NFL 2014 Crystal Ball Picks- Week 6

I recently decided to start rewatching Weeds, and I can't help but wonder if I jinxed Adrian Peterson or not. 

Week 6 NFL Power Rankings

Five weeks in the books and already we have no undefeated teams remaining. Parity is rampant in the NFL these days, as even the most talented teams in the league already have blemishes in their records. Remember when the Patriots won every single game in 2007, but lost in the Super Bowl to the wild card Giants? That sure was funny!

NFL 2014 Crystal Ball Picks- Week 5

The NBA is coming back and the baseball playoffs are officially underway, but we're talking football at the Nugget Blog! Is Tom Brady washed up? Are the Ravens and Cowboys for real? Can the Bengals and Cardinals remain undefeated? And is anyone going to win the NFC South or can we just eliminate them already? Happy October y'all!

Week 5 NFL Power Rankings

My top four teams were all on bye this past week, so it will be much of the same at the top. So crank open your favorite bottle of Drew Bledsoe's wine and sit back for the first week of the new quarter of our fresh NFL season. 

NFL 2014 Crystal Ball Picks- Week 4

Don't kick yourself if you have a major surgery or an endangered spices to save this Sunday, because you ain't missing nothing but the most sleep-inducing slate of football games in the history of ever. And it starts in two days with Awkward White Boy QB vs Boring White Boy QB on Thursday night! Take your pick on whether or not thats my man Kirk or my homey Eli. 

Week 4 NFL Power Rankings

Are the surprising 3-0 teams better than the "we knew they'd be there" 2-1 teams? Its hard to say. I'm just glad Chip Kelly isn't my boss. God forbid he made my do my job that I earn millions to do.

NFL 2014 Crystal Ball Picks- Week 3

The over/under for NFL players arrested, suspended, benched and/or deported for this week is 8.5, take the over.

Week 3 NFL Power Rankings

Am I tempted to rank the Ravens in the top spot? Damn right I am! The Ravens are back BAYBAY! Could this week be the week where Archie's little boys take the top and bottom spot? That sentence could be interpreted in a lot of different ways.

NFL 2014 Crystal Ball Picks- Week 2

If we learned anything from Week 1, its that we can't learn anything from Week 1. We also learned that Roger Goodell is an asshole.

Week 2 NFL Power Rankings

Week 1 got a black eye from the release of the Ray Rice video, but we can't ignore the football that was played. I already talked about Ray Rice and the league's response, so now its time to do our weekly rankings. Where did your team rise or fall after their first game? 

Policy Abuse

I wish I could be focusing on purely the football side of Week 1 in the new NFL season. I wish I could be talking about a fantastic Broncos-Colts game, a wild finish in Baltimore that wounded up going against my guys, a troubling second half in Miami for Brady and the Patriots, Tony Romo single-handedly losing to the 49ers and the impressive performances by teams like the Titans, Vikings, Bills and Jaguars. Instead, I'm heated by the video TMZ posted involving Ray Rice and his then-fiance Janay Palmer, this time inside of the elevator. It's more disturbing than ever, and it is imperative for Commissioner Goodell to finally do something about it.

NFL 2014 Crystal Ball Picks- Week 1

Remember when Roy Halladay threw that no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds in the first postseason game he ever pitched in? What about when the New York Giants shocked the world and beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, giving New England their first and only loss of the season? Do you remember when we found out that Bruce Willis was dead all along in The Sixth Sense? Well guess who called all of these shocking moments in history. That's right, your's truly. That's why you need to follow this blog as I delve into the season, week by week and pick the winners of every single game this season. 

EDITOR'S NOTE: I have picked none of the surprises mentioned above. I had a gut feeling about the Patriots loss, but kept that hunch to myself. The Sixth Sense shocked me more than a lot of things in life, totally off guard.

The Naked Picture Scandal of 2014

It's time to get serious here at the Nugget Blog and talk about the true travesty behind the leaked nude pictures of a handful of female celebrities this past week. Society is being flipped upside down, and the only people who can change it is us.

LeBron might be going back to Cleveland, but here at the Nugget Blog, we're talking football 24/7 these days.

Are We There Yet?

The NBA offseason is sometimes as entertaining as the regular season itself, or at least the first four months. This year is possibly the most exciting free agent class in history, with the Miami Big Three, Carmelo Anthony and a handful of up and coming young stars hitting the market. Where will they all end up? The Nugget Blog is ready to tell you all of the answers (we have none of the answers)!

Top 300 Songs of All-Time

Music. Its a passion of mine and a popular passion for most of mankind. We all have bands that we love because we all love them. We all have our personal favorites that haven't seen commercial success (or maybe they have, but we'll swear we knew them before their fame). Maybe we love indie music, country music, classical music or the blues. We use music as a muse to comfort, soothe, inspire, spread joy and everything in between. We listen to it in our headphones and through our thousand dollar stereos, we listen to it at concerts and we listen to it in our minds. Music is everywhere, music is everything.
