Mom

"Mom" by Garth Brooks is easily one of the most powerful songs I have heard in a long, long time. It is really a tearjerker, and is going to be a staple on Mother's Day, wedding days and any other celebration of mothers everywhere. I am tempted to buy Garth Brooks' latest album "Man Against Machine."

As for fantasy football, I'm currently 6-5 in one league, and on the cusp of being 7-4 in another. Players are getting healthy, and I like my chances coming up on the playoffs here.

 As for T.O's Picks, I went a terrible 4-6 two weeks ago, and since I'd pretty much be picking a ton of NFL games, I'm going to call it a season. I went 57-23 in nine weeks of picking.

I have a lot of pictures from the past two weeks to share. I hope you enjoy.
