Mid-Season Awards

 


As we enter Week 10, we've hit the mid-point in the NFL Season. So below are my mid-season award winners.

NFL MVP: Alvin Kamara
There are a lot of ways you could go with this, with Russell Wilson, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes all looking good for contending teams. But I'm going with Kamara, who has 465 yards rushing and 60 receptions for 561 yards receiving to go with eight touchdowns. He's been a rock in carrying the Saints, who are in first in the NFC South and looking like a Super Bowl contender. He's been a great and reliable weapon on the field, so I'm going with him.

NFL Rookie of the Year: Justin Herbert
Another field where you could make a case for a few people. Some young receivers like CeeDee Lamb, Tee Higgins, and Justin Jefferson have made big contributions, and Joe Burrow has looked as advertised as the quarterback for the Bengals. But I'm going with Herbert, who was thrust into a starting role in Week 2 and has produced incredible numbers. He's thrown for 2,146 yards and 17 TDs passing, adding 166 yards and two TDs rushing. He looks like a stud who will be an anchor in the league for years to come.

NFL Coach of the Year: Mike Tomlin
The Steelers are the league's only unbeaten team, going 8-0 to start the season. That made it an easy choice for me to pick him as Coach of the Year to this point. He's got the Steelers rolling and looking like a top contender.

Fantasy MVP: James Robinson
Another rookie, and one who would be on the short list for Rookie of the Year. Robinson was an undrafted free agent for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and for more fantasy teams, and he's delivered RB1 value. He's run for 580 yards and five touchdowns, catching 27 passes for 225 yards and two TDs. Robinson has been a big win for teams who've needed value at running back, and is an easy choice through nine weeks of the season.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve
