    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    Predictions before the season would be wild guess work. Each year teams lose talent and add it. I can give you a playoff prediction by midseason, absent injuries that unbalance a model, but that's about it. You'd be surprised. When I made money at it I kept five years of draft coverages on...

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    Time to get back at it after a hiatus of sorts...here goes: It took giving NE a 4.5 edge to move the betting public to a near dead heat in Vegas as the split in support of that is running 51/49. New England is a little dinged and KC is playing about as well as you can with their talent, which...

    Epicurus' riddle

    I don't know what your answer was aimed at because of the large, block quote that preceded it, which covered some ground. Why would you? Of what value is that choice except to underline your imperfection? Again, number isn't freedom and knowledge isn't limitation, except in that numerical...

    Epicurus' riddle

    I can't tell what it is in particular you believe that sums, which was possibly the point of declaring that after a rather large block quote. It doesn't follow as a conclusion from what it follows literally. That's not really freedom. That's just a peculiar way to describe ignorance. The point...

    Epicurus' riddle

    It means He won't desire it. Here's another way of answering you on the point of will and limitation...I can't add two and two and get five because I know how to add. Now does that limit my will or freedom? Only in a sense that knowing limits. Before you know better anything you put in your...

    Epicurus' riddle

    Yes, you seem broken up about it. But what was it you offered again? I'll wait while you don't consider it.

    Epicurus' riddle

    I don't find a contradiction in suffering, God's perfect goodness and omnipotence.

    Oh, sorry, I thought you said something...I mean, I knew it was mathematically possible.

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    That one didn't surprise me, but the Detroit game was more of a surprise on the SL side, after a handful of offensively fruitless games. It's that sort of season. Same sort of thing with Washington. Up and down week again for me.

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    I like all of your picks. I'll try to set out a little more later, as time allows. If Manziel has one of those games he could upset the SF applecart and that's the wildcard in the pick. I think the Giants are the better team and Miami has struggled mightily to produce points. Detroit is better...

    Epicurus' riddle

    Yeah, I don't agree. I think it approaches the subject as well as you can in an attempt to fit the infinite into boxes. It would be true if you understood fruit to have many particular qualities. But who'd do that? I'd say God is perfect in understandable qualities, virtues. We can't...

    Ask the Staff Anything About RF

    No, it was another one. I'll find it when I have more time and let you know so you can course correct it.

    Ask the Staff Anything About RF

    Why is there an admonishment in the religion section to be mindful of the rules of conduct, with a link to the rules that doesn't work (the link, that is...I can't say if the rules work)? Or is this a test designed by a Jesuit?

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    I had a lukewarm one as well. Should have stayed on a couple of guesses, but I went with the courage of my lack of conviction. Well you know what they say, "That's why they half-*** play the games." I may have embellished.

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    And don't forget, Seattle wasn't playing then the way it is lately...also, while Green Bay was a solid victory at the time, it's a bit less impressive in light of their steady collapse following the Denver exposure.

    Top Ten Movies By Decade 1930-2010

    2000-2010 LOTR: Return of the King: the best of the films that were, collectively, the Star Wars of another generation and an homage to a distant one. Lincoln: brilliant. Almost single handedly saves a weak decade in film. The Last Samurai: compelling story telling and Cruise doing a fine...

    NFL 2015: mid-season through the Super Bowl

    I don't see it as low. They played too poor a game against the Saints and it cost them a bit. Else, it's about opponents. They've won, what, fifteen games in a row now, but only played a couple of teams with records above .500 in that stretch. I think that if anything, I've given them a...
