Playoffs? Are You Kidding Me?. Top Story - October 2022.
Hello readers, I hope you all have been enjoying my recent posts. It’s been a while since I’ve written an NFL blog, but I’ve decided to give it another try. We are almost a third of the way through the 2022-23 NFL season and so far, there have been a handful of teams that did not make the postseason last year but have showed some noticeable improvement and/or displayed flashes of upside that seem to indicate they could be contenders when January arrives. I’ve identified seven such teams and consulted my (imaginary) magic eight ball to seek answers to the question… will (insert team name here) make the playoffs this season?

UEFA Nations League serves only lower-ranked countries
When UEFA Nations League was introduced it received much skepticism. Since it was something completely new, quite expectedly. After two whole editions behind us and the last one in the final stages (only the final four of league A winners and C league relegation battles yet to play), it’s fair to say that not everyone is pleased with it. Don’t get me wrong. It has more positives than negatives, but one thing stands out the most. It conveniently serves lower-ranked countries while it produces more potential problems for the “big ones”. Let me explain why.

OU-Texas Week 2022
My Facebook Status is about to read: "Sorry in advance guys if we lose Red River, I broke down and broke unspoken tradition, I had What-A-Burger during OU-Texas Week. I rationalized it to myself by thinking we're basically supposed to lose this one going in with a Concussed Starting Quarterback and and Backup that didn't stick around at Pitt despite finally having Kenny Pickett out of his way. Plus Sonic sucks by comparison and Braum's doesn't serve lunch menu til 11 am."

Mahopac Trio Bring Home Gaelic football Crown from Ireland
Photo by Suzanne Dolan In February, 24 girls were selected from the Gaelic Athletic Association of NY to play in the Féile Gaelic Football Championships. The tournament played on July 2 in Dublin, New York was obviously a long way from home and had a pretty tall order competing in Europe’s game. Still, the Irish didn’t thumb their noses at their little American sisters and were genuinely welcoming, according to Mahopac’s Gianna Dolan. “Everywhere we went, wearing the New York gear made me feel like a celebrity. People wanted to meet us and take pictures. It was a wonderful experience, and I am proud to be a part of the team.” So the field was probably just as obliging to send New York home with the Irish version of a participation trophy. But these girls had other things in mind and weren’t quite as hospitable as guests.

General Observations On My Interest In Sport
Introduction In the post at the end of this I initially thought I had covered every Vocal Community with my writing but there were six that I had not touched, so I thought it would be a challenge to, so to speak, complete the set. After this in the Vocal Unbalanced Community I will have four more to do, but as these areas have not caught my attention before there may only be one story from me in each of these communities.

NFL Week One - My three biggest Surprises
To attribute week one of the NFL’s 2022 regular season a ‘surprising’ one would be a weighty understatement. I struggle to recall another season in recent memory to which held so many storylines, upsets and diversions from pre-established narrative. These surprises range from Baker Mayfield’s struggles within his supposed ‘revenge game’ – or Rodgers’ utter inability to keep the game close against his divisional rival. Chief amongst my surprise are three games in particular. Though, of course, it is a gross generalisation to pinpoint my shock to three games, I feel these set were the most egregiously unexpected.

White Plains High School Athletes to Remember
Photo by Tim Reckmann White Plains QB ready to Step into Starting Role White Plains Quarterback Jeff Avery looks back to last year’s game against Suffern as his high point. "It was the most playing time I got—cleanup duty in a rout," said the two year backup. But the inevitable roster turnover has him ready to take the helm and make a mess of opponents this fall.

Snowflake's Sons
Fun Fact: There are 3 men with some derivative of my name in my bloodline. My father, (the one who cursed me with the Dolphins and their second longest active playoff win drought) and his father, a Lions fan (the longest active playoff win drought). A combined 71 years of playoff futility between 3 generations. What a legacy. (My hypothetical progeny will most assuredly have very normal names: Emily, Michael, Jeff, something that was still popular post-world war I)
