2019 SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL AND IMPEACHMENT

We have four teams vying for the right to go to the Super Bowl here in North Miami, as well as two parties vying this upcoming week to fire the opening shots in the 2020 Presidential Election. 
Football first. The 

Titans versus Chiefs. Here is all Tennessee has done on its improbable run to the AFC Championship Game. They beat the team with the best defense in football in 2019 (The Cheaters of New England) and then beat the team with the best offense in football (The Ravens of Baltimore).  And they beat both teams on the road. What can't they do? Beat the Chiefs in KC. But this game should be close. KC will be without their star rookie Safety Juan Thornhill (torn ACL) and pro-bowl D Lineman Chris Jones (calf) is a game-time decision.  The Titans can run the rock even when teams stack the line to stop the run. That will keep the game close.  In week Ten Tennessee beat the Chiefs at home 35-32. It might not be that close on the road, but it should be within a TD. Tennessee +7. 

Green Bay at San Fran.  In Week 12 San Fran blew out the Pack 37-8 after jumping out to a 23-0 lead.  Second verse, same as the first. The 49'ers have the D stop Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones and anyone else named Aaron or otherwise on Green Bay. 7.5 seems like a lot to give up, but we are not buying into the Packers hype. It's more hope than hype, and their run stops in San Fran on Sunday. San Fran - 7.5.


PELOSI V TRUMP. 
The President travels to the Senate this week to fight impeachment charges on the road, albeit in front of a friendly crowd of Republican Senators.  Coming off a loss in the House where POTUS didn't even show up, the President employs a "spread-defense" with aging superstars Ken Starr, Alan Dersh, along with Pam Bondi and a host of others. Pelosi counters with her handpicked team of members of Congress that no one could have named three months ago. 
Pelosi needs sixty-seven votes and she cannot count on more than fifty. At Trump plus at least seventeen, it's a hard line to turn down. Take the President and the points and look for a quick victory.

Hey RUMPOLE or Captain:

What years was Steven Chaykin a Federal Prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney’s Office?

What year did he leave and where did he go to when he left?

He was one of the greats. Please tell me more?

I think you take a teaser with the President +27 (17 plus ten for the teaser) and the chiefs +3 (-7 and plus ten for the teaser) and do a parlay Trump + Chiefs. Sure fire money winner.

OMG I cannot even believe I am forced into this but my GF and I pretty much aren't speaking over this ridiculous argument: Do Junior Mints come in one size only or are there Junior-Junior mints in a Junior size?
Please help.

Here you go Pal- hope it helps-

In 2009, Tootsie Roll introduced a companion product, "Junior Mints Deluxe". The "Deluxe" is a larger dark chocolate covered mint that comes foil wrapped (much like a chocolate covered cherry) and is sold in 10, 22, and 72-piece boxes with a fold up sign, designed for individual piece sale on retail counter tops

Steve Chaykin was a AUSA here in the Southern District. I am sorry to report that he had a tragic accident and died in Colorado while on a hiking trip. I understand that he was trying to help his wife who fell into a stream. In the process, he slipped and hit his head on a large rock. His wife survived.

I was thinking about him over New Years when I was at Big Sur walking on the rocks.
