In the last week or so, we had the announcement of the 2022 NFL schedule. Now that we know who will play whom and when, we can start predicting wins and losses.
I keep my predictions over at Some Fun Site. View results of previous football seasons.
How they actually did was
Browns was close, Washington was not. Record prediction is not very reliable

It is time once again to update Some Blog Site readers on the results of my Some Fun Site project to create a more accurate football prediction method.
The 2021 NFL season is over, and here are the most accurate methods for predicting regular-season game results (wins-losses):
I thought the Home Field Advantage factor would come back into play this year, after being diminished last year due to lack of crowds, but oddly enough it did not, and the biggest factor was how the teams did last year.
If you think you have a formula that can predict the winner of an NFL game better than 62.8% of the time, let me know and I’ll add it to the list.
(For the ideas behind the methods, please visit the Some Fun Site page.)

Okay, okay, it is 2022 at this point, but the results are headlines as 2021 because they match with the 2021 predictions made in 2021 for the 2021 season. Also, the results are not all-haiku, just the predictions were. A more accurate title would be “Results for the All-Haiku Predictions made in 2021”.
Before the bowl games commenced for this past college football season, I made some predictions and some more predictions. Here, for your reading enjoyment, is the tally of those predictions. Note that the results are not in haiku form, in contrast to the predictions.

Based on the popularity existence of last year’s article predicting bowl games in haiku form, I present to you this year’s all-haiku bowl game predictions. Still America’s only all-haiku college football bowl game predictions.
These are listed in order of date (earliest first). Some picks are whom I think will win, and some picks are whom I want to win. I’ll leave it to you, the reader, to decide which is which.

Since football season has started, I’ve been catching some of the games, and thus I’ve seen the NFL logo a few times.
It’s been the same logo for a couple years now, but the problem with it is just now bothering me.
If you look at the logo, pay attention to the bottom point, in the middle. See how the “shield” surrounding the NFL acronym is nice and symmetric, with a sharp point right in the middle?
Now see how the NFL letters are fitted in a similar shape as the shield, except the bottom middle point (the lowest part of the ‘F’) is not in the middle.
Why couldn’t they notice that when they were making the logo and do the alignment then?
But since they didn’t, I went ahead and did that for them.
I think it’s better.
Elam picked up the quiver, With the chariots, infantry, and horsemen; And Kir uncovered the shield.

In the last month or three, we had the announcement of the 2021 NFL schedule. Now that we know who will play whom and when, we can start predicting wins and losses.
I keep my predictions over at Some Fun Site. View results of previous football seasons.
How they actually did was
Bills were close, Rams was perfect, and the other 3 weren’t even close. So much for that.

The recent Super Bowls have had awful logos, but someone finally noticed and fixed it for next year. Or maybe they got a new designer – one who cared about readability and meaning.
In case you’re not familiar with how they name Super Bowls, they use Roman numerals. Not sure why, but it’s their thing.
So Super Bowl 54 is really Super Bowl LIV. And here’s the logo:
See how it has the L and the I and the V?
But that’s wrong – that’s actually the logo for Super Bowl LV.
You see, they like to put the image of the Lombardi trophy in the Super Bowl logo also, and it is mostly shaped like an “I”.
It would make sense for me if they did that on purpose, but they’re putting a thing that looks like an “I” where an “I” should be for Roman numerals, but they don’t want it to actually be an “I”.
That’s not how logos are supposed to work.
And here’s Super Bowl LIV, in case you’re wondering:
To me, that looks like Super Bowl LIIV. And that’s even worse because it’s not valid Roman numerals.
But, fret no more – they fixed it for Super Bowl LVI. Someone finally realized they shouldn’t have the numbers be the same size and color as the trophy if they didn’t want the trophy to actually be a number.
Different colors, overlapping instead of in line – no confusion. Much better. Give that new designer a raise.
In case you’re wondering, it’s been bad for the last few years. Super Bowl 50 and before were fine, but they used this bad style of logo for 51-55. I should have written about this before; I would have had an annual item going.
Side note: I am disappointed that Super Bowl LV was not held in Las Vegas.
Another side note: maybe it’s just the fact that they both prefer goatees and berets, but Bruce Arians and Jamie Hyneman remind me of each other.
‘Cursed is one who misleads a person who is blind on the road.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
