Welcome back for another season of the Great British Baking Show Power Rankings! I started doing these Power Rankings for the 2019 season, and that's a real shame because that seems to be the exact season that the Great British Baking Show started having real problems. That year, the most salient issue was that the … Continue reading 2021 GBBS Power Rankings – Cake Week

Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 3, 2021 Season
Wild Overreactions, baby! Let's take a look at how much better I did once I set my mind free! What's that? One more correct pick and only two more points than my disastrous Week 1? I spent my entire Week 2 column in service of a stupid, self-indulgent rhetorical gimmick that I only I thought … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 3, 2021 Season
Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 2, 2021 Season
Alright! Wasn't that an awesome Week 1, everybody? Was that not an excellent reminder of how much fun watching games of professional football is? Is it not one of life's simple pleasures to marvel at the superhuman feats of athleticism on display during each and every snap? Does a full slate of Sunday games not … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 2, 2021 Season
Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 1, 2021 Season
Welcome to the first Confidence Pool column of the season! To those of you familiar with my feeble, doomed attempts to share good pool picks with the world, I hope you're ready to kick back and snicker at my horrendous decision making. Those of you who aren't familiar with the Confidence Pool format are, uh...Welcome! … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 1, 2021 Season
The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – NFC North
Chicago Bears If you're a Bears fan, these are the good times. I'm serious! This period, from the time of Justin Fields' drafting until the time he is named undisputed starter, is the period in which he can serve as a cipher onto whom the fans may project their future hopes with impunity. Once Fields … Continue reading The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – NFC North
The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – AFC North
Baltimore Ravens It's no fun to be the man! You win one unanimous MVP at the helm of a 14-2 season early in your second season (and your first season as the undisputed starter) and all of a sudden everyone expects that you're gonna have unanimous MVP, 14-2 seasons for the rest of eternity. That's … Continue reading The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – AFC North
The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – NFC West
Arizona Cardinals Gee, one of these things is not like the others, am I right? When I look at the NFC West, I see four teams with playoff hopes and three teams with a realistic shot at taking the division. The Cardinals have everything they need to succeed this season, but they also had most … Continue reading The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – NFC West
The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – AFC West
Denver Broncos The problem with writing any sort of season preview in any sport is that eventually, at least one player whom you publicly expected great things of is going to get injured in the preseason, thus missing some or all of the coming season after you've already spoken on it. Last year, I predicted … Continue reading The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – AFC West
The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – NFC East
So, here's the thing; this week has been brutal on the child-rearing front. Our poor little guy is crying most of the times he's awake, and often refuses to go to sleep unless he has had an extensive soothing session. That much is manageable during the day, but when it's 4 AM and you've been … Continue reading The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – NFC East
The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – AFC East
What a difference a lack of Tom Brady makes! For almost all of the last 20 years, the AFC East has been home to the Patriots and three other teams shuffling between various stages of floundering, with but a small handful of Wild Card berths to provide the occasional illusion of progress. Now that Brady … Continue reading The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – AFC East
