Texas Tech vs. North Carolina State 2002 If you're anything like me you've been watching a lot of old sports games to help you with the lack of sports during this virus. Might I suggest one from my old sports writing days. I was in the press box watching with my good friend Matt Muench that day so I didn't watch on TV. So we'll to experience this together! Enjoy!

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a sucker for Rocky movies. I celebrate almost the entire library. Except Rocky 5. God rest Tommy Morrison's soul but that movie was an abomination to say the best. The best thing that could have happened to the series was Black Panther director Ryan Coogler and star from Fruitvale Station and The Wire, Michael B. Jordan getting involved. It rejuvenated Sly

Aliens might be real as The Pentagon releases footages of what they claim is an 'unidentified aerial phenomena' We might not be alone in this ever-expanding universe. The Pentagon released three videos showing what they are calling "unidentified aerial phenomena". In the videos, we can see an oval object moving rapidly, which seems to be impossible manoeuvre for aircraft to carry out.

Why did Tom Brady walk away from Patriots, Bill Belichick after 20 years? Do we want to do "blame" or do we want to do "reasons"? We can do both but - out of respect for the end of the greatest run by any franchise in NFL history - I'd rather lay off the blame for why Tom Brady is no longer a Patriot.Let's stick to reasons.One thing, though? Tom Brady didn't "decide" to leave the Patriots.

Project Blue Book I for one welcome our alien overlords. I've never been a huge sci-fi guy or an alien guy but this show has enough of a history background (Cold War politics, CIA, spies, etc.) to draw my attention. Obviously its scripted but each episode concludes with the university researcher's notes from that case. Aiden Gillen from Game of Thrones (Littlefinger) kills it as Dr. Hynek,

Disgraceland Your favorite musicians are all scumbags. I know because I heard it on Disgraceland.  Lot of great stories from the world of music like James Brown asking for a private viewing of Elvis' body at his funeral and telling the corpse, "Elvis, you rat, I ain't number two no more."

I can't express how weird and unsettling it is to see wrestling without crowd noise. It's like watching a duck read a newspaper. Not that I'm complaining. The fact that I get to watch it at all is something I'm thankful for - any shot at normalcy right now is something we should embrace. But during these trying times I also flash back to the past to get a shot of enthusiasm. We've got Hard

Look, a lot of people are freaking out right now about toilet paper. Seems ridiculous to me. Hell, anything can be toilet paper. Thrifty Nickel, treasure map from Long John Silver's, welfare check, Mcdonald's bag, restraining order paperwork, paystub from Nebraska. Hell, anything.  My buddy from the Boca Raton Soup Kitchen, Tupelo Hank used to say you didn't even need toilet paper.

For some reason the idea to write an opinion piece about Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson’s comments to GQ popped into my head near Midnight two days before Christmas. The horse has been beat near to death but some momentary thought that was clear for a fleeing moment sparked my interest enough. This isn’t about gays. This isn’t about blacks.

One week of picks in the book and if you rolled with me last week then you're already a winner. Sure, I only went 8-7 but it was a solid 8-7. With the exception of whiffing big on Auburn/Wazzu, Boise/Washington and Miss State/Okie State I looked almost knowlegable. And as Bo Pelini would say this is easily improvable. We shall see. Here's this week's games. My picks are in bold. South Florida
