It was an uneventful flight; we landed 30 minutes early and the bumps and turbulence during the flight were minimal at most. This led me to tweet how annoying the clappers were and that it was a top-10 pet peeve of mine. I mean, would you really board a flight… → Read More

FanDuel Fantasy Football: Conference Championship Picks
QUARTERBACK Blake Bortles, JAC at NE ($7,600): Tom Brady likely will be chalk after the Steelers made the Jaguars look vulnerable against the pass last week. However, Jacksonville was beaten on touchdowns that were perfectly thrown passes and its front four should get to Brady while dropping seven into pass coverage. Enter Bortles who has made up for some bad-throwing games by using his legs and… → Read More
