I have been with the Standard Democrat sports department since 2007. I took over as sports editor in May of 2011 and have been slightly crazy about sports since I can remember. I attended Southeast Missouri State University and Scott County Central High School. I co-created our sports web show "The Last Word" and my two children, Elijah and CJ. I was married to my wife, Angie, in May of 2014. I love to golf, I am an avid NBA2K gamer and root for the Fighting Irish on Saturdays.

Media Football Pick 'Em Week 7

Posted Thursday, October 2, 2014, at 3:55 PM

So that Cape Central-Jackson game didn't go as our "experts" expected. Neither did Caruthersville-NMCC or Poplar Bluff-Sikeston.

But, nonetheless, we're back at it again for Week 7.

If you want to know why I picked the way I did, watch this week's episode of The Last Word. The most intriguing matchup to me this week was the Dexter-NMCC matchup at New Madrid. It's our Game of the Week and our panel split right down the middle on that one. We also made it an even split on Hayti at Scott City.

I gave nods to NMCC and Scott City. I apologize for the 'me picking a team' curse in advance.
