Thursday Numbers

Welcome to the first “Thursday Numbers” column in February!  Welcome to the first “Thursday Numbers” column in February!

(That was my salute to Groundhog Day – the movie).

If you are dropping by for the first time, Thursday Numbers is where I take a look at the numbers in the news and provide some commentary with them.  The information can be used to astonish and you just might overwhelm your friends, family, and co-workers with the knowledge you obtained from this column!  You may even be cooler to your children…

Just Football…

Happy Tuesday folks – and that means today is all about football!

The AFC and NFC Championship games on Sunday were pretty darn good.  We can only hope the Super Bowl comes close to this.  With the history of recent games between the Giants and the Patriots, I think it will be a close game. My pick is at the end of the column.

Today I take a look at some of the facts about the upcoming game, the Pro Bowl, Montanans doing well in the NFL, people being stupid, an interview with Peyton, JoePa, and much more – so read on!

Game-Viewing Shape

Oh man, I am more than ready for football season to start.  The NFL teams are in camp now and this Thursday is the first night of preseason games.  This Thursday!!

Since many of us were thinking we might not have a season, the preseason games are very much welcome.  There will be four weeks of preseason games.  You can check out the schedule HERE.

It looks like each day there are preseason games, at least one game will be carried nationally by Fox, ESPN, CBS, NBC, or the NFL Network.

Preseason is also the time for us fans to get in “game-viewing” shape.  This is serious stuff. Continue reading →

Caught My Eye…

Here we are, well into February! I just celebrated a birthday so now I am getting closer to the age where happy hour is when I take a nap and it takes me twice as long to look half as good. I am also approaching the age where my secrets are safe with my friends because they can’t remember them either.

I’ll be here all week…

My advanced age has not stopped me from putting together another edition of “Caught My Eye.” Caught My Eye is my weekly Friday column where I take a look at some of the things I did not have time to write about during the week – sometimes with a little sarcasm!

By the way, don’t forget that Monday is Valentine’s Day!

So congratulations in making it to another Friday and enjoy this week’s edition of Caught My Eye! Continue reading →

Super Bowl: Final Thoughts

Football is over for the season and that’s just about as depressing as this day being Monday. The 32 teams came down to just two. Then one, the Green Bay Packers, were crowned Super Bowl Champions.

Maybe we’ll see more “Cheesehead Bras” being worn… great googly moogly!

In today’s column I break down all of Super Bowl Sunday from the pre-game shows to the commercials. Enjoy! Continue reading →
