Okay, this day has been down right scarey.

At lunch my wife and I were talking football. She wanted to know who was playing today and who to root for. It's rare to watch football on Sunday and it not be the Panthers so my wife, who loves the Panthers but really could care less about about the NFL until the playoffs, wanted to know some information about the game she "had" to watch.

During the dicussion I made some predictions. I picked NO over ATL, PHI over NYG, PIT over DAL and BAL over WAS. I also made some predictions about tomorrow's game but more on that in a little while.

Before the games started, I turned the channel to one of the Sunday Ticket Channels and pressed the menu button. (For those who do not know, Direct TV has a interactive menu with Sunday Ticket that gives you scores, standings and stats.) One of the thing I always love to do is take the trivia quiz. For the first time ever I got all five questions correct. Good start to the afternoon.

Then the Falcons and Giants lost. I was so happy. My wife laughed at me and said "Lucky Guesses."

As we were watching the Steelers and Cowboys play I was getting really pissed. I truely hate the Cowboys and throught my luck that helped in my two early game picks had died. Then suddenly the game took a turn and Pittburgh scored a feild goal.

My wife chuckled and said "Too little too late, no way they are going to win this game." I imediately replied and said " Watch, they are going to hold Dallas to a three and out and then score a TD to tie the game."

Sure enough, Pittsburgh did just that. Then before they kicked off I turned to my wife and said "Pittsburgh is going to win the game. Watch, the Steelers are going to get a INT for a TD. Just watch and see."

My wife rolled her eyes and chuckled a litte again. Then it happened. It was like I was in that new Adam Sandler movie and everthing I said was coming true. Steelers get the pick-6 and win the game. My wife could barely take it. She hates it when I am right and even more so when it proves her wrong.

As of right now the Ravens are beating the 'Skins 14-0 at the half.

So hopefully my powers last longer than just this Sunday. If they do, the Panthers will win tomorrow 24-14. DeAngelo will have a spot light game getting close to if not over 200 yards and Peppers will come up big with 3 sacks. That was my prediction at lunch today. So far so good.

      ESPN's Barnwell Early Offseason Grades

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46683459/2025-nfl-offseason-tiers-32-teams-best-worst-signings-trades-draft-barnwell Slightly above expectations Highlights: Trading WR Adam Thielen, signing RB Rico Dowdle (one year, $2.8 million), drafting fifth-round TE Mitchell Evans   Disappointments: Re-signing CB Mike Jackson (two years, $10.5 million)   The Panthers chose the right time to move on from Thielen, who had been productive in Carolina before being dealt to Minnesota just before the season. He has been lost in the shuffle there. While the Panthers won't see the fourth-round pick that forms the bulk of the return for Thielen until 2027, getting out from what was owed to a player who has 47 receiving yards in Minnesota is an easy victory. Dowdle has been a revelation since moving into the starting lineup after Chuba Hubbard's injury, becoming one of a handful of players in NFL history to produce consecutive 200-yard scrimmage games. The former Cowboys back was averaging 3 yards per carry before the opportunity, so I'm not sure I would count on him playing like Jim Brown the rest of the way in a rotational role alongside Hubbard. But it's hard to argue that Carolina hasn't already gotten its $2.8 million worth out of the 27-year-old back. Most of Carolina's biggest moves are either tracking to be right around expectation (drafting wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan) or have been impacted by unexpected injuries (signing defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton). Jackson was a pleasant surprise as a starter in 2024, and he hasn't been terrible this season, but most of the big plays against Carolina have come on throws against the former Seahawks cornerback. Overall, though, this has been a very reasonable offseason for the Panthers

      How would you have taken the guy who was picked ahead of us? That makes no sense.

      I am not denying that things were said. That wasn’t my point. But carry on this will go nowhere.    Oh snap, the post calling him a liar was like three posts before you jumped in.  what do you get, a post a page?
