It’s a whole new ball game as they say… some big news headlines today to talk about but, if you’ll indulge me for a brief second… i’m excited that i was on the radio today… kind of… i sent in a letter to the Tony Kornheiser Show yesterday because they, like many othe media outlets, are completely dismissing Mike Huckabee and, actually, more than dismissing… they’ve pretty much marginalized him as the one person in the WORLD who can stand up on two legs, speak and yet still believes that evolution is a farce…

Despite having opposing viewpoints on a lot of things, though, i love the show and thought i’d take a second to write in and defend my boy Mike a little bit… sure enough, at the very end of today’s show, my letter was read and, it went over alright i guess… they liked the joke i broke the ice with and i think i made as much of a point as can be expected from a letter on the radio… it was just cool to hear that i “made” the show… i was seriously like a little kid with ants in my pants waiting to see if i’d get quoted…

okay, on with the show…

ROMNEY’ED!!!!!!!

the huge news today is less than an hour old as i write this… Mitt Romney exited the race today while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC (not to be confused with Tupac)… clearly there’s a hidden agenda here or something… taking some parting shots, Romney noted that hanging in the race would merely weaken the Republican party and delay a national campaign that will be needed to defeat the Democrats who are still knotted up in a hotly contested race for the nomination…

Funny, i thought that the strength of any party was the diversity and the freedom to evaluate and choose for themselves which candidate was best… clearly, these statements were barbs at my boy Mike, as an effort to get Huckabee to do the “honorable” thing and quit as well… after all, staying in the race makes you “a part of aiding a surrender to terror”…

I had planned to take some time today to talk about why i don’t like Romney, but since that’s something of a moot point now, i’ll just list some bullet points that i’ll revisit later if necessary…

1. Romney sounds more like a Democrat than any of the other candidates, screaming for change while launching attack ads

2. It seems to me that the Presidency is just another goal. I want a candidate looking to “marry” the job, not one who’s just looking to notch his bedpost.

3. He seems entirely insincere, like a slick-talking robotic snake oil salesman… (this is further cemented in my mind by the fact that he’s “suspending” his bid rather than quitting… this means he gets to keep collecting donations and holds onto his delegates which i expect him to use as poker chips further down the trail…)

anyway… the big question is, NOW WHAT? will Mitt’s supporters jump over to Huckabee’s camp, or will they split their loyalties between Mike and McCain or will they all go to McCain?… well, kids, i sure hope they check ou tmy boy Mike and that they start taking him a whole lot more seriously… i’m voting in five days and i’m voting for my boy Mike… you should too…

THE PAT*STERISKS

speaking of sore losers and bad role models… How about them Pats?… a week or so after filing for trademark rights to the term “19-0″, the Pats are licking their 18-1 wounds… while the Giants were partying in the streets of NYC, the Pats were throwing pity parties…

First Coach Bellichick spends the last play of the Superbowl in the tunnel sulking and brooding, then the two biggest stars, Tom Brady and Randy Moss, immediately withdraw from the Pro Bowl… talk about being a bad loser…

in related thoughts, the 2007 Patriots can no longer be considered the best football team ever, because they didn’t win the Superbowl and that means that technically, they weren’t even the best team of the year… a lot of people think that this is unfair, but it’s the same standard of measurement used for all claims of greatness… it’s what keeps Dan Marino out of contention for the greatest QB ever and it’s always been that way…

SUPER GREAT AWESOME REALLY COOL

and now, speaking of greatness are the greatest Superbowls of my time… as i’ve said before, i feel pretty confident that this year’s game will rank in my top three soon, but i’m still processing it right now and i’m not sure exactly where it will land, but these games are the games it will needs to beat…

NUMBER THREE: Superbowl XXII (1988)

Redskins 42, Broncos 10… i know what you’re thinking… dude, it was a blowout… how was this a great game?… well, you start with the Broncos jumping out to a quick lead… like the first play is a deep pass for a touchdown quick… then you look at the Redskins facing a 10 point deficit in the 2nd quarter and dropping 35 points on the Broncos in one quarter… that’s still a record, by the way… and you add in the fact that Doug Williams (WHO?) led them at QB and Timmy Smith (WHO?) ran for over 200 yards and that, my friends is a great game…

NUMBER TWO: Superbowl XXV (1991)

Bills 19, Giants 20, Norwood Wide Left… 1991 was going to be the year for Buffalo Bills’ fans… the K-Gun was in full effect and they were pretty much unstoppable on offense… unless of course they didn’t have the ball… i remember laying on the floor watching this game, still halfway thinking about the winter retreat that i had just come back from with my youth group… i couldn’t believe that he missed that field goal…

NUMBER ONE: Superbowl XXXIV (2000)

Titans 16, Rams 23, Kevin Dyson 1 yard short… This was the first Superbowl i was married for and i remember having my two closest college buddies over to watch it in our apartment… it snowed pretty well during the game, too… well, in Virginia… this was such a great game though and it came down to the very last play and the very last yard… amazing drama and will always be one i remember…

So there you have it… i’ll admit that some games are tainted in my opinion because of outside circumstances and other games, before, say, the Bears/Patriots game are beyond my memory… i would love it if the NFL released a DVD set of all the Superbowls, but i’m guessing that will be outrageously priced and even then, i’d be watching the games out of context, so the rankings wouldn’t be as true as these are… anyway… that’s fun, what are your three best Superbowl games/memories…

WORD OF THE DAY

Joshua 6: 3-5

A plan?!

okay, we’re all so familiar with this story that it almost makes sense to us… but think about it for a second or two… imagine if General Petraeus were to announce that the new strategy to end the war in Iraq was to pull out the troops, march around the Iraqi border, blow some tumpets and start shouting… you would think that he was absolutely insane… so you see? God’s plan sounds pretty insane… knowing how to fight, understanding strategy and preparing to lead his troops into battle, Joshua had to be scratching his head after hearing this… there’s a new paragraph starting with verse 6, but i like to think that it was a long, dramatic pause…

IN OTHER WORDS

When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box by John Ortberg…

Chapter 6: Master of the Board…

this chapter is actually about resigning as master of the board, but the first bit here is a tale of Caesar Augustus and his rise to power… and the extent to which he controlled the entire world… Ortberg mentions that the concept of “Pax Romana” which is the global peace that was born out of the supreme domination of the Roman Empire and i think that there’s a lot of people who see the US as trying to fill that role… unfortunately, at least as of yet, there hasn’t been and Pax de America or anything like that… and, of course, if you know any history or logic, you understand that it only lasts for so long…

ON WE GO WITH THE SHOW

i interrupted the work i was doing elsewhere at theTRu to get this post typed up, but later tonight, there will certainly be some more new items to peep over on the front page… specifically a Walk TRu and a bonus interview with Mr. J Medeiros… i say bonus, because i did it via email… okay… later folks…

peace… love… bdg…

Have you missed me?… i’ve been pretty tied up with work and errands… and i’ll tell you what, i love holidays and all, but it really screws up your sense of schedule… anyway, with all the illness going around, it’s added to it all to of that and made me perform at like half speed… in fact, it looks like i have a writer’s strike beard going on and i think i’m going to have to get shaving soon because it’s all itchy and stuff… eh, don’t mind me, it’s the congestion talking…

So the big news during my absence has been that Fred Thompson dropped out of the presidential race and i guess some people are now reporting that he was only really testing out the waters so that he might be picked as a running mate… sounds like a career underachiever to me… why would you brag about that?… anyway, the other big news is that Heath Ledger is dead… no joke, or recurring joker character in the new Batman movies… the questions surrounding his death include whether or not it was a drug overdose and how Mary-Kate Olson ties into the whole thing…

yeah, i’m doing no good here, so why don’t we move on…where did i leave off last time… that’s right disillusionment…

RON-PAUL-UTION…?

so it seems like everywhere i go these days, there are Ron Paul banners strewn about on the side of the road or banner ads everywhere or even worse, the moronic online militia posting negative comments about every other candidate, talking conspiracy theories and basically being a nuisance… now, keep in mind, i don’t think that everyone who supports Mr. Paul is a moron, it’s just those who refuse to accept the strengths of other candidates and the weaknesses of their own…

In fact, Ron Paul has a lot of good things to say and it’s no wonder that he’s been able to amass such a following… when it comes to the economy, he certainly seems to know his stuff… and with the recent shift in focus at the debates to key in on economic matters, it looks to favor Paul for as long as they let him talk…

However, Paul seems to be one-dimensional in that regard and is more like Bill “It’s the economy, stupid” Clinton than the Ronald Reagan persona he tries so hard to embrace… if it is just about the economy, then Ron Paul is probably a great choice… but it’s not just the economy… people listen to you when you talk about the economy and people like it when you promise to fix the economy because the average person becomes short-sighted when it comes to money… we, as a nation, are so willing to sacrifice ethics, safety, moral responsibilities, our family, and just about anything on the promise of prosperity…

Look back at Bill Clinton’s time as president and you can see what happens when you just focus on the economy… by the end of his term, we as a nation had experienced the most publicized and morally bankrupt trial of a man’s infidelity… our military was depleated and, despite rolling with the good times throughout his presidency, the country was in a recession… the point is not that we shouldn’t focus on the economy – because i think that we’ve overlooked basic, common sense business practices as a nation for far too long – but the tunnel vision can only last for so long before everything collapses…

Ron Paul’s statements about foreign policies and other practical issues really show a lack of depth and understanding that’s necessary to be in such a high position of authority which outweighs his positive statements about the economy… bottom line, it’s more than just the economy, stupid…

FOOTBALL

Another set of good to great games last weekend… the Patriots managed to shut down the Chargers pretty well… even with Darth Vader trying to manipulate the force from the sidelines… and the rootin’ tootin’ Green Bay Packers, led by Yosemite Brett Favre couldn’t overcome the elements and knock off the Giants, who are apparently sponsored by Franks Red Hot, hot sauce… of course i’m disappointed that the Pack didn’t pull it off, but they were totally outplayed for the whole game and it’s only fair that they win…

this means of course that the Patriots and the Giants will be in the Superbowl down in Arizona and it’s going to be…. eh, an okay game at least… i’ll talk more about it later on…

MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY

Monday was Martin Luther King Day and i have a few things to say about it… first is that there was apparently an MLK patio sale at a local store… i know this because The Tony Kornheiser Show is back on the air and Tony was ranting about how inappropriate it was to advertise a patio furniture sale and attach the name of someone who assassinated to it… His argument was that of all the things that Martin Luther King Jr stood for in his life, patio furniture sales shouldn’t be his legacy in pop culture… which is fine, except he continued to say that it would be okay to have President’s Day sales, Christmas sales, etc… if i’m not mistaken, Lincoln was assassinated and that guy they named Christmas after, too…

Anyway, little boy, who is in Kindergarten, learned about Martin Luther King, Jr. in school… now, i’m not sure all that was said during the lesson or lessons, but he told me that King was a good man, who told people to love everyone and that he had a dream before he was “killed by the bad white man”… interesting to say the least…

i guess my problem overall is that he’s in Kindergarten… he doesn’t have any concept of race… and he shouldn’t… he’s innocent in that regard… as he should be… i see this as a subtle attack on innocence and maybe i’m just being a little overprotective – again, i don’t know what the lesson was about – but i have a dream where kids aren’t taught from an early age that race is an issue only to be taught later on that race isn’t supposed to be an issue… it’s already not an issue… just let us all be neighbors… i’m probably rambling…

GHOST IN THE MACHINE (part eleven)

Long time readers will appreciate this… this time, it’s my laptop… my trusty, faithful, german shepherd of a laptop… except that it’s been acting up in most every way imaginable… first it started acting slow… i figured that it was because i hadn’t shut down in quite a while… well then i got it all rebooted and such and my browser kept freezing… and freezing… and freezing… so i ended up having to uninstall, reinstall, shop around and now i’m splitting time between different browsers… in the meantime, i’ve gotten my email migrated and lost my filters and address book… so i’m still in the process or rebuilding all that… my other computer is actually acting worse, but i’ll save that for another day…

WORD OF THE DAY

Joshua 5: 1-12

This is a difficult subject to talk about… but it’s part of the covenant… they’re across the Jordan, God’s been faithful and they’re all in good spirits, preparing to start battle against all the countries that lay ahead… and at the big pep rally, Joshua says, it’s time to get circumcised… then it explains that this was the next generation and that they hadn’t been circumcised in the desert because of all the disorganization and disobedience… now they’re all caught up with their end of the bargain, recovering from the surgery during the time that is afforded by the fear of the Amorite kings… and, having been cleansed, they can celebrate passover and enjoy the food of the land…

IN OTHER WORDS

When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box by John Ortberg…

Chapter 4: Master the Inner Game…

This chapter talks about the two distinct games that we are playing… an inner game and an outer game… the outer game is what we get credit for, but it is simply an outpouring of the inner game… Ortberg says that the possibility of mastering the inner game is the biggest reason that we even play the outer game… everything external is wasting away despite our efforts to stave off the effects of aging, but i think we need to recognize and embrace the relationship between external and internal, physical and spiritual, temporal and eternal… doing that isn’t easy, especially in a world that likes to compartmentalize everything… props to Ortberg for the Dorian Gray reference… great book there…

BEFORE YOU BREAK MY HEART

Here’s the stuff from last time… a concert review, an interview with Chris Rice and aWalk TRu for Night Owls 4…

Newer postings include an interview with Ronnie Freeman and a new iTRu-nes Playlist…

COMING SOON

the weekend… man, writing in the blog really winds the clock down… but yeah… i’ll shave, i’ll get better and i’ll talk about more stuff… on theTRu, i’ve got a WalkTRu, Left to Write, and more in the works…

peace… love… bdg…

Share on Facebook

well, this is going to be a quick one because it’s been a long week filled with ups and downs… pretty draining and hard to keep the right end up… but since the football games are now tomorrow… i wanted to weigh in on that and a couple other things… i will say that this three-day weekend has some great timing… amen and amen…

GOING GOING GONE (PART TWO)

Also while i was gone… (i got so carried away that i forgot)… the Procussions have decided to call it a day… Mr. J and Stro will continue to do some solo projects and what not, but, having cited a number of reasons in a MySpace Bulletin, Mr. J said that the group was pretty much through… i’m trying to set up an interview with Mr. J, but nothing’s come of it yet… i’ll let you know…

IT’S PLAYOFFS, BABY

Four teams remain… two BIG games tomorrow… here’s how it will play out… SPOILER ALERT…

Patriots host the Chargers… Randy Moss is in a world of anxiety and confusion because of all these allegations… but it doesn’t matter… Moss doesn’t even matter, really… there are so many weapons on the field that it’s just too easy for the Patriots… i think the Chargers will actually put up something of a fight, but will end up losing by 20 points or so…

Off to the tundra… where the red hot streaking Giants march in to face the calm and amazingly veteran Packers… expect snow, wind, freezing temperatures and a Packers win, baby… yeee ha!

AND I’M OUT

i posted up a concert review, an interview and a new Walk TRu and boy am i tired… more details later, but for now, peep theTRu.

COMING SOON

interviews, walkTRus, Ron Paul… more…

peace… love… bdg…

today is a very special day… not just because it’s Friday, but that’s nice… not even because it’s 1-11 which rarely ever happens… what? oh, it happens every year?… okay… not because of that… but today is special nonetheless… today, Monk and Psych return to air as planned… regardless of the strike… i’m happy…but what’s really special about this day is The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything… yeah… Veggietales in the theater again…

ON HUCKABEE, ON THOMPSON, ON MCCAIN, ON CLINTON, ON OBAMA, ETC…

so i was supposed to talk about the debates from last weekend and i blew it… i watched all the Republican segments and enjoyed it a lot… again, prior to this year, i never got much into the whole political scene… and while the charm of these ridiculous amounts of coverage should wear me even thinner than normal, i’m actually intrigued by it all… i was reminded why i don’t like politics a few weeks ago witnessing angry arguing and abrupt assumptions, but it wasn’t until the other day that i realized that i’m more a fan of debating than i am of politics…

i really enjoy watching these debates… i love the banter and the back and forth civil arguments… it’s entertaining and educating… anyway, i’m still backing Huckabee and i’m excited to see how the next few states turn out… one thing i do really enjoy is that Romney is getting put in his place in every debate… the televangelist android has been spending millions on negative attack ads and everyone is calling him on it… they’re nailing him for his inconsistencies and then he has the nerve to cry foul…

The funniest things i’ve seen this week have been Jon Stewart nailing both Mitt and Rudy on Wednesday’s “A” Daily Show… anyway… enough politics…

WIN OR GO HOME (PT. 4)

Last on the docket… The NEW YORK Giants head down to Dallas to face the Cowboys… after getting manhandled during the previous two meetings this year, the Giants are looking for revenge… and they’re looking to the suddenly strong arm of Eli Manning… this should shape up interestingly as Romo will surely have some jitters and Eli has the confidence of having led his team to victory last week… the problem is that he’s still facing the Cowboys, who have dialed him up twice already this year… Terrell Owens promises to be back and this promises to be a really good game… all week, i’ve been thinking that the Cowboys will win easily, but i’m actually changing my vote and calling this one for the Giants…

NEW YEAR, NEW MUSIC, NEW OUTLOOK

i’ve spent a lot of time thus far this year getting organized… i’m trying to make this year a great year for writing… i know, i’ve said that many times before and i still have a long way to go… but i’m happy to be listening to the new Leeland album and have a few other promising prospects coming down the pike…

AND WITH THAT…

everybody’s working for the weekend… no, actually, i’m just chilling out all weekend… with some work thrown in, i’m sure… in honor of the Veggietales Pirates movie, you can “peep” my walk TRu of the movie soundtrack… happy weekend everybody… i’ve got some, emails to write…

peace… love… bdg…

Share on Facebook

Perhaps this is the week that i’ll get back on schedule… perhaps, perhaps not… it was a good weekend overall and i enjoyed the football games quite a bit (more on that later)… i’m currently watching the New Hampshire debates and i expect that i’ll be done with those sometime tomorrow… still have a number of emails hanging over my head, but i’m plugging along with those and with all the other items i have planned… in an effort to get to all that sooner, lets first get to this…

YOU ARE ONE WILD AND CRAZY CARD

What a GREAT bunch of games this weekend… sure, i only picked 2 of the 4 right, but all the games were pretty much up in the air until the very end… the Saturday games seemed better matched, but the Sunday games were quite good as well… and now, even though it’s only Monday, i’ll start making next week’s picks…

Saturday afternoon: Seattle in Green Bay… this game has all the makings of a classic playoff matchup… Favre, the gunslinger, faces a secondary ripe for the burning… Hasselback, Favre’s pupil looks to show up his teacher… the running game for both teams will likely be moot points… add in Mike Holmgren, his knowledge of Favre’s play and his desire to show up the Pack and wow… it’s gonna be great!… in the end, my Packers will have won by about 10 points…

LAST YEAR (PT. 2)

the next list from Last.FM is the 25 most played tracks of 2007… i went ahead and edited this one down so that no artist was repeated… the numbers in parentheses indicates how many times the artist appeared in the actual top 25… as you can tell, the list would’ve included about 7 artists… i think this way it’s more interesting…

1. “Typical” by Mute Math (5)

2. “Carry on Wayward Son” by The Showdown (11)

3. “Made to Love” by TobyMac

4. “Can’t Go On” by Group 1 Crew (6)

5. “The Rain” by K-Os (2)

6. “The Storm” by The Procussions

7. “So Much Love” by The Rocket Summer (4)

8. “Don’t Feel Right” by The Roots

9. “Identity” by John Waller

10 “The Best Thing” by Relient K

11. “” by Amazing Because It Is

12. “Beautiful Disaster” by Jon McLaughlin

13. “Hang Me Up to Dry” by Cold War Kids

14. “The Heat” by Needtobreathe

15. “Your Life Will Never Dull or Your Money Back” by Listener

16. “Come Undone” by Jackson Waters

17. “Rise” by Robbie Seay Band

18. “I Love You to Death” by Family Force 5

19 “Make Money Money” by John Reuben

20 “American Dream” by Switchfoot

21. “Horsey” by Neon Horse

22. “Love & Radiation” by All Star United

23. “When the Stars Go Blue” by Blake Lewis

24. “Feels Like Tonight” by Daughtry

25. “Undercover Belief” by Nate Sallie

if you’d prefer to see the full list without my consolidation, then you can feel free to do that as well…

AMERICAN IDOL

the popular show is rolling the die and coming back for another season soon… and while there’s recently been a surge of Christian singers trying out and making it through the competition, i never expected to hear Robbie Seay Band’s song, “Rise” on the promos for the new season… however, i did… and i got chills…

WORD OF THE DAY

Eph. 1:17-19a

This is a nice blessing… a nice prayer to pray over those whom you love… Paul asks for some wonderful things on behalf of the church and it’s a sincere prayer… the first thing he asks for is the Spirit of wisdom and revelation… hey, that’s what Solomon asked for back in the day… wisdom is good and all, but why?… so that you may know him, God, better…. that’s even better… but that’s not all…

Next, Paul asks God to… okay sing it with me… open the eyes of [their] hearts… but it’s not so much to see Him… it’s to see what He’s given to us… the hope to which we’re called…. the riches of our inheritance and the power of His presence… and we’ll look at that power more tomorrow when i finish this verse and this chapter…

IN OTHER WORDS

When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box by John Ortberg…

What’s the Score?

this next bit is about scoring… how we keep score and how we should keep score and i absolutely love the example that he uses… he talks about how two groups of kids were presented with the same game but they decided to keep score differently… i believe that’s what we’re called to do as Christians too… When Jesus walked the earth, He turned the conventional scoring systems completely upside down… He taught us that to die is to live… to serve is to become powerful… to follow is to lead…

We don’t need to conform to this world’s standards… we don’t have to keep score the same way… this is a real challenge…

THE LAST WORD

speaking of words… merriam webster’s website, m-w.com names an official word of the year each year… it’s apparently voted on by people who use the site a lot and paid attention to the front page ads… previous winners have been “democracy”, “blog”, “integrity”, and “truthiness” (thank you Colbert)… and this year there were some great words up for the vote including “quixotic” and “conundrum” and “apathetic”… but apparently there were no words with the importance or overall likeability as the winner… which was… (drumroll)… “w00t”… that’s right, w00t…and that, my friends, is the world in which we live…

AND WITH THAT…

i posted a new Walk TRu featuring The Alchemy Index Vol: 1 & 2 by Thrice… check it out…

DON’T BE A STRANGER

i’ll be back later this week with more football game predictions… debate reactions and commentary… my thoughts on Roger Clemens… and more… trust me… everytime i start writing i start thinking of new things to write about…

peace… love… bdg…

FRIDAY

Well, it’s the end of the week and i feel fine… work week anyway… it’s been a pretty busy week, but alas we’ve reached the end and tonight, we’re headed to our church’s annual live nativity… we’ll withstand the bitter cold to see a real live camel up close… the boys love it… and as an added bonus, little boy gets to bring home “Hoppy” the stuffed frog from school, take pictures, and journal about what they did together… as Papa Bear O’Reilly would say, take THAT secular progressives… anyway… i’m going to try to be brief because i’m looking forward to the weekend…

WORD OF THE DAY

Continuing on, looking at Ephesians today, Chapter 1 verses 9-10…

another thing that stands out to me from these opening verses is the repetitious mention of God’s will… it’s a pretty thing for Christians to wonder about and discover God’s will for their lives… and here it is mentioned several times in 10 short verse, much of which is actually part of one long-winded sentence… Paul is an apostle, by the will of God, but what’s more intriguing – perhaps to my own detriment – are the next few references… God chose us to be holy and blameless… He chose us to be adopted as sons (and daughters)… in accordance to His pleasure and will… what’s God’s will for our lives? That we are holy and blameless and that we live as children of the King… that’s part of it… perhaps in the short term, that’s all of it… the long term goal is revealed in verse 10…

verse nine states that God has revealed to us the mystery of His will… the will that will be put into effect when the time is right… and that will is… (drumroll)… to bring all things in Heaven and on earth together under one rule…this will is accomplished in Christ… there’s your answer… i think i’ll be back in Joshua next time… not sure though…

IN OTHER WORDS

no Shepherd book today… hopefully i’ll finish reading it this weekend and sum it up on Monday…

FOOTBALL

Okay, i take it back… i was able to watch the game last night… well, this afternoon… (i recorded it and watched it later)… and the Skins won it, thankyouverymuch… last week i struck out at 7-9… let’s see if i do better this week…

Cowboys over Lions
Jags over Panthers
Packers over Raiders
Bills over Dolphins
Eagles over Giants
Titans over Chargers
Bucs over Texans
Bengals over Rams
Seahawks over Cards
Vikings over 49ers
Browns over Jets
Broncos over Chiefs
Steelers over Patriots
Colts over Ravens
Saints over Falcons (as if anyone cares – good pick MNF crew)
