So, my first real post on Wegspool was about the NFL Draft in 2018. I ran a series of Draft 101 Basics which still apply. I encourage you to revisit those posts to get up to speed on the basics. However, I will go over a quick review here before jumping into to this year’s […]
After a nice month off, I’m finally back to give some tips and maybe a story about dating in these streets. For those of us in the northern states, the spring flirted with us just a bit, but now we were slammed with another winter storm. So, the big spring dating season may have been […]
With March Madness behind us, I’ll finally focus on the NBA again. The NBA Playoffs give us the best basketball the world has to offer. Finally, the most talented players on Earth play for something with maximum effort. The 82 game season is a real grind, and as such, it is hard for teams to […]
We wrap up our season with the Masters picks. We will dial back our episodes with a couple of future episodes on the Kentucky Derby and NBA Finals, but not weekly.

Game 1 – Another Cavalier Miracle #1 Virginia needed a miracle to get to Minneapolis, but their defense and resilience in the face of complete failure in 2018 has been inspiring. #5 Auburn by default was this year’s Final […]

Just in case you were not glued to the television like me on Saturday and Sunday, I’ve written up the games for my large Pool. It was an incredible weekend of basketball. We really were treated to extremely high quality basketball and drama filled endings. That is why I love this round. Teams are competing […]

Given the lack of upsets in the tournament in the 2nd Round, we have a loaded Sweet Sixteen this year. Some would argue that the tournament is less compelling without a Cinderella. However, I would make the case that having the best teams in the country actually face off on the court is much better […]
For those not in the Wegs Pool itself, I’ve put in my commentary for the first two rounds of the tournament below. It has been a crazy 4 days in the greatest tournament the world has ever known. Much apologies for not getting an update in after Round 1. However, I had to attend to […]
