Tim Cowlishaw, of “Around the Horn” fame, wrote an interesting column in the Dallas Morning News today, suggesting a major change for the NFL. Add 8 more teams to the league, (Paris, London, Mexico City, Germany, 2 or 3 more in the US, etc.) and start relegating teams like the Premier League/Champions League in soccer….
Turn The Page
Turn The Page. One of my favorite Bob Seger songs. And an apropos blog title this week, as I turn the page. On another election season. On another Cowboys season, … and on my Mt Rushmore of Binge Streaming Series… One at a time — the election. You won’t get any political commentary here outside…
Catching Up
My apologies for the missed post last week. Mrs. Commish recently had a milestone birthday and she wanted to celebrate it by spending a week in Charleston, SC. We had a great time, full of history, ghost tours, and lots and lots of good food. That’s our bag, baby. I could review everything we did…
Shook
I sit here in a lonely hotel room on a business trip trying to post a quick article before the next NFL/SPFL week kicks off, when I get the notification … “Tony Bennett retiring. Effective immediately.” Wait. Whut? I don’t genuinely “look up” to many people in the world of athletics. There’s many that I…
If the Playoffs Started Today…
It’s time for the first “if the playoffs started today…” review. Why? Because I’m tired, mentally and physically, and don’t have anything insightful to share this afternoon. We have one less zero in the standings this week as the Piranha Brothers picked up their first win of the season, leaving the winless Turtles (0-5) and…
Who’s Making a Trade???
Usually, after a week or two, I get pretty good at predicting football games and such, at least more than the average bear, but this year is just different. I seem to find a surprise or a shock every weekend, often more than once. But never was I more surprised than when I got a…
Is This Real Life?
In the words of Jim Halpert, “What is going on???” And, no, I’m not talking about the SPFL, I’m talking about the NFL. Can anyone honestly figure it out? It couldn’t be scripted, it makes no sense. If it weren’t for the Chiefs being 3-0, thanks to some officiating help, and well on their way…
Don’t Know Nuthin’ ‘Bout Nuthin’
I watch a lot of NFL football. Mrs. Commish is the definition of an NFL widow. Me at 1:00PM today pic.twitter.com/EdLrrXjHnR — NFL Memes (@NFL_Memes) September 8, 2024 But last weekend in the NFL proved that I don’t know much about NFL football. The script writers surprised even a diehard fan. No, I’m not talking…
The Sky is Falling … or … Hand Me the Trophy
WE MADE IT 🙌 pic.twitter.com/mIGSAOg8dW — Sports Illustrated (@SInow) September 10, 2023 Well, as a Cowboys fan, the cheese is laying there. All melty and gooey and scrumptious looking. Reminds me of a plate of lasagna at Roma’s. The Big Tuna is in my head saying, “Don’t. Don’t you do it. Don’t you eat it…”…
Predictions
Thanks to everyone for another fun SPFL draft! I’m a little nervous, though, I’m not a big fan of the Yahoo experts giving me an A grade and giving the Lightning a low grade. It just seems … off. While I feel pretty good about my team overall, I’m a little nervous that I fell…
