Wild Card Weekend

Raiders at Texans (-3.5, O/U 36.5) The game we all have been waiting for, the first game of the NFL Playoffs.  In one corner we have Rookie Connor Cook and in the other we have the $72M dollar man Brock Oslweiler.  Ok fine, this isn’t the exact game we were hoping for when the season started.  You would assume Derek Carr needed to have an MVP type year (he did) for Oakland to make its return to the playoff and JJ Watt needed to have another monster year on the other side of the ball (which he did not).

Just End The Season: But what about next season?

Since day one this franchise has been special to me and all jokes aside they actually are good movies.  The original is classic, so many good underrated quotes, and while 2-4 aren’t Oscar worthy 5-7 were awesome action movies, no question!  Fast 8 will have a different tone without Paul Walker (RIP) but I expect more of the same from the rest of the gang.  This small LA family has taken the world by storm the past few years with many Continue reading Pop Culture: Coming Soon to the Movies
