February 2012 is at its end and I have a review of the month coming right up.

The review covers a range of topics that were in the spotlight during the month. The three overarching topics are news, sports and entertainment. The news section is mostly centered on current events and politics. The sports section touches on the biggest sports stories from the month. There is a brief section on entertainment and a longer section on television specifically.

Please discuss any of the topics in the review or anything else from the month you feel deserves attention. Hope you enjoy. Continue reading →

I am not second guessing. I was first guessing.

On the New York Giants’ final offensive possession of Super Bowl XLVI, the New England Patriots should have let the Giants reach the end zone before they eventually did. Yes, let them score. Continue reading →

We’re already a month deep into 2012. How time flies

I am planning on posting a review at the end of each month. I’ll touch on some of the biggest events from the month mostly focusing on news/current events, sports, and pop culture at least for the time being. I expect to write an update on the election in each post as well. Please weigh in on any of the events from the month and/or anything I may not have included.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy. Continue reading →

NFL Divisional Round Picks

The second round of the NFL playoffs is upon us.

The bye factor is in play this weekend which adds some extra spice. How will the home teams play coming off a bye? Will the road teams be able to bring a sense of momentum to this week’s game after a playoff win? It’s the playoffs, the prospect of winning a Super Bowl is enough motivation for a team to play its best, but crazy things happen and sometimes teams (talking about home teams more so here) show up flat for whatever reason. Road teams can build on their first round game too as they start to see the finish line. These sorts of abnormal things happen in this round (which is partly why I feel I am going to be wildly off on at least one of these games).

Quick Notes:

  • The home team is favored by more than a touchdown in three of the four games this week. San Francisco being the exception
  • Three of the four games this week are rematches from the regular season. New Orleans vs. San Francisco being the exception
  • All four road teams went 5-3 on the road during the regular season
  • Two home teams (New England & San Francisco) went 7-1 at home during the regular season
  • Two home teams (Baltimore & Green Bay) were a perfect 8-0 at home during the regular season

Now to the picks.
