Chicago looked like crap the first half of yesterdays game.  Figured Green Bay would have it put out of reach by the third quarter and I'd call it an early night.   Then.... :o

Article titled "Affordable Cigars to Warm your Winter" just popped up.  Lets see what sage advice it offers.

Did mention an AB that I haven't heard of

It was a fun fourth quarter. I'm 2-0 for yesterday's picks. You won't like my picks for today @Travellin Dave, so maybe I'll keep them to myself.

Eagles, Jags and Pats for me.  49ers too depleted, Jags on a roll and Bills have just been playing poorly, Patriots have been clutch and the Bolts have just been squeaking by.

I'm taking the exact opposite for today. I'll just speak to the last game. Maye is very good, but he exploded too far, too fast. His schedule was easy this season. Let's see what he can do under some real pressure. All this talk about MVP is premature. I think he's gonna be one of the greats, but he ain't there yet.

Today is Sunday, Jan. 11, the 11th day of 2026
with 354 to follow.

The moon is waning. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mercury and Uranus. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn and Uranus.

On this date in history:

In 1785, the Continental Congress convened in New York City.

In 1861, Alabama seceded from the United States.

In 1922, at Toronto General Hospital, 14-year-old Canadian Leonard Thompson became the first person to receive an insulin injection as treatment for diabetes.

In 1935, aviator Amelia Earhart completed the first solo flight made between the Hawaiian Islands and the American mainland.

In 1949, Los Angeles noted a record-setting snowfall, a rare event for the city's semitropical climate. A three-day storm in early 1949 dumped more than a foot of snow through much of the San Fernando and outlying valleys.

In 1964, U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry released a report saying smoking cigarettes is a definite "health hazard."

In 1984, the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated a $10 million award to the family of Oklahoma nuclear worker Karen Silkwood, who died in 1974.

In 1990, martial law, imposed during the June 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-democracy movement, was lifted in Beijing.

In 1996, the Japanese Diet elected Ryutaro Hashimoto, head of the Liberal Democratic Party, as prime minister.

In 2002, Ford announced it planned to lay off 35,000 employees, drop four car models and close four plants.

In 2014, former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon died at age 85. He had been in a coma for eight years following a massive stroke.

In 2020, China reported its first known death from what was then considered a mysterious outbreak of viral pneumonia. The disease would come to be identified as a novel coronavirus -- COVID-19 -- that, after one year, killed nearly 2 million people worldwide.

In 2024, the Biden administration announced $623 million in grants to develop a network of electric vehicle charging stations throughout the nation.
