AFC Champions for the 2013 season, Denver Broncos. Not the game I anticipated. I expected/hoped it was going to be a closer battle, but Tom Brady did not bring his best game to the Mile High Stadium and the New England defense allowed way to many first downs! As always, you can't discount the ability of the Patriots in the fourth quarter, but it was to little, to late. Peyton Manning orchestrated two drives that took up nearly one whole quarter of the game! Very impressive!! It's hard to keep...

I really enjoy my property. Not so much my house, it's just a house, but my property is a like a paradise to me. I live on four and a half acres on the edge of the city limits. All the wild life that used to live all around the area has been pushed out to where I live, along with my neighbors properties.

It was a refreshing question, and an honest answer. I hadn't really considered how shallow I had allowed my mindset to become. I scratched at it a...

I wish I was a betting man!

The divisional playoffs turned out as I anticipated.

Colts/Patriots-Decisive victory by Brady and the Pats. Andrew Luck? Only luck he had that day was his name. Too many turn overs. Pats win 43-22. Not much of a contest.

Seahawks/Saints-The game started with nearly monsoon conditions. Almost a guarantee that the Saints passing game would be non-existent. After half time though, the weather calmed and the Saints started...
