The Tribune

A 9-7 week that was 12-4 before another series of fourth-quarter frenzies changed a few things.

Nonetheless I will take it - that’s how the NFL goes this season.

Oh, and hanging in with the grown-ups, my son Santxol went 8-8, not too bad considering he’s only eight. (Note the triple 8 straight). The flu continues to beat me like a drum. I’m on the mend though, I’m feeling better than I did. However I’m keeping it really short and sweet!
