Unfortunately, my quest for The Perfect Bowl disappeared last Saturday. It was fun while it lasted. Now I’m on to The Nearly Perfect Bowl. My hope is that the Colts will continue their winning streak all the way through the Super Bowl. Today the Colts play the Jets. While any team can beat another... »

Saints Really Blew It
In a matter of three hours, my dreams of a Perfect Bowl were dashed. I was so sure that the Saints would pull out all the stops and make a run at a 16-0 regular season. Unfortunately the normally hapless Cowboys decided to show up. So there goes my hopes for a Perfect Bowl. ... »
