Good Calls, Bad Calls - Time to Review Week Two
I'm bradley and it's my job to keep you from being the sucker at the table. Let's put it this way - if the NFL were a girlfriend, you'd be suggesting she see a professional to help her deal with that bipolar behavior she's exhibiting. I mean, WTF? Last week da Bears hang 51 on the Panthers - who, OK, were not exactly a defensive juggernaut. So this week, their home opener, they lay a three point egg on the Vikings - also a defense not to be confused with the '85 Bears. The Gi

Would You Jump Off The Brooklyn Bridge Too?
I'm bradley and it's my job to keep you from being the sucker at the table. Momma bradley did NOT raise any addle-brained children (Of course, you may challenge that assertion if you wish). Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, my mother would find out I did something completely stupid, like cutting school to play milk carton hockey on the roof of the apartment house garage across the street from our elementary school.

You Can Bet On It
I'm bradley, and it's my job to keep you from being the sucker at the table. There's nothing funny about forest fire season. In many places in the country, it's been a dry summer - and that means, even well managed forests are going to burn. In Oregon, the Spokane fire is making life dangerous for firefighters and uncomfortable for citizens. Why do I bring this up?
