The colts have been trailing in the fourth quarter in seven different games this season. That amounts to half of their 14 wins, all without slipping up once. That's all coaching and personal player motivation at work too. The NFL is fairly balanced, even from the good teams to the bad, in terms of talent.

Recently I'd started watching The Wire. I made it through five episodes. I'm calling this one off ( Read more... )

I didn't get to watch a whole lot of football yesterday, primarily on account of the frantic nature of my studying. But there were a few things I wanted to bring to the attention of my fellow football fanatics that I noted during the early games, (which was basically all I watched ( Read more... )

Broncos at Redskins: Champ Bailey returns to Washington on a team better than any he had as a Redskin. Denver has been thoroughly outclassed in their last two games, but the Redskins wouldn't thoroughly ( Read more... )

Monday through Wednesday had me jamming to get software modules done. Thursday through Saturday brought a total of five jazz band performances, two of which were in Chicago.
