Tomorrow's News Today

If you haven’t heard, cartoonist Berkeley Breathed is ending his Opus strip on Sunday, Nov. 2. He is not offering reruns so we have a hole to fill on our Sunday comic page. We have eight strips that run daily, but not Sunday: Gasoline Alley,
Funky Winkerbean, Baldo, Baby Blues, Cathy, Rex Morgan, Mallard Fillmore, Lio (runs in classified pages).

One of my favorite things to do here at the R-J is participate in the weekly staff NFL picks that appear on page 2 of the Sunday sports section. Picking every game against the spread is a real challenge. It also gives me a reason to keep tabs on all the NFL game. Finally, I like competing for bragging rights against other staffers. I’ve just completed my picks for this week and will give our online readers a sneak peek at some of my favorites. I really like the Ravens getting 4.5 on the road against the Colts. My other favorite is the Falcons getting 2.5 at home against the Bears.
