NFL/NBC Greed Leaves A Bad Taste
by Kevin Burton The NFL has just invited me, and you, to not watch football on TV. You want to be careful doing a thing like that. It would appear that I can live without it. This is a working hypothesis. Forgive me for not having it all thought out and laid …
Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, Jumping The Shark
by Kevin Burton America, do we hate the Chiefs yet? On second thought, let me extend the question to the rest of the world, since the NFL plays games in London, Mexico City and Frankfurt, Germany. World, have we had enough? It seems as usual I am behind the times, late to …

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: …
