Protime Predictions
September 29, 2022 | Phil Myers
Not long ago Protime was asked to be part of a radio team that was going to broadcast area football games. Suddenly memories of speaking in public that had haunted Protime for years came back into the picture. Granted, describing a football game on the radio to thousands of people is vastly different than speaking […]

September 26, 2022 | Billy Splain
The Protime wannabe’s had a nice week of guessing! Only 2 were under 10 correct picks, Dan the man and Mason Jar. Protime and the corporate office hit the big time with 13 aces while 3 guessers picked 12 winners. We had 4 hit on 11. Protime holds a 3 point lead over the two […]

Protime Predictions
September 22, 2022 | Phil Myers
Protime happily went shopping at the local grocery mart last week at the request of Mrs. Protime.

The professional prognosticator hit a whopping 12-3 this week to show those understudies of his who the boss is.

Protime Predictions
September 15, 2022 | Phil Myers
A few years ago, Protime and brothers Protime went on a trip down south and stopped at a convenience store for some R and R. On the magazine rack was a sports magazine. Inside the magazine was a page with one of those scratch and sniff colognes for men. Protime liked the fragrance and thinking […]

Protime Predictions
September 1, 2022 | Phil Myers
Protime is not really technologically savvy. This past week when the powers to be at PFN called for a zoom meeting, Protime had no idea what they were talking about. When Protime was a little Protimer, he played with model planes and hot wheels cars. The noise they made was ‘zoom’, but he was pretty […]
Protime Predictions
August 25, 2022 | Phil Myers
Well, Protime finds it hard to believe another high school football season is upon us. Since he retired a year ago Mrs. Protime has kept him busy with the ole ‘Honey Do’ list. So, he has to juggle his time so to speak. In fact, Protime took up juggling this year as a hobby. He […]

November 25, 2021 | Phil Myers
Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks and reflecting on the good things in life. Protime thanks Mrs. Protime for giving him the best Thanksgiving turkey dinners ever even though Protime refuses to eat the brussel sprouts.

Protime Predictions Week 12, 2021
November 18, 2021 | Phil Myers
Back in the day when Protime was a long-distance runner and ran virtually every day, he seldom cancelled a scheduled run even if the weather was bad. Protime was like the postman, he ran in rain, snow, sleet, and hail. Protime even ran in heat, cold, and wind. A couple of times he ran (not […]
Protime Predictions Week 11, 2021
November 11, 2021 | Phil Myers
This past Saturday Protime’s Sunday School class had a coffee and doughnut social event where everyone could turn out and chat about anything that came to mind. Well, the subject quickly turned to creatures that people had dealt with in their homes over the years such as rodents and snakes. This did not sit well […]
Protime Predictions week 10 2021
November 5, 2021 | Phil Myers
The other day Protime’s trusty ole jalopy died in the middle of a busy intersection. The truck driver behind him couldn’t make the turn because Protime was blocking the way. After honking at Protime the truck driver got out and started walking briskly toward Protime. The guy reminded Protime of bad, bad Leroy Brown. As […]

October 28, 2021 | Phil Myers
Halloween is upon us this weekend and Protime hearkens back to yesteryear when he was just a kid who enjoyed trick and treating.

Protime Predictions Week 8 2021
October 21, 2021 | Phil Myers
A while back when Protime used to dabble in juggling, he decided he was good enough to juggle three of Mrs. Protime’s plates. So, before supper he put on a nice show for the lovely Mrs. P and Protime Jr. Now for the record, Mrs. P vehemently protested but Protime said the show must go […]
Protime Predictions Week 7 2021
October 14, 2021 | Phil Myers
A couple weeks ago Protime and Mrs. Protime went for a walk. When they got back, the door was locked and Protime had forgotten the keys. When Protime checked the other door and all of the first-floor windows he found they were all locked also. This created quite a dilemma. After weighing his options, Protime […]
Protime Predictions Week 6, 2021
October 7, 2021 | Phil Myers
Protime wants to know if his readers ever saw the Tim Conway-Harvey Korman dentist skit on the old Carol Burnett show. If some of you players, fans, and coaches have never seen it, Google it. Protime thinks you will not be disappointed and you’ll laugh hysterically and want to show it to your friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IUSM4EKcRI […]
Protime Predictions Week 5, 2021
September 30, 2021 | Phil Myers
Protime checked one item off of his bucket list this summer when he played baseball with his son in the local Federation League. Always wanting to play second base for the last third of an inning with Protime Junior on the mound, Protime got his wish on Fathers’ Day no less. After walking 2 miles […]
Protime Predictions, Week 4, 2021
September 23, 2021 | Phil Myers
When Protime began to cover high school football games he didn’t park his duff in the pressbox or roam on the sidelines, he sat as close as he could to the fifty-yard line and as high up as he could to get that bird’s eye view. The very first game he attended as a member […]
