2009 NFL Week 4 Early Leans

1-2 last week, would have been 2-2 or better had I listened to myself and those around me on New England and Detroit. That, friends is progress. First some news & notes around the league:
In the good coaching column:
Jim Schwartz – Detroit Lions
We’ve got to get to the point where a Week 3 [...]

Quick preview of next week’s MIN@GB tilt

I guess people in Wisconsin are still bitter.  Especially after what happened Sunday with the Vikes.

2009 NFL Week 3 Picks

One of the next items to add to this site is author record. My roommate just asked me if I had any NFL picks so he could take the other side. Yes, it’s been that bad the last few weeks. At least my Aussie Rules bet covered yesterday. Taking all home [...]

Week 3 Rambling Rant Drill

Some thoughts on Week 2, College and Pro:
Hey, Houston Texans, here’s a tip: it might be a good idea to cover that Chris Johnson guy (clip starts at around 00:38).  Looks like they need someone who can point this out to them: they need to hire Gus Johnson as their defensive coordinator to yell at [...]

The NFL and Nature
The NFL has become so fast and efficient that last season, teams each scored 22.03 points per game, the highest since 1967, while all the league’s 32 teams combined for [...]

2009 NFL Week 3 Early Leans

So I’m 2 for 2 in losing weeks to open the season, not unlike last year. Maybe I should just start my NFL season in October. This week’s lines are terrible. I don’t like anything other than New Orleans when they opened at -4 in Buffalo and New England, who actually [...]

Awesome Mad Men parody

If you are a fan of the show Mad Men, or a fan of the Sox,you’ll love this video parody via The Bostonist.
The language used is the same I used towards the TV on Sunday as Tom Brady was on his ass….again.  How about some two tight end shotgun, or a halfback/middle screen, Bill!

First, apologies for not getting Eric Foster’s UFC 103 picks linked up. 3 for 3 and more than making up for last month’s disappointing card.
Quickly with the NFL picks. All 2 units unless noted.
Cleveland/Denver Over 37 4u
Big bet of the week as mentioned earlier. This is [...]

NFL 2 Minute Ramble Drill

Few thoughts about last week’s games:
We had 2 miracle covers on Sunday.  First was by the Baltimore Ravens (-13), who decided to run it in from 4th an inches from the goal line versus Kansas City on Sunday.  The meaningless TD helped them cover, 38-24.  Thanks John Harbaugh (who had to know the line!), I [...]
