Rough at Roosevelt, Tebow Fatigue, NFL Picks

The Des Moines Roosevelt vs Des Moines Hoover rivalry heated up Friday night. Hard fouls, smack talk, and fans coming out of the stands like they're ready to throw down made for a tense atmosphere. Hoover enjoyed the night more, leaving with a two point win...

The CIML realignment for football is going to make it much harder on the Des Moines Metro schools, easier for others. Look for the new divisions announced Tuesday...

99% of the high school wrestlers in Iowa are good kids doing good things...

I like Tim Tebow. But ESPN is wearing me out...

When was the last time Tom Brady was the under-hyped quarterback going into a big game? Look for Brady and the Patriots to quiet Tebowmania. Patriots by 17...
Tebowmania.
I don't buy the Saints being a "dome team". Sure, better inside, but Drew Brees will be nearly as accurate at San Francisco. I'll take New Orleans on the road by 10...

I haven't cared less about a playoff game in a long time than Texans at Ravens.  Maybe it's not having a memory of either team from childhood. Maybe it's the lack of a dynamic quarterback. Or maybe it's just because all the other games are so much more interesting. Ravens by 7. Yawn...

The Giants are hot. They're now the sexy upset pick. It won't happen. The Packers will win. I'll say by 4, but it could be more...

The Hawkeyes won't upset Fran McCaffery much Saturday. I expect Iowa to play with the kind of intensity missing the past two games, both embarrassing setbacks. Michigan still wins, but Iowa will keep fans interested...

Iowa State is in for a long day at Kansas. It won't be the first time, or the last...

Hey Keith, have you seen the defense in action for San Fran?
They will blitz Brees all day and he will spend most of the game on his butt. I pick San Fran by at least 10.
