 @ NEW ENGLAND 13 1(miss 1),0,2 [/table] Final Score; 44 FINAL SCORE: 41 Only off by a field goal. not bad. Good Luck Everyone. Regardless (If you are like me and your favorite team has been eliminated), Let’s hope for two well played games, and no run-aways. Let’s enjoy the day. I UNDERSTAND THE SAN FRANCISCO COMEBACK WAS THE LARGEST COMEBACK IN PLAYOFF HISTORY. I believe it was said previous biggest comeback was from 13 down. And San Francisco’s comeback was 17. Good job. San Francisco @ Atlanta. Surprised me. It was a good game from start to finish. Probably the best officiated game of the season. Atlanta started strong. I must give the FANS credit for being behind their home team, They helped the players a lot. I could not believe this was the same team that had appeared to luck their way into the play offs. But In retrospect I suppose if you luck your way as consistently as the Falcons did, They had to have something else going for them too. And it just seemed they finally came together today and had they had the previous show of luck they probably would have won. Good Job Atlanta. GOOD LUCK TO SAN FRANCISCO IN THE SUPER BOWL! Ravens got their act together tonight. They out played the Patriots.thus setting up the hoped for face of brothers JOHN and JIM HARBAUGH. Big Brother (by what 15 months) JOHN and little brother JIM. Could prove to be interesting. Side note JOHN and JIM’s brother-in-law Tom Crean is having a very successful year coaching INDIANA UNIVERSITY’S Basketball team. We know a Harbaugh will have a Super Bowl win. Can brother-in-law Crean come in with a NCAA championship. What a family meeting that would be One brother showing off his Super Bowl Ring, Brother-in-law Crean showing off his NCAA Trophy, and one Harbaugh saying I TRIED. Beat of Luck to both San Francisco, and Baltimore. Next week I believe is the Pro-Bowl. I never watch that game. Have no interest in it so you won’t see anything here about it. But I will be back for the Super Bowl Views: 92
College Football Hall of Fame
The National Football Foundation has decided to move the College Football Hall of Fame from South Bend Indiana to Atlanta Georgia. South Bend Indiana. Home of Notre Dame. Can any school match the football tradition held by Notre Dame. Their heritage dates back to 1887. The actual name of the town where they are located is named NOTRE DAME. Bet most of you didn’t know that. A little history and facts about Notre Dame football. Did you know that Notre Dame has a winning percentage of .723. An all time record of 899 wins, 301 losses, and 42 ties. Their postseason record is 14-15. With 11 National Titles, 7 Heisman winners, 96 All Americans. Notre Dame may actually have 13 National Titles, as the 1938 and 1953 are in question, Notre Dame only claims the 11 that are not in doubt. Their record includes 7 undefeated seasons, and 4 single loss seasons. As for the 122 year history (No team in 1890 and 1891), Notre Dame has 103 winning seasons, and only 13 losing seasons. With 48 players and coaches in the Hall of Fame. The BCS even has a “NOTRE DAME” rule. Speaking of Bowl games Notre Dame is in another one this year looking to make them 15-15 in bowl games. Who can ever forget the Knute Rockne speech “…win one for the gipper….” Why would you want to move the College Hall of Fame from such a tradition laden area. Surprise “MONEY” that’s all it could be. I don’t know as a fact. But I figure Atlanta made it monetarily well worth the move. Oh well why fight it MONEY really does talk and those without it walk. That Is How I See It. Views: 134
