The Weekly Blabber Mouth- NFL Picks Print E-mail

Here’s what I want people to do; lay off Bill Bellichick.

The call was brilliant, ya, brilliant.  

You’re facing fourth-and-two with two minutes left. Peyton Manning has been unstoppable in the second half and you have the Patriots offense with only two yards to pick up. Make it, cinch it, Manning stays on the sidelines. Game over. 

They didn’t make. It happens. When I saw what was happening as I watched the game I gaped for all of a split second, then I realized it wasn’t just a rare call for that situation, it was the only call Bellichick could make in that situation. 

New England’s coach remains the smartest coach in all of football.  

If he thought Manning could run the length of the field and score just as easily as he could from 30 yards out, then why shouldn’t we? 

Overall record to this point, 93-48

Gifts of hope, happiness make a difference

by MEGAN NORTHCOTE
Intern Lifestyles Reporter

Tiny faded pictures encased in gold swung from the branches of a six-inch bronze tree sitting atop a dresser.

Some were faces of little boys, others of grown men and women with vibrant smiles masked beneath the black and white, each picture swaying like apples on a tree, suspended in time.

“Is this your family?” I asked the little woman with soft curly hair and large round spectacles.

“Oh yes, that’s them. And those are my three boys,” the woman said, pointing a shaky finger toward a larger picture directly above the photo tree of three lean men in their twenties.

“They’re all dead now. Died of cancer,” the woman paused.  “And so did my husband.”

Beer sludge for the open-minded traveler 

by KELSEY OHLEGER

I think it is safe to presume that college students love beer.

They love drinking it: in plastic red cups, out of holes on the side of the can and through homemade funnels.

They love playing with it: beer pong tournaments, endless card games and chugging contests.

They love promoting it: neon signs hung in cluttered apartments, logos on worn-out t-shirts and embroidered on sweat-stained ball caps.

I have recently learned of a way to take this passion a step further by eating it.
