Every Friday in the “My Weekend” blog, I’ll tell you what’s upcoming for me and make predictions to earn your respect.
As always, if you want to respond directly to me, you can e-mail me at doug@ktar.com. If you want to right a post on this blog, please do. I think it’s a great idea for you to interact with other Doug & Wolf listeners. Just know I’ll never respond to posts because I think that’s your area.
Today I’m going to balance movie night and Dodgers/D-Backs. Every Friday, I devote to my daughters. We have a tradition of going out to dinner, going to a friends, or sitting on the couch together watching a movie. I’ll probably tape the D-Backs game and watch it later tonight.
I think tonight’s game is the big one of the three. With Webb pitching poorly, Haren has to be the man. I’d also like for all of us to hold hands in prayer: LORD, PLEASE HELP OUR COUNTRY CHOOSE THE RIGHT LEADER, PLEASE KEEP OUR TROOPS STRONG AND HEALTHY, AND PLEASE HELP CHRIS YOUNG BUNT AND STEAL BASES.
Saturday is a dream for me. I really do love my Ohio Bobcats and they play on ESPN at 9a against Ohio State. I’m getting up early to watch and the whole house is on lock-down–I guess you could call it a compound. I know they’ll get blitzed but just to be one of those teams that put a scare into one of the big boys would be great. I want the week leading up to OSU/USC to be talking heads saying, “What’s wrong with the Buckeyes? Coming off their performance against Ohio, they don’t look very good.”
Saturday will be easier than yesterday. Thursday night was rough for me because I love the Redskins but I guaranteed a cover for the Giants. I hate it when I have to do that. I need the Giants to win to earn credibility while I sit there cursing under my breath at Daniel Snyder for hiring Jim Zorn.
You’ll always know where I stand. I will never apologize for rooting for the D-Backs, the Suns, and the Redskins, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to call them out when they fail. If I disagree with a decision they make, I’ll demand explanations. I don’t think it’s wrong to root for them all and hold them accountable.
Saturday night I’ll be working with ASU. My pre-game show starts at 5:30. If you’re going to the game against Stanford, I’ll be in the Sun Devil Plaza next to the arena on the East side of Sun Devil Stadium. Stop in and say hi and meet the family.
Sunday is all about the NFL and wrapping up the D-Backs series.
I’ll pick five games a week. My rules are simple, I can pick any game on the board for credit from you against the spread and tell you what I think about ASU and the Cards.
For the local teams I say ASU beats Stanford and the Cards go 1-0. I’m really worried about ASU getting up by two scores and then laying an egg in the second half but I think they’ll hold on. Give Wolf credit on AZ. I think they’ll win but I’m not guaranteeing it like Wolf. Until I see the Cards clean up the turnovers and penalties in the regular season, I’ll believe more. They’re still better than the 9ers though.
For the hard core fan, I went 4-1 last week. Do you think I can keep it up? I’ve already got one game right with NYG but I’ll still write it down for you.
NYG -4 v WSH
CIN -1 1/2 @ BAL
WAKE -8 VS OLE MISS
BALL STATE -7 VS NAVY
OKLA ST -16 1/2 VS HOUSTON
Have a good weekend.
