All,

So, I started out with a Formula Tool with a DateTime Format to convert the Day to the weekday. I then used two daisy chained Find and Replace Tools to find "Football". 

-The Predictive Part was fun as I used the ARIMA Model and then  TS Forecast Model.
-I used the summation tool and sum, versus average values. Reconstructing the months and years for the future periods was interesting after I used a RecordID starting with 13 as the start of the future periods. I used a Multi-Row Formula was ROW-12 in order to add future months and then years based on Record ID.

--Please let me know if anyone did this differently as I am really interested to see what the other options are as I know that there is a way to do the Year in Mult-row formula, but I am out of time for the week.
-Cheers!

Need to practice more those TS tools

Does it make sense to predict comments when those articles in Dec have just had less time to accumulate comments than those in Jan? I went with the RunTotal because of that.
