If you are a You ever see the final three of a beauty contest and think, “I would take any of them?” This weekend your…

The NBA has been thrown for a loop.  Some teams that are supposed to be great are just good.  Some teams that are supposed to be ok are great. Frankly, it’s getting hard for me to sort out.  Are the Hornets for real or is Chris Paul just trying to raise his stock?  Is Carmelo Anthony giving up on the Nuggets in a very subtle way?  What’s the deal with Chris Bosh, and, is his huge salary even helping the Heat? Without further ado, here are the puzzling power rankings for the middle of November.  Who would’ve thought we’d be…

Let me show you how ridiculous this mess is… Here’s a “real” power ranking from this week (not mine, on the left) and mine (on the right): 1. Saints          …

Couch Potato Blitz: Week 10 Predictions NFL week 10 has the potential for more drama than can be scripted when you stick a bunch of horribly stereotyped Italians in a house ( a la Jersey Shore). The Vikings may finally fire Brad Childress depending on the outcome of this game. Randy Moss makes his Titans debut – his third team of the season. Dallas searches for reasons not to quit on new head coach Jason Garrett. Tom Brady already outclasses Ben Roethlisberger off the field and will attempt to do it on the field.

The starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints is not your typical quarterback. He stands at 6 feet and 209 pounds, which is 3 inches shorter and 11 pounds lighter than average for the position. However, he does not let that get in his way.

You will not find him bench pressing 250 pounds; instead you will find Drew Brees challenging his body in new and innovative ways. Some…

I absolutely can’t believe that my newborn is now four weeks old. Things in our family feel normal again, having gotten back to the routine of playing with children, school, work, and taking care of a tiny babe. I’ve even started cooking and cleaning again. Not really fun, but necessary! I’ve struggled a little mentally in the last two weeks. I’m doing everything right technically, and losing weight at an OK pace, but I’m just not feeling strong and fit yet. Normally after a couple of weeks, I’ll feel like the smaller person I am inside. I’m just not there…
