by Kevin Burton Come and get it kids, quibble and bits, short takes, follow-ups from recent posts, bits of news….. A day or two after I wrote about the letter Z and its two pronunciations (zed and zee), Meriam-Webster made “zeitgeist” its word of the day. The dictionary says zeitgeist is “the …

So Long McCaffrey, Thanks For Nothing
by Kevin Burton For the briefest of moments, I thought, “Breece Hall.” I had just been blessed with the first pick in my sixth and last fantasy football draft for 2024. The Yahoo draft mechanism at first flashed “8th” for my draft order, then inexplicably changed to “1st.” Never seen that happen …
Crazy Great News, Then Bad News In Fantasy
by Kevin Burton Something truly bizarre happened to my fantasy football teams last week. They won, all six of them. My K&J Tornados team won by 35.08 points. All the others won by more than that! Now maybe that’s not such a great big deal. After all, one point – or in fantasy …

Turning My NFL Sunday Inside Out
by Kevin Burton I don’t know what that was last Sunday, but it was something, and it was personal. Was it a self-boycott, playing hooky, a tantrum ( I am good at those)? I guess it was the fantasy football version of the line “I’m just tired and bored with myself” from …
A Moment With Mom And Sweet Victory
by Kevin Burton My mother doesn’t know anything about fantasy football, but she knows a lot about perseverance. Both truths were evident Monday night. I was watching Monday Night Football when she called, and she was still on the line with me when the game ended. To set the scene: …
48 Hours The Movie, Starring Our New Cat
by Kevin Burton This is a happy cat story – thank God. I wasn’t so happy around mid-day yesterday though. Sunday after church we ran a special errand, to pick up Lakin, our new 6-year-old cat. The cat rescue place told us Saturday that she had just had her shots and we …
