I won’t lie. I didn’t watch a lick of the NFL this weekend. Not because I don’t love my football but because I was more concerned with the baseball playoffs. I probably watched a total of 3 minutes of highlights and only because it was the Dallas Cowboys. Other than that, it was all about the Cubs and seeing some great playoff baseball.

And how about those Cubs getting a game four win over the Giants? I’ll take it! 1908 was an even year too! #BeliEVEN

From the looks of things, Theo Riddick was a beast getting two TDs. If he’s on your fantasy teams, those are some nice points. Good pickup this week.
