I had this week's introduction written in its entirety before I learned of John Madden's passing on Tuesday evening, and I join with everyone in mourning his passing. Madden towers over the world of football like a colossus, and I find there is very little I can say about the man that doesn't sound or … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 17, 2021 Season

Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 15, 2021 Season
As the regular season winds down, I am chasing one goal: Finish above 0.600 in both total correct picks for the season and total points for the season. I am knocking at the door of 0.600 in terms of picks – just one more correct pick on the season, and I'd be sitting at 0.60096 … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 15, 2021 Season
Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 14, 2021 Season

Now that I don't have any other pertinent blogging responsibilities, I can once again devote some actual attention to my weekly picks, instead of tossing them together at the last minute and posting them without explanation. This has been a deeply strange season for confidence pooling, and that's all because (as you have … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 14, 2021 Season
GBBS 2021 – The Final
You know, I thought this was a pretty damn good season of Great British Baking Show. Unlike last season, when I pulled up into the final column not entirely sure why I was still watching, save for blind loyalty, I legitimately enjoyed watching the show again. This season was fun!

GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Patisserie Week
I have made it a point to avoid fawning over the show in this space. I watch GBBS because I enjoy it, and I write about it because I enjoy it, but I don't enjoy anything uncritically. I think reading fanboy love letters to various entertainment items is a complete waste of time, and therefore … Continue reading GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Patisserie Week

GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Free From Week
Hoo boy! In an inevitably vainglorious attempt to untangle this week's massive and massively complicated judging controversy, where shall I even begin? As I see it, the problem with unpacking this controversy is the same as the problem that caused the controversy in the first place. Anyone who struggles as much as I do to … Continue reading GBBS 2021 Power Rankings – Free From Week
