While watching the Chiefs-Chargers game on Thursday night, I decided something. The Kansas City Chiefs are bad. Really bad. I’m not surprised they haven’t had a lead all season. Frankly, I’m surprised they managed to get a win. As ridiculous as it was when Steve Spurrier said that Alabama could beat an NFL team, I think Alabama would at least give the Chiefs a game. Anyway, since the NFL for some reason decided that a Chiefs-Chargers game was worthy of a national audience, I (like 95 percent of America) have started this week 1-0. As for the rest of the picks…

On my trip to Maryland I went down to the Harbor Place Mall and Fudgery.

As I was walking through the mall I saw the Fudgery located inside the Harbor Place Mall. So I walked over and was greeted by a confectioner and master chocolatier. He offered me a sample of this chocolate gold and was hooked. Now I have never been here before and I was just excited to get some freshly made fudge which I was watching a very talented confectionery chef making and folding on a marble slab not more than 10 feet away from me with shiny cooper kettles in the background.

But whenever their season inevitably ends, be it Thursday, Friday, this weekend, or, if a miracle happens, after the World Series, they’re sooner or later going to have to deal with the elephant in the room. The Root of All Evil in Yankees Universe. The reason nobody on the team is hitting. Alex Rodriguez.

It’s All In the Logo so says a Joe Brackets, a friend and contributor for AskHoffa.com.

In the same year the cartoon bird made its return to the Baltimore Orioles’ hats, the Orioles returned to the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. It’s probably mere coincidence, but, through my keen powers of observation, I’ve noticed that the Orioles aren’t the only team that’s changed had a sudden change of fortune on the field in the same season they’ve made a logo change in recent years.
