We’re having another strong bowl season. We went 3-1 in the CFP quarterfinals and now sit at 23-18-1 overall during bowl season. The quarterfinals didn’t feature many close games,...

Our Thanksgiving special and Black Friday gem both crashed, as the Lions and Eagles turned into complete turkeys. Thankfully, the feisty Carolina Panthers saved the week by not...
Well, maybe the Legends just need super-sized slates more often. In our 17-game bonanza last week, 9 of our 11 Legends posted winning records, so perhaps that is a sign we are...
As a group, we have hit a bit of a low point with only one Legend currently sitting above the .500 mark. But if there were ever a week to make a move, this is it. With rivalry...
We bounced back from our first winless NFL week in two years with a respectable 2-1 performance, so we’ll take it. That said, the Lions were a real head-scratcher, nearly losing...

Well, we had a nice run. For five straight weeks we cashed more winners than losers, going 11-4 during that stretch. But last week we stumbled, finishing 1-2, and the streak came...
The Legends continue to struggle to find their footing overall, but there are a couple of bright spots. Brandon Lewis and Ken Wintermote both boast solid season-long records and...

Last Week: 1-4Season Record: 20-23-2 If you are a big Seinfeld fan like me, you probably remember one of the all-time great episodes, “The Jimmy.” It centers around an arrogant...
Well, Robot Rob proved he might actually be human after all, finishing with just a .500 record, which by his standards counts as a slump. Meanwhile, our very human and very...
We hinted last week that a 3-0 run was coming, and sure enough, we hit it. It has been a strong month overall, going 9-3 over the past four weeks, so hopefully you have been...
Last Week: 2-3Season Record: 19-19-2 We started off 2-0 and I truly thought this was going to be our first 5-0 week of the season. But then Joey Aguilar threw that 99-yard pick...

It continues to be a grind for the Legends, with only two humans above .500 so far (kudos to Brandon Lewis and Ken Wintermote for at least keeping it respectable). The real story,...
Last Week: 4-1Season Record: 12-12-1 Ok, now we are talking. Last week is closer to what we expect every week and we finally hit on all cylinders. I missed with NC State, but hit...
