Kerry, from Cards on Cards, is the latest to honor my greatness with some free cards. 

-  Yount as a shortstop.

-  My 4th Lillard, which doesn't seem like a lot, but for a current player it kind of is.  

-  The face of the Bad Boys, which also included Rick Mahorn, John Salley, and a young Dennis Rodman. 

-  Half the Twin Towers duo (with Akeem Olajuwon).  My first card of him as a Rocket.

Scoring from My Dealer

 

I bought a batch of cards from Cardbarrel.  

Mostly 1986 Donruss (26) and 1989 Fleer (31), because I like the designs, but they're junk era so they're cheap.

I also got a few cards for mini collections:  Cy Young, perfect game, MVP, same name, trivia answers, 42, and Topps Through the Years.

 

-  I now have 4 Blombergs.  Not going out of my way for him, but he's still cheap enough to be an add-on. 

-  I only have 3 Mendozas and I want more. 

-  I completed my 42 page.  5 pitchers though.  Meh.  

-  Phillies legend Dave Stewart on a different team. 

-  Looks like Winfield popped up.  Was it October?  

-  Rodgers is my 2022 Topps card.  Gold Glover and that other reason. 

Time Traveling

 

Another trade with Matty K is in the books.  

Sent some space eaters, got these:

-  I saw Rickey play as an Athletic and a Padre, but not as a Yankee.

-  Fought the Somoza government as a Sandinista in Nicaragua.

-  Looking at the scoreboard near the end of another painful loss to the mighty Eagles of Philadelphia.

-  That face you make when you realize they can't hit you, but you can still tell women you play in the NFL.     

NFC Playoff Preview

Listed in reverse order of personal preference:

7.  Cowboys

Terrible franchise, terrible fan base.   

Super Bowl Wins:  5

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  1995 season (ha ha ha ha ha) 

6.  49ers

 

Terrible franchise, terrible fan base.    

Super Bowl Wins:  5

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  2019 season

5.  Rams

Not rooting for an L.A. team.

Super Bowl Wins:  2

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  2021 season

4.  Bucs

They won it recently and it's not a real football town.  But okay I guess.

Super Bowl Wins:  2

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  2020 season

3.  Packers

Just not interested.  They had Favre for most of his career, then Rodgers for most of his career.  They had their time.  But it's a classic football town and the NFC field isn't very deep this season.

Super Bowl Wins:  4

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  2010 season

2.  Lions

 

  

A cast-off QB, a parched fan base, a sexy WAG.

Super Bowl Wins:  0

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  never

1.  Eagles

 

Best fans in the league, best franchise in the league.  Their cheerleaders are not only the sexiest but also the smartest and the best at Jenga.  Ten future Hall of Famers on the current roster.

Super Bowl Wins:  1

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  2022 season (eye roll)  

  

Christen Harper - Goff's gal

 

AFC Playoff Preview

Listed in reverse order of personal preference:

7.  Browns

Terrible nickname, unreasonably cold in winter, not even the real Browns, and Deshaun Watson. 

Super Bowl Wins:  0

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  Never.

6.  Steelers

They've won enough.  They don't need to win one as a Wild Card team.

Super Bowl Wins:  6

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  2010 season

5.  Texans

 

Terrible nickname, Texans already have big enough egos, probably the most boring team in the playoffs.

Super Bowl Wins:  0

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  Never

4.  Chiefs

I like Andy.  I like hating on the Raiders and Chargers.  Good fan base in Kansas City.  But they won it last season and oh gawd I am so sick of that woman. 

Super Bowl Wins:  3

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  2022 season (eye roll)

3.  Dolphins

  

Nothing against them really. But Miami doesn't seem like a football town and they're just a Wild Card team.

Super Bowl Wins:  2

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  1984 season

2.  Ravens

Best nickname in the league.  Top seed in the conference.  

Super Bowl Wins:  2

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  2012 season

1.  Bills

 

 

Terrible nickname, but a good fan base and an entertaining team.  Suffered a long time in the same division as Brady and Vader, and before that the close but not quite Kelly / Smith era. 

Super Bowl Wins:  0

Last Super Bowl Appearance:  1993 season 

NFL MVP

My NFL MVP ballot:

5.  T.J. Watt - Steelers

 

4.  Josh Allen - Bills

3.  Brock Purdy - 49ers

2.  Dak Prescott - Cowboys

Eventually, I should pick a day of the week to do these on, but anyway...

Modern era career stolen base leaders:

I have 10 - 18 but Maury Wills is currently a manager card, so I'll hold off on showing that page for now.
