I just couldn’t get a hand. It was the kind of outing where A-3 seemed very strong. When I did have decent hands, they weren’t working out. I had 6-6. The bet was raised, I called. The big blind pushed … Continue reading →

My home computer is undergoing catastrophic failure. If I can get to turn on and have it boot up all the way without a blue screen of death, it is an achievement. Getting it to shut down cleanly makes me … Continue reading →

No one gave an opinion on my fantasy football roster. So I suppose I will have to tell you the correct answer. The answer is: I’m amazing. After 3 weeks, I am 3-0. I’m the high scorer in the league. … Continue reading →

You’re in a restaurant eating your meal. Minding your own business. Just eating your meal, quiet like. You’ve just started the corn on the cob when it comes. “Everything OK?” The man asking is in his mid-forties with significant hair … Continue reading →

But if you were starting a team right now, would you rather have Belichick as the coach or Brady as the QB? Who’s more valuable? That’s a really difficult question. There are four people involved, not just two. Robert Kraft: … Continue reading →

The fourth hand I check from the big blind with 10-3. The flop is 10-7-3. Long story short, I double up. I was ahead early and kept a huge lead until we were down to four players. Lots of all-ins, … Continue reading →

The other day I had that rarest of prizes, free time. Mrs. Muttrox took the kids off for a couple hours leaving me alone in a quiet house. While reading a book (a disappointing one) I drifted off. The best … Continue reading →

I predict 10-6. 11-5. No, 10-6. Heck with it, 11-5. Why so optimistic? 1) We are an offensive powerhouse. We set every single record there was to set last year. Even if you take away 30% of our points, we’re … Continue reading →

On the advice of my brother, I bought this paperback. He knows that I often wonder how long I could survive if I magically time-travelled to the medieval days. Could I teach the medievals some basic science that would vastly … Continue reading →

I got dragged into fantasy football. I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I think I have a decent team. What do y’all think? (if you’re in the league, keep yer yap shut!) Player Brees, Drew QB NO Rivers, … Continue reading →
