Going Bowling 2018: Predicting the outcome of every college bowl game
Read more...
Here we are again. Once more, college football’s bowl season is upon us. And once again, I embark on my annual Quixotic quest of picking the winners of every single bowl game. You’d think I’d get sick of tilting at this particular windmill, but no one ever accused me of being sensible
While I've had some success in the past, make no mistake - I have no idea what I'm doing.
It's an opportunity to watch a bunch of college football teams about which you know nothing. It’s a wonderful dice roll; you never know if you might happen upon a game where something unprecedented takes place. In fact, I have a long history of stumbling onto the wildest, most unexpectedly entertaining bowl matchups of each season. I expect more of the same this year.
And with that - let's go bowling.

2018’s recommended reads: Our favorite books of the year
Read more...
It has been yet another fantastic year for the written word, with many tremendous literary offerings hitting shelves in 2018.
Reviewing books is easily one of the best parts of my job. I’ve been lucky enough to read dozens of books over the course of the past year. While I’ll admit that I tend to seek out works that I know will resonate for me – and hence usually enjoy the books I review – there’s no denying that there are always some that particularly stand out.
This is not your traditional “best of” list – that’s not my style. Instead, consider this a collection of recommendations. These are suggestions; I enjoyed them, so I thought that you might as well. Bear in mind that this is not a comprehensive list. I’m just one man – there are scores more books out there, exceptional literary works that I simply never got a chance to read. That said, I feel confident that these are quality selections.
So are these the best books of 2018? I don’t know – it’s all subjective. What I can say is that every one of these works captured my imagination and my attention … and perhaps one or more of them will do the same for you.
In no particular order, here are my recommended reads from 2018.
