My absolute favorite dish(es) about Thanksgiving is my mom’s apple and pumpkin pie. It’s the best two desserts that my mom bakes. Her secret? The crust.

The Big 12 Conference has always had an issue with refereeing when it comes to college football. This year specifically, it has gotten much worse.

A month ago, I briefly mentioned about how the NCAA was complaining about the California legislation. Since then, the NCAA has appeared to change its mind.

My picks didn’t fare so well in week 9. However, Baltimore and Dallas came through for me to finish above .500. I have also never gone this far into an NFL season finishing every week above .500.

Two weeks ago, I wrote about how I was waiting for a breakout week with my picks by selecting 12 or more correct picks.

Then I went 12-2 in week 8. I almost had back-to-back weeks but fell short. I had two picks (Carolina and Kansas City) that I shouldn’t have picked.

While the Border War is only returning to college basketball, it is still a renewal of one the greatest rivalries in college sports.

My NFL picks continue to do well. Through six weeks, I have been above .500, which is great. Because usually by now when I did this in college, I would have gone one week already where my picks went below .500.

Texas and Oklahoma will duke it out in the Red River Showdown. The winner will get to take home the Golden Hat.

The NCAA needs to take some time to do some self-reflection. The NCAA has multiple problems, and I don’t even know where to begin.

I didn’t fare as well as I would have hoped last week. I did finish above .500, which is always my goal. I have the Los Angeles Rams and the Chicago Bears to thank for that because I was 7-7 prior to those two games.

My NFL picks are faring pretty well. I feel like I have made some smart picks overall. Although, when I was looking back at my Week 2 picks, I could have made two or three better choices. Overall, I am still happy with my prediction record.

The US Open is over, and it wasn’t half bad for my predictions. Week 2 of the NFL is here, and I will take a look at two games. Plus, college football is already heading into week 3.

The NFL is back in action Thursday, and I am excited. With that, I am going to make picks each week in the NFL and see how well I do. I started in college for fun on Facebook sharing my predictions, so I wanted to share the fun with our readers.

After midnight Wednesday, the US Open will be halfway finished with the second round.

In a flash of an eye, August is upon us, which means school has started. When school starts, this means the US Open is about to begin play.

College football is back, and so is Texas, or so they claim.

While I agree mostly with James LaCombe’s column (”Better late than never, Rockets make their move,” The Daily News, July 21), I am probably more concerned about James Harden and Russell Westbrook playing together than he is.

Well, the Houston Astros keep on surprising everyone right before the MLB’s 3 p.m. trade deadline.

The Big 12 Conference should rename itself after last week’s media days.
