Your welcome

Barbara, How is it that you and I have written the same article twice in the last month? We both wrote a Free Agency Tracker and now we both did the Position Battles. I feel like there are some wires being crossed. The last two articles I have been asked to do, you did them as well. I am guessing that we are somehow being assigned the same articles by Matt (the NFL editor)? Just wondering if you knew anything about it, I'm pretty confused.

Wrestling bears gets me ready to write some articles. I enjoy your articles very much. Look for my updated profile and stuff this weekend. Thanks for the note.

You are welcome. Coincidentally my son Brian is also doing some writing for b/r on the Browns. I has only had one article published so far but he is an rabid Browns fan and an aspiring writer. Problem for him is to find time between his day job to do more writing.

Of course, Barbara! It was well deserved. You did an amazing job on the free agency tracker. Thanks for all your hard work.

You might have written the dumbest article ever regarding the NFL with the "patriots Model Franchise...". Do you realize how hard it is in the NFL to accomplish what they have done in the last 11 years. Because you apparently lack common sense, let's review:.

hmmm let me see, over the last 11 years here is what a model franchise can only dream about accomplishing, yet the Patriots DID it:
5 Super Bowl appearances
3 Super Bowl titles
9 AFC East Titles
6 AFC Championship Games
5 AFC Championship Titles
12.2 win average in regular season
1 Assante Samuel Drop and 1 Wes Welker drop away from 5 Super Bowls titles in 11 years.....

yeah no longer the model franchise! Again what a badly written article and theory.

In your article "New England Patriots: No Longer A Model Franchise,"I demand you remove the passage that reads:
"And when the Hail Mary hit the turf Kraft was left standing all by himself in the suite as his own family ignored him and consoled each other. Excuse me? That kind of callous insensitivity runs through the franchise."
Say what you will about the players or the coaches, but do not attack the family of the owner.
I do not claim to be a family friend of the Krafts, however, I have been acquainted with several of them throughout the years.
They are the kindest people on this Earth.
Who edited this?

Barbara, I read Erik's (Patsoganda) column whose columns I often find well conceived. A good poster discussed how stupidly the columnists have been discussing the Gronkowski injury and I couldn't resist putting a plug and link in for your column. It lead me to wonder if guys dismiss your comments because you're a woman but I am very curious why you write for Bleacher Report as nothing in your biography suggests you participate in or know anything about sports.

Barbara. On your Tebow article I challenged you to name 2 OCs who were on the field. You did so, and it got me thinking about whether my perceptions were still valid. In watching games this week, it is clear to me that several guys who I knew 100% were booth guys are now down on the field for whatever reason. I suspect it is to get the play in faster, but regardless there they were, roaming the sidelines. Shanahan the younger was in the booth with the Texans, but there he is on the sidelines with daddy, (or daddy has him there to keep an eye on him) but he's down. And of course right here in Denver, McCoy was up when McHoodie was calling the plays, but he is down hugging Timmie T. whenever he completes a pass, and there are others.

Anyway, the thread has gone dead on the article, but I wasn't going to be a wuss about it. You were correct, and I wanted to acknowledge that on this point.

I like your NFL picks format and style.Plan on reading it weekly and correct your pick selections as a form of appreciation.

If you have any time to read my solution on the NFL 18 game schedule with the link being at my profile or:
