More haden hill

[katuend]

My art is in an exhibition! I'm super excited by this and to see it all framed and on a wall is a bit insane. Based in the Haden Hill House and Museum, it features a view of the park it's part of. I also love all the other works made by other local artists and students in the exhibition too!

This is just so exciting and !!

A hard as nails cop reluctantly teams up with a wise-cracking criminal temporarily paroled to him, in order to track down an escaped convict cop killer. The mismatched buddy buddy formula exploded onto the screen here in a ball of violence, profanity and pin sharp one liners. It also launched Eddie Murphy into 1980s stardom. Directed by Walter Hill and starring Nick Nolte alongside Murphy as part of an electrifying black and white double act, it’s unrelenting in pace and bad attitude. It could have been so different though, with the likes of Stallone, Reynolds, Pryor and Hines attached at various times for lead parts, it now is written in folklore that Murphy got the break and grasped it with both hands (he was actually fired at one point mind!). Thankfully the problems behind the scenes were resolved to give us a classic of its type. A big success for Paramount it paved the way for more choice same formula pictures in the decade, but few were able to be so course and daring with the racial divide explosions. Murphy is outstanding, quick as an A.K. 47 in vocal d...

Haden Hill painting challenge Sat 08/09/2019, in association with the art yard. It was very rain on the day, so much that I started painting indoors from a photo as the paint would stick to the canvas. As it cleared up I was able to

Oil paint on canvas. Will finish at home.

Pandemic/Apocalyptic Fiction

Titles that feature storylines during a pandemic.

Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

4.05/5 stars

Set in the days of civilization's collapse, Station Eleven tells the story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity.

One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time—from the actor's early days as a film star to fifteen years in the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains—this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony, caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet.

The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai

4.21/5 stars

In 1985, Yale Tishman, the development director for an art gallery in Chicago, is about to pull off an amazing coup, bringing in an extraordinary collection of 1920s paintings as a gift to the gallery. Yet as his career begins to flourish, the carnage of the AIDS epidemic grows around him. One by one, his friends are dying and after his friend Nico's funeral, the virus circles closer and closer to Yale himself. Soon the only person he has left is Fiona, Nico's little sister. Thirty years later, Fiona is in Paris tracking down her estranged daughter who disappeared into a cult. While staying with an old friend, a famous photographer who documented the Chicago crisis, she finds herself finally grappling with the devastating ways AIDS affected her life and her relationship with her daughter. The two intertwining stories take us through the heartbreak of the eighties and the chaos of the modern world, as both Yale and Fiona struggle to find goodness in the midst of disaster.

The End of October by Lawrence Wright

3.82/5 stars

At an internment camp in Indonesia, forty-seven people are pronounced dead with acute hemorrhagic fever. When Henry Parsons--microbiologist, epidemiologist--travels there on behalf of the World Health Organization to investigate, what he finds will soon have staggering repercussions across the globe: an infected man is on his way to join the millions of worshippers in the annual Hajj to Mecca. Now, Henry joins forces with a Saudi prince and doctor in an attempt to quarantine the entire host of pilgrims in the holy city... A Russian émigré, a woman who has risen to deputy director of U.S. Homeland Security, scrambles to mount a response to what may be an act of biowarfare... already-fraying global relations begin to snap, one by one, in the face of a pandemic... Henry's wife Jill and their children face diminishing odds of survival in Atlanta... and the disease slashes across the United States, dismantling institutions--scientific, religious, governmental--and decimating the population. As packed with suspense as it is with the fascinating history of viral diseases, Lawrence Wright has given us a full-tilt, electrifying, one-of-a-kind thriller.

The Rationing by Charles Wheelan

3.9/5 stars

America is in trouble—at the mercy of a puzzling pathogen. That ordinarily wouldn’t lead to catastrophe, thanks to modern medicine, but there’s just one problem: the government supply of Dormigen, the silver bullet of pharmaceuticals, has been depleted just as demand begins to spike. Set in the near future, The Rationing centers around a White House struggling to quell the crisis—and control the narrative. Working together, just barely, are a savvy but preoccupied president; a Speaker more interested in jockeying for position—and a potential presidential bid—than attending to the minutiae of disease control; a patriotic majority leader unable to differentiate a virus from a bacterium; a strategist with brilliant analytical abilities but abominable people skills; and, improbably, our narrator, a low-level scientist with the National Institutes of Health who happens to be the world’s leading expert in lurking viruses. Little goes according to plan during the three weeks necessary to replenish the stocks of Dormigen. Some Americans will get the life-saving drug and others will not, and nations with their own supply soon offer aid—but for a price. China senses blood and a geopolitical victory, presenting a laundry list of demands that ranges from complete domination of the South China Sea to additional parking spaces at the UN, while India claims it can save the day for the U.S.

The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker

3.66/5 stars

In an isolated college town in the hills of Southern California, a freshman girl stumbles into her dorm room, falls asleep—and doesn’t wake up. She sleeps through the morning, into the evening. Her roommate, Mei, cannot rouse her. Neither can the paramedics who carry her away, nor the perplexed doctors at the hospital. Then a second girl falls asleep, and then another, and panic takes hold of the college and spreads to the town. As the number of cases multiplies, classes are canceled, and stores begin to run out of supplies. A quarantine is established. The National Guard is summoned. Mei, an outsider in the cliquish hierarchy of dorm life, finds herself thrust together with an eccentric, idealistic classmate. Two visiting professors try to protect their newborn baby as the once-quiet streets descend into chaos. A father succumbs to the illness, leaving his daughters to fend for themselves. And at the hospital, a new life grows within a college girl, unbeknownst to her—even as she sleeps. A psychiatrist, summoned from Los Angeles, attempts to make sense of the illness as it spreads through the town. Those infected are displaying unusual levels of brain activity, more than has ever been recorded. They are dreaming heightened dreams—but of what?

Lock In (Lock In #1) by John Scalzi

3.89/5 stars

Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge. A quarter of a century later, in a world shaped by what's now known as "Haden's syndrome," rookie FBI agent Chris Shane is paired with veteran agent Leslie Vann. The two of them are assigned what appears to be a Haden-related murder at the Watergate Hotel, with a suspect who is an "integrator" - someone who can let the locked in borrow their bodies for a time. If the Integrator was carrying a Haden client, then naming the suspect for the murder becomes that much more complicated. But "complicated" doesn't begin to describe it. As Shane and Vann began to unravel the threads of the murder, it becomes clear that the real mystery - and the real crime - is bigger than anyone could have imagined. The world of the locked in is changing, and with the change comes opportunities that the ambitious will seize at any cost. The investigation that began as a murder case takes Shane and Vann from the halls of corporate power to the virtual spaces of the locked in, and to the very heart of an emerging, surprising new human culture. It's nothing you could have expected.

Alice Coltrane

Alice Coltrane (née McLeod, August 27, 1937 – January 12, 2007), also known by her adopted Sanskrit name Turiyasangitananda or Turiya Alice Coltrane, was an American jazz pianist, organist, harpist, singer, composer, swamini, and the second wife of jazz saxophonist and composer John Coltrane. One of the few harpists in the history of jazz, she recorded many albums as a bandleader, beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s for Impulse! Records and Universal Distribution.

Biography

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Alice McLeod studied classical music, and also jazz with Bud Powell in Paris, where she worked as the intermission pianist at the Blue Note Jazz Club in 1960. It was there that she was broadcast on French television in a performance with Lucky Thompson, Pierre Michelot and Kenny Clarke. She began playing jazz as a professional in Detroit, with her own trio and as a duo with vibist Terry Pollard. She married Kenny "Pancho" Hagood in 1960 and had a daughter with him. In 1962–63 she played with Terry Gibbs's quartet, during which time she met John Coltrane. In 1965 they were married in Juárez, Mexico. John Coltrane became stepfather to Alice's daughter Michele and the couple had three children: John Jr. (1964–1982), a drummer; Oranyan (b. 1967), a DJ who played saxophone with Santana for a period of time; and Ravi (born 1965), a saxophonist.

In January 1966 she replaced McCoy Tyner as pianist with John Coltrane's group. She subsequently recorded with him and continued playing with the band until his death on July 17, 1967. After her husband's death she continued to play with her own groups, later including her children, moving into progressively more meditative music.

Coltrane was a devotee of the Indian guru Sathya Sai Baba. In 1972, she moved to California, where she established the Vedantic Center in 1975. By the late 1970s she had changed her name to Turiyasangitananda. She was the spiritual director, or swamini, of Shanti Anantam Ashram (later renamed Sai Anantam Ashram in Chumash Pradesh) which the Vedantic Center established in 1983 near Malibu, California. On rare occasions, she continued to perform publicly under the name Alice Coltrane.

The 1990s saw renewed interest in her work, which led to the release of the compilation Astral Meditations, and in 2004 she released her comeback album Translinear Light. Following a 25-year break from major public performances, she returned to the stage for three U.S. appearances in the fall of 2006, culminating on November 4 with a concert for the San Francisco Jazz Festival with her son Ravi, drummer Roy Haynes, and bassist Charlie Haden.

Alice Coltrane died of respiratory failure at West Hills Hospital and Medical Center in suburban Los Angeles in 2007, aged 69. She is buried alongside John Coltrane in Pinelawn Memorial Park, Farmingdale, Suffolk County, New York.

Impact

Paul Weller dedicated his song "Song For Alice (Dedicated to the Beautiful Legacy of Mrs. Coltrane)", from his 2008 album 22 Dreams, to Coltrane; the track entitled "Alice" on Sunn O)))'s 2009 album Monoliths & Dimensions was similarly inspired. Electronic musician Flying Lotus is the grand-nephew of Alice Coltrane. The song "That Alice" on Laura Veirs' album Warp and Weft is about Coltrane.

25. İstanbul Caz Festivali Başlıyor

25. İstanbul Caz Festivali, 26 Haziran-17 Temmuz tarihleri arasında, cazın usta isimlerinden güncel müziğin tanınmış ekiplerine, yeni keşiflerden sevilen yıldızlara, farklı mekânlarda gerçekleştirilecek 50’nin üzerinde konserle, bu yaz da Haziran ve Temmuz aylarında keşiflerle dolu bir festival deneyimi yaşatacak.

İstanbul Caz Festivali’nin yirmi beşinci yılına özel konukları arasında açıklanan ilk isim, kırk beş yıllık müzik kariyeri boyunca çok sayıda sanatçıya ilham kaynağı olmuş, Avustralyalı şarkıcı, söz yazarı, besteci, senaryo yazarı, şair ve aktör Nick Cave ile grubu The Bad Seeds oldu. İstanbulluların yıllardır heyecanla yeniden canlı izleyecekleri günü beklediği Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds festival kapsamında %100 Müzik katkılarıyla 10 Temmuz Salı akşamı KüçükÇiftlik Park’ta hayranlarıyla buluşacak.

25. İSTANBUL CAZ FESTİVALİ PROGRAMI

Melody Gardot

27 Haziran Çarşamba, 21.00, Uniq Açık Hava Sahnesi

Türkiye’deki ilk konserini 2009 yılında yine İstanbul Caz Festivali kapsamında veren Amerikalı caz sanatçısı Melody Gardot, festivalin 25. yılında da ülkemizdeki çok sayıda hayranını sevindirecek. Yıllar önce başından geçen ağır trafik kazası sonrasında, kendi şarkılarını yazmaya başlayarak, bu şarkılarla hayata tutunan Melody Gardot, aynı zamanda müziğin iyileştirici gücüne de sonsuz inanıyor. Aradan geçen 13 yıl içinde yayınladığı, dünya çapında büyük başarılar kazanan albümleriyle kendi kitlesini yaratması da bu inancın belki de en güzel sonucu. Melody Gardot’nun sahnesi karizması, duyuları kategorilere sığmadan sarmalayan derinlikli müziği, derinlerden kendini hissettiren Philadelphia yansımaları, etkileyici vokali ve açıklıkla paylaştığı sahici hikâyelerinin güçlü bir birleşimi.

Benjamin Clementine

5 Temmuz Perşembe, 21.00, Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Açık Hava Sahnesi

Aşk, melankoli ve başkaldırının ses bulduğu baladlarıyla Benjamin Clementine, hem tutkulu bir vokal hem de şarkı sözü yazarı ve şair olarak, ilk kez 2013’te Jools Holland’ın sahnesinde kendini dünyaya tanıttığından beri, dinleyicilerinin duygu haritalarında melodileriyle sağlam bir yer edinmeyi başaran, had safhada ilham verici bir sanatçı. Müziğinin çarpıcılığı konusunda otoritelerin adeta söz birliği ettiği bu yeni nesil deha, 2015 yılında ilk albümü At Least For Now ile Mercury Ödülü’nü kazandı. Nick Cave ve Tom Waits ile üç kahramanından biri olan Nina Simone’un izinden gitmeye devam ederken, geçtiğimiz yıl yayınladığı ikinci albümü I Tell A Fly ile müziğinin o sarsıcı tesirini bir kez daha kanıtladı. Benjamin Clementine’in, edebiyatla müziğin tek vücut olup izleyiciyi büyülediği teatral sahnesi kaçırılmaması gereken bir deneyim.

Yeni Nesil Cazcılar, Cazda Yeni Soluklar

R+R=Now

Robert Glasper / Taylor McFerrin / Derrick Hodge / Christian Scott / Terrace Martin

6 Temmuz Cuma, 22.00, Uniq Açık Hava Sahnesi

En büyük ilham kaynağı Miles Davis’in çığır açıcı bakış açısıyla caza kendi ruhunu katan piyano virtüözü Robert Glasper, 90’larda alevlenen neo-soul hareketinin en yetenekli isimlerindendi. İlk albümünden bu yana Blue Note çatısı altında imza attığı birbirinden başarılı albümlerle üç Grammy ödülünün sahibi oldu.

BADBADNOTGOOD // Zara McFarlane

7 Temmuz Cumartesi, 20.30, KüçükÇiftlik Park Bahçe

Karayip ve reggae geleneğini caza ustalıkla yediren, İngiliz cazının büyük keşiflerinden Zara McFarlane, KüçükÇiftlik Bahçe’deki bu gecenin açılışını yapacak. Erken dönem Nina Simone ve Roberta Flack tınıları barındıran bu ışıltılı vokal, ilk albümü Until Tomorrow ile MOBO Ödülleri’nde “Best Act” kategorisinde aday gösterilerek büyük ilgi topladı. Geçtiğimiz yıl yayınladığı üçüncü albümü Arise da övgülerin adresi olmuş durumda. Modern caza dair yepyeni adımlar atan, Toronto çıkışlı BADBADNOTGOOD ise gecenin ikinci konuğu olacak. Kendrick Lamar’la işbirliklerine, Black Panther’ın orijinal film müzikleriyle devam eden grup, hip hop cover’larıyla da tanınıyor. Saksofon, davul, klavye ve bas gitar dörtlüsünün akıllarda yer edecek bir müzik şöleninin kapılarını aralayacağı BADBADNOTGOOD performansı izleyicilere yıldızlar altında istisnai bir gece yaşatacak.

Julian Lage Trio

11 Temmuz Çarşamba, 19.00, Zorlu PSM Drama Sahnesi

1997’de, sekiz yaşındayken keşfedilen Julian Lage’ın dehası o dönemde Jules Et Eight adlı, Oscar’a da aday gösterilen bir belgeselin konusu olacak kadar ilgi çekiciydi. Ertesi yıl Carlos Santana’nın sahnesine konuk oldu, 13 yaşında ise Grammy Ödülleri gecesinde sahne aldı. Başarısı çocukluk dönemiyle sınırlı kalmayıp artarak devam eden cazın genç virtüözü Julian Lage bugün 30 yaşında ve şimdiden başarı tahtasına, Gary Burton, Jim Hall, David Grisman, Béla Fleck ve Charles Lloyd gibi büyük isimlerle yaptığı işbirliklerini ve grup liderliğini yaptığı üç albümü yazmış durumda. Gelecek projeleri merakla beklenen Julian Lage, kusursuz tekniğini bu festival akşamında İstanbullu izleyiciyle paylaşacak.

Parisien-Peirani-Schaerer-Wollny “Out Of Land”

12 Temmuz Perşembe, 20.00, Zorlu PSM Drama Sahnesi

Avrupa cazının en karizmatik dörtlülerinden Parisien-Peirani-Schaerer-Wollny, sadece kendi sınırlarını değil enstrümanlarının da sınırlarını zorlamayı seven bir topluluk. Parlak kariyerlerini bu ortak projeyle pekiştiren İsviçreli vokal Andreas Schaerer, Alman piyanist Michael Wollny, Fransız akordiyoncu Vincent Peirani ve Fransız saksofoncu Emilie Parisien, bu birlikteliği geçtiğimiz yıl Out of Land albümüyle taçlandırdı. Topluluğun Zorlu PSM Drama Sahnesi’nde gerçekleştireceği hayli karakteristik performans, yüksek seviyede bir heyecanla açılan ve kusursuz bir kapanışla sonlanan bu albümün hazinelerini keşfe çağırıyor. Proje gruplarının doğası gereği, tekrarına belki de bir daha rastlanmayacak bu ender buluşma bu özelliğiyle ilgiyi üzerinde topluyor.

Knower ve diğer sürprizlerle caz dans pistine taşınıyor!

13 Temmuz Cuma, 21.00, Beykoz Kundura

TRIBUTE TO DUSTER BENNETT

ANY BENEFIT concert that Alexis and Co. might organise for the family of Tony “Duster” Bennett would make real sense if Peter Green was there to lead the parade.

For at a time some eight years ago when Duster was reluctant to push his one man band routine it was Green who gave him more encouragement than anyone, urging him to make a career of his music and ultimately bringing him to Mike Vernon’s attention by putting him second on the bill to Fleetwood Mac at the now legendary Blue Horizon Club.

Tony Bennett was almost dogmatic in his beliefs and was not easily persuaded to abandon a career in ceramics and pottery. But with a guitar style similar to Jimmy Reed, a brilliant harmonica technique in the tradition of Slim Harpo and a Heath Robinson rig out which evoked comparisons with Jesse Fuller, Duster quickly made the Surrey club scene all his own just as the Stones and Yardbirds had done five years before.

This quiet, diffident bluesman never really received the acclaim he deserved although down in Surrey – particularly at his ‘home’ club, the famous Gin Mill in Godalming, where he always outdrew Fleetwood Mac, Free, Jethro Tull and so on – he was a legend. His second album “Bright Lights . . .” was recorded live at the Gin Mill and featured his wife Stella, Peter Green (credited as Blue), Top Topham (the old Yardbird) and Tony Mills (his bass player-cum-roadie).

Over this period he became a good friend although he never seemed certain which way his career should be guided. He turned down many tempting offers . . . including a management offer from Peter Grant after touring the States. In fact his overall guardedness probably stems from the days shortly after he quit the Georgia Skin Band and wound up across the national newspapers busking to theatre queues with acoustic guitar, bass drum, hi hat and harmonica. It was something that repulses him.

Coming from Richmond, the sixties home of rhythm and blues, his vista was much wider than that, and his first album “Smiling Like I’m Happy” had every texture of fifties blues from city r&b to loose southern combo music. He would state such diverse influences as Tommy McClennan on the one hand and Bobby ‘Blue’ Band on the other.

When it looked as though Duster’s career was heading into a rut John Mayall asked him to join the band for a British and American tour. But on his return Duster’s career once again fluctuated. He’d built up a huge following in British clubs and in the States, but afer an abortive attempt to get his own band going with American RICK WRIGHT he went into a recession and over the past five years had largely fallen into oblivion, changing his base from Hampton to Dorking and finally to the Midlands. His third album “12DBs” had not been wholely successful and once he quit Mike Vernon’s Blue Horizon label his recording career was at an end.

But despite his relative absence from the music scene over recent years he will be greatly missed, not only for his genuinely self-effacing, philanthopic demeanor but also because he went as far as anyone in proving that white men could indeed sing the blues. – JERRY GILBERT

2017 NFL Week 1 Bettor’s Guide M.D. Wright 9.8.2017

Week 1 is upon us and the season is underway. A few points of order with this season’s bettor’s guides:

As previously stated earlier this week, will be doing the Thursday games separate from the remaining Bettor’s Guide, as Friday practices (Saturday for Monday night teams) affect lineups and obviously the action thereafter.

KC +8 (Hit), KC ML (Hit).

SU: 1-0 ATS: 1-0 ____________________________________________________________________________________________

Week 1: Atlanta Falcons vs. Chicago Bears Soldier Field Chicago, Illinois My Call: ATL -7 Over/Under: Over 48.5

Analysis: We don’t really know what the Bears are entering this season. They released Jay Cutler, then signed Mike Glennon to a galling contract in the offseason, before needlessly sacrificing a draft pick in order to move up to draft Mitch Trubisky, who looked every bit as good as Glennon (and, at some points, better; albeit versus second-stringers and final cuts in some instances) in the preseason.

Nevertheless, we know what the Falcons are. Their offense might not be as electric as it was last year with a new coordinator and surely a slightly different approach with the departure of Kyle Shanahan to take the San Francisco head coaching position, but their defense should be even better with the additions of Dontari Poe at nose/defensive tackle and Takk McKinley via the draft. There should be a bit more balance with this squad, as the offense carried the team until the defense began to gel late in the season. You would be a trivia genius if you could name all 11 Bears starters on defense without looking them up.

Most importantly, the Falcons know who they are, and will gameplan and execute accordingly.

Call: Atlanta                        34 Chicago                       17 FINAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins FedEx Field Landover, Maryland My Call: PHI -1 Over/Under: Over 48

Analysis: These two tend to play some wild games in recent years, regardless of the locale. Both teams have had drastic overhauls on both sides of the ball. It’s a tough call for that reason. Both teams return their starting quarterbacks from last season, but that is basically where the continuity ends. The Eagles’ secondary is virtually made over; moving on from Brandon Boykin, and trading WR Jordan Matthews to acquire CB Ronald Darby from Buffalo. LB Mychal Kendricks wants out of town, but the Eagles linebackers are solid. We don’t really know what to make of their defensive line — which, on paper, looks stout — with top dog Fletcher Cox, Florida State legend Timmy Jernigan, who was acquired from Baltimore, and Brandon Graham. The Eagles’ WR corps is a major question mark, as is their running game.

The Redskins defense is shaky. They are going to miss Trent Murphy during his suspension. They will also interior anchor Chris Baker, who commanded two blocks for most of the season in 2016, allowing Ryan Kerrigan and Murphy to run free in run support and to get after the passer. Their secondary is not good. DeAngelo Hall is on his last legs. Bashaud Breeland got exposed throughout last year. Josh Norman’s play did not match his bluster at any point in 2016. Offensively, while the team acquired Terrelle Pryor in free agency, they moved on from Pierre Garçon and, at least this week, Jamison Crowder’s availability is in question. They will finally have Josh Doctson healthy, however. It is anyone’s guess how many games Jordan Reed will be healthy for in 2017, but as for now, he will be ready for Week 1.

Washington’s run game is a major question mark. Rob Kelley looked decent in 2016, but even his production tailed off toward the end of the season. They moved on from Matt Jones, who is now a Colt.

This team has more questions than answers. But again, these two teams play wild, high scoring and close games every time they square off; hence the lines. It is a virtual pick ’em.

Call: Philadelphia                          27 Washington                           23 FINAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns FirstEnergy Stadium Cleveland, Ohio My Call: CLE -9.5 Over/Under: Over 47

Analysis: The Browns tend to play the Steelers competitively; whether it be an entire game or at least for a half. It is shaky to propose the Steelers winning by 10 or more, particularly with the addition of Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator for the Browns, and the addition-by-subtraction by cutting the already-washed-up Joe Haden. The Browns defense looks like a solid unit. The real questions are about their offense. At best, it is a project and a work in progress. But they have a good amount of talent at the “skill” positions.

The Steelers had trouble on the road last season. They do get Martavis Bryant back for this season, but he missed all of 2016 with a suspension and it is difficult to think that he will pick right up where he left off in 2015. Le’Veon Bell is effectively playing himself into football shape in this game. The Steelers SHOULD win, but do not be the least bit surprised if the Browns, at the very least, cover.

Call: Pittsburgh                  26 Cleveland                   20 FINAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________

Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals Paul Brown Stadium Cincinnati, Ohio My Call: BAL +3 Over/Under: Under 42.5

Analysis: We don’t know what to make of the Ravens offense as of right now. We did not see Joe Flacco in the preseason. Will the Ravens have a pass rush? Will they have enough in the secondary? We think so, but it’s hard to pin your hopes for wagering purposes until you’ve seen a live game. That’s the crap shoot that is Week 1 in the NFL season nowadays.

The Bengals should be relatively healthy, and Joe Mixon figures to eventually make Jeremy Hill expendable before long. Slight questions in the secondary, but the Ravens don’t appear to have much in the way of a running game. You just never know. Should be close, though. Tough call to pick the Ravens to cover and lose a close game, but it should turn out about that way.

Call: Baltimore                     19 Cincinnati                    20 FINAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________

Arizona Cardinals vs. Detroit Lions Ford Field Detroit, Michigan My Call: DET +2 Over/Under: Over 48

Analysis: We’ll take the Lions only because Ameer Abdullah should — SHOULD — at least be healthy for Week 1’s game, right? Beyond that, who knows?

New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills New Era Field Orchard Park, New York My Call: NYJ +8 Over/Under: Under 40

Oakland Raiders vs. Tennessee Titans Nissan Stadium Nashville, Tennessee My Call: TEN -1.5 Over/Under: Under 50.5

Analysis: The Titans played the Raiders tough last season. In fact, some would argue that they blew the game. The Titans are favorites (with us, at least) to win the AFC South. As they should be. Don’t know why so many people think anyone but the Raiders or Chiefs win the AFC West, but we’ve seen picks for the Chargers and Broncos at times. Odd.

As for this game. It should be more of the same from last year’s meeting. Maybe not 17-10, but something along those lines in terms of separation on the scoreboard.

We’re actually going to take the Titans money line here.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Houston Texans NRG Stadium Houston, Texas My Call: JAX +6 Over/Under: Under 39.5

Analysis: First of all, we send out prayers TO GOD — FOR (not “to”) — those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Some fans are looking for some semblance of normalcy, and sports can be a great unifier and a means to take minds off the catastrophe at hand.

Not that this ugly game — and these two teams really play some stinkers — will exactly suffice, but anything to return to some normalcy is good enough.

Both teams have such immense talent on both sides of the ball and are held back by QB play. Unless Tom Savage gets a quick hook in this game in favor of Deshaun Watson, that will hold true.

Hide your eyes.

Call: Jacksonville                       16 Houston                              19 FINAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________

Indianapolis Colts vs. Los Angeles Rams Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Los Angeles, California My Call: LAR -5 Over/Under: Under 39.5

Analysis: Scott Tolzien at QB? No Vontae Davis on an already-bad defense?

If the Rams can’t win this game, they won’t win more than 5 or 6 all season.

And even if they do, they will do so in epic-struggle fashion.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers Lambeau Field Green Bay, Wisconsin AMERICA’S GAME OF THE WEEK My Call: SEA +3 Over/Under: Over 51

Analysis: Last season is over. Zero correlation between the 2016 tilt between these two and this game. The Seahawks are healthy across the board except at left tackle. They possess arguably the best defense in the NFL, though a couple of teams could make equal cases. The offense should be fine regardless of the injury to George Fant at the aforementioned left tackle spot. Rees Odhiambo will occupy that spot.

Green Bay is stocked offensively, and will present a few issues for Seattle at times. It will be tough sledding for Ty Montgomery & Co. on the ground, and there will be plays available in the passing game for sure.

But Green Bay’s defense still leaves a lot to be desired.

Call: Seattle                   29 Green Bay            23 FINAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________

Carolina Panthers vs. San Francisco 49ers Levi’s Stadium Santa Clara, California My Call: CAR -6 Over/Under: Under 47.5

Analysis: The Panthers should win, but it will not be easy. We need to see more from the Niners’ offense before we can get a good idea of who they truly are.

New York Football Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium Arlington, Texas ***SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL My Call: NYG +4 Over/Under: Under 47.5

Analysis: Some (Vegas) appear to be concerned about Odell Beckham’s availability for this game, but he is almost certainly playing. To what level of fluidity? That remains to be seen.

The Giants boast one of — if not arguably the best — defense in the NFL. The offense, with the addition of Brandon Marshall, who possesses the outside size the Giants desperately lacked in 2016, allowing Sterling Shepard to operate in the slot, and the freedom for Beckham to also alternate at every WR position, opens up more options for the Giants’ passing attack. The team also upgraded at tight end, which was a position of great lack, to one of great depth in 2017. Blocking TE Rhett Ellison will help with the run game, Evan Engram provides a downfield threat, and proved that he can effectively block when called upon. Additionally, holdovers Jerrell Adams and Matt LaCosse provide quality depth.

The Giants’ run game was a concern in 2016, but should be better simply with the release of Rashad Jennings alone. The offensive line itself isn’t bad (or great) at run blocking, but help on the edges will augment that aspect of the game with Paul Perkins & Co. in the backfield. The Giants have not had a reliable fullback in ages, and Shane Smith paid dividends in preseason. This will also help the run game, as well.

Pass protection is a concern to a degree, but the line now has depth should any of the starters show that they are unable to hack it. Half of Dallas’ defense is injured or suspended (and another who received a DUI should be, but isn’t, as well). This isn’t exactly the best game to gauge the progress of the Giants’ offensive line.

Dallas lost Doug Free to retirement after last season, and placed La’el Collins at right tackle to fill that need. Chaz Green at left guard is a liability. Dallas loves to boast about their offensive line, but it is not cohesive yet. Green has either been nicked up and, when he’s played, looked horrible. The Giants’ front isn’t the one to sort out one’s shortcomings. Soon-to-be suspended Ezekiel Elliott will have trouble finding rush lanes. We will see what Dak Prescott is truly made of Sunday night, as he gets a chance to prove that he wasn’t just a product of the offensive line’s protection, Elliott’s abilities in and outside of the backfield, and a solid, if not unspectacular defense that notched high grades in analytics, but isn’t particularly talented at all. Even less so in the secondary, and, especially for this game, their defensive line in Week 1.

Call: NY Giants                           31 Dallas                                  20 FINAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________

New Orleans Saints vs. Minnesota Vikings U.S. Bank Stadium Minneapolis, Minnesota MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL My Call: MIN -3 Over/Under: Under 48

Analysis: Forget all the Adrian Peterson storylines. That is for the media to build up an audience for the game. As it is, it does the Saints no good to have Mark Ingram, Peterson,  and Alvin Kamara to run the football if Drew Brees ends up still managing to pass the ball 40 times every week. The Saints’ main problem for years wasn’t always a lack of talent defensively; it was that they were on the field for long stretches or for more time per game than the offense. The Saints are marginally better defensively, but Florida State legend Dalvin Cook will give the Saints problems — even behind a poor offensive line — as he is also a superb pass receiver out of the backfield. The Vikes have plenty of weapons on the outside to counter what the Saints do.

And we know how the Saints play when they’re on the road.

And against a great defense?

Call: New Orleans                    23 Minnesota                        27 FINAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Denver Broncos Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium Denver, Colorado MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL My Call: LAC +3 Over/Under: Over 43

Analysis: Not the most attractive game ever, but it should be good. For what it’s worth, the Bolts weren’t terrible in 2016. They lost a ton of games in the closing moments in almost comical fashion in a few instances. They were ravaged by injuries across the board, as well. Other than Denzel Perryman on defense, they are relatively healthy. They also have Joey Bosa, who had a full camp this year, who was unstoppable for long stretches last season.

Denver has to show and prove that they can run the ball against a very good defense, and that Trevor Siemian has actually made progress after a decidedly average season in 2016.
