Commentary on Sports, Society, Dating and More
For the past 3 seasons, I’ve gone game by game predicting all 32 teams’ records. Despite less research, I thought I would do it again. Here is my NFL Preview in this COVID-19 season. Note, there are 7 playoff teams in each conference now. Divisions AFC East Patriots (9-7 – 4 Seed) – Yep, even […]

Yep, it’s been a while since I’ve done a straight up Dating by Wegs post. However, I know my loyal readers long for a good laugh on a Friday, and for new readers, maybe you’ll get a kick out of this segment of the blog. I’d like to catch everyone up on where I’ve been […]
With all the calamity in the world, I thought it would be a good idea to write about an important day on the calendar. Father’s Day may fall on the 3rd Sunday of June every year, but for some reason, this year seems a little more meaningful. My relationship with my father has been complicated […]

Shut Up and Play or Time for Change?
People that know me understand that there is no one more passionate or consumed by sports. Sports has been such a big part of my life, and truly, they continue to be.
