I am sitting on a plane headed to Vegas for 48 hours. I am going to sign up for a few handicapping contests and meet with my runner. Not a lot of fun and quick but that's ok, I am really addicted to my family right now. I think I have trained myself to enjoy working and being with my wife and kids each fall. Not as much travel. The problem with that is , when I have to go somewhere I really miss my people. I was really excited for the football season to get underway and the first week has done nothing to temper my excitment. After an easy win on Thursday, we had an opinion winner on Friday. We pushed Saturday but then another winning opinion on Sunday. Fact is , if I had released 14 picks this weekend I would have gone 10-4 at the worst. It is always a good idea to ease into the season to make sure you are on the right page and a small winning week is better than a big losing one anyday but it is nice to know I am dialed in and ready for a great season. If you are one of those guys that are playing on their own, stop! It is to affordable for you to not sign up and win this week. My 6th grade football team has been practicing for a couple of weeks and have a round robin scrimmage next Sunday. Normally I have a good idea about how good my team is. As a matter of fact , if you are a follower of my blog, I always give odds on the teams in our league to win the Norman optimist super bowl. 2 years ago I rated us as co second choices to win and we lost in the semis, last year I picked us 4th and we lost in the semis. This season we are much better than both of those years but it is a little hard to tell if that is because we are better or just 6th graders and not 4th graders. We should be better, right ? We will know a lot more after next Sunday and I will let you know our chances then. Having gone through another year of fittings and getting the teams together I was reminded of how many of you read this blog specifically waiting for me to say something to offend you. You aren't going to sign up for my service, in fact, you don't even gamble but when it comes to this time of year, by god , you are going to keep up with my blog waiting for me to say something bad about soccer or and say something not so flattering about someone you know. Lol. Question is , what are you going to do next year without me to monitor? I won't have a football team. My son will play for his school. I might not write as many things about our team and therefore, not say something you can run and tell all of your friends about! What will you talk about at your charity meetings and your drunko I mean bunco events with your friends. Well, maybe if your lucky I will start coaching my daughters soccer team. That would be a whole new group of parents for me to offend. And if your lucky enough to have a younger child , just maybe I will say something that gives you something to talk about with your friends. Stay tuned we have an entire season for some parting shots!!! Xxooxoxo. If you are one of those people that is betting on football games, sign up today. Unfortunately for some, I am going to have a huge season !!!!!!!!!
