The SPFL regular season wrapped up in epic fashion with a couple of pre-playoff games and a couple of scoring bonanzas. In the end, the season standings finished up like this: Bright 1s (11-3, Matt Foley Division champion) Bitter Midgets (10-4, Tommy Boy Division champion) Mayberry Mighty Moops (9-5, TB Division runner up) Beauty and…
Grand Finale
Happy December, everyone! My apologies for missing last week’s post, but … you know, Thanksgiving and all. As I stated the week before, I was in downtown DC for three days and then went to one of my favorite places, Gettysburg, PA, for another three days and didn’t get back to the home offices until…
Down the Stretch They Come
Sorry for the delay. I’m in the belly of the beast, the Marriott Marquis on Massachusetts Avenue in downtown DC, glad handing Senators for my nomination to the Cabinet as Secretary of Commissionership, so I’ve been a little busy. But not too busy to find time to post an SPFL update even though Week 12…
Relegation
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…
