to cover some events, so I took the time, as I have the past several
years, to pore through the NFL Schedule. I have come away with my
conclusions and predictions on how the season will shake out.<br />
<br />
I am never right.<br />
<br />
For example, let's take a look at how I predicted last season:<br />
<br />
<b>Round 1: </b><br />
<i>NFC</i><br />
Arizona (WC) at <i>Green Bay </i><br />
<i>Carolina</i> (WC) at Seattle<br />
<i>AFC</i><br />
Cincinnati (WC) at <i>Pittsburgh </i><br />
<i>Kansas City</i> (WC) at Tennessee<br />
<b>Divisional Round: </b><br />
<i>AFC </i><br />
KC at <i>New England </i><br />
Pittsburgh at <i>Oakland </i><br />
<i>NFC</i><br />
Carolina at <i>Atlanta</i><br />
<i>Green Bay</i> at Dallas<br />
<b>Conference Championships: </b><br />
<i>NFC</i><br />
<i>Green Bay</i> at Atlanta<br />
<i>AFC </i><br />
Oakland at <i>New England </i><br />
<u><b>Super Bowl: </b></u><br />
<i>New England</i> vs. Green Bay<br />
<br />
Champ: New England<br />
<br />
<br />
Ouch.
The only positive take away from this is that I picked the Patriots to
go to the big game. However, an untrained monkey could have seen that
coming. I picked GB to be playing them, and perhaps had Aaron Rodgers
not been crushed by Anthony Barr, they may have. I chose the 8-8
cardinals to make the playoffs, as well as the 7-9 Bengals. However, the
worst was picking the 6-10 Raiders to have a first round bye.<br />
<br />
In
total, I had only 2-of-6 NFC teams correct in the playoffs, but didn't
get a single game right. Over in the AFC, picks were much more pleasant,
as I had four of the six playoff teams correct. I even had a first
round match-up between KC and Tennessee correct. Unfortunately, the only
games I got right were the ones that NE won.<br />
<br />
<br />
This
was probably one of the best years I have ever had. A 50 percent rate
of picking playoff teams. One of the Super Bowl teams correct. Dang!
Maybe I have gotten the hang of this.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, with that confidence surging through my body, here are my picks for 2018:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Round 1: </b><br />
<i>NFC</i><br />
Green Bay(WC) at <i>New Orleans </i><br />
<i>Carolina </i>(WC) at Philadelphia<br />
<i>AFC</i><br />
Baltimore (WC) at Houston<i> </i><br />
<i>Jacksonville </i>(WC) at LA Chargers<br />
<b>Divisional Round: </b><br />
<i>AFC </i><br />
Baltimore at <i>New England </i><br />
LA Chargers at Pittsburgh<i> </i><br />
<i>NFC</i><br />
Carolina at <i>LA Rams</i><br />
<i>Green Bay</i> at Minnesota<br />
<b>Conference Championships: </b><br />
<i>NFC</i><br />
<i>Carolina </i>at Minnesota<br />
<i>AFC </i><br />
Pittsburgh at <i>New England </i><br />
<u><b>Super Bowl: </b></u><br />
<i>Pittsburgh </i>vs. Minnesota<br />
<br />
Champ: Minnesota (34-18) MVP: Kirk Cousins<br />
<br />
<br />
There
you have it! The Vikings win the Super Bowl! My life is complete. I can
die a happy man. I mean, the way that this team has been put together, I
don't know how this plan could fail. Sure, last year they went 13-3
after I chose them to be 7-9, but there is no stopping them. I did not
just jinx the Vikings. Don't you dare talk to me like that. Come at me,
bro!<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry. I kind of went ballistic there.
Thanks for reading, and hopefully I AM really getting better at this,
and the Vikings do in fact win the Super Bowl. typhoon467http://www.blogger.com/profile/02143978665579867569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374998145557453657.post-1542348426708271772016-09-30T09:26:00.002-07:002016-09-30T09:26:27.896-07:00Annual NCHC predictionsAs I have done for the past several years, I will try and provide a
bit of a preview/prediction of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference
(NCHC). To properly get myself in the right mindset for this, let's
look back at what I predicted from a year ago:<br />
1. University of Minnesota-Duluth, who actually finished fourth<br />
2. St. Cloud State, who tied for second<br />
3. Tie between Denver and North Dakota, Denver finished tied for second and UND was first<br />
5. Nebraska-Omaha, who actually finished sixth<br />
6. Miami, who actually finished fifth<br />
7. Western Michigan, actually was seventh<br />
8. Colorado College, actually was eighth<br />
<br />
As
you can see, UMD was by far my worst call. Other than that, I wasn't
too far off, but I can certainly do better, and should, this year.
Without further fanfare, here is my prediction for this season:<br />
1.
University of North Dakota: It is hard not to pick the defending
national champs here. Despite the loss of three of their top four
leading scorers, and nearly all of their defense, the Fighting Hawks are
one of the best at reloading. The real key for UND though is they
return spectacular goaltender Cam Johnson and leading scorer Brock
Boeser. Johnson will be the big key for the Hawks. If he can be as
spectacular as last year (1.66 GAA, .935 save percentage), UND will
certainly be near the top of the conference.<br />
2. Denver: Denver
should easily be up here after finishing with a loss to the champs in
the Frozen Four a year ago. Sure, the Pioneers will be without
sensational scorer Danton Heinen, but Denver does return most of the
rest of their scoring, defense and goaltending. The big key for the
Pioneers will be replacing Heinen's scoring, but I think Denver will
find a way.<br />
3. St. Cloud State: This might be my bias showing
here, but despite losing an All-American goaltender and like every
single one of their top scorers and a couple strong defender, I still
believe in the Huskies. The biggest challenge will be replacing Lindgren
in net, and the Huskies have three contenders in competition right now.
As far as scoring, the Huskies still return six 20+ point scorers (they
had 12 last year), so the offense shouldn't be a problem. Plus, the
Huskies have talented Poehling brothers (two are twins, one forwent his
senior year in high school and is 17) to shake things up. <br />
4.
Nebraska-Omaha: UNO is a tough team to predict, but I see good things on
their horizon. Sure, the Mavs lost top scorer Jake Guentzel, but they
return just about everyone else. I wouldn't be surprised if Austin
Ortega and Co. could win close to a dozen conference contests and 20+
games overall. The big key will be finding scoring replacements for
Guentzel.<br />
5. Miami: Miami has one of the best freshman classes
in the country this year, with 14 incoming freshman. Sure, the Redhawks
lost goaltender Jay Williams and their second and fourth-best scorers,
but they do return leading scorer Anthony Louis. The big key for Miami
will be replacing Williams in net.<br />
6. Minnesota-Duluth: Oh, how
the tables have turned in Duluth. The Bulldogs will be without
goaltender Kasimir Kaskisuo, who left early for the pros, and lose their
top two scorers from a year ago. UMD does have nine talented incoming
freshman and the three, four and five scorers from last year, but I have
a feeling that net will be tough to replace. He was the biggest reason
that the Bulldogs were relevant a year ago.<br />
7. Western Michigan:
The Broncos will remain entrenched in seventh place. The return Griffen
Molino and Sheldon Dries, but lose Nolan LaPorte and good goaltender
Lukas Hafner. Keep an eye on Frederick Tuffels.<br />
8. Colorado
College: Perennial cellar dwellers, CC does return a number of players
from a year ago, losing only top scorer Hunter Fejes, but that won't be
enough to get the Tigers out of the basement.<br />
<br />
There we
have it. Denver and UND should be in a showdown come Frozen Faceoff
time, and I expect that at least four teams from the conference will
make the NCAA's, if not five. typhoon467http://www.blogger.com/profile/02143978665579867569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374998145557453657.post-87711527356111154052015-09-29T12:42:00.002-07:002015-09-29T12:42:45.584-07:00NCHC previewUsually when I predict the NCHC (or WCHA) standings, I go with my gut,
and base it mostly on rumblings I've heard or read. This year I went a
step further, and actually did some research (I know. How bold of me?)
Anyhow, I've reached some conclusions, and hopefully what I will say
will hold some water when the dust settles. Here are my rankings of the
NCHC teams this year:<br />
<br />
1. University of Minnesota-Duluth: Duluth lost very little from a good
team that lost in the quarterfinals of the NCAA's a year ago. All the
Bulldogs did lose is a few of their middle of the pack scorers and a
little defensive depth. Otherwise they return almost all of their
scoring and both goalies that had playing time a year ago. The Bulldogs
were 21-16-3 overall and 12-9-3 a year ago, and I could see those wins
jumping up to 25 and 15 this year, despite a very tough NCHC.<br />
<br />
2. St. Cloud State: This could be me being a homer, but even despite
losing Johnny Brodzinski and Ethan Prow from a year ago, I think that
the Huskies will be much better this year. They return big Chuck
Lindgren in goal, and their other four top scorers. They have a strong
crop of freshman to pair with a great senior class. If the Huskies want
to make another Frozen Four run, this would be the year to do it.<br />
<br />
T-3rd: Denver and University of North Dakota: I couldn't make up my mind
which team is better, so I'm just going to say these two teams will
tie. The Pioneers lost Joey Laleggia and some secondary scoring, but
return Danton Heinen and second scorer Trevor Moore, both goaltenders
and most of the rest of their defense. Denver made it to the NCAA with a
24-14 overall record and 13 wins in the NCHC. A similar record would
not be out of the question. UND on the other hand lost a lot. The North
Dakota squad will be without star goaltender Zane McIntyre as well as a
lot of scoring and players in general. The biggest loss of all though
might be long-time head coach Dave Hakstol. With Drake Caggiula and Paul
LaDue back and a strong defensive lineup, I'd still expect the nameless
hockey team to be very good.<br />
<br />
5. University of Nebraska-Omaha: It is no secret that Ryan Massa was the
big reason that UNO made a Frozen Four run last year. He graduated. The
Mavericks do return almost every other player on their lineup, and they
will still be a very good team, but a goaltender remains in question.
In a loaded NCHC a great goaltender or goaltending duo is a must, and I
just don't see them making up for it with everything else to be in
conference title contention. That said, an NCAA bid is likely in their
future.<br />
<br />
6. Miami (Ohio): The Redhawks lose their top three scorers including
Austin Czarnik and Blake Coleman, who carried them late last year. Miami
lost to the eventual champion in the NCAA, and do return strong goalie
Jay Williams, but I foresee scoring to be a big issue for the Redhawks
this year. They will play in a lost of close games, and will still
likely be looking at a chance at an NCAA berth when all is said and
done, especially if they find some scoring.<br />
<br />
7. Western Michigan: This is where the NCHC drops off. WMU was 14-18-5
overall last year and had just six wins in conference play. They lost
their second and third-leading scorers. They return most of the rest,
including most of their defense and their goalie, but it won't be enough
to crack into the top six.<br />
<br />
8. Colorado College: CC was not very good last year and they lose almost
all of their defensive crew and their second leading scorer. They
return Cody Bradley at goalie, but I don't foresee them being very good
or even getting 10 wins.<br />
<br />
I can't wait for the season to begin this weekend. I will hopefully be
posting some more updates about the NCHC as the season goes along.

I have decided to share my top 10 television shows that I enjoyed in 2014.<br />
<br />
As I have in the past mentioned with columns like this, these are only shows that I viewed in 2014, so your favorite show might not be on this list, and it's not because it isn't great (I mean, it could be), but is probably left out because it really is bad, or not that good or maybe I just didn't see it.<br />
<br />
Anyways, without further adieu, the top 10 TV shows of 2014:<br />
10. Degrassi: The Next Generation<br />
I've been in love with the realness, and excellent casting of this Canadian TV melodrama for way over a decade now, and it has not lost much steam in its 14th season. New characters continue to invade the plot lines twisting and turning through the halls of Degrassi High, and as long as they do, I'll continue watching.<br />
<br />
9. Parks and Recreation: I can not get enough of what is the only good program left on NBC. That Ron Swanson does it to me every time, especially when he is <a href="http://drunkronswanson.com/" target="_blank">drunk</a>, but also like last season, when he shows he cares. Aziz was hilarious as always last season, and anytime that Jean-Ralphio (brilliantly acted by Ben Schwartz) shows up, it is a good time.<br />
<br />
8. The League: Comedies will be a theme within the top 10, and this sports writers/fantasy football enthusiasts dream has chugged along this year, even going so far as to add an Adam Brody ghost to the mix, plus the whole <span class="itemprop" itemprop="name">Ménage à Cinq bit was great in the end. This show continues to innovate, yet stay oh so familiar. Plus anything Jon Lajoie touches turns to gold. </span><br />
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name"><br /></span>
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name">7. House of Cards: Netflix's best and most storied franchise had a solid second season. While many critics, including one of my favorites, Grantland's Andy Greenwald, didn't think the season was great, but I enjoyed it, and anytime you violently kill off the show's main protagonist, and still stay relevant, is impressive. </span><br />
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name"><br /></span>
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name">6. Archer: This season it was really Archer: Vice, since the gang became drug dealers/smugglers for a year, but the same hilarious antics ensued, and it was pretty great. If I hadn't heard the news that they were basically <a href="http://www.npr.org/2014/10/13/355769259/fx-show-archer-to-drop-isis-name" target="_blank">forced to change</a> away from using ISIS, it probably would have been higher. </span><br />
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name"><br /></span>
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name">5. The Walking Dead: TV's most popular show made some headway into becoming watchable and exciting this year. The heart-wrenching finale last season, along with the quick wrap-up of Terminus, more deaths in the family, and a thrilling ending to the fall season, it was once again a solid year of TWD. </span><br />
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name"><br /></span>
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name">4. Scandal: Always exciting, thrilling, twisting, turning and sexy, Scandal has not disappointed me yet. Revelations, secrets, lies and steamy bedroom scenes, should keep anyone tuned into what has become my secret pleasure. </span><br />
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name"><br /></span>
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name">3. Pretty Little Liars: I just lied. My real secret pleasure is Pretty Little Liars, which is a murder-mystery version of Scandal, set in a small town in Pennsylvania. The road to finding out who "A" is has been a roller coaster, filled with more twists than the best of water slides. It could be anyone, even my most favorite characters, and whoever it is, is sick. It's great. </span><br />
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name"><br /></span>
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name">2. Game of Thrones: Still the most relevant, buzz worthy show out there, this had to be near the top of my rankings. The fact that George R.R. Martin told <a href="https://au.thehype.yahoo.com/celebrity/news/a/24436891/game-of-thones-author-george-r-r-martin-tells-fans-to-f-k-off/" target="_blank">fans who told him he should finish before he dies to f--- off</a>, made it even better. I can not wait to return to the fields and cities of Westeros and hopefully see some more heads get squished. </span><br />
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name"><br /></span>
<span class="itemprop" itemprop="name">1. True Detective: Watched all in a binge after the internet explosion of praise became too much for me to ignore, True Detective turned out to be my favorite show of the year. Woody and Matthew are two of my favorite actors in anything, and they brought forth their best for this one. I am truly looking forward to another season with what looks to be a very promising cast.

This week I decided to do something a little different. I'm going to post photos again (yay). However, they will likely be photos you've already seen, because I'm beginning a new segment I like to call "Best of Blog" or BOB.<br />
<br />
In this series of posts I'm going to pick out my favorite photos from past posts, and repost them. This week I chose photos from 2010 or my first sports year in Bottineau.<br />

Record full-time. Not that I won't help out the Times if Milaca happens
to play out here, but I won't be in the Princeton office or roaming
around at Milaca events anymore. Instead you'll see me places like where
I was last Thursday, a Little Falls girls soccer game. Or like on
Friday, when I was at the USA and Royalton battle of the undefeateds. I
will be heading over to Swanville this afternoon for a match between the
Bulldogs and the Royalton Royals. On Thursday I will head over to
Swanville again to see the Upsala/Swanville rivalry match (both
volleyball games). On Friday I'll head out to both the Little Falls and
Pierz homecomings in some capacity, I haven't decided how best to do
that as of yet, but I'll figure something out.<br />
<br />
As for
fantasy football, I earned two more victories this week. I'm really
doing well, having gone 3-1 in my main league, and 4-0 in the league I
won last season. Philip Rivers helped majorly in both leagues, and I had
Matt Asiata in another, so skol Vikings.<br />
<br />
It was a borderline miracle that I won in either league as in both I had Brandon Marshall, who did little, and in one I also had Megatron, who was used as a decoy. And in both I had Emmanuel Sanders (on bye) and in my main league I also had Michael Floyd, who was also on bye.<br />
I'm just going on the assumption that I'm being repaid for the terrible luck that I received last year back in Bottineau. I'm sure I'd be running all over those fools this year too.<br />
<br />
Also a big congratulations to Ethan Kerslake who had a MONSTER game last week with 282 yards and seven touchdowns. Crazy good. Yes, that means I do still follow some ND sports, but don't expect me to wax nostalgic about the UND Flickertails. Go Huskies.<br />
<br />

<br />
After pouring through each match up and trying to do my best at predicting each game, then tweaking the records to make them fit for the visions of the future that exist in my monkey brain, I finally cranked out my playoffs and final records for the teams.<br />
<br />
Some surprises: Both San Francisco and Seattle miss the playoffs with 9-7 records. After strong 2013 seasons, Kansas City and Carolina regress dramatically, finishing 6-10 and 4-12 respectively. Also the NY Giants finish 10-6, but miss the playoffs.<br />
<br />
As far as what those playoffs look like, feast your eyes on this:<br />
<br />
NFC:<br />
6) Chicago (10-6)<br />
vs. 3) Philadelphia (11-5)<br />
<br />
5)Tampa Bay (11-5)<br />
vs. 4) Minnesota (10-6)<br />
<br />
1) New Orleans (12-4) bye<br />
2) Arizona (11-5) bye<br />
<br />
Second round:<br />
6) Chicago<br />
vs. 1) New Orleans<br />
<br />
4) Minnesota<br />
vs. 2) Arizona<br />

A bit confusing in some of the new and unnecessary stuff, but overall, it's Madden.<span id="goog_702805349"></span><span id="goog_702805350"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">My roommate and I did a fantasy draft. As the eighth pick I was thrilled to get Andrew Luck. I also got Adrian Peterson, Eric Decker, Antonio Brown, several good offensive lineman. I was a little weak on defense, but got strong guys in Xavier Rhodes, Chris Long and Sean Lee. However, my right guard Zane Beadles was hurt, as was Sean Lee. They are both out for multiple weeks to start the season. I won my first game 17-14 over Buffalo in overtime. I came from behind, down 14-7 in the first half. Peterson ran for 140 yards and two touchdowns, and had two grabs for 78 yards, one that set up the game-winning field goal. </span><br />

Also check out my thoughts on <a href="http://millelacscountytimes.com/2014/08/13/fantasy-preparedness-seminar/" target="_blank">running backs</a> this season. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 1: Calvin Johnson. Actual finish for Johnson: Three.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Solid pick. I couldn't go wrong picking him to be No. 1 every year, and that's almost always what I've done.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 2: Brandon Marshall. Actual finish for Marshall: Five.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Another strong prediction. Marshall didn't have quite the season I expected, but that was likely due to his soul mate Jay Cutler being injured for a stretch.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 3: Dez Bryant. Actual finish for Bryant: Seven.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">An OK selection. Bryant didn't score as much as I anticipated last year, but he still did pretty well, and anyone who took him as the third wide receiver off the board is not complaining.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 4: A.J.

Actual finish for Jones: 64.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Should have known he would get hurt, but his upside is so high it's hard not to rank him high.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 6: Randall Cobb.

Three in a row that were hurt for a big part of the year. Roddy was a weird case.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 8: Vincent Jackson.

Just had him ranked a little too high.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 9: Victor Cruz.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I'm going to take a look at how I faired in predicting running backs last season:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
2013 prediction No. 1: Adrian Peterson. Actual finish for Peterson: Seventh.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
It was pretty hard to not pick AD No. 1 after he almost set the rushing record, and it's not like he was bad. He just wasn't spectacular.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
2013 prediction No. 2: Doug Martin. Actual finish for Martin: 56.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I could blame this on an injury, and that he played only six games, but I won't. He was not the same even when he was healthy. He got figured out by the league. He's a total bust.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
2013 prediction No. 3: Jamaal Charles. Actual finish for Charles: First.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Solid pick here. I had him in two of my three leagues, and rode him to a title in one league. He's even better in PPR than in standard, but he also scored 19 total touchdowns so....yeah, he's good.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
2013 prediction No. 4: C.J. Spiller. Actual finish for Spiller: 26.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Yet another bust, and this one hurts even more than Martin for me. I put a lot of stock in Spiller, and he really disappointed me, and a lot of other people too. I did somehow manage to trade him midseason for Antonio Brown (beyond me why that was allowed to happen). I do still hold out hope for him this year though.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
2013 prediction No. 5: Arian Foster. Actual finish for Foster: 43.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Running backs are a fickle breed. Injuries and declines can be hard to predict, and that bit me again here. He was effective when healthy, but now has all those injury question marks.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
2013 prediction No. 6: Maurice Jones-Drew. Actual finish for MJD: 20.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
He's getting up there in age, and I should have figured he would decline in a poor situation in Jacksonville. Interesting to see if he can provide some middling value with the Raiders much like LT did with the Jets late in his career.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
2013 prediction No. 7: Trent Richardson. Actual finish for Richardson: 35.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Another flop, and horrible pick by me, but to be fair it is probably tough to switch teams midseason. It certainly is not something that's expected, and is rare in the NFL.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
2013 prediction No. 8: LeSean McCoy. Actual finish for McCoy: second.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Was not quite high enough on McCoy, as I said that I though MJD would rebound better. Fool. I did say he could "easily return to form" which he did. Yay me.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
2013 prediction No. 9: Matt Forte. Actual finish for Forte: third.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Another undersell, but with the right idea. I had said that I was "high on Forte rebounding." So mark another one down for the gipper.</div>

2013 prediction No. 10: Marshawn Lynch. Actual finish for Lynch: fourth.</div>

Yet another undersell. Looks like I either swung and missed or did not have enough power to hit it over the fence. Running backs are the toughest to predict.</div>

I am going to share my predictions from last year, and how they actually stacked up to the finish. I started doing this last year, and I had a lot of fun. This week I'll focus on quarterbacks, and next week I'll reveal this year's rankings.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">QB fantasy football:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 1: Drew Brees. Actual finish for Brees: second.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Pretty much knew he'd be up there. Good pick. Nobody really expected the next guy on the list to beat him by that much, at least I didn't.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 2: Peyton Manning. Actual finish for Manning: first.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">I know for a fact that I had him higher than many people last year, and even caught some flack for it. However, I just knew that the addition of Welker would help Manning's production to swell. What I didn't know was that it would explode into what it was, and that Julius Thomas would have as much or more to do with the jump as Welker did.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 3: Cam Newton. Actual finish for Newton: third.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Two years in a row that I correctly predicted Newton's actual finish. Thus far, I've done a really good job of predictions.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 4: Aaron Rodgers. Actual finish for Rodgers: 24.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">This looks really bad, but injuries derailed what would have likely been another spectacular season for A-Rod.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 5: Matt Ryan. Actual finish for Ryan: 12.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Not a great pick. Certainly did not expect the Falcons to fall off so quickly. Certainly didn't help to not have a healthy Roddy White all year, or Julius Jones for the whole season.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 6: Tony Romo. Actual finish for Romo: 11.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Was a lot higher on Romo then he turned out to finish. I even drafted him in my most important league, which sort of worked out OK. He was hurt for a game with the rib injury. Not that it should be an excuse.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 7: Matthew Stafford. Actual finish for Stafford: seven.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Boom. Right on the money with this one. I think Stafford is pretty much relegated to this or lower each year. Don't think he has the stuff to become elite.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 8: Tom Brady. Actual finish for Brady: 15.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Though I did predict a decline for Brady from year's past, I didn't predict the drop to be far enough.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 9: Robert Griffin III. Actual finish for RGIII: 19.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Should have known he would be injured and ineffective.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">2013 prediction No. 10: Russell Wilson. Actual finish for Wilson: Eight.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Underrated the most consistent performer of the year, but not far off.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">11.

<div style="font: 24.0px Futura Std; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'New Century Schoolbook LT Std'; font-size: 10px;">What ever happened to all the feel-good sports movies for kids? </span></div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
I remember several hit sports movies geared toward the child and adult audiences alike when I was growing up. </div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
I mean “The Mighty Ducks” (and its sequels), “Cool Runnings,” “Angels in the Outfield,” “Space Jam,” “Little Big League,” “Little Giants” and even “Air Bud” were all feel-good sports movies. </div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
They couldn’t have possibly used up all the good ideas for movies like that. Did it become unsuccessful to make those types of movies? Unprofitable? </div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
I was watching “The Mighty Ducks” not too long ago, and I was eating up every cheesy line and remembering a day that was so full of innocence and potential. I want my godson to feel that same way when he grows up, but right now those kinds of movies just don’t exist anymore. </div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
Why are there no more “Rookie of the Year” movies? What about “The Sandlot”?</div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
There is no way that they are fresh out of ideas for movies like this. I refuse to believe that there isn’t a market for this type of movie. I mean participation and interest of kids and sports can’t be that low that a great movie in the vein of the aforementioned ‘90s classics couldn’t draw a profitable audience. </div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
I mean, there hasn’t been a golf movie yet, right? Why not get, say, the kid from the Sprint framily commercials to play a young teenager who buys some magical set of golf clubs from a garage sale that used to belong to Bobby Jones or Jack Nicklaus or heck, even Tiger Woods? The clubs instantly make him a world-class golfer, and he gets on the pro tour. “Gordon,” the goth weirdo that nobody really knows why he is around, could caddy for the kid. This could totally work. </div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
With the piqued interest in soccer throughout the United States thanks to the U.S. doing well at the World Cup, don’t tell me that some sort of underdog story about a kid making his way onto some all-star soccer team wouldn’t be a great movie. </div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
I can’t understand why this genre of movie has fizzled. I mean, it’s also been more than 20 years since the Mighty Ducks came out in 1992; why not remake it? It has passed that point where that’s a possibility. There is no doubt a plethora of child actors in the stable at Disney Channel would be willing to learn how to skate and film in Minnesota during the winter. </div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
Why can’t we make this happen? </div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
I want my godson and possible future children to have that same experience of a magical sports story that I did when I grew up in the ‘90s. </div>
<div style="font: 10.0px New Century Schoolbook LT Std; line-height: 10.5px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10.0px;">
And I have to admit that I would like to have some more movies to enjoy myself – the cheesier the better.</div>

<br />
If you haven't noticed, I haven't been making my weekly posts and that is because I have left Bottineau and moved back to the central Minnesota area. I originally had accepted a part-time sports writing job in New London, Minnesota at a small paper. However, after accepting that and working my remaining month in Bottineau I came upon another opportunity with the Mille Lacs County Times.<br />
<br />
I came back to interview for the position, making a round trip of nearly 1,000 miles in less than 36 hours to meet with two Jeffs. After this I made the move back to Minnesota as planned, leaving myself a week to unpack and find out which city I'd be going to--New London or Princeton/Milaca. After a second interview a few days into my new residence in Minnesota I was offered the job at the Mille Lacs County Times as a full-time reporter doing mostly sports, but some school/news/outdoors as well.<br />
<br />
I should mention that in the process of finishing my employment at the Bottineau Courant, I helped pick my replacement. Shortly before I left, Matthew Seimisch was picked to be that person. During my first few weeks back in Minnesota I did layouts and helped him learn that side of the job, since had little prior experience. Since, he has become nearly as proficient as I, and he appears to be doing a great job. I keep in touch with him via email fairly regularly, and have been keeping tabs on his work as well, and I'm pleased to say I think the Courant made the right choice. To follow his work check out the Borderlands Sport Report blog he started at http://bsrbottineau.wordpress.com/. Also he started a twitter feed for the Courant sports department, and you can follow that @CourantSports.<br />
<br />
I have now had nearly three months on the job, and made it through all of the (shortened) spring sports season and some of the summer months too. I have been slowly learning and adapting to this new job, and while things are quite different here, I feel like I'm learning everyday.<br />
<br />
I do miss the people, the job and the community of Bottineau everyday, and I'm sure I will for a long time. However, I also enjoy being close to family and living with my friends in our four bedroom house. I do have a 35 minute commute to work everyday, and have to do a lot of driving to cover my events on occasion, but at least I don't have anymore 360-mile round trips to Bismarck for a three-hour hockey game ;)<br />
<br />
I have been doing some golfing, but not nearly as much as I like or as I did in Bottineau. Also, I've only played basketball once since the move. Wednesday and Sunday basketball nights are one of the things that I miss most.<br />
<br />
I still plan to post on here on occasion, and I will leave all my prior posts with the photos I took during my time in Bottineau up.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed my more than 3.5 years in Bottineau, and I hope that I can transfer the wisdom and knowledge I gained there to my new location.<br />
<br />
Feel free to keep tabs on me @typhoonater467 on twitter. I also have a new blog set up for my new job, and you can check that out at http://thefullto.blogspot.com/.typhoon467http://www.blogger.com/profile/02143978665579867569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374998145557453657.post-26797092859221718822014-03-18T09:23:00.001-07:002014-03-18T09:23:43.617-07:00Say GoodbyeThis week I chose the song "Say Goodbye" by Beck. I chose it not only because the winter sports season is almost done, but also because this is likely my last blog post, or at least the last one from Bottineau.<br />
<br />
If you haven't heard I am moving back near home in Minnesota in less than two weeks. I have taken a part-time sports gig there. I know I will surely miss it here in Bottineau, and I appreciate all of my readers. I may begin the blog again when I start back in Minnesota, but likely I will probably just use it to keep an update now and again.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have a couple pictures from the fishing tournament hosted by the Jaycee's last weekend at Lake Metigoshe.<br />

I picked it because the Dakota College at Bottineau women's basketball team is going to be experiencing something brand new real soon.<br />
<br />
A win last Sunday earned the Ladyjacks a district title and their first ever berth in the national tournament, which begins on Monday, March 17. I was there for the game and snagged a few good pics. It was the only event that I have pictures from this week.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the six pictures and follow me on twitter @typhoonater467.<br />

Words like trenches, battle, war and fight get thrown around in sports all the time. So, if that is the case, the three area teams that are still alive in the playoff hunt (both Dakota College at Bottineau basketball teams and the Bottineau girls basketball team) will have to be "War Ready" if they wish to do well in the upcoming playoffs. The song is off the latest Rick Ross album "Mastermind" that came out yesterday.<br />
<br />
This past week I covered the DCB men's run in the Region XIII playoffs, which they won. I also covered the District 11 girls basketball tournament, and the Stars moved on to the region tournament from there.<br />
<br />
I have 27 photos to share this week, and please follow me on Twitter @typhoonater467.<br />
