Playoffs are about a month away, so let's see how bad I'm doing:

AL East: Tampa and Toronto were massively disappointing, Red Sox a big surprise. Yankees aren't surprising, I just hope they suck too much. Orioles are right there but have been gutted by injuries to their pitching.

AL Central: Got the top 3 teams right in the wrong order but they were all close in my head and I nailed the White Sox. Tigers have hope for the future.

AL West: Rangers and Mariners were the massive disappointments. I want to say Houston is a surprise but this is what they do. The A's and Angels are just a waste.

As things stand, it looks like I will get 2 of 6 playoff teams right. As for the awards, Julio has been a major disappointment; Langford's been bad or injured most of the year, and Burnes might be in the race for the Cy.



NL East: Braves have been hurt by injuries and the Phillies are better than I thought. The Mets are gonna finish 3rd, but a better 3rd than I thought. The Marlins were majorly disappointing.

NL Central: I think I have this backwards. Somehow the Brewers are gonna win the division again. The Reds and Pirates are both young and bad so maybe they get better and Pitt does have the best young pitcher in the game. The Cards and Cubs are mid.

NL West: Yay, I nailed this one. 5 for 5.

As things stand, I will get 4 of 6 playoff teams and probably should have picked the Padres over the Pirates. For the awards, Carroll was as much a disappointment as Julio and I know this as they were the cornerstones of my C&B Fantasy Baseball team and I'm going to finish near the bottom. I might have the Cy Young winner but Chris Sale will be right there too. ROY will come down to Skenes or Merrill but it sure as hell won't be Harrison.

I think I still have a good shot at the Mid-Atlantic World Series of Philly & Baltimore.

I am bad at these but let's try again:

AFC East: Dolphins, Bills (WC), Jets, Pats - Fuck Aaron Rodgers. I like Allen more than Tua but I like the pieces around Tua a lot more. I think Maye may be good but it'll take time and the rest of the offense is not good.

AFC North: Bengals, Ravens (WC), Browns, Steelers - I know the Steelers will fuck me like usual and win 9 games and be the Wildcard but at some point Tomlin's soul has to be forfeit. This will be a tight two-team race though the Browns may be competitve.

AFC South: Texans, Colts (WC), Titans, Jags - Who fucking knows. This could be the order. Or I could have it completely reversed. I think the Texans have the most talent but maybe Richardson is great. Maybe Lawrence remembers how to be good. Maybe the Titans pull a rabbit's foot. Anything can happen

AFC West: Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers, Broncos - I'm bored, let's move on.


AFC Championship: Bengals beat the Chiefs (I think if the Ravens get here, they also win)


NFC East: Cowboys, Eagles (WC), Commanders, Giants - I feel dirty, but I think the Cowboys may be less dysfunctional than the Eagles. Eagles have too much talent to not make the playoffs, but I think they need therapy. Oh and Daniel Jones is the worst...long live Carson Beck or god forbid, Shedur Sanders.

NFC North: Lions, Packers (WC), Bears, Vikings - I think Caleb will have 4-5 games of pure excellence and 3-4 games of rookie play but I think they have their QB. I hate that the Packers may have theirs again and I'm already over it-he's not a top 10 QB even if I've heard it too often this off-season. Lions are 1A or 1B of the NFC.

NFC South: Falcons, Bucs, Panthers, Saints - I still don't think Bryce is a bust but please get him some talent before he becomes one for sure. Cousins and a ton of talented skill players and a good defense helps Atlanta rise a bit above mediocrity. And that's what this division is...MID. I won't be shocked if all 4 teams are between 7-10 and 10-7

NFC West: 49ers, Rams (WC), Cardinals, Seahawks - The 49ers are the other 1A or 1B of the NFC. Just quality, especially with Aiyuk re-signed. I think the playoffs come down to Eagles/Rams/Cardinals, but I want to see a full quality season from Kyler before I pencil them into a playoff game. Seahawks are bad.


NFC Championship: Lions over Cowboys (late season injury to CMC derails the 49ers)



Super Bowl: Lions over Bengals.

Winnipeg got run the fuck over by a much better team. I don’t care that they swept Colorado in the regular season. The team they faced the last five games was a fucking steamroller and would have crushed most teams in the league. When Colorado is “on” they are unbeatable. Issue has been they are less consistently on this season as compared to two years ago. Winnipeg’s only real advantage over Colorado is Hellebuyck and when that crumbled the result we saw shouldn’t be surprising.

Don't think I've remembered to share these with y'all before.

I have a co-worker who worked as a camera man for WCW from the early 1990's until 2001 when it was sold. Got these from him a year or so ago when he found out I was a wrestling fan.

My thoughts about this afternoon's action:




Seriously, I don't care that we're probably losing by 30 on Saturday. This was so amazingly fucking satisfying. Enjoy unemployment Mike!!

Although I gave a rather comprehensive, extensive preview above (Ha), I'll give some more thoughts here.
