A FEW MID-SEASON THOUGHTS:
Even though I’m having a winning year with marginal net-positive results, I still can’t help but feel like the first half of the NFL season has been a disappointment.
Perhaps it’s just an emotional overreaction to chaos and unpredictability from week-to-week. As sports handicappers, we’re supposed to never get emotionally involved in games and outcomes. But I’ve always been very open about my feelings and reactions to what I do and the way games play out.
Speaking of emotions and reacting to wins and losses, few comments about last week’s Chicago-Baltimore game are mandatory here. In Week 8, the Bears opened up as +6.5 point underdogs. The Ravens were favored mainly because QB Lamar Jackson was announced as the starter. Obviously, Baltimore is a much stronger team with Jackson (even though I still think he’s a great regular season player, but less so in the playoffs–but that’s another topic for discussion later). I liked the Bears at +6.5 no matter who was starting, and so I made a cash wager on them. On Saturday, I turned in my contest picks (at Westgate and Circa). I have 10 contest tickets, at $1,000 each. So, I have ten tickets to fill out each week. Just as I was about to make my entry official, the announcement came that Jackson was *not* starting (a few cappers paying close attention got a hint of this early Saturday when it became known Jackson did not work out with the first team offense in Friday’s team practice–a sure indication he was unlikely to start). Sure enough, the line plummeted to Chicago +2. The line dropped 4.5 points, which is huge on an NFL game. For contest picks, getting the best of a 4.5-point line move is an automatic decision. So, I put the Bears on all ten contest tickets. I was also kicking myself for not betting more money on the Bears earlier, at the generous line of +6.5.
Sports outcomes don’t turn out like we expect, and the Bears-Ravens game was the perfect example of that (add the Miami-Atlanta game, which was just as bizarre–how did the Dolphins come in and destroy the Falcons after looking so bad lately?). In the CHI-BAL game, Chicago jumped out to an early 6-0 lead after two impressive drives stalled in the Red Zone. Still, this bet looked like gold. The Ravens offense looked lost. Then….
….well, you know the rest. Baltimore won by 14 points, covering the spread easily, despite backup QB Tyler Huntley under center combined with a Ravens’ defense that had been steamrolled in nearly every game this season. And the fucking Bears…..ugh.
I looked at that final score and just shook my head. All the contest tickets were tainted with a loss, and I lost cash money as well. Fortunately, I didn’t have lots of cash on me or have a huge amount of money in my online accounts. Had I known I could take advantage of a 4.5-point line move, I would have bet the game for a very large amount. So, I may have actually saved money from a much worse defeat.
It’s hard to forget a game like that where all the stars seemed to line up perfectly for an easy winner and simply move on after a loss. Even doing everything right sometimes blows up in our faces. Hence, I’ve gradually downgraded my sides betting for precisely this reason. The NFL week-to-week seems ridiculously volatile, more even than it used to be, and I’ve been around for more years than I care to admit. Fortunately, there are many other wagering options on these games. That’s where I’ll focus more of my attention going forward.
Now, it’s on to NFL Week 9 – and of course the first game on the schedule is……BALTIMORE at MIAMI.
Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

ANALYSIS AND PICKS FOR WEEK 9:
BAL-MIA Player Prop: BAL RB Henry UNDER 18.5 rushing attempts (-130)
BAL-MIA Player Prop: BAL RB Henry UNDER 90.5 rushing yards (-115)
Two of the NFL’s most unpredictable teams over the last few weeks will face off on Thursday Night Football. When we can’t predict an outcome with any degree of confidence, it’s usually best simply to take the dog–plus the points. This is especially true with a home team getting more than a touchdown. Currently, the Ravens are -7.5 favorites over the Dolphins in Miami, which seems like a lot of points to give for any big favorite with major questions while also playing on a short week. Then again–do we really want to bet on the Dolphins? Will the real Dolphins and Ravens please stand up? I lean to MIA +7.5, but will pass on making a cash wager. The total also looks a bit high at O/U 51, FWIW.
Lamar Jackson’s injury pulled a major mind fake on bettors last weekend. But he’ll likely start this time. Will Jackson quickly revert to mid-season form, or might four weeks of inactivity take time for the QB to adjust? Again–who knows?
Where value may exist with ample evidence to make a few wagers could be with fading All-Pro RB Derrick Henry. The Ravens rusher typically attracts money on the OVER props, with some justification. However, Henry’s O/U projections tend to be slightly inflated, which means taking the UNDER on various rushing props when the situation is favorable. This situation looks especially favorable tonight for Henry’s season-averages to remain flat and for him to fall under on both the rush attempts (18.5) and yardage (90.5).
My reasoning goes–these are two of the slowest-paced offenses in the NFL. Baltimore ranks 31st in number of offensive plays per game, at 53 on average (Miami ranks 30th). A slower pace and fewer plays on both sides of the ball means fewer opportunities for the offensive stars and padding to their individual stat lines. The Ravens rank 22nd in rush attempts per game, their low ranking more due to playing from behind several times this season and being forced to abandon the run late in games. At 133 YPG rushing, Baltimore has fallen from their customary spot in the top three, now ranking 8th among all teams. For Henry to reach his numbers and go OVER versus Miami, he’ll have to get 70 percent of the carries and pick up a similar percentage of team rushing yards. He may get close to those percentages, but I’m counting on the final tallies to be a little short.
QB Jackson’s return likely means more confidence with the passing game. Jackson is also likely to add approx. 6.5 rushes on his own based on his prop projections, thus reducing Henry’s workload. The Ravens also have enough offensive targets to spread the ball around, and hopefully keep Henry’s attempts to a modest number.
It’s important to also note Henry’s heavy use in the last two games — 24 rushes in Week 7 and 21 rush attempts in Week 8, which was just 4 days ago. That’s 45 carries in just the last 11 days, and now the Ravens play on a short week. It’s a small sample size, but in Henry and the Ravens’ two TNF games last season, his workload was lower than average — just 16 carries for 68 yards in one game and 13 carries for 46 yards in the second. Perhaps that was by design, not wanting to wear the star down. I’d be surprised to see Henry fed the ball another 20 times with so little rest. He did score two TDs last week, but had only 71 rushing yards. Henry’s season average are lower than his career average — just 109 carries for 510 yards in seven games, which equals 15.5 rush attempts per game and 72 YPG. He’ll need an extra 4 attempts and 19 additional yards rushing to break tonight’s prop numbers. I’m betting the — no.
Obviously, a long breakaway could kill the yardage prop, and we’ve seen Henry do this in the past versus weak defenses. Miami’s defense also inspires little to no confidence, but these wagers aren’t rooted in the Dolphins’ strengths but rather speculate on the Baltimore game plan which we hope will be to distribute the ball more to other Raven players, and for Jackson to enjoy some success passing the ball. Henry should factor in, but I’m counting on this not to be an MVP night. A short week, perhaps some tired legs with Henry, and a more diverse game plan, combined with very high projections on the Ravens’ RB looks to be a good fade this week.

REVIEW: “A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE” [NETFLIX]
A House of Dynamite is the hottest new show on Netflix. It’s so impactful that some top government officials are now commenting on it. They’re denying its realism mostly — which probably means it’s frighteningly close to being accurate. Yes, it could happen. The movie — and particularly the ending — has triggered a broad spectrum of reactions from political insiders and the general public alike. This isn’t surprising given the deep divide within our nation and the chronic depth of disinformation poisoning healthy discussion and made constructive debate difficult if not impossible.
Directed by the Oscar winner of The Hurt Locker (along with Zero Dark Thirty) the film and story are signature Kathryn Bigelow at her very best, reflecting her own unique brand of style and storytelling. Fast-pacing, jittery camera shots, imperfect angles across paper-stacked desks, awkward pauses and occasional interruptions, and devotion to the tiniest details are Bigelow’s cinematic trademark. Reminiscent of the best film adaptations of Tom Clancy’s novels a generation ago, she’s carrying that legacy and level of authenticity. Bigelow clearly hasn’t lost a step returning to the all-too familiar subject matter of another intense political and military conflict, though this crisis is not played out on battlefields, but rather beneath florescent office lights burrowed in bureaucratic concrete mazes and newsroom-looking situation rooms operating 24/7/365 under the government’s alphabet soup of letter abbreviations.
On a typical weekday work morning, out of nowhere, with no warning, the United States instantly comes under nuclear attack. An intercontinental missile flashes up on the giant scoreboard-sized screen inside the war room. It’s pointing straight at the American heartland. The warhead launch originated in a remote area of the Pacific, but no one inside our government knows for sure which global adversary gave the order to fire; nor is it known if the missile was shot by accident or intention. North Korea, perhaps? The Russians? China? A rogue terrorist? Nuclear impact approaches. We have exactly 19 minutes to decide what to do. And by the time you’ve read this far along, probably closer to 17 minutes….and counting down. What do we do? What’s your decision?
Time to call the President.
Getting important and powerful people in charge talking to each other on the phone isn’t as easy as it seems. If and when a “surprise” attack does ever come, it’s truly a surprise. More like a shock. Five minutes are wasted on everybody asking each other — “Is this real? Is this happening? It’s a drill, right? It must be a mistake.” Someplace else, the President could be speaking at a public function. The Secretary of Defense might be in the bathroom shaving. The national security duty officer is away from his desk getting a cup of coffee. The CIA’s regional expert on North Korea could be taking a personal day off. *Surprise* attacks don’t give any warnings. And now, you’ve got perhaps 16 and a half minutes to make the most important decision in your life. It may be the important decision in this nation’s history, or in the history of human civilization.
But go ahead — take your time. No pressure.
This is the intended point of A House of Dynamite. It’s not meant to entertain, though it often is spectacularly so. This is a film made to make the audience think, and think out loud — as in talk about it later. It’s a story that could happen. And if such a thing does happen, this might be close to how it plays out. We may be watching the preamble to the final chapter of humans living on the planet. The world might end not with the push of a button, but because someone who is key in the chain didn’t pick up the phone.
Bigelow’s movie does have a few flaws, and and even some minor annoyances. But these were small distractions which can easily be overlooked what’s otherwise and intensely thought-provoking film everyone should seek out and watch. Most interesting about Bigelow’s staccato scripting and exhaustive pacing (written by Noah Oppenheim) is the unusual process of repeating the same climactic 19 minutes until boom and doom three times in succession. However, each version is shown from very different vantage point and characters, each shaping his or her own opinion on the crisis. This point is critical. I won’t give away much else here, except to comment now on the ending — which will contain intentional vagueness for the benefit of those who haven’t seen it yet.
The decision as to retaliation, and when, and where exactly, and who to fire missiles back at is an excruciating one. An unidentified nuclear missile is about to hit America. So, what’s the plan? The “how to” manuals our government wrote on this question have been written, revised, and updated over seven decades, costing billions. Those manuals won’t help us now. Who has time to open up heavy binders and start reading instructions with all the war room telephones ringing, the alarms going off, staffers crying, military personnel rushing top brass off into underground bunkers, and officials frantically trying to reach their loved ones to take cover? This is the reality of how things would likely play out, even at the top with all the decision-makers. Ponder that.
Nuclear scares have been addressed in films before. From the solemn Fail Safe to the satirical Dr. Strangelove, we’ve imagined what those terrifying moments might be like for those entrusted with our fates in their hands. However, only now do we fully see the real dangers of too much dynamite in the house and not nearly enough time to decide how precisely to use that immense responsibility without getting 8 billion people killed. The ending isn’t a pretty bow with a cozy wrapped-up story that makes us all feel good. In fact, there is no ending, nor should there be. The epilogue is the discussion. The encore is in the mind.
The missile hits in less than ten minutes. And time’s running out. What’s your final decision? Do we fire back? How many missiles? What are the targets? And then, what will be do when 100 more missiles are fired right back at us, leaving us perhaps another 19 minutes time until the next round of destruction? Then, if anyone’s left, who makes the decision on round three?
You may be wondering why I posted this photo (below) to go along with my review of A House of Dynamite. I’ll explain.
Sixty-three years ago this week, on October 27, 1962 a submarine officer named Vasili Arkhipov was serving as chief of staff of a Soviet submarine group. He was aboard one of the flotilla as the executive officer. When U.S. forces dropped depth charges near the Soviet Union’s nuclear submarine during the Cuban Missile Crisis, one of his submarine crews believed that war had begun and prepared to launch a nuclear torpedo against United States forces. Arkhipov refused to authorize the launch, though he was trained and instructed precisely to do so in such a situation. His brave decision prevented the use of nuclear weapons and a first strike that almost certainly would have resulted in a similar American response, thus leading to an all-out nuclear war. Over the years, many American (and later Russian) military and government officials agreed that Arkhipov may have saved the world. Historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., advisor to President Kennedy put it bluntly:
“This was not only the most dangerous moment of the Cold War. It was the most dangerous moment in human history.”
Today, we live in a time when half the population has little or no knowledge of mutually-assured destruction (MAD). The Cold War is an unknown. It may take film and other art forms to remind us all of the dangers. We do need movies about serious subjects that make us think, evolve, and perhaps even become wiser. Thanks to Bigelow, A House of Dynamite might help us do exactly that. Hopefully, a few future leaders like Vasili Arkhipov will be in charge. if that terrible moment ever comes.

MEETING “LASSIE’S MOM”
Even though she died a few days ago, only now did I just learn of the death of June Lockhart. If you grew up watching 50s and 60s television, you remember her as *everyone’s* mom. Her beloved television shows included Lassie, Lost in Space, Petticoat Junction, plus many character roles in popular movies, usually typecast as the ideal mom. She embodied the perfect image of the ideal mother–and the portrayal was authentic. She was the real deal, and as nice as she could possibly be.
I got to meet Mrs. Lockhart once. The story is worth sharing.
Back in the mid-1980s, I worked as a waiter in a Downtown Dallas steakhouse. It was a popular hangout mostly for pro athletes. I waited on many of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, coach Dick Motta, John Elway, Bubby Brister, John Stockton, Paul Hornung (of the 60’s Packers), and even Mickey Dolenz (of the Monkees). Those are the ones I remember, but one celebrity stood out from the rest. Well, *two* celebrities actually, as I’ll explain.
She must have been about 65 at the time. She came in with a group of ladies, including one much older lady who sat the head of the table. They were seated in the middle of the dining room. Instantly, I recognized her face. But I couldn’t place it. Being that this was a fancy steakhouse, the dinner was a couple of hours long. At some point another waiter identified her from one of her popular TV shows. I’ve forgotten the details, but later I was chatting with Mrs. Lockhart, who very much enjoyed the attention. When the rest of the restaurant staff found out, they came to the table and she shook our hands, told a few stories, and even signed autographs (I got one, which is posted below). It was a really pleasant exchange. Mrs. Lockhart even mentioned that she was recognized in public all the time, but rarely did anyone know her *real* name. Over the years, she just became known as “Lassie’s Mom.” It was a dog-mother tagline she would embrace for the rest of her life.
In case you don’t remember, *Lassie” was a female collie and a huge star in her own right. In each week’s show, she saved the family from a terrible tragedy. Lockhart may have been a “great mom,” but her parenting skills could sure use some work. The family and little Timmy always seemed to get lost in the middle of nowhere, fell off of cliffs in need of medical attention, got robbed by bandits, were trapped inside the burning barn, cornered by a pack of wolves, and always needed hero-superdog “Lassie” to come the rescue on the *unluckiest* family farm in television history. Gee, Mom–maybe it’s time to move! And don’t forget Lassie!
The kicker to the story is the older matriarch among the ladies, stoically positioned at the head of the table. She looked to be about 80. She was elegant, but also reserved. She paid little notice to “Lassie’s Mom” who was getting all the attention from the staff. To be perfectly honest, no one spoke much to her. As their party was leaving, someone else came up to their group (I think it was another customer in the dining room). He recognized this elegant older woman. Turns out, it was none other than Greer Garson, who received 7 — yes SEVEN — Academy Award nominations for Best Actress over her illustrious career, the fourth most-nominated woman in history — including a win for Mrs. Miniver in 1942. Garson was long-retired by the time she came into the restaurant and I got to serve her. I later learned she lived the last decade of her life in one of the luxury high rise penthouses at Turtle Creek, a ritzy old money section of Dallas about two miles north of downtown. In the 40’s, British-born Garson was Hollywood royalty, one of the best-known actresses in the world. And, here she was being upstaged by “Lassie’s Mom.”
W.C. Fields once famously said “never work with children or animals.” Well, that advice certainly wasn’t true for this beloved actress.
June Lockhart died last Tuesday. She was 100 years old.

PEACH FLORALS WITH A HINT OF ALUMINUM:
WINE IN A CAN ?
Well, this is a first.
Check iit out — wine inside an aluminum bottle.
Until this past weekend while at a local grocery store I’d never seen anything like this before. Glass bottles are the norm in wine packaging. I’ve also seen clay bottles. I’ve seen plenty of jugs and boxes, though such wines are to be avoided at all costs. But I’ve never come across light aluminum, which reminds me of the packaging of canned beer.
Before you think I’m leaping to any rush judgements or raging into my usual criticism, let me share more about my experience with this particular wine. I’ll also comment on drinkability, and perhaps most interesting — how this could be a great *change* for wine production and shipping (and cheaper net costs in addition to reduced environmental impacts). BTW, I do not profess to be an authority on this subject. I’m just sharing my personal experience after a couple of days of buying, drinking, and thinking about this new wine discovery.
The first thing I noticed was the price. It’s marked down from $19.99 to $6.97. I’m always suspicious about sale pricing. Many stores mark it up, then mark it down. That way, the consumer thinks their getting a great deal. Jewelers are the worst at this kind of thing. But, we see it everywhere, including wine pricing.
There’s no way I would pay $19.99 for an unknown bottle of Chardonnay. I probably wouldn’t pay half that, unless I knew something about the producer. So, I was skeptical from the start about the *spectacular value.* But hell, for $6.97 how bad can it be? Note: If you buy 4 or more bottles at this store, tack on another 10 percent savings (so, each bottle could be as cheap as $6.28 a bottle). You can see the upside here. Bigly.
I bought two bottles, and returned home. Saturday afternoon, I unscrewed the cap (no corkscrew!) and poured my first glorious glass. Shocker! The wine was quite good. Very drinkable. After a few more glasses, I concluded this wine was a terrific buy for the money. The next day, I went back to the store and bought a case (12).
Here’s more of what I learned (after doing a bit of research):
1. This wine called “ELEMENT[AL]” is made by Bogle Family Vineyards, which is a big producer of drinkable and affordable wines.
2. From their website: “Element[AL] is a lightweight, shatterproof, infinitely recyclable aluminum wine bottle, 80 percent lighter than glass, and does not affect the taste.”
3. The bottle size is deceptive to the eye. It looks much smaller than the normal bottle. However, right there on the label is notification that this packaging contains 750 ml, the same as a conventional wine bottle. It really took me several “let me see this again” looks to convince me this is the same volume, but it is.
4. The weight is NOTICEABLY lighter. This might be its biggest selling point. Obviously, this could be a game changer for wine production and shipping, cutting substantially on costs. The aluminum is also unbreakable, and very convenient for outdoors, mobility, etc. It even fits nicely into a standard cup holder. I suppose a serious drinker could guzzle it straight from the bottle, but that’s not something I would do (well, maybe not — we’ll see….I’ve still got a dozen bottles to go!).
5. I have no direct knowledge of this, but I do suspect many wine drinkers will be very reluctant to change their habits. I would have rejected this instantly, except for the sale price. It will be very hard to change opinions, though this packaging works very well for low-end wines. I hope we see much more of it.
6. Aluminum bottles were introduced in early 2024, which means we’re about 18 months into the experiment. If they really expected to get $19.99 a bottle for this, it’s doomed to failure. However, anything up to $12 might tempt curiosities. And for less than $7, this is a steal.
7. Finally, it’s sad but the red tag “clearance” probably means this wine failed to sell. So, the store (Albertson’s) is discontinuing it. I hope this isn’t the case, which means I better rush out and buy another case!
My conclusion is — aluminum packaging is a great idea and something I’d like to see more of, especially on economy wines or large production, and especially big social events where the unbreakable bottle makes for mass convenience. Given pricing in industrial production of glass and the high-costs of shipping, this more lightweight option is smart. I do hope it spreads and other winemakers consider this option. If you see this wine (or others) with such packaging and it’s an affordable price point, my advice is to give it try.
This was a surprising new discovery and a pleasant wine experience.

I won’t pretend to know much about pop music, nor do I have the subject knowledge to write about contemporary artists. Most people of my generation aren’t into the latest hit songs. I’m beyond guilty of ignorance and indifference, as well.
Indeed, how many people over the age of 50 complain that — “today’s music sucks?” When it comes to music, we’ve become our parents — hell, make that our grandparents. I couldn’t name any of the music atop of the charts right now, even if there was a cash reward. If you share this naivete, then please READ ON. I think you’ll get something great out what I’m about to share. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for.

MY QUICK TAKE ON THE ILLUSION OF PEACE IN GAZA
Almost everybody wants peace, that’s is, aside from innumerable extremists scattered throughout the Middle East–which includes both Palestinians and Israelis. They aren’t going away anytime soon. Don’t be fooled by innocent people who mean well dancing in the streets, because there are quite a few you don’t see on the news hiding out and plotting the next chapter…. and it’s not going to be pretty for anyone.
