Pretty good week for me. How did you do? Larry Fitzgerald, 31, became the youngest player in NFL history by more than a year to reach the 900-catch plateau, breaking the previous mark of the Houston Texans‘ Andre Johnson, who was 32 when he reached 900. On the next play, Fitzgerald caught pass No. 901. I was talking to a friend Saturday morning, He claims to know little about sports. He told me he had a feeling Washington and San Diego would both win. LOL. Well maybe there is something to Gut instincts after all. 2014 NFL Team Schedule For those of you who do not know how confidence ranking goes, let me explainbu. 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 ssign 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 This year I am making a change in the scoring. YOU can adopt the new scoring or continue to use the old scoring. This year we get a negative score for missed games. We will continue to get a positive score for correct predictions. EXAMPLE: LAST YEAR if you scored 1 pt on the first game and you had 15 pt on the second game you would still have a Positive 1. HOWEVER. this year the same scenario would result with a -14 score. 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 Week 15 Confidence Picks Dec. 11-14-15
OFF THE SUBJECT: RE: BIG 12 Exclusion from the BIG Playoff. YOU did it yourself. You tried a sneaky move. Hoping to increase your chances of advancing to the “FINAL FOUR”. By not declaring a clear champion, (by your own rules), YOU did yourself in. ON the other hand WAS WISCONSIN really that off against OHIO ST. Not to say anything. This is merely MY WONDERINGS. Had the game been closer, or Wisconsin won. Would OHIO ST. have made it to the “FINAL FOUR”? Just wondering. I don’t know. WHAT is up with Oakland? Did they just realize the FOOTBALL season was upon us? 2014 NFL Team Schedule For those of you who do not know how confidence ranking goes, let me explainbu.

NFL Confidence Picks Week 14 Dec 04-07-08,2014
Just another week. A surprisingly good game was the Jaguars win over the Giants. An expected close game but I was a little taken aback by the defeat of the Giants. Wasn’t it the Buccaneers who had 12 men on the field to rob themselves of a FG which would have given them a huge upset of the Bengals ? One standout point was the fact we had 5 games decided by a FG or less. In fact 3 of those games had a 1 point margin. 2014 NFL Team Schedule For those of you who do not know how confidence ranking goes, let me explainbu.

NFL Confidence Week 13 Nov 27-30 Dec. 01, 2014
At long last I had a pretty good week. The Bengals game was one where I was torn between the numbers and what I actually thought. But the numbers said different. But that was only 1 point. Cleveland Vs. Atlanta was a real toss up for me. But ,again that was only 2 points. Poor MARSHAWN LYNCH! If he doesn’t speak to the press, he gets fined. If he does speak he is criticized. He is a MAN who does his talking on the “field of battle”. Yes. I know it is part of the business, that he may have to talk to the press. BUT; some people are really uncomfortable speaking in public. I can sympathize with this feeling. When I was 15 I started as a radio announcer/engineer. I was always complimented on my broadcasts. HOWEVER, I could not say a word straight if someone was watching me. If we had station visitors, I would have to pull the blind to my studio. I did my job. I entertained people. (As long as I was just a voice. Not if I was a visible image). Marshawn Lynch does his job. He is a very strong, and exceptional FOOTBALL PLAYER. Some people crave the spotlight. People like Mr. Lynch, prefer to have the spotlight put ON THE TEAM. Leave him alone. Saints Vs Ravens was anyones call. The big SURPRISE for me; as I am sure anyone else’s was the total UpSeT, the RAIDERS pulled off which cost me 10 POINTS. Congrats to the Raiders. 2014 NFL Team Schedule For those of you who do not know how confidence ranking goes, let me explain. If we were playing an office pool,(which we ARE NOT).

NFL Week 12 Confidence Picks Nov.20-23-24. 2014
What a terrible week. Do you think RG III, SHOULD he be the starting QB. I must say I don’t. He doesn’t seem to take any responsibility . He needs to become THE LEADER. Admittedly the DEFENSE played poorly, as well. Who is the LEADER of the DEFENSE. I still feel the same as when I wrote in my article of January 13,2012. (here is the exact thing i stated, when speaking of the Indianapolis Colts considering their first round draft pick); “Want someone who is willing to follow MANNING, and learn from the master, with gradually increasing playing time. Then Robert Griffin III is your man”. Colts 1st Round Draft Pick Is….. QUESTION; RE: LeGarrette Blount. Apparently there are and have been issues. What we don’t know is if every avenue to attend to the issues between Blount, team members, coaches, or management were explored. It is obvious that something was eating at Blount. Some may see his actions as childish. But the issue was very real to him. So it seems the STEELERS were looking for an EASY OUT. But as casual fans do we deserve to know, as, Paul Harvey would say. ” The REST of the STORY.

NFL Confidence Picks Week 10 Nov 6-9-10, 2014
We had a few odd things this past week. We saw a defensive player JUMP the gun and reach the QB. Before the SNAP. We saw a Coach fumble his attempt to throw a red challenge flag. I am sure there are more that I didn’t see, or may have confused with college games. Like, I remember seeing a tipped (pass or FG) attempt landing in the hands of an offensive player for a TD. (Guess I need to take notes; and not just rely on my memory). I forgot to mention “BEAST MODE”. Yes Lynch turned it on again. If you missed it, you wish you could have seen it. At the 5 yard line he is so mobbed by players it is a wonder he didn’t trip. But with the defense repelling him, and his team pushing, for all its worth, Lynch kept going across the goal line.

NFL Confidence Picks Week 9 Oct. 30 –Nov 02-03,2014
WOW!! Was anyone else as surprised by the outcome of MONDAY nights game as I was? I suppose there will be some out there who actually thought Washington would beat Dallas, REALLY?? It made me think why this Colt McCoy, is a third stringer. Secondly why did the Redskins Senior VP of Communications Tony Wyllie pull him away from an interview. May be the Redskins didn’t want to give air time to a “THIRD STRINGER”, who just made the football community ask, “Why isn’t this guy getting more playing time”. Of course you have to admit either the REDSKIN defense was excellent; or the COWBOY Offensive line just SUCKED! UPDATE: In fairness to the VP of Communications for the REDSKINS. He says the reason for the intrusion of the interview was because, “McCoy was running late for the coaches post game talk”. I can buy that BUT…. I think that someone in Mr. Wylilie’s position, would have handled this differently. I, would have had someone with me to either explain the situation to the media, or go with the QB; to the meeting while I explained the situation. HOPEFULLY this will be a learning experience for Mr. Wyllie. That Is How I See It.

NFL Confidence Picks Week 8 Oct. 23-26-27, 2014
NOTE: SUNDAY 1 st GAME IS 9:30 AM Many strange calls last week. 2 players ejected for contact with the Referee. The way I saw it both instances were merely INCIDENTAL CONTACT. I did not see any cause for the ejections, unless the REFEREES ARE TOO FRAGILE TO BE ON THE FIELD. Then we had the unreviewed fumble which cost the SEAHAWKS. I think even the RAMS fans, if they are honest about it, would have to admit SEATTLE recovered the fumble. But it worked out okay for them. BUT, it does give one an idea the Referees have it out for the SEAHAWKS. Last week they took the win away from Seattle. So, YES, that will happen on occasion. BUT two weeks in a row? I personally have questions. HOW ABOUT YOU? 2014 NFL Team Schedule For those of you who do not know how confidence ranking goes, let me explain. 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 ssign 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 This year I am making a change in the scoring. YOU can adopt the new scoring or continue to use the old scoring. This year we get a negative score for missed games. We will continue to get a positive score for correct predictions. EXAMPLE: LAST YEAR if you scored 1 pt on the first game and you had 15 pt on the second game you would still have a Positive 1. HOWEVER. this year the same scenario would result with a -14 score. 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 Confidence Picks Week 7 Oct. 16-19-20,2014
Good WEEK. A few disappointments, (of my personal allegiance), but isn’t that the usual case. Some surprises. Decided to put a “/” between running score to differentiate between the MINUS scoring .and the Regular scori Peyton Manning has broken Career TOUCHDOWN RECORD. 509. Just another day at work for Denver QB. 2014 NFL Team Schedule For those of you who do not know how confidence ranking goes, let me explain. If we were playing an office pool,(which we ARE NOT).

NFL Confidence Picks Week 2
Okay! So I didn’t do so well last week. But in my defense there were a lot of surprises, many upsets. and the first week is always the hardest. It is the first time we actually see FOOTBALL play. Preseason is merely a scrimmage, with little emphasis on winning. 2014 NFL Team Schedule For those of you who do not know how confidence ranking goes, let me explain.
