Super Bowl Pick

Seattle Seahawks/New England Patriots: the compelling rematch over a decade later of the infamous pass that lost a Super Bowl, both teams completely new(?), and likely focused on other things. Their regular season stats are close without any noteworthy discrepancies, both having defeated a team from Los Angeles in the playoffs, both defences shining at opportune times. Seattle looks like the better team and they defeated two strong division rivals to make the Super Bowl, the Rams did seem like they might win, but the 'hawks just kept on scoring more touchdowns. I haven't been that impressed with the Patriots' offence during the postseason, but their regular season stats are crazy, it would be cool to see Drake Maye have a huge game, he's so young and incredibly fortunate. Sam Darnold looks so much like an old childhood friend though, who was often mistaken for my brother, and he's been playing exceptionally well, how could I possibly not pick him? Seattle's won 4 of their last 5 meetings and 7 of their last 10, but New England won the only game that counts, late in the 4th, 28-24. It seems like the best thing I can do for the Patriots is indeed not to pick them, since I haven't picked them three times and they've come up with three huge playoff wins. But at the end of the day, isn't that a bit crazy, bizarro mysticism likely not a factor? Seattle does look like the better team. Picking the Seahawks, hoping it's close.

When Free Trade between Canada and the U.S was first announced, there were massive protests. 

People didn't want American goods crushing Canadian markets. 

Now, the children who grew up with those American markets, have to once again develop homegrown Canadian and Québecois markets. 

Québec's lucky, they've been focused on buying Québec for decades (and they produce quality merchandise). 

If Québec can do it sans problème, there's no doubt English Canadian artists and entrepreneurs can too. 

As long as banks are willing to back them up. 

It's kind of exciting to think of what people might come up with!

Dispatchwork

An aging pop culture enthusiast takes a break from his earnest studies, the consistent immersion in series and shows gradually decreasing as time slowly passes.

With so much to choose from and so little time the consumption of narratives loses its allure, but the habitual excitement at one time manifested still ecstatically dwells in his fatigued consciousness. 

Recommendations are made with animate care and melodious gusto, as several friends mention dozens of shows that have been released in recent years.

The list grows larger and larger an interminable agglomeration, the florid temptation to check things out at times seductive yet still dismissed.

Music slowly fills the void definitively left by the showcased absence, as limitless access to countless albums harmoniously etherealizes newfound grace.

But then one day a special edition is spontaneously ordered on DVD, to continue to build an old collection still awkwardly missing constituent parts.

The edition itself must be inspected at which point curiosity materializes. 

But some of the episodes seem somewhat dull. 

And he worries he's become a snob!

I liked how he finds the emergence of potential snobbery most distressing as it arises, an open-mind key to the random consumption of multivariable media ad infinitum. 

As it dawns on him that he's been overlooking and indeed dismissing shows he once liked, a nerd mid-life crises effectually disturbs his tranquil patient solemn solace.

Indeed the ridiculous must once again be humbly entertained with inclusive vision, the manifold intricate oblivious impeti ludicrously clarifying postmodern life.

Snobs often producing debilitating affects while shortsightedly obliviating upbeat creativity, their minds having lost the childish wonder they coldheartedly critique with bitter indiscretion. 

The rest of the edition is eagerly devoured with reverberating lighthearted august interest. 

Bringing back Bob Cratchit to mind.

I thought the coolest Bo Nix moment came when Denver was playing the Giants earlier on last season. They were losing something like 26-8 with around 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter. I had to meet with a student for 15 minutes so I stopped following the game, thinking it was over. My phone dinged shortly after the session started, but I didn't look at it right away. I eventually decided to check the message and it was a friend texting to mention that "Nix was ballin'", on his way to a huge fourth quarter comeback win, Jake Plummer style. That was one of many huge wins this season. Nice to have a QB in Denver again. Indisputably, Go Broncos Go! 🏈

Winning the Super Bowl would have been way more amazing, but the Broncos almost went 19-0 this year, with a Divisional Round home playoff win. 

That's freakin' awesome!

Excelsior

Obsessed with grades a curious squad introspectively comports themselves inquisitively, compulsively attuned to meticulous vibrations shrewdly endowed with austere form. 

Studiously aligned to exacting rhythms they reflexively defy comatose expediency, and proactively consume everything they can instructively regarding knowledgeable life. 

Intricate methodologies furthermore facilitate domestic tasks and fruitful expenditures, as elaborate meals exhaustively enable vast culinary insights into grand gustation. 

Public transit indeed suffices as automobiles require monthly payments, and work conflicts with reading and study as esoteric guidelines promote seclusion. 

They note the habits of other people as peculiarly generating otherworldly impulses, which seem to have less novel interest and lack the allure of imaginative exhibition. 

Until one day they're voluminously tasked with audaciously attending a music festival. 

At which they encounter points of view.

Randomly delivered with disengaged artistry. 

It's fascinating to watch as exoteric alternatives creatively emerge with dynamic flair, and democratic evaluations of discursive thought begin to outmanoeuvre hierarchical remonstrations. 

Instead of vitriolically delineating opposing viewpoints as distasteful, the raw newfound classifications deconstruct traditional liturgies. 

As they listen to conversations which don't have a point and aren't competitive, the resulting nonsensical energetic whimsy magically encourages inclusive insights. 

I liked how the utilitarian exposure led to less venomous codes of conduct, and the accidental immersion in illogic subterraneanly diversified stilted constructs. 

It reminded me of my youth in the country when I hung out with people who had no use for school, and I used to love listening to their odd discussions which were so very different from life at university (they called me dainty). 

They were like unique unconcerned orchestrations naturally overflowing with authentic life, people who actually cared about people, instead of just writing books about how that's a great idea. 

Cool flick.

NFL Playoffs, Conference Championships Picks

New England Patriots/Denver Broncos: picking the Broncos! Defence! Stidham! Payton! Go Broncos Go!

Los Angeles Rams/Seattle Seahawks: the Conference Championships are upon us and the NFC West still has no winner, Seattle claiming that sublime right while the Rams furiously and openly contest them. The Rams are the only team to have beaten the Seahawks since Oct. 5th, Seattle’s run indeed most impressive not that Los Angeles hasn’t also played well. Both of their games in 2025 were decided by a total of 3 points, the Rams winning 21-19 in Week 11, the Seahawks emerging victorious 38-37 in Week 16. The Rams have won 3 of their last 5 with 2 of those games going to overtime, and 6 of their last 10, with three of those games decided in OT. These teams are so close that Seattle only leads their all-time rivalry by a game (29-28), although in terms of postseason contention, the Rams have won both their matchups. Honestly, who knows, who knows who’ll pick up the win, these teams are way too close to call and it should be amazing seeing them play again for the Conference title. Los Angeles has played well enough to win and won in bitterly cold weather last Sunday. But the Seahawks made it look easy against a fierce 49ers team last weekend at home. I’m picking Seattle for the NFC West Title. Hoping it’s another close thriller.
