What is there about Thursdays that gets me so busy that I have to race to get the picks done? Today was frantic; workout this morning, had to pick #1 Son up at the train station. He was returning from a business trip to NYC, and it meant about 2 1/2 hours of driving from NH to MA and back. Son has been in the new job (market researcher for the Business-to-Business Group at Wayfair.com) for a whole week, and they send him to a trade show to do some market research. Then I had a couple of minutes to sit down, but had to get going on dinner. I have about half an hour, so here goes.

The Lions won and at Green Bay, the Lions tried to lose it at the end but Green Bay wanted no part of it. The football world makes no sense anymore.

Is it possible to finish with negative points?

Because I might finish with negative points this week.

Oof.
