Posted on January 21, 2016 by fromabrooklynbasement

And in this season that I have not enjoyed at all (I even missed the epic Cards-Packers game on Saturday), we’re down to the final four. Last week I once again went 3-for-4 in my picks (although I was just … Continue reading →

2016 Divisional Round Picks

Posted on January 16, 2016 by fromabrooklynbasement

As usual, my Wild Card picks last week illustrated just how little I know about football. I thought Chiefs-Texans would be a tight game; instead, it was a blowout. I thought Pittsburgh and Seattle would beat Cincy and Minnesota easily; … Continue reading →

2016 Wild Card Playoff Picks

Posted on January 6, 2016 by fromabrooklynbasement

2015 Divisional Round Playoff Picks

Posted on January 8, 2015 by fromabrooklynbasement

Well, last week’s picks could have been better. Thanks to the incompetence of a few key people, I nailed Carolina (thank you, Ryan Lindley!), Indy (thank you, Andy Dalton!), and Dallas (thank you, NFL referees!)—but I missed on Baltimore. And … Continue reading →

2015 Wild Card Round Playoff Picks

Posted on January 2, 2015 by fromabrooklynbasement

With the Niners flushing their season (and most likely their hopes for the next decade) down the toilet over the past month, this is the least invested I’ve been in football in about five years. This weekend’s slate of games … Continue reading →

Niners Conference Championship Awards and Season Post Mortem

Posted on January 21, 2014 by fromabrooklynbasement

I really have no desire to write this. I haven’t read or listened to any game recaps, and I don’t really intend to. But enough people have told me they enjoy reading these things that I thought perhaps some of … Continue reading →

Niners Divisional Round Awards

Posted on January 13, 2014 by fromabrooklynbasement
