NFL First Guessing – Week 7

I’m on the road again, so just the picks again from me this week.  One quick Bears thought: – squib kicking with 11 seconds left in the game after you’ve taken the lead is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen, unless you’re kicking to Devon Hester.  Guess what, Bears coaching staff, you have Devon Hester!  …

NFL First Guessing – Week 6

I’m back from being on the road, at least for a little bit.  So I actually have time to type up a few football thoughts.  Now that the Cubs are done and I don’t even have to think about them anymore, it’s nice to focus on football (and hockey too, I guess, but the Hawks …

NFL First Guessing – Week 2

Well it was an eventful first week, as was to be expected.  If there’s one thing that’s predictably unexpectable, it’s the first week of the NFL.  There’s obviously the Tom Brady story, and it got me thinking.  There are certain stories every week that everyone covers, so I think I’ll start doing “Morgan’s story no …

Morgan & Tim’s NFL Picks – 2008

Time for that annual tradition of Tim and I slightly embarrassing ourselves with our NFL picks.  I believe we’ve done this for 5 years now, and I think it’s 3-2, with Tim having won the last 2 years.  This past season he smoked me 14-10.  So here’s our picks. Morgan’s Picks AFC East: New England …

NFL First Guessing – Week 15

I apologize for the lack of posting last week. I have no excuses. However, good news for all.  I’ve made the Fantasy Football finals for the first time ever.  And not only that, but I made it in both of my (main) leagues!  So that’s exciting.  And already, Heath Miller got me 0 points.  So …
