This morning I wrote about how Dean Karnazes finished running his 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. He later wrote over at his website, Endurance Is, about his next goal. I was wrong; he’s not going for the seven continents in a week. Instead, he is going to...

Week 9 NFL Picks

by Blaine Moore | Sports

Rest is awarded this week to Arizona, Carolina, N.Y. Jets, and Philadelphia. I think that Pittsburgh and Minnesota are going to bounce back from last week’s losses and really put the hurt on Denver and San Francisco. Peyton Manning is going to show once more...
