Mules Move to 3-0 With Third Straight Shutout

weezel32

Sometimes, stingy can be a positive. Case in point, the Fairfield Mules’ defense. For the third straight week to open the season, Justin Townsend’s Mules did not allow a point and the Mule Train kept rolling with a 36-0 road win in Chester. Fairfield moved to 3-0 with the win. And while the stinginess is a continuation of a trend this year, they can add greediness to the repertoire as well, as the defense got in on the scoring act with two defensive touchdowns and a safety on the night. That helped supplement what is a pedestrian offering for this … Continue reading Mules Move to 3-0 With Third Straight Shutout

NFL DFS Week 2

weezel32

Here we go for week 2. Made money last week with a 36% ROI gain. This week, we got cash on the left, GPP-only on the right. I tend to enter my cash in a GPP or two as well. Too many times of having my cash lineup go off and wishing I had it in a GPP, so I throw it in a cheap GPP most weeks. Cash-wise, Jacobs will be the most owned RB this week, and Waller the same at TE, as we try to take advantage of the Draftkings pricing coming out before the late Monday … Continue reading NFL DFS Week 2

Freshmen Mules Maul Tigers In Olney

weezel32

Traveling to Olney for nonconference action Thursday, the freshman Fairfield Mules football squad moved to 2-0 with a 28-14 triumph over the Tigers of Richland County. Fairfield scored the first 22 points of the game, holding the host offense in check until late in the third quarter. Fairfield took the opening kickoff and drove to the Richland County seven-yard line before fumbling. That just delayed their first score, which came early in the second when quarterback Eric Rodgers (not Joe, not Joe, not Joe) found a streaking Jonah Easton in the middle of the field behind the safety for a … Continue reading Freshmen Mules Maul Tigers In Olney

Interesting Air: Catch A Livestream of Jason Isbell Saturday

weezel32

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are playing the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY on Saturday night. The folks over at Relix are providing a livestream of the show. Showtime 8:15 p.m. central. Isbell is simply fantastic live. I caught him first eight years ago playing a theater show in Carbondale, minus Sadler. Jason played lead that night and it was then I realized how serious his guitar chops were to go along with the songwriting. That was actually the 10th anniversary of 9/11. And of course I was in the front, with by buddies BC and Joe. It’s … Continue reading Interesting Air: Catch A Livestream of Jason Isbell Saturday

Worth The Read: No Depression on The Highwomen Formation

weezel32

I subscribe to No Depression magazine, which comes out quarterly with a hard copy. I rarely get to read them cover-to-cover, but if nothing else, their covers serve as fantastic art work generally. Over at their website this week, they have a story on the formation of the Highwomen, which for those who have been paying attention know I am rooting for so, so much. I am 100 percent behind this. The album came out last week. I have given it a few casual listens, but not rated it yet. I was already a huge fan of Amanda Shires and … Continue reading Worth The Read: No Depression on The Highwomen Formation
