NFL Snapshots: Week 18 (2022)
We have reached the end of the NFL regular season. I feel like I’ve described the last 18 weeks as “wild” so much that the word has lost all meaning. But it has been…wild untamed. See, I know synonyms. I … Continue reading
NFL Snapshots: Week 16 (2022)

Toronto vs. Philly III
I am not afraid of the Philadelphia 76ers. Sorry, should I have started with a more traditional topic sentence and introduction? All right, take two. From the top. It is the third meeting between the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers … Continue reading
