Welcome to Super Bowl XLIX and it should be an instant classic between the New England Patriots facing the defending Super Bowl Champs Seattle Seahawks. The Conference Championships featured a blowout in the AFC title game and some controversy with Deflate-Gate and an amazing comeback in the NFC title game when Seattle came back from a 16-point deficit to beat the Packers in OT. I predicted the Packers versus the Patriots in a rematch from earlier in the season to meet in the Super Bowl. My playoff record is 7-3 and my overall record 75-42 making my winning percentage go from 64.4% to 64.1%. Let’s see how things play…
Daddy’s Hangout 2021 Super Wild Card Weekend Predictions

My winning percentage dipped from 61.3 down to 59.1%. The final weekend of action had a lot to be determined for positioning and division winners.

Usher Confessions Released 20 Years Ago Today
Usher is one of the biggest artists in the world today. Usher released his first album all the way back in August of 1994. Last month, he dropped his ninth album called Coming Home and it was followed by a major tour. Around the same time, Usher performed at halftime of the Super Bowl. To this day, Confessions is the best album by him and one of my all-time favorites of any genre. Usher dropped Confessions 20 years ago today and the marketing of this album was top tier. The biggest controversy from the album came about the mistress-impregnating concept of “Confessions Part II”. Due to the controversy and…
6 Quarterback Options for the Atlanta Falcons in 2024
The Atlanta Falcons are coming off another disappointing season where they didn’t make the playoffs. The Falcons finished 3rd in the NFC South with a 7-10 record. Atlanta had a defense that finished in the middle of the pack in scoring. Jesse Bates III was one of the best free agent signings in the league last season. The offense finished in the top-10 in rushing and that was thanks to Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Allgeier had a 1,000 yard season the previous one and they selected Robinson in the top-10 of last year’s draft. The offense should’ve been better with Kyle Pitts and Drake London. Atlanta had inconsistent…
Usher U Don’t Have to Call for Throwback Thursday
Usher has been in the news a lot for the past year or so. We all remember the stuff with KeKe Palmer about a year ago. Usher was serenading women, and it made a lot of headlines. Usher released his ninth studio album called Coming Home last Friday. Every album Usher has released went on to go at least gold. The only ones to go gold were his self-titled first album in 1994 and the Hard II Love one from 2016. If that wasn’t enough, Usher performed at the Halftime show of last week’s Super Bowl. If that wasn’t enough, it was rumored that Usher married his girlfriend while in…
